Freezing your butt off for Global Warming
August 20th 2007 04:30
Freezing their Butts and other bits off 600 swedish troopers climbed up a melting Glacier for Photographer Spencer Tunick and Greenpeace on the Weekend to raise awareness for Global Warming.
I'll have to say this makes some other attempts at raising Global warming awareness look rather feeble. When I first saw this article I was afraid for how cold their feet would have been, then I discovered in other shots they lay FACE DOWN in groups....OUCH OUCH OUCH....
Here's hoping there is some Photographers trick and they are holding at least one item of clothing away from the camera's, otherwise these people are HEROES......its not like they even get their faces in the Pap like celebrities, they are baring all for the cause anonymously.
Given the rivalry between Climate Change Believers and Climate Change Hoaxers you have to wonder what the Hoaxers will come up with next to raise awareness for their argument....no close ups PLEASE...this is about about all we can take and I think we are all stoked Al Gore isn't in these photo's he's stacked on a few Kg's lately and it may not be a pretty sight.
Really Long Link

I wonder who they will impress. Another 5 second wonder, but that's not surprising for some of them.
Naughty me, not bad for an old wowser. I just love being a wowser, it's heaps of fun.

we once held off a Japanese whaling frieghter with four rubber Zodiac boats when I was in college just to prove our point...
After a nine hour standoff they gave up and sailed away...At the time we all thought we were heros
But this!?? Oh no, my bits are a tad too valuable to me to simply let them freeze and break off!
These people are heros, and to be commended for what they did...
Take care,
Nick
