"Duh!" of the Day
Does this seem like the most effective way to make their point?
ALETSCH GLACIER, Switzerland (Reuters) - Hundreds of people posed naked on Switzerland's shrinking Aletsch glacier on Saturday for U.S. photographer Spencer Tunick as part of a Greenpeace campaign to raise awareness of global warming.
Tunick, perched on a ladder and using a megaphone, directed nearly 600 volunteers from all over Europe and photographed them on a rocky outcrop overlooking the glacier, which is the largest in the Alps.
Later he took pictures of them standing in groups on the mass of ice and lying down. Camera crews were staged at five different points on the glacier to take photographs.
[...]
The environmental group Greenpeace, which organized the shoot, said the aim was to "establish a symbolic relationship between the vulnerability of the melting glacier and the human body."
Greenpeace said if global warming continues unabated, most glaciers will disappear from the Earth by 2080.
Hey, geniuses! Cold thingies -- like glaciers -- melt faster when warm thingies -- like naked moonbats and photographers and assistants -- are in close proximity.
Take a look at this wideangle view.
Look at all those people, destroying the pristine beauty of this magnificent vista. Why do they hate Nature? Why do they hate Gaia?
How much damage did they do, how much CO2 did they dump into the atmosphere, traveling to the glacier, how much faster did the river of ice melt, thanks to their self-obsessed, fame-seeking stunt.
What a bunch of maroons hypocrites.

Why do they hate the troops?

If the chicks taking part were good looking enough, I might pose nude in a jungle environment. My ego would keep me from strutting and being photographed on a freezing cold iceberg if you know what I mean?

Seriously nuts. I hate when ice sticks to me when reaching for ice cubes with wet hands. I'm betting it would hurt more stuck to my WARM (well, warmer than ice) feet on a MELTING glacier.
