Hundreds strip naked on glacier in global warming protest

Parental warning: Contains (very tasteful) nudity.

Six hundred people shed their clothes on a glacier in the Swiss Alps to bodily cry out for help against a planetary emergency: global warming.

The nude volunteers posed for us and renowned naked "installation" artist Spencer Tunick on the Aletsch Glacier.

Without clothes, the human body is vulnerable, exposed, its life or death at the whim of the elements. Global warming is stripping away our glaciers and leaving our entire planet vulnerable to extreme weather, floods, sea-level rise, global decreases in carrying capacity and agricultural production, fresh water shortages, disease and mass human dislocations.

If global warming continues at its current rate, most glaciers in Switzerland will completely disappear by 2080, leaving nothing but valleys and slopes strewn with rock debris.

Some people waste their lives paying for cars. Mountain bikes can go many places that cars and 4wds can't go.

.

I don't know why people are so keen on 4 wheel driving, unless they aren't fit enough to ride a bike.

United States oil production peaked in 1970. By 2005 imports were twice the production.

With my little eye, how many boners can I spy?

Whether one sees the world as God's creation or as a secular mystery that science is on the way to figuring out, there is no denying the beauty and majesty of everything from mountain ranges, deserts, and rain forests to the exquisite details in the design of an ordinary mosquito

Australians,

please sign this petition in the hope the government will fund renewable energy to achieve zero carbon emissions in the not too distant future

(it should be the first link in the search) - thank you,

Australian Youth Climate Coalition.

Your interest in this issue will benefit humanity and all other species.

I wonder how many liters of fossils fuels they burned getting to a glacier in the swiss alps. Stupid hypocrites.

@stopglobalwarming08 AGW is BS. CO2 is what plants turn into the oxygen we breathe. Grade school science. When CO2 becomes too low, plants die. When the plants die, we die. What is wrong with you people?

only idiots belive in global warming

[stopglobalwarming08]

Ignore the sick trolls, TOO MUCH CO2 is the issue, idiots. Screw oil, push for green energy.

Do you think NASA has any credibility ?

CO2 is NOT a pollutant, it is a natural trace gas present in the atmosphere in very tiny amounts, it is essential for nearly all life on the planet. Comparing Mercury to CO2 is like comparing a shot gun to a water pistol. If we spend billions paying middlemen like Al Gore to buy & sell carbon credits, then there will be no money left to tackle or eliminate real polution ,like mercury or nuclear waste etc. There are enough real problems to deal with, without making up lies.
