Hundreds strip naked on glacier in global warming protest.
Aletsch Glacier, Switzerland — An emergency provokes extreme responses: human beings in danger will abandon social niceties, etiquette, and the norms of acceptable behaviour to raise an alarm any way they can when lives are in danger. Today, 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.

Me and my boyfriend came from Mallorca, Spain and we thought it was the most incredible thing we've ever done.

Though everybody spoke diferent languages, when we were all naked in front of the wild nature, we felt a feeling of union among all the people who were there.

The ~60kW generated by the participants is insignificant compared to the effects of long term increases in air temperature.

Saying that their presence "melted the glacier" is a scale error comparable to saying that you shouldn't take a flashlight into a burning building because the waste heat makes the fire worse.

The song is "Mjandrio" by Stimmhorn in case anyone's curious.

Global warming results not from the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, but from an unusually high level of solar radiation and a lengthy almost throughout the last century growth in its intensity...Ascribing 'greenhouse' effect properties to the Earth's atmosphere is not scientifically substantiated...Heated greenhouse gases, which become lighter as a result of expansion, ascend to the atmosphere only to give the absorbed heat away

Change the soceity and things will change. This is a sad attempt to raise awareness. I don't want Green police on my door...I'll tell them to take a hike.

This video has inspired me to burn all my old rugs instead of discard them properly! Take that environment!

As far as I know, United States is the only country that refers to "Climate Change" as "Global Warming". Such a misnomer confuses and allows those responsible to accept no reponsibility. The climate is changing drastically. You might be becoming warmer or colder, but the climate is changing beyond any natural boundaries.
