Bottom Line on Global Warming

I was reading the newspaper yesterday and saw this article and image in it, photographed by an artist from New York called Spencer Tunick.

Spencer Tunick is a photographer that captures photographs of nudes, and in numbers and he has taken this one in Switzerland for his latest project to highlight the effects of global warming. Tunick had the backing of many environment campaigners, including Greenpeace who said "Melting glaciers are an indisputable sign of climate change."

This is not the full photograph that was in the newspaper, I could not find it, but the full one has a man in the foreground wearing clothes and a green high visibility jacket with the message, "Save the climate. Act Now!" This person stands out the most, and gives the message that the whole image is trying to capture.

I honestly think this is a very clever way of dealing with a current world issue, and showing that the worlds glaciers are shrinking by showing that people can pose nude in those sort of conditions. I have not heard of this photographer before, but this particular campaign has caught my eye, and hopefully nobody will take offence, and will make a change to peoples habits. The size of this project is massive, taking hundreds of models to Switzerland and capturing them in such a way to show the people, and show the effects of global warming.
