WWF is on a roll lately. Guess what this is?
Answer below.
Gosh, they’re melting! 1000 tiny icemen sculptures were placed on the steps at the Gendarmenmarkt Square in Berlin, Germany at noon, today, September 2nd, 2009.
They began melting in about a half hour according to wire reports.
The melting ice men were created by Brazilian artist Néle Azevedo. The exhibit was part of a launch campaign from WWF Germany to “raise awareness” about the effects of climate change in the Arctic.
So why not melting polar bears? Too graphic for some maybe?
According to some blog entires I’ve read, Azevedo has been setting up her tiny melting men sculptures in several countries since 2005.
It’s “art”. Greenmuze has an interview with the artist.

Sure why not, down in Australia, it appears some activists will be using a new tactic:
Actually, there isn’t. In the Norwegian parliament there are 7 or 8 different parties of all colours that will be represented after the election. I have checked the climate policy statements of each of these parties, and all of them support the AGW madness. There is one populist party that has tried to “ride both horses” on the issue, but when pressed they too promise to “cooperate” in Copenhagen if they get into government.
So in reality, there is noone to vote for here.
A symbol of the population the fools of WWF would like to disappear.

Chatterjee? What delicious satire.

Same difference – All smoke and mirrors!
“World Wildlife Fund / World Wrestling Federation
Same difference – All smoke and mirrors!”
Well then maybe not – the World Wrestling Federation is more intellectually acute!
Well this has changed my mind. I have a community of little ice people living near me. I’d hate to see this happen to them.
It looks like the pigeons melted first! More proof of Man’s perfidy.

When they ask you to buy carbon credits, just tell ’em you’ll plant a tree while you’re there instead!!
Reminds me of the snowman in the Youtube debates.
“Stupid is as stupid does”: yes, that’s apparently why it was impossible for the WWF to go with nudity next or maybe even the equally well-tested giant paper mache’ puppets as “consciousness raisers”, but instead was forced to go with the enlightening retro-thrill conditioned by near anencephally*, both as their m.o. and the implied substrate of their target audience. There’s probably a message in there about the WWF’s conception of “peer review”, too….

I hope that the artist has given proper credit to the Tibetan monks for the work. They have been doing temporary sculpture for eons. Their butter sculptures are far more intricate & they work on them all night, with the morning sun starting the melt (& they have nothing to do with AGW).

And go on to explain that I do that as part of my own reforestation program after cutting hickory and oak down for firewood to be used in the woodstove in the winter season? 😉

Trifling detail, but I just thought I’d point out that the artist herself did not intend the sculptures as a comment on global warming. Taken from the interview Mr. Watts linked to:
Interviewer: Why did you make the installation?
Nele Azevedo: The installation is part of an urban intervention project, called Minimum Monument. The project is a critical reading of the monument in the contemporary cities. In a few-minute action, the official canons of the monument are inverted: in the place of the hero, the anonym; in the place of the solidity of the stone, the ephemeral process of the ice; in the place of the monument scale, the minimum scale of the perishable bodies.
The project started with solitary figures, later a multitude of small sculptures of ice were placed in public spaces of several cities. The memory is inscribed in the photographic image and shared by everyone. It is not reserved to great heroes nor to great monuments. It loses its static condition to gain fluidity in the urban displacement and in the change of state of the water. It concentrates on small sculptures of small men, the common men.
…Which is a little hard to decipher, but looks like it’s intended more as a commentary on monuments in general than anything climatological. The association with global warming comes from various environmental groups who see it as applicable to their own cause, which wasn’t really what the artist intended–although she doesn’t seem to mind the association much. Let the audience see in it what they wish, seems to be her view.
As the Alarmists add campaigns show ever more signs of plain marxist propaganda,
the public opinion is turning against them.
In the mean time we are doing fine.
Just keep a cool head and continue debunking the semi science now turning into plain hysteria.
They are digging their own grave.
The same is true for the political establishment pushing the hoax.
They will lose big time at the next elections.
The genie is out of the bottle.
I don’t know if this is related, but add this to the news earlier this week of the white house and the NEA asking a group of artists to create art to support their agendas. Could this be in support of the cap and trade bill?
Carsten Arnholm, Norway (06:01:10) :
and Ron de Haan (09:09:58) :
I was hoping we could replace that moon-bat Erik Solheim, but I guess chances are we will just get another lunatic in his place. We gotta try though. If not this election, then the next. It may take a few years to defuse the AGW lunacy in the political establishments worldwide.
Rising sea levels, seems the Arabs missed that one when they constructed their $14 billion Palm tree development.

I’m not so sure. Angela Merkel’s party took it on the chin on last Sunday’s state and local elections. The prospect of her conservative CDU making a coalition with the business friendly Free Democrats in late September’s national elections is now melting away. But so what? Merkel is also a kook when it comes to climate change. She’s advised by that Schellnhuber demagogue and the PIK.
Come on, this is so old.
In Munich, Germany is a museum dedicated to the German comic Karl Valentin, who was famous in the 1920s and 1930s for his very unique and strange humor (he would have a field day today).
One of the exhibits is a bowl of water with the inscription:
Snowman (melted)
The water bowl shows graphically that the natural form for a snowman (or ice-man) in summer is liquid. So, what’s new?
