1000 ice men against Global Warming
posted by Djouls at 10:27 AM
To Draw people's attention on global Warming and the melting of the ice caps in Antarctica and Greenland, the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) created this event on September the 2nd (2009) with a thousand small men made out of ice, in Berlin, Germany.
WWF warns that the melting ice could eventually cause sea levels to rise more than 3.3 feet (1 meter) by 2100 and that it might change weather in many part of the world.
The little figures were made by Nele Azevedo, a Brezilian artist.
The little sculptures melted in half an hour s the outside temperature was about 73 degrees Fahrenheit (23¬ƒ C)

Are they men or people?
I believe Julien, who made the post, is using the term "men" to mean people.
Well I meant people but on the many U.S. website I checked they said "men" also. I guessed they meant people since my English is not that good.
Great article, the photographs really add punch to our predicament!
SOME species of Australian birds are shrinking and the trend will likely continue because of global warming, a scientist said.
Janet Gardner, an Australian National University biologist, led a team of scientists who measured museum specimens to plot the decline in size of eight species of Australian birds over the past century.
The research, published last week in the British journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, found the birds in Australia’Äôs southeast had become between 2 per cent to 4 per cent smaller.
Over the same century, Australia’Äôs average daily temperature rose 1.3 degrees Fahrenheit (0.7 deg C), with the sharpest increase since the 1950s.
