Nudists on a Glacier

The title of the associated press article states, "Hundreds of People Pose Nude on Switzerland Glacier to Raise Awareness About Climate Change"

People! It's a glacier!

Why would you want to be nude on a glacier?

Glaciers are cold!

For crying out loud, you're on a giant iceform...put some clothes on!

Perhaps you could, I don't know, ride your bike to work, plant a garden, recycle.

Do people seriously think they are going to raise awareness about climate change by being naked?

Sure it got my attention, but only because I think they should put clothes on.

Al Gore has already told us of the inconvenient truth and he managed to keep his clothes on just fine.

(And we thank him).

(Gore, I'm sure, is leading by example. I'm sure he only has one household, one vehicle, and composts his coffee grounds and fruit peels.)

I wish I had known about all of this nudity on ice business before hand.

I would have had a counter photo shoot featuring the "Bundle-Uppers" for climate change.

I would have made the point that if we don't stop these glaciers from melting then we won't have to bundle up any more.

The "Bundle-Uppers" would probably not get as much publicity as the nudists for the simple reason that people with less clothes on make the news far more than people with larger amounts of clothes.

Oh, another thought.

If you don't want a glacier to melt, why would you stick 600 warm bodies on it? Wouldn't that make it melt even more?

Oh well.
