Last August, 1000 little ice figures made an artistic stand against global warming in Berlin, Germany. Such a show had previously been performed in Brazil where Brazilian artist Nele Azevedo carved 1000 little ice men as a project for the World Wildlife Fund. It has also been replicated in France, Japan and Italy, but this is the first time that the public has been allowed to participate. The video brings home the message that time is running out to deal with this problem, which will affect each and every one of us.
