Last but not least: Emotions against climate change

 If you want publicity, take your clothes off. Not Paris Hilton, but Greenpeace has once again confirmed this rule. In a campaign against global warming, 600 people posed naked on the Aletsch Glacier for US photographer Spencer Tunick on Saturday. With this action, the environmental organization Greenpeace wanted to draw attention to the effects of global warming, according to SDA. Greenpeace campaign manager Markus Allemann expressed his satisfaction with the march when asked. The group of participants was a diverse mix: people of advanced age also posed. The nude models came from German-speaking and French-speaking Switzerland and from abroad. The nude models were lucky with the weather: the temperatures were relatively mild and the wind was light, said Allemann. With terrycloth slippers and small mats, the organization ensured that the posers did not freeze to the glacier. According to the climate reports of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), there are still eight years left to take steps to drastically reduce greenhouse gases. The facts alone were clearly not enough to get decision-makers to act, said Allemann. That is why emotions are now needed as arguments.
