    Greenpeace! What a dumb idea. That giant recreation of da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man is going to disappear as soon as that iceberg melts – OH. Oh gosh. You’re trying to put together some sort of heavy-handed metaphor about ‘mankind,’ ‘melting,’ like some sort of iceberg, because of ‘climate change.’

    The scaled-up version of da Vinci’s sketch has been constructed about 800km from the North Pole, is the size of four Olympic-sized swimming pools, and was built by artist John Quigley using copper strips. As the iceberg melts, it will eventually melt into the sea, spawning about an hour’s worth of poignant retweets before disappearing from our collective memory.

    Said Quigley:

    “We came here to create the ‘Melting Vitruvian Man’, after Da Vinci’s famous sketch of the human body, because climate change is literally eating into the body of our civilization … When he did this sketch it was the Enlightenment, the Renaissance, the dawn of this innovative age that continues to this day, but our use of fossil fuels is threatening that.”

    A polar bear, displaced by the activity on the iceberg, ventured the opinion that the smug, self-satisfied venture accomplished absolutely nothing at remarkable cost.
