Ice falling from a glacier into the ocean, near surfers. Affects of global warming.
Let’s Talk About Heat, Baby
Some people seriously don’t want the world leaders to discuss warmth. Yea… heat … from the sun … there are people who really, seriously, don’t want world leaders talking about warmth from the sun. Over 1,000 of them protested the Copenhagen Climate Summit and were arrested this past week, and good riddance.
The Melting Surfboard
A fellow surfer named Conn Bertish has come up with his own creative way to make us more aware of what climate change means to us as surfers. As part of the Save Our Seas Foundation (SOSF) Wavescapes Surf Film Festival and Art Exhibition, Conn Bertish created a life-size surfboard made out of ice. It was auctioned off on December 9, and all the proceeds went to the NSRI and Shark Spotters. The point? The surfboard ice sculpture melted over two days’ time, a visual reminder of what global warming is doing to our planet and our surf spots.
