Climate Change: Those hacked e-mails
Some more facts about “those leaked climate change emails” that have mobilized all those figures now claiming there’s nothing to be frightened about - its all a “scam” - you name it - well you know - just carry on watching TV - you know like the GOOOOOD people.
Yes Bernie that’s how you got those 50 billions but we’re not sure that this also works with mass manipulation.
And in completely unrelated news by these maSS-manipulators - the leading industrial nations - might be again announced during the Copenhagen photo opportunity - have agreed to shell out USD 10 Billions per year to fight those “non-existing” threats to human race on this planet - providing those monies to countries who are hardest hit by climate change - small island states - developing countries with long and low coast lines - i.e. BangLadesh - but don’t worry - nothing to fear here - move on - and if that won’t help - well there is still “duck and cover” that worked so well in the 1950s with the atomic bribery…

Environment: WWF - It’s a beautiful day
A new clip for the WWF to raise awareness about Global Warming. We are shown - with black humor - how people have adapted to the changes in weather patterns and natural disasters.
A couple taking a stroll with their baby during a Hurricane, campers out in the “wilderness” that has become a burning forest and the “good people” still washing their cars on the weekend even while they’re drowning in the flood.

Environment: MTV 3650
A short film for “MTV Switch” to help raise the awareness of global warming effects. The film combines live action and animation with toy-like clouds, cars, planes moving around a globe. Cities and traffic grows until the whole globe is over-run and choked by cities and pollution filled clouds.
According to the movie there are only about 10 years (3650 days) left until the pollution will…

Climate Change: Greenpeace EfficienCity
The UK branch of Greenpeace has put a model of an ideal city of the future online. The virtual town called “EfficienCity” shows with animations, videos and lots of information how a climate friendly city might look like. It generates its own energy decentralized from local renewable resources vs. receiving it from a centralized grid of nuclear or coal power plants. Greenpeace uses this Sim-City of Energy to demonstrate a way to lower greenhouse gas emissions, towards a more secure energy supply, cheaper electricity and heating bills and a whole new attitude towards energy…

Earthrace - the last run on its 2007 record attempt (Part 2)
Earlier this year - in May - we had a chance to participate for a few days on the attempt of “Earthrace” to break the UIM world record for circumnavigation with their bio-diesel boat.
(this post a continuation of the post Earthrace - the last run on its 2007 record attempt (Part 1) )
We have (together with another company) sponsored their last leg on their attempt to break the world record during 2007. On their “web site” there is now information that their second run to break the record will commence in March 2008 from Valencia, Spain. Good luck with that…
While a lot could be said about the 4-5 days leg from Port Suez to Valencia we participated - one thing’s for sure - it was quite an experience.
We have not taken many images after heading out into the Mediterranean, but some of the pictures from the Suez Canal came out quite well…

Time: Melting and collapsing iceberg videos
While watching calving icebergs or glaciers always has been kind of spectacular for most people, these days with continuously shrinking polar ice caps something might be different.
Watch the videos to see how even a “small piece” or iceberg collapsing can cause gigantic waves or a tsunami…

Advertising: Hip-Hop for Food
What is getting one of Switzerland’s biggest companies (Coop) to ask the country’s best known and maybe most controversial Hip-Hop artist (Stress) to write a song for them and do a TV spot?
And this without prescribing the topic or other limitations put up.
… and then the whole thing becomes a great success and is shown multiple times everyday on TV.
It’s not exactly like 50 Cent would do a clip for K-Mart - (despite he might never consider this because of…)

Earthrace - the last run on its 2007 record attempt (Part 1)
There was a lot of press coverage lately on the “Earthrace” attempt to break the world record of circumnavigation for power boats with a bio-diesel boat.
It happens to be that we have (together with another company) sponsored their last leg on their attempt to break the world record. And we have just learn that “Richard Branson” now is considering to “sponsor another attempt” for the world record next year, so we thought we might still share some of our impressions and images of our time on-board during the run from Egypt to Spain…
