In a bid to cue the ignorant people of the world about the threat of planetary warming , artist Brian Goggin is setting out to drop back a two - ton block of 100,000 twelvemonth old ice from Greenland to NYC . Because breathless confusion is the first tone in advocacy .
Goggin compare the whole projection to a seeking for the Holy Grail . Right . Monty Python where are you ? Seriously , confused does n’t even cut through this intact undertaking , because the method he plans to engage are out - of - this - world batshit . He means to cheat this beast out of the ice with “ Ancient Egyptian - exalt ” shaft . To fashion it after the foundation Stone of the Great Pyramid of Giza , obviously . He ’s then gon na have men , dogs , and maybe Bos taurus … no delay ! A sail kite ! He ’ll apply a sheet kite to aid in the journeying . And after that ’s done , he ’ll stick the affair on a boat . What ? No jumbo turtleneck to avail you ?
He then want to tour the Carry Amelia Moore Nation with his elephantine chalk regular hexahedron before get back in conclusion in New York . I visualize chains and plane straight out of King Kong for this . hoagy - zero ethanediol root will be used to keep the chalk wintry . And after all is said and done , he ’ll permanently preserve it . For 488 years . Behind a laser power system , like it ’s out of a crashing comic book of account . It ’s at this point that you gain that sustain this “ spectacle ” far preponderate whatever tenuous stop he was trying to make .
I ’m sorry , but this is so so unintelligent . I intend , the whole affair screams Cecil B. Demille , but in the bad possible ways . Who care about a giant block of ice ? Could n’t your energies be far better expend elsewhere , like at the bit where your point stopped making sensation ? Could n’t you at least stress to look for dragons in the ice-skating rink or something ? Honestly . [ SF Weekly , Image Credit : Hannamariah / Shutterstock ]
