Copenhagen’s melting mermaid
link.reuters.comAs promised, here is Emma Graham-Harrison's blog on Copenhagen's 'Melting Mermaid' - an ice sculpture brought to the summit by Friends of the Earth. The icey tribute to the city's famous waterfront statue, which will be allowed to melt in the next few days, represents global warming and is there to remind delegates what is at stake in the two weeks of talks.

The pictures below are of sculptures from the installation 'The Pulse of the Earth', outside the congress centre. Like much of the art and installations on show across the city, it is designed to shock by drawing attention to the consequences of global warming. The pics are by Reuters photographer Pawel Kopczynski
Climate campaigners Avaaz (www.avaaz.org) just staged a 'die-in' in the conference centre's main hallway. Members of the global campaign group, dressed in creepy overalls, collapsed one by one to highlight the fact that "Climate change already causes 300,000 deaths every year." Avaaz is calling for nothing less than a "real deal in Copenhagen." Dramatic stuff, and I'm sure there will be lots more of this sort of thing over the next two weeks. Reuters photographer Bob Strong was there and I'll post a few of his pictures shortly.
