thanks for the post
the rethink art re climate change discussion is going on
at
http://www.rethinkclimate.org/debat/rethink-art/
<http://www.rethinkclimate.org/debat/rethink-art/>but maybe yasminers can
contribute to the discussion
leading to copenhagen in december= are any uyasminers
involved in art projects that deal in some way with rising
sea levels ?
mediterranean sea level rises are predicted to be less
more like 25 cm
but some extreme models predict 1m rise which endangers the nile delta

here is an example of an artists work that relies on the tide water to
destroy his art work
there is a group in england mobiliser around rising sea levels including
artists
Luke Jerrram has a very nice work that translates normal tidal variations
into
a water sculpure inside a gallery

An addendum to the art & climate change discussion:
250,000 homes 'at risk' from rising seas
By environment reporter Sarah Clarke and staff
Posted 5 hours 38 minutes ago
Updated 3 hours 2 minutes ago
A new report has warned that up to 250,000 homes around Australia will be
inundated due to climate change by the turn of the century.
The Federal Government report titled Climate Change Risks to Australia's
Coast is the most comprehensive assessment to date, taking into account a
projected 1.1-metre rise in sea level and an increasing risk of extreme
weather events like tidal and storm surges.
