At UCSD, young conservationists are preparing a performance-art show that will feature a faux polar bear in an 8-foot-tall “electric” chair. It’s a creative riff on the theme of climate change harming the bears.

Perhaps the most unusual event will be tomorrow’s performance-art show with the giant “electric” chair. A student dressed in a polar-bear costume will be strapped into the chair and will hold a sign proclaiming, “You Have the Power.”
“At the University of Rhode Island, students placed 300-pound blocks of ice around their campus and let them melt to symbolize how global warming is affecting polar ice caps.”
I’m going to buy the game “Operation” and remove the patient’s brain to symbolize the collective intelligence of the GW crowd.
Name the bear 'Mohammed' and see how far you get.
