A self-styled adventurer is to spend a year living on a melting iceberg off the coast of Greenland to try to draw attention to climate change.
In spring next year Alex Bellini, 36, will find a suitable iceberg off the north west of Greenland where he will remain until it melts.
He hopes his stunt will raise awareness of the impact of global warming, which the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) recently warned is 'widespread and consequential'.

The average temperature in Greenland is around 40 degrees fahrenheit. Ice melts starting at 32 degrees. Of course it is going to melt you moron. So I guess when you copy Jack Lemmon’s line in the Great Race of “when it gets to my upper lip, I’m going to say something to someone,” it will be a practical application of stupidity. Might want to have a boat standing by for just such emergencies.

I hope a bear eats him.....grin.
A fool and his money?
“(He writes) I strongly believe that human beings grow and get stronger when exposed to stress, volatility, fear and disorder.”
Well, maybe that’s why we survived the previous Presidency.
Good point..
Great idea. He should go on one where there are ‘starving’ polar bears so he can document the horrific effects of climate change. Also, he should wear a garland of seal meat (from one that died from climate change, of course) to attract the bears to him so he can pet them and tell them everything will be okay little buddy.
Might I suggest the ice flow be repopulated with polar bears?
Finally, an explanation on what the little scammer has been up to. If this goes on any longer, the bonehead will set the record for the oldest person to ever watch ice melt - from his mansion.
He would stay on it until it rolls over and it’s very scary ,even a very small berg
It’s an ice burg...sitting in salt water and floating in ocean currents. They all eventually melt! even the big ones. The one the Titanic struck, turned to water years ago. This clown needs to start at the top of the glacier and ride it down to the water. If he lives long enough, he might make it... Depending on the size of the glacier.
Someone needs to drop a load of seal blood on his berg. Let’s see if any of the “critically endangered” polar bears show up to keep him company!
“...38-year-old Italian public speaker...”
HAH! So he yells out loud in a bar. Big deal.
So he is going to crap and pee on an iceberg for a year to protect the environment?
Polar bears can see, smell, and swim... just sayin’.
Get out there already. The Polar Bears are hungry.
Seals will show up on their own,
and he’ll welcome them with open arms ...
then the polar bears will show up,
and welcome the lot with open jaws ...
the seals are faster then Bellini,
which means ...
That was 4 years ago so what happened to him? Eaten by a polar bear or chickened out?
If the iceberg stayed close to Greenland with him on it wouldn’t that be considered a serving tray to a polar bear?
