The Friday Matinee

More Friday afternoon streaming video with naked people on a glacier topping the bill.

it's Friday, so logically it must be time for the Friday Matinee, a barely veiled excuse to fritter away the dragging hours before the weekend.

This week we're going naked, but all in a good cause, as 600 people get their kit off on a glacier as Greenpeace protests about the impact of global warming on our environment. Yes, there is nudity, but nothing offensive. Strangely poignant.

Want to see what we're losing? This clip looks at glacial recession in the Peruvian Andes and its implications for the country.

And another Greenpeace video from the Himalayas and the Mount Everest region in particular.

And how China's Yellow River is threatened as its source in Tibet shrivels in the face of global warming and threatens to turn into a desert.

Sadly there's lots more where that came from. Thankfully people like Greenpeace and others are trying to do something about it, even in the States where students are campaigning to save Mount Hood's glaciers...

So yes, this week's Friday Matinee has been hijacked by environmental awareness, but hey what's the internet for?

Have a good weekend.
