Protests - Part 59

Greenpeace, Burgundy 2009

On Oct. 3, 2009, Spencer Tunick gathered 700 volunteers in a vineyard in southern Burgundy, France, to protest against the dangers of global warming: in this case the danger that the impact of climate change could affect wine production.  The taste of wine is very dependent on the soil and climate where the grapes are grown.

Spencer Tunick, at left, chats with one of the naked volunteers.  All Greenpeace events use naked volunteers in order to attract publicity.

Above, the volunteers hold empty bottles upside-down, perhaps to symbolize what will happen if climate change affects the vineyards.

Everyone has to be naked at a Greenpeace event, even the reporters.  Here, a naked reporter interviews one of the volunteers.

And here we see the reporter from the rear.

The next day, naked volunteers were photographed in the wine cellars.

Why does it matter whether climate change affects the vineyards?  Because one of the pleasures in life is cock au vin (above).

And the changing climate really is affecting the vineyards...just as they said it would. Some are attempting to move growth to northern regions of the UK.
