On the benches of giants

On the benches of giants
Or rather, in the world of midgets who allowed their greed to destroy their own home (and that of all life on the planet).

The city of Copenhagen has elevated its public benches to raise awareness of rising sea levels.

Benches have been elevated to match what the UN considers to be a realistic rise of the sea-level in the year 2100.

A plaque on the bench reads ‘Flooding will become part of our everyday life unless we start doing something about our climate. According to the latest UN Climate Report sea-levels are expected to rise with up to 1 meter before 2100 if the global warming continues.’
