Polar Bear in Downtown Montreal!!!

Right beside my office building...
They installed at the end of February an iced polar bear... The bear is there until it melts (!) to show the impact of climate change.  Too bad I didn't get to see the full sized iced polar bear!!
Here's the link explaining the use of the polar bear:

    That is really neat and interesting! I wish I could have seen it before it melted too!

    What a great way to visually demonstrate their point. Love the 1st skyscraper shot as well.

    Very neat! I wish I'd seen it before it started melting to. Hope you take more pix when it's all melted as well.
