ArticlesIt looks like a traditional toy – a touristy tchotchke from a European holiday. There, inside a small hemispherical globe filled with a thick, clear liquid, is a tiny, and disproportionate, plastic travesty of a Paris streetscape.
It’s a snow globe… or is it?
When you pick it up and shake it, you notice something is amiss. There is no swirling storm of white dots. The liquid doesn’t contain the expected plastic granules representing snow flakes the size of a Pekinese.
This isn’t a Snow Globe. It is my new invention. A No Globe.
Bewildered, you inspect the scene more closely, and see the propaganda message hidden amongst the struts of the plastic Eiffel Tower: Stop Global Warming Now.
