[In 2015, Conservation International created a series called “Nature is speaking”, where famous people impersonated forces of nature.

I am ice.
I move slowly.
I keep the world cool.
Well, I used to.
But humans keep warming this planet.
I try to warn you.
I send pieces of me thundering into the ocean.
You do nothing.
I raise sea levels.
You do nothing.
It has taken you decades to notice.
Perhaps I’m not so slow after all.
