This project consists of a cylindrical structure of installation of two floors. The first with multiple entries (which symbolize the various choices that can be done throughout life) will have sensors that will be placed randomly on the floor. These sensors nothing more than mere buttons, linked to computers, which will trigger pisados to be one of the videos that the computer has stored. The videos represent a consequence that the person, by stepping on the button, generated in the world. At the center of the first floor there will be a sofa, only to a person who has integrated two buttons, one to climb to the top floor, and another to fall. On the second floor, the person can then view the result that caused. For example, one of the buttons to step activates the consequence of throwing a cigarette to the ground as soon vai see a fire.
The paradox is under the title "Rest in Peace", taking two directions: one is that of being comfortably seated on a sofa to rest and the other is that they be dying to do indirectly, because we are destroying the planet, is destroying itself to do it.
CRICHTON, Michael. "State of Panic." Don Quixote, Lisbon, 2004
"It is a most provocative book of Michael Crichton. It takes us from Iceland to Antarctica, the desert of Arizona to Paris, from Los Angeles to the Solomon Islands, to show us that the future may well be dominated by eco-terrorists who frighten us with a large non-problem: the Global Warming. And that kind truly threatened with extinction may be the human species."
- Counterpoint of the documentary "A Disadvantage Truth", which shows through fiction the possibility of Global Warming can not exist and, actually, this alarmism to the disaster be an illusion caused by the major powers, responsible for scientific research presented because they can manipulate the results in their favour and as such there is the question of what is real or not. "I came to the conclusion that the majority of environmental principles (such as sustainable development and the precautionary principle) have as a result the preservation of the economic advantages of the West and thus constitute a modern form of Imperialismo in relation to the developing world . It's a nice way of saying 'We have, but we do not want you have, because it causes too much pollution. "

This site contains a map that illustrates the various consequences of global warming throughout the world. Europe and North America are the areas in which they get more concrete data on the subject and the other continents more difficult to obtain information. The map is divided me two categories: fingerprints - events that are manifestations of long-term and large areas, indicated with icons yellow and Harbingers - events that may become more common if global warming continues, indicated with icons red.
