In a bold move that somehow didn't manage to arouse the interest of mainstream media, artist Claudine Andres shoved a striking piece of climate art in Old Saint Peter’s Cathedral earlier this week. Despite its controversial nature, it seems this ambitious stunt was deemed not sensational enough to be plastered across the front page of our esteemed newspapers. Instead, it was relegated to the whispering corridors of social media, resoundingly eclipsed by Kim Kardashian's fifth identical clone being let loose in Beverly Hills. Andres' large-scale installation, titled "Here Today, Gone Tomorrow," takes the form of a 25-foot-tall paper maiche glacier in the main nave. A visual representation of the foreboding doom of climate change, this daring piece brutally interrupts the uniform tranquility of the cathedral. But it appears that our media betters judged it less significant than a path-breaking story on the 'Shroud of Turin' miraculously leaving zero coffee stains despite multiple espresso luncheons. Captured in a time-lapse video, this slowly melting pseudo-glacier is littered with various objects representing humanity's wanton consumption and reckless disregard for our environment. From plastic cutlery to gasoline pumps, Andres wanted to make a point about the precariousness of our planet, but, apparently, a celebrity's newest pet kitten on Instagram is more interesting, crucial, and newsworthy. The bishop in residence, somewhat surprisingly, gave an enthusiastic thumbs-up to the installation. Unlike a particular tabloid, he appreciated the urgency of the message Andres was trying to convey. While he has been trying to discuss the glacier with anyone interested, the media seems more absorbed in the vital question of whether or not the latest Royal baby has inherited his father's receding hairline. "Climate change is not a conceptual horse of the apocalypse," the bishop reportedly said, "It is real, it is happening now, and it needs our immediate attention." Rather unfortunately, this potent statement was drowned out by the earth-shattering news of a former reality star launching a new line of perfume. Andres lamented, "People pay more attention to a dead gorilla than a dying planet." But hey, who are we to deny ourselves the dopamine kick of mindlessly scrolling through celebrity gossip or watching paint dry, when we could be acknowledging art that is a call to action? Given that we live in a world where the slow but sure destruction of our planet is about as riveting as watching grass grow, perhaps Andres should consider a career switch: from climate change activist to designing obese emoji for Twitter. That’s bound to get her some front-page real estate. Oh well, at least we don't have to endure any 'inconvenient truths,' and can smugly sleepwalk towards oblivion, knowing that we didn't miss that viral video of a dog riding a unicycle. After all, what's the extinction of countless species, raging wild fires and rising sea levels compared to the cataclysmic news of a celebrity breakup?
