Photo via CO2 Post Yesterday, I wondered aloud whether there was any way to steer the general conversation about climate change away from the realm of political ideology — and the overwhelming response in the comments section left me even more bewildered than before.

Photo: Neozoon Hear Me Roar! Art has always been used to make people think about a variety of issues, from un-subtle propaganda posters to great literary novels that make us see the world through the eyes of people very different from us. Somewhere in between those extremes lies Neozoon, a European collective of street artists that has decided to use discarded fur coats to make a point about how we related to and treat animals.
