Summary: In Bettmeralp, Switzerland, hundreds of naked people laid on the Aletch Glacier. The people did this in hoping to show awareness about the changes of the climate. The glaciers melting is a sign of global warming and that has concerned many people in Switzerland. Many have said that by the year 2080, most of the Swiss glaciers will be gone.

Opinion: I think that what the people in Switzerland did to show awareness about global warming is a little too extreme. Yes, it's good to show awareness about the affects of global warming but to lay naked on a glacier is just too much. Many people have said to help global warming is to stop making so many buildings and stop deforrestation. Global warming is a really big issue going on right now and should be taken care of.

Cindy Osler, the matron of honor, went outside with the best man to check their car windows and she was then struck by lightning. Cindy was the best friend of the bride.

Opinion: I think it's terrible what had happened to the lady that died. This wedding was a celebration and for people to come together to be happy but then turned into a tragedy. The matron of honor was the bride's best friend and the bride said, "She was like a sister to me and a second mom to my kids.” Out of all times and places, the tragedy had to happen at a rehearsal dinner.
