This is an incredibly stupid, bad and harmful idea considering the current economic and enviromental climates we are currently facing. I hope this is all propaganda to publicise himself as this is the publics money he is spending to tear up the environment for his own benefit.
You are not helping to raise awareness of climate change any more than spending this money on billboards and information leaflets.
If you feel you have to do this then spend your own money.
I agree with Rich - please don't threaten him. This (and other projects here) makes me think of the story of the emporer's new clothes. Despite the vimeo montage and the back story of the artist, I fail to see how moving an small island around on the back of a boat will make for an inspiring work of art, even less one that merits £500,000 of public money. I just hope that this folly will be exposed in time for someone who has the sense and wherewithal to pull the plug.
