The world-renowned street artist known only as Banksy has struck again - this time with a strong message about global warming. The words "I DON'T BELIEVE IN GLOBAL WARMING" were painted in red along the Regent's Canal in North London, alongside other iconic art by the mysterious graffiti artist. Half the letters are below the water line, obviously drawing attention to rising water levels around the world as a result of climate change and melting ice caps.

The message was discovered just as the UN Climate Conference in Copenhagen was ending last week, a meeting of world leaders that delivered less-than-satisfactory results in reaching a global climate treaty.

Banksy is arguably one of the most popular graffiti artists in the world, with the likes of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie collecting his work. He is known for emphasizing social, economic and environmental destruction. You can find his books in all the trendy book shops and Urban Outfitters, or you can just check it out here.
