British sculptor Antony Gormley, creator of the Angel of the North, encourages us all to go barefoot so we can connect with the planet and 'feel' global warming.

biggest con job of all time, now its called climate change, well of course the bloody climate changes, and has done so for billions of years. al gore has a lot to answer for, but of course its not about "climate" control its ultimatly about "people" control.

Idealistic P***K, there is around 18 mill jobs related to leather, shoes and the retail business in general. Not to mention that leather is a waste product from cows which would have to be disposed of. Yeh lets destroy a few million lives so our feet can feel the grass.........

There are much better ways to feel what's good to feel, or to be in touch with. This idea is just playing around. Perhaps yearning to be like the animals, or for rich people who have nothing else to think about. How about to feel more in touch with the world by living without any money or possesions? May THAT would be more natural!

I don't need to see people's disgusting bare feet. Please keep your shoes on and avoid flip flops as much as possible!

so the cultured Brit is telling us to use the footwear of the uncouth Arkansas hillbilly? Interesting. But experiencing the weather is as simple as just being outside, not skipping from the climate controlled house to the climate controlled car to the climate controlled....well, you get the picture.

you go barefoot for a while and your soles thicken like leather - can barely feel a thing. works for walking around, but not so good about 'feeling the earth'. nice idea tho

i encourage us all to go barefoot on the earth or lie down on the earth and it's not to feel "global warming"

@morehate4uall It a lot cleaner here. I don't have many problems, only occasionally picking up a shard of glass. Its easily removed and I go on my way.

It is nice to take off your shoes.... at the beach, home, pool or while your having sex. Any other time, its just creepy.
