I didn't know this type of technology existed! Nice use of media.
It's very similar to this: http://adsoftheworld.com/media/ambient/nrdc_cup
I've seen this idea before, but that doesn't mean I don't like it.
okay, nice use of media. Agreed.
but I'll tell you where this is heading...it's gonna put smiles on people's faces, make them raise their eyebrows in wonderment, flatter almost all award juries and pick up golds and silvers.
No one is going to sit back and think, nor step up and do something about it, and that's the worst part. I hate this the most about advertising folk around the world. smokers themselves to anti-smoking ads and public service ads when they themselves don't practice or believe in it. thats the only remorse.
If you're aiming at Cannes and the likes, either 'showcase your creativity' in other product categories, or do something as effective as the earth hour or the tap water project. because hey, its 'public service' at the end of the day. this way you only end up doing your agency a favour and massage your own ego.
this is just an opinion and a perspective.

Hey Chintan,
I don't know if you're having a bad hair day or whot but why are you so agitated? Well, this is by no way close to Tap Project or Earth Hour in the scale of it...but it does deserve some appreciation for being a good talk-about work and appeared at the UN Climate Change Conference.
Were you there at the Bali conference, Chintan??? If you really believe in practicing what you preach. Well, maybe it's time for you to climb into a dingy boat and set sail for Japan and stop the damn whaling!

losing pieces here and there
hot water = heat of temperature?
hmmm...
I think the NRDC cup is much more effective communication, but neither is a very effective call to action.
exactly my point.
~ old habits die hard, older ones never do ~
It seems NRDC idea is a visual, instead of a real piece, for a real client, at a real event. I was trying to use similar tech for an idea of mine but there's alot of limitation; such as you're not able to print photograph-like imagery...just like this NRDC. Therefore, this NRDC smells fake to me.

I have a cup that does a similar thing, but its not this particular cup. Its pretty cool too. I think the message on this cup and the meaning is effective. I want one for my desk! :)
i want one of those cups!!!!!, this is so cool
my only comment is the mechanism should operate the other way around:
add heat and the land will disappear, not come to the surface.
these mugs have been around for ages, but it's an interesting use they've been given in this particular case.
does anyone know what is the chemical process of the 'special ceramic coating'?

ive got one of those temperature changing cups on my desk but it was for an outdoor company that was advertising.
this is clever, great job.
Really cool. I hope they used these in one of those global warming seminars/ Davos or G8...
Funny how many of you see this technic as super new and amazing. It exists so long already. Never had matchbox cars that changed coulours when you put hot or cold water on them? (That was 15 years ago) :)
You'll find all sort of objects with that feature in almost every gift or gadget shop. Many of them are actually cups (cliché ones with women getting naked when you put hot water in the cup...). Not surprised that it would be used for advertising, and especially not for something that has to do with water... let's say... global warming...
