Four new images by the elusive street artist Banksy have surfaced over the weekend, with one seemingly attacking global warming sceptics.

It found the first beneath Camden Street Bridge - "almost in the back yard of the British Transport Police building".
The second and third pieces were etched under and next to the Oval Road Bridge in the direction of Primrose Hill.
The most provocative simply has the words: “I don’t believe in global warming”, with the writing gradually disappearing into a canal.

Another shows a man rolling a graffiti-covered advertisement.
The third has a young boy fishing a dripping ‘Bansky’ tag out of a polluted canal.
Bansky’s artworks use spray paint and stencils and are often satirical in nature

There is debate over his identity as he shuns media exposure, preferring to remain anonymous.
This has only added to Banksy's iconic status as one of the world's greatest street artists.
Some of his pieces have gone for over £50,000 at auction but apparently he has never profited from the sale of any of his works.
