Can you guess what’s missing from this breathless HuffPo screed?
Sometimes people question whether or not Climate Change is real. After viewing the feature documentary, Chasing Ice, I can assure you that the debate is over. On Monday, January 23, 2012 –Chasing Ice, had its world premiere at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival featuring documentary director Jeff Orlowski and his Academy Awarding winning production team led by Paula DuPré Pesmen, producer of the 2010 Academy Award®-winning The Cove, and writer Mark Monroe (The Cove, The Tillman Story).
Acclaimed National Geographic photographer James Balog was once a skeptic about climate change but through his Extreme Ice Survey, he discovers undeniable evidence about our global warming planet. In Chasing Ice, Balog deploys revolutionary time-lapse cameras to capture a multi-year record of the world’s changing glaciers. The film features hauntingly beautiful, multi-year time-lapse videos of vanishing glaciers, while delivering fragile hope to our carbon-powered planet.
I’m shocked? A few surveyed and filmed glaciers melted? That’s never happened before…huh? They have melted? NY City was covered by a mile high glacier not so long ago in Earth’s history? Dude!
What about the glaciers that grew? But, then, that’s not really the point: this in no way proves anthropogenic global warming. It simply proves that the climate changes, and that we’re currently in a warm cycle.
