I had seen the TED talk (link in Greg’s blog article). Anyone who thinks that climate change is just an intellectual exercise should see James Balog’s time lapse cinematography. It is beautiful and terrifying.
Everyone who travels in the mountains around here knows that all of the local glaciers are in retreat. It is stunning to see the retreat in time lapse, and also discover that it is not local, it is global.
