  • I see now in Southern California because of the oceans rising they are moving bike paths and road inland now.

  • 3:45 - 3:58

    "But Because these remote Ice fields are tough to reach, they are also hard to monitor. The COMPELLING scientific data comes from sattilite imagary"

    My problem with this is

    1) Ice Depth isn't mentioned in remaining Glacer

    2) Snow fall from clouds comming of Oceans and water sources entering high mountains and causing seasonal floods are not properly identified (Seasonal river assumes no constant flow from Glaciers but seasonal flow from spring melt water)

  • At 3:56 we see an even bigger problem is the data they say must come from satalite imagary has 4 of the 6 dates of glacier coverage that would not have been imaged by satellites! (Goodness one date looks like 1780!!!)

  • Not to mention some people miss the obious

    It's those big white fluffy things over thier heads that rebuilds the icecaps and provides the water

    the Ice sheet is still there yet they can show a dry bed of the river in the summer month when there is less clouds over the Mountains to rain down and create the river....{rollseyes}

  • @TheRealArchAngel I agree that they "miss the obious (sic)"....the climate is changing, as it has for millions of years, surprise, surprise!

  • This video shows the reality as what is happening in the planet. If we don't act now, then its not us but our generations to suffer... We will be giving them more diseases, pollution, nuclear plants, less water to fight for, in legacy.

  • When I told my professors in 1999 and 2002 that shadow finance deregulation under Phil Graham, corporate elitism under Greenspan, and secrecy under Bush would destabilize society they told me that same garbage and called me a leftist wingnut traitor. I had the same answer for them that I have for you, give it some time and wait and see.

  • It will be, and instead of feeling the fear, you should begin to prepare.

  • Exactly,

    Instead of bitching and moaning to get off oil/coal and changing lightbulbs to CFCs the Indian governments should start building extensive aquaducts and aquafers to move water from near the ocean down stream or nearer to the glaciers and highpoints where seasonal water collects pre melt

    Haing a Seawater to freshwater plant make then pump water back inland would be a added benifit

    Of course all that PVC and water moving ttecnology needs oil and coal to make it (smirk)

  • This is the most important story of the generation and the least covered. The entire world economy and future leaders depend on those nuclearized industrial centers in asia. Talk about a collapsing bubble, the world credit fraud bubble pales in comparison. If stories like this one generate enough political will, world leaders can do something this year to mitigate the damages. I hope they get a multimedia pulitzer for this journalism.

  • What you wrote is absolutely true.

  • Great work, David. I be watching for it

  • good info!

  • *****
