Moving Picture of Climate Change

James Balog's extraordinary photographs are a window on the world's endangered wildlife, melting glaciers and disappearing landscapes. In his latest project, Balog focuses on melting glaciers. In 2006 he founded the Extreme Ice Survey and serves as its executive director. The nonprofit has deployed 39 cameras on 17 glaciers in Alaska, Greenland, Iceland and the Rocky Mountains that take pictures hourly during daylight hours. What's emerged from the approximately 4,500 photos from every camera each year is a moving picture of climate change.

@GWR4079 I agree, Personal i think its the sun who have changed its life cyclus, and it actually do that once in a while.. But since we only have started to register such things recently then we do not understand the big picture.. Planet earth ect. have always changed and we just have to accept it and live with it.. But its okay we start to think about polution ect. but its not what is doing this its something els we do not fully understand.
