  • How fascinating!

  • @TheDirtybomb What high level of carbon in the air co2 is less than 1/2 of 1%

  • Lol, it was snark. I was bashing the deniers.

  • @Giamilton What part of the word 'timelaps' don't you understand?

  • something under the water in the middle of the picture is stopping that curved edge change as the ice melts....interesting.

  • That glacier is moving fast and dumping a lot of natural history in the water at its edge. I would be interesting to take a quick peek with a robotic submersible and see what is piling up on the ocean floor.

  • The earth has its own seasons, there have been atleast 3 ice ages that we know of. Who knows maybe the dinosaures were driving too much.

  • hmmm. I seem to remember a time when glaciers melted before, it's called the natural cycle of the Earths climate change.....go worry about something else.

  • Most solar powered cameras are set to operated for a year.

    On another note, due to the high levels of carbon in the air, the columbia is rapidly dissapearing.

    In another 50 yrs it will no longer exist!

  • I'm sorry, I shall attempt to make my sarcasm more apparent in the future.
