About The Images used in this video :
Planet Earth -- in motion.

Time lapse ice flows over the Arctic, billowing storm clouds over the Caribbean and beautiful blooming algae off the west coast of Southern Africa.

BDH's meticulous work involved stitching many high resolution photographs from NASA, to create these real images within our computers. Other work involved the planning and steadying of many time-lapse sequences and the sensitive matching of atmospheric effects.
Planet Earth is an 11 part series and the world's first television series produced nearly entirely on HD. BDH worked in collaboration with the production team for over 4 years on these breathtaking hi-resolution images.

the whole world had the choice to ban hunting and trading in polar bears, elephants and blue fin tuna and they all failed and yet they can force in cap and trade making a commodity out of thin air this all about control and money. they dont care about mother nature people are naive if they think so big business controls governments its all farce and all the lemmings are following to the cliff
