Farewell Vanishing Glaciers -Global Warming Anchorage Alaska

Thom Gaylord's glacier photos tell a story, in pictures, about Alaska's beautiful but dwindling glaciers. These photos, along with a brief in-flight helicopter movie, were taken in June 2006. The rapid retreat of glaciers throughout the world is an undeniable observation, and that human activities are the major reason for this is a scientific fact. The world needs to move away from speculation and start taking steps to prevent even more devastation to the planet's life. Think of the children. Help stop global warming and save our planet.

As reported in the NY Times, Jan 28 2011: "Arctic Waters Warmer Than in 2,000 Years". Thomas Marchitto, a paleoclimatologist at the University of Colorado, Boulder, and a co-author of the study stated: “It doesn’t necessarily prove that the change that we see is man-made, but it does strongly point toward this being an unusual event,” Dr. Marchitto said. “On a scale of 2,000 years, it stands out dramatically as something that does not look natural.”

"For years, the vast majority of the scientific community have agreed that mankind is responsible for global warming. Lomborg, a Danish professor, was one a rare breed of scientist that dismissed this consensus, thus serving as a convenient source whom other skeptics, including prominent American businessmen, could point too for added validity. "

"NOAA recently reported that the decade of 2000-2009 was the warmest on record worldwide; the previous warmest decade was the 1990s. Most atmospheric scientists believe that warming is largely due to human actions, adding gases to the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels such as coal and natural gas."
