Video Proof that Climate Change is a Calamity we need to focus on

It is high time for the humans to stop believing that they cannot have any influence on climate or contribute to global warming. Especially when there is a video proof that it is happening.

Up in Greenland which is ironically ice covered, saw the first recording of Calving. Calving is the harrowing process of shedding of large glaciers. Famous environment Photographer James Balog caught this process taking place live on his camera while capturing glacier footage.

For almost 75 minutes, Balog and his crew stood by the glacier and watched ice of size of lower Manhattan melting away. The ice was two to three times taller than the buildings of Manhattan.

Balog said this in 2012 documentary film "Chasing Ice’, "I didn't think that humans were capable of changing the basic physics and chemistry of this entire, huge planet. It didn't seem probable, it didn't seem possible." Balog was one of the skeptics who never believed that global warming could be caused by human interference.

But it wasn't until 2005 that Balog became a believer. He was sent on a photo expedition to the Arctic by National Geographic, and that first northern trip was more than enough to see the damage for himself.

Some of that evidence may have been the fact that more Arctic landmass has melted away in the last 20 years than the previous 10,000 years. Check out the mind numbing and cringing video of a huge Glacier in Greenland melting off in less than 75 minutes.

This video is a short snippet of the 2012 documentary 'Chasing Ice'. It is 2017 and the adversities have increased far more than it actually should have. It is only up to the current policy makers to bring a change for a sustainable and better future.
