James Balog, Chasing Ice and finding Extreme Ice loss

Besides arguing with Republicans (and their libertarian pals) who are in denial and struggling to bring a little self skepticism and real science into their economic/politically blinkered world-views.  

My other self appointed goal is to help broadcast authoritative educational material.  In keeping with that mission, here is a collection of excellent YouTube videos concerning James Balog's amazing ongoing mission to photograph melting glaciers throughout the world.

Using time lapse photography in some of the most hostile locations on Earth James Balog along with documentarian Jeff Orlowski and a host of further development and support team members have put together an astounding record.

If seeing is believing these videos and James' project will make an impact on anyone who gives them a serious objective viewing.

Jeff Orlowski - Behind the Scenes of "Chasing Ice", Talks at Google

AtGoogleTalks  |  Feb 4, 2013  |  52:21

The award-winning director of "Chasing Ice" talks about his experiences in the making of the film on the Google campus.

In 2007, Jeff Orlowski got his first taste of the Arctic when as a Stanford student he seized an opportunity to work as a videographer with National Geographic photographer James Balog on the initial expedition of The Extreme Ice Survey (EIS). That winter, the EIS team scouted and filmed glaciers that now appear in the documentary feature film Chasing Ice.

The San Francisco Bay Guardian says about this film:
"Even wild-eyed neocons might reconsider their declarations that global warming is a hoax after seeing the work of photographer James Balog, whose images of shrinking glaciers offer startling proof that our planet is indeed being ravaged by climate change (and it's getting exponentially worse)."

AGU Science Policy Conference 2013: Preparing for Our Future

AGUvideos  |  Jun 26, 2013  |  1:31:59

Richard Harris, Science Correspondent, National Public Radio
James Balog, Founder/Director, Extreme Ice Survey

As global temperatures and sea levels continue to rise, the urgency to address a shifting climate -- both in the United States and around the world -- becomes imperative. Join us for a conversation with AGU Presidential Citation for Science and Society award winners James Balog, founder of the Extreme Ice Survey, and Richard Harris, science correspondent for National Public Radio. 

They will discuss how a changing climate is already impacting our world, and what is expected in the future. Their conversation will be punctuated by footage of Balog's Extreme Ice Survey, which documents the extraordinary retreat of glaciers in the Northern Hemisphere with captivating imagery.
