You are doing "God's work" and are to be commended!



Best wishes!

James Balog Produces 1,000,000 Words with Time-Lapse Proof of Extreme Ice Loss

Incredibly, the issue of climate change is still being debated in some corners. In fact, all one has to do is read many of the comments associated with TED and YouTube videos, like the one embedded below, to get a sense of how powerful denial, linked with ignorance, can be.

James Balog is right! What we have is a perception problem.

Interestingly, it seems that many students, academics, and national leaders (worldwide - on the whole) understand the urgency of the problem we are now faced with.

The question is:

Watch this TED talk/video by James Balog entitled James Balog: Time-lapse proof of extreme ice loss. See for yourself if the images he shares aren't worth at least 1,000,000 words!
