    Chasing Ice

    by Enviro Activist

    Chasing Ice in addition to being stunningly beautiful is one of the most important environmental films of the decade. It is a must see for anyone concern about their grand children's future.

    Chasing Ice

    by

    The allure of the Titanic natural ice sculptures, the shots of the arctic seascapes, and remote natural environments, recorded by the National Geographic photographer that spearheaded this movie/scientific research project would be enough to make this movie worth seeing. However, it also provides an intimate portrayal of an unusual character, James Balog, a world renowned scientist, who realized that our presently melting glaciers and ice caps are a geographic event with consequences that will reverberate into future centuries. For the first time ever, a momentous geographic event could be visually documented. It became Balog's passion.A very sophisticated system of cameras placed in remote areas of Alaska, Montana, Greenland and the Arctic, produce a dramatic time-lapsed record of these changes over years. Although the voyeuristic urge to watch a tragedy unfold is part of the appeal, the beauty of the photography that records the unfolding drama is breathtaking.

    IMPRESSIVE!

    by nmaclaine

    Amazing photographic record of the accelerating melting of the glaciers. Not only time-lapse over years but some calving events caught real-time in motion. Sit close to the screen.

    A picture tells a thousand words

    by insync

    I had seen Balog's presentation in 2011 - and I knew I had to see the film. Chasing Ice documents without any doubt that humanity's use of fossil fuels is warming our climate. This is a wake up call that we can no longer deny. Tell all your friends and family to see this film and then get active. Sign up with 350.org - and then consider your own addiction to fossil fuels. Think about the impact on the climate every time you get in an airplane. Each flight is equal to an entire year of your carbon footprint! That in itself is shocking. We've got to do it differently from now on. Runaway climate change is upon us. I believe we've already passed the tipping point, which will bring great suffering to mankind. Remember Superstorm Sandy? Be prepared for a climate on steroids. It's going to get much worse.

    The horrible truth is if we don't change our behavior, life as we know it on Earth will cease to exist. The massive die-off's mentioned in the film includes humans (your children).

    This picture is worth a million words!

    by Kayhi

    Warning: if you see this movie you maybe very motivated to actually do something about global warming. My idea of where to start: treat a friend who is a doubter to see this movie.
