This review had been deleted due to a report of "abuse" by another reader. Typically, there is no argument, just a report to authorities of "abuse", where there is none. Sadly, nowadays, having an opinion that looks at things from a different perspective is reported by the ignorant as abuse. More sadly, those that review the complaint agree with the complainant, again, where there is no "abuse".Visual depiction, things change. There has been more CO2 in the air in the past, the earth survived. There are natural mechanisms that deal with CO2. What natural mechanism deals with the dumping of tons and tons of barium, aluminum, thorium, cadmium, chromium, and nickel in our skies? If you're interested in thinking outside the CO2 box, check out multiple internet sites related to 'chemtrails' or 'geoengineering' that I'm not allowed to cite here.Example: "For more than a decade, first the United States and then Canada's citizens have been subjected to a 24/7/365 day aerosol assault over our heads made of a toxic brew of poisonous heavy metals, chemicals, and other dangerous ingredients. None of this was reported by any mainstream media."Rather, planes (fitted with special nozzles) release aerosols "lines" in the sky that do not evaporate. At first, these lines are thin; but soon they expand and, in a short time, merge together. Our once-blue sky has vanished and has been replaced by a grayish-white toxic haze that blots out and greatly diminishes our usual sunshine.

This movie deserves appreciation because of the humility with which reveals the general nature of the human being. It shows how one person can cover a whole phenomenon driven by the desire to deliver truth to the rest of humanity.The film shows the constant struggle between man and nature, but we are also reminded of their unity and interdependence. There are moments in which nature must be overcome and such in which nature should be helped and supported. Human and natural world are not two different things. They are unified whole.Before our eyes is developing one of the most important philosophical themes - that of the circle of reason and nature. The film is particularly relevant along global conference in Paris devoted to climate change. Without being intrusive, it attracts. With no lavish effects, it has the most beautiful scenes. Without conceived deep intrigue, it sent one of the deepest questions of life in our real daily existence. That is the question about the fate of the future of mankind.It is tribute to photography, to human bravery, to human visionary and to the good part of the human nature.http://vihrenmitevmovies.blogspot.com/

Distilled down, this film is to help convince the world that global warming is not only occurring, but the extent of the warming is being accelerated by man, particularly accelerating the rate at which CO2 and other gases are being added to the Earth's atmosphere. I state that without judging, just to get it out there up-front.James Balog is a National Geographic photographer and in his pursuit of "ice" in general came to a quick realization that glaciers, all over the world, are disappearing at alarming rates, compared to historical rates. His photography projects presented here are supplemented with long standing deep ice core data which show fluctuations in temperatures over the centuries, along with fluctuations in atmospheric CO2 content, as measured in the tiny air bubbles captured in the ice. It is clear in the most recent decades the CO2 levels have increased dramatically, resulting from such processes as burning fossil fuels.All this motivated Balog to devote himself to a very ambitious project, to place dozens of camera rigs in such remote places as Iceland, Greenland, Alaska, and Montana to take time-lapse photos for several years, to provide a visual record of glacier change. The project was not without pitfalls, cameras failing, or being destroyed by falling rocks, and simply Balog's bad knee giving out only to be repaired by repeated surgery.The product of all this, once the technical problems were overcome, is film of these changes in glacier ice in these various places. It is a remarkable achievement, and the 75-minute film documents all this very well and interestingly.I was able to see it on Netflix streaming movies. A nice surprise was actress Scarlett Johansson's deep, sultry vocal rendition of the song during the end credits.

Ever wonder how the Titanic iceberg got there? It's believed it broke off of a specific glacier in Iceland. "Calving" continues, only it's happening at a faster pace than ever before. These days ships aren't the main object of concern -- but rather the survival of everything that needs air to breathe.That's the message of this visually dazzling documentary from National Geographic photographer James Balog. He argues that rising levels of carbon create atmospheric warming that is destroying the world's great ice sheets.Softening, receding glaciers are raising sea levels so rapidly it's believed that 150 million people -- roughly equal to half the population of the United States -- will become displaced this century.Balog presents awe-inspiring pictorial documentation for the shrinkage of ice shelves in Greenland, Iceland, Alaska, and Montana. At one point, we witness a vast and craggy terrain collapsing into a roiling cauldron of ice soup. Balog and his team put their lives at considerable risk to capture such amazing sequences. Part of the interest in this film is the somewhat obsessive personality of Balog, who battles extreme weather conditions to complete this self-imposed task as well as a bum knee that doesn't take well to clambering up ice mountains and rappelling back down.Balog wants the world to know that radical environmental changes are happening as you read this. The time is past, he argues, to debate whether global warming is real.His message is urgent, and everyone should take heed.
