Climate Change Confusion

            The other day I watched a documentary about glaciers that reminded me of Ishmael. This documentary was called Chasing Ice and it was very frightening. The film crew travelled around the globe placing time lapse cameras and pointing them towards major glaciers. These cameras were left there for something like three years and at the end of these three years the footage was reviewed. What was found didn’t really surprise me, most of these glaciers had melted but the degree to which the melt had occurred was very shocking. To see the sheer size of the glaciers that were melting on a very human time scale was scary. This documentary did a great job of just displaying evidence in a digestible manner. The curious part about this was that it entirely convinced me that drastic action was necessary in order to effectively combat climate change. Ishmael had solicited the opposite response in me and I still don’t quite understand why. I don’t know where I stand now on the issue now.
