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.
