"Coolest" NASA video ever
NASA has produced a remarkable video animation of data from Earth-observing satellites that have been monitoring the globe's "cryosphere," especially the polar ice.
You can link to it here. And here is a link to a whole bunch of nifty NASA multimedia stuff.
Also, a study funded by the National Science Foundation has found more evidence that it is the human factor, and not natural cycles, that are behind accelerating polar warming.
In fact, the arctic would likely still be in a 2,000-year-long cooling cycle if it weren't for human activity, the study found. You can read more about that here.
Comments
When I hear all the climate change denial coming from the right wing and then read articles such as linked here, I just cannot understand their relentless refusal to face this. We should be way past that sort of thing by now. It's like standing on a bridge while people argue over whether or not it is about to collapse--if the engineers say it is, shore it up for now and start to get it fixed!
