Glacier Melting Changes the Earth's Gravity
Yes, collectively humanity weighs 316 million tons ( 287 metric tons). Each year for three years, the glacial melt was 204 billion tons (185 metric tons). Can you feel the shift?

Chasing Ice Calving
The film Chasing Ice was in Denver Nov. 2012. It's not showing anywhere near here, at the moment. So, we can watch the calving of the Ilulissat Glacier in Western Greenland, to comprehend the magnitude of glacier melting. The glacier is not frozen in time any more! Watch about 3 min. in to see a surprise emerge.
My plan is to host a screening mid 2013. You can too. http://www.chasingice.com/
Antarctic Glacier Retreat
This is the theme for the week- ice melting! I'm grateful to have seen a
portion of Antarctica. Everything I see now, is amazing in the context
of what it was like 70 to 100 years ago. The hardships people endured
to see it! Here's another look at the melting.
