James Balog: Time-lapse proof of extreme ice loss

Photographer James Balog was a sceptic, he thought up till 10 years ago that global warming and climate change was all based on computer models. That is until he began photo recording the North Atlantic ice sheets, when he realized that ice is the canary in the global coal mine.


Here in this TED presentation James Balog shares new image sequences from the Extreme Ice Survey, a network of time-lapse cameras recording glaciers  receding at an alarming rate, some of the most vivid evidence yet of climate change.
