Fwd: Fri 24 May: Chasing Ice

[Jon Woodlands]

Why not a climate film about what is actually happening with the climate??

Solar scientists, who have the best track record at predicting climatic changes up to the present day are predicting likely catastrophic cooling, not warming, for the century ahead. Wouldn't the Greens be better off informing the community of this, so can prepare?

Curious that the northern hemisphere has been experiencing an extraordinarily cold spring lately. What is the present coverage of ice in the Arctic?  Margaret Thatcher kick-started the whole machine to divert the attention away from her program to build nuclear reactors across the UK. And the global warming industry has snowballed as the world has been getting colder. Plans to dramatically upscale the uranium mining industry are afoot under this current federal government. Interesting that uranium mining expansion is not on Getups list of priorities (nor what Monsanto is up to, for that matter). Indonesia is planning to construct a dozen nuclear reactors across it's volcanic archipelago, but the govt wants us the worry about "climate change".

You need to look at what is actually happening, not what we are being told.

For example, will this film address the fact that the average annual ice pack around Antarctica is 300,000 square kilometres bigger than 30 years ago? Also, if it was warming, that would be a positive thing for life on the planet- you only have to look back at history. So why are we always being told the opposite? And why are we being told it will get warmer, when cooling is far more likely?

All the best,

Jon

SYNOPSIS

In the spring of 2005, acclaimed environmental photographer James Balog headed to the Arctic on a tricky assignment for National Geographic: to capture images to help tell the story of the Earth’s changing climate. Even with a scientific upbringing, Balog had been a skeptic about climate change. But that first trip north opened his eyes to the biggest story in human history and sparked a challenge within him that would put his career and his very well-being at risk.

Chasing Ice is the story of one man’s mission to change the tide of history by gathering undeniable evidence of our changing planet. Within months of that first trip to Iceland, the photographer conceived the boldest expedition of his life: The Extreme Ice Survey. With a band of young adventurers in tow, Balog began deploying revolutionary time-lapse cameras across the brutal
Arctic to capture a multi-year record of the world’s changing glaciers.

As the debate polarizes America and the intensity of natural disasters ramps up globally, Balog finds himself at the end of his tether. Battling untested technology in subzero conditions, he comes face to face with his own mortality. It takes years for Balog to see the fruits of his labor. His hauntingly beautiful videos compress years into seconds and capture ancient mountains of ice in motion as they disappear at a breathtaking rate. Chasing Ice depicts a photographer trying to deliver
evidence and hope to our carbon-powered planet.
