WATCH: 16 years of Arctic ice gone in 59 seconds.

This video is only 59 seconds long.

But its brevity serves as a testament to its truth. Because if something is an indisputable fact, you don’t need to embellish it with fancy graphs and media spin. You can just show it for what it is.

This is a video of the ice of the Arctic melting and refreezing over the past 16 years.

The white stuff is the old ice. The stuff that is supposed to be more resistant to the seasonal melting of the Arctic’s ice caps.

There isn’t a lot of it by the end.

Share this video to let people know that climate change is real.

The earth is pretty old and there has been climate change going on for most of it. A bunch of young people observing changes to the earth in their life time does not mean anything. Will there be a follow up article to the growth in ice at the other end of the planet, you know the Antarctic ice, which I think accounts for 80% of the ice anyway.
Of course I will be deemed a "non-believer" and to be honest I am. Most of the scare theories have been disproved, and ask anyone over 60 their opinion on climate change and they will laugh out loud (before it was initialised). David Suzuki does not count because he makes his living telling us humans how bad we are and how we are ruining the planet. Sorry guys, climate change is a myth, and the earth is 4 billion years old. One volcanic eruption pumps more crap into the atmosphere than any greeny can imagine.

You are absolutely wrong. What qualifications do you have? Do you have any in science? The information you are relaying comes denialist blogs and are repeated by the Bolta for consumption by the illiterate. Most people I know. Over sixty with any level of education definetly believe the climate science.

So you are saying that people actually believe that man made C02 is actually causing apocalyptic climate change, next you will be suggesting that a tax will save us.

Climate change is too important to leave to right wing ignorance. The denialists and kiddies who think its not happening or that God will look after it need to stay at home and play with their toys while the adults address the problem.

We are beyond the point of slowing down climate change. We are too industrialized and have lifted the standard of living to a point that its not maintanable or acheivable for all of us. Every single person would have to give up their cars, stop large scale farming, mining, burning, building - everything, instantly to even help slow it. And even if that happened the poles will still melt. The earths natural state is with dry poles, not frozen ones. We have had 40,000 years of relatively calm climate that has allowed the human race to thrive - which in the large scale of things is not the norm. We are coming out of an ice age and this is bigger than man kind. Sure we've sped it up a fair bit but you cant turn back the clock and you cant stop the inevitable.
