Watch five years' of glacier loss in one minute | Intrepid Travel Blog - The JournalTen years ago, the Extreme Ice Survey (EIS) began documenting the disappearance of the world’s glaciers using time-lapse photography. Today, his stunning videos of rapid glacier loss have been recognised…

Time-lapse proof of extreme ice lossPhotographer 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.

Extreme Ice — NOVA | PBSAn acclaimed photographer teams up with scientists to document the runaway melting of arctic glaciers.

10 TED Talks on climate changeWe still have a lot to learn about climate change, about why it's happening and what that means. But one thing is clear: It's real, alright. These talks provide a primer on the issue of our times.

Effect of Climate Change on Animals

Effects of Climate Change | Threats | WWFSea levels are rising and oceans are becoming warmer. Longer, more intense droughts threaten crops, wildlife and freshwater supplies. From polar bears in the Arctic to marine turtles off the coast of Africa, our planet’s diversity of life is at risk from the changing climate. Climate change poses a fundamental threat to the places, species and people’s livelihoods WWF works to protect. To adequately address this crisis we must urgently reduce carbon pollution and prepare for the consequences of global warming, which we are already experiencing. WWF works to: advance policies to fight climate change engage with businesses to reduce carbon emissions help people and nature adapt to a changing climate

9 animals that are feeling the impacts of climate changeAs temperatures rise, sea ice melts and wildfires burn longer, it’s having a dramatic effect on wildlife. Here are 9 species that are already being impacted by climate change.

Accelerating extinction risk from climate changeThere is great interest in understanding how species might respond to our changing climate, but predictions have varied greatly. Urban looked at over 130 studies to identify the level of risk that climate change poses to species and the specific traits and characteristics that contribute to risk (see the Perspective by Hille Ris Lambers). If climate changes proceed as expected, one in six species could face extinction. Several regions, including South America, Australia, and New Zealand, face the greatest risk. Understanding these patterns will help us to prepare for, and hopefully prevent, climate-related loss of biodiversity. Science , this issue p. [571][1]; see also p.
