    The video is amazing. I was making a snarky comment about climate deniers still wanting to insist the world isn't warming.

    It's got to take balls of steel to sit on that ship knowing one helluva wave
    is about to knock you around in icy water.

    Chunks of ice will calve from glaciers whether or not there's climate
    change ...

    "When President Taft created Glacier National Park in 1910, it was
    home to an estimated 150 glaciers. Since then the number has decreased
    to fewer than 30, and most of those remaining have shrunk in area by two-thirds. Fagre predicts that within 30 years most if not all of the
    park's namesake glaciers will disappear."

    "Things that normally happen in geologic time are happening during the
    span of a human lifetime," says Fagre. "It's like watching the Statue
    of Liberty melt."

    Canada's last intact ice shelf collapses into the sea

    The Milne ice shelf, Canada's last fully intact shelf at the northern
    tip of Nunavut, has become another casualty of climate change, after
    it collapsed into the sea last week - losing nearly half of its size.

    Heather Yourex-West explains why researchers say the loss should act
    as a wake-up call.
