Glaciers Are Disappearing Almost As Fast As You Can Ski Down Them | Climate Games

I liked the production quality of the video, but I think you missed a chance to make the video really informative and impactful.

1. Comparing the time it takes somebody to ski down a glacier and how long it takes the meltwater to fill an olympic size swimming pool doesn't make sense at all. How are these two related? If he had taken the miniwing in the first place he would have made in 10 or 15 minutes max. This doesn't illustrate anything, it is no useful information, it just distracts from the urgency of the situation. Now I just want to head over to Red Bull and watch more alpine action sports videos..

2. Flying a helicopter is setting a very bad example how people should act right now. Or did you compensate the carbon emissions caused by this video production? Of course not everybody watching the video will book a heli skiing trip immediately. But if we want to slow down climate change we have to minimize emissions of green house gasses, so as few flights as possible, driving cars only if there no other option, stop eating meat, etc..

3. Technically we are still in an ice age, admittedly at the very end of one, but as long as there is at least one polar ice cap is it called ice age. Therefore why not use the proper terms glacial and interglacial period? If we want to take this seriously we should at least be precise when we talk about the things we know for sure. There are still so many questions about climate change to ne answered because it is just incredibly complex, so mixing up terms just adds to the confusion what is really going on here. And as we can do something about climate change we should be aware of the fact that we are trying to preserve a 34 million year old ice age (the cenozoic ice age)!

And most importantly:
4. Next time you want to make us aware of rising sea levels, why not visit some places where people already have to leave their homes and actually move to a different country because of those rising sea levels? Like Kiribati for example: the government buys land on Fiji so people have some place to go - until Kirobati disappears somewhen between 2060 and 2070. People have move 2000 kms or more in order not to drown in the sea!! And you are talking about skiing and olympic swimming pools??
