  • Photographer James Balog has become one of the foremost chroniclers of human-caused climate change, as his cameras have tracked the dramatic effects - vanishing ice, rising seas, fires, and the toll climate change is taking on all living things. He tells correspondent Ben Tracy that his photos are his testimony, a record of our past and present, and a message for the future.

    What a meaningful film and photographer (human) to still be working on leaving such an important legacy.

    I am 68 years old and I've known about and believed that climate change was real. I don't necessarily worry about my own life, but I am terribly concerned about the lives of my children and what I see in the flora and fauna that surrounds me.
    I hope you can slow the advancement of your cancer, so you can keep documenting what's going on.

    The human effect on Earth isn't something that can be undone or even slowed. It's like driving too fast on black ice.

    Do a piece on Lonnie Thompson grandfather of ice core drilling and analysis. A legend featured in the movie Canary. He worked mountain glaciers which were ignored at the time. His wife Ellen specialized inpolar glaciers.

      What a false argument from an individual blissfully self ignorant of the science. We have a 72yr old house in a cold climate region. Over 10-15 years we went 100% electric replacing broken appliances etc with better more efficient devices. Heat pump water heater, drier, small solar system, used electric cars, lawn equipment, tools, heat pump furnace. So far we've lowered our emissions by 80,000 pounds. We're not wealthy. We fly when needed. Eat less meat. Buy used when we can. We have a good life yet we've lowered emissions significantly. No one wants to move back into caves mam. Yet there's things that can easily be done that can make a difference. Don't be afraid!

    Climate change has been a topic under environmental issues since the 60s and ramped up in the 70s. Many of us have been consciously working on it since then
