Whether it's rising sea levels, desertification, torrential monsoons, melting glaciers or ocean acidification, climate change is rapidly altering the landscape of our planet. We may be one of the last generations to see some of the Earth's most cherished places. Here's our list of 10 places to see before they vanish. (Text: Bryan Nelson)

Great list, maybe one day we may be able to add them to our list of 100 places to visit before you die.
I just can not imagine with strong your blog greatly that warned me! Thank you “Life is not divided into semesters. You don’t get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself.” - Bill Gates
The pictures are beautiful, the statements of climate change as fact are hardly credible. There is no consensus as to the cause of global warming.
Fact: CO2 levels have been much higher than today on several ocassions in earth's past, and warmer temperatures prevailed without man's influence. The greatest possibility is that we in a warming cycle prior to an ice age. Most commenters on this website are more interested in blaming the U.S. for all of the worlds woes.
There is one area.... More
If we'd all stop arguing over whether it is climate change or global warming and focus on the fact that we should no matter what, care for Earth. c'mon now. Respect the place WE ALL live. It seems like Earth is becoming more and more like living with that roommate you dont really care for, cuz they are sloppy. and no matter how hard you try to keep the house clean, that roommate just messes it up.
hmm seems like most of us humans need a slap of respect in the face. just sayin.
Thank you for posting this. This is an eye-opener.
Glad you liked it!
very nice picture
Wow, its really nice picture. it make me start to visit this place. i never think there are such a nice place. thank you very much for posting a great picture

It's a nice photo. I feel like i want to go inside that picture and see whats down the other side.
How can someone not believe after seeing these pics? It's mind altering how fast the Earth is changing!
...that such an argument like "there's snow where you live, so climate change isn't real. ok." was used here. Anyway, my argument to that is the polar ice in the arctic is getting smaller, glaciers are retreating, perhaps due to global temperatures getting warmer, so climate change is real, ok.
all i know is becoming more energy and environmentally efficient and safe couldnt hurt the planet right? so whats wrong with cleaning up our act?
very nice picture. thanks for sharing
Best regard

I HAVE COME TO SAY 2 THINGS
1) GLOBAL WARMING CAUSED BY HUMANS HAS NOT BEEN PROVEN.
2) GLOBAL WARMING HAS INDEED BEEN PROVEN.
the cause of global warming is irrelevant to the point of this article, s*** will still go bye-bye. Stop arguing about semantics.
Regardless of who, or how many, believe that global warming is a real and measurable consequence of burning fossil fuels and farming cows (think methane output), there will always be those who think that man's overuse of the planet carries with it no consequence at all. The oceanic overfishing is a myth, GMO grains and seeds are not harmful to the ecosystem, carbon dioxide is not worth our attention, etc., etc.
Tell me, somebody, please! -- How do we get the deaf, dumb, and blind to.... More
So does this mean that the oil leak in the gulf is not true, and it will not harm the wildlife,fish, or human,, and the answer is not every body is deaf,dumb,and blind,,,,just the people who destroy everything they think is for them only..
Every item here will disappear because of global warming. Hmm. I'm still waiting on true SCIENTIFIC consensus that human activity is behind it.
That you are American. You will not relinquish your lifestyle regardless of its negative effect on the environment, but you won't have to, China and India are going to take it from you.
what link is required here? you are looking for a link between global warming and man. whether caused by man or not global warming will change the current equilibrium.
I'm guessing if you haven't found "true scientific consensus" you haven't been looking very hard. They have proved it's to do with burning fossil fuels. You can measure the atmospheric composition of carbon in a number of different ways (tree ring data, bubbles in ice cores, etc). There are 2 main isotopes (have different numbers of neutrons) of carbon - C12 and C13. Now life processes like C12 better because it's smaller so they selectively use it to build organic matter, therefore fossil fuel.... More
http://z4.invisionfree.com/Popular_Technology/index.php?showtopic=2050 over a thousand articles , saying there is no consensus on AGW by ACTUAL scientists not those morons on the IPCC
You call the IPCC morons and then you post a link where the IPCC is quoted as discrediting Global Warming ???
Maybe you better allow the grown ups to talk now and go play with your ATV. Hopefully you'll run it into a tree and damage your brain again...
You ignorant, imbecile ! This ridiculous, right wing blog is hardly a good counter argument to the excellent comments supporting Global warming.
Really? I mean REALLY?
If you paid attention, you would see it for yourself. But go on believing what you want instead of what TRUE SCIENTIFIC evidence is telling you. Dont' bother to look into it yourself, just keep reading your far right propaganda. It's what makes you what you are. A fool.
Since you write in BOLD, and repeat whatever big media tells you, he is the ignorant one. Sure.
Pay attention? To what? I've seen so much snow as I recall in the 70s!
You are the one talking about propaganda. Right.
Try spell checking if the big words like"the" are still tough for you...
There's snow where you live, so climate change isn't real. ok.
The quote unquote true scientific evidence is that the Earth has always gone into periods of cooling as well as periods of heating, it's natural and cyclical, they can tell from core samples which hold ancient atmosphere trapped in air pockets in the ice, etc. I'm fairly certain whatever your stance you should realize that no matter if humans are causing the Earth to melt, we should regardless hope to improve our air quality and stop pollution for the effects not only on ecological systems,....

As Ben suggests, it is true that throughout the ancient history of the planet that it has experienced periods of warming and cooling; I do not dispute this. However, with refernec to the last time this occured....there wasn't 6 BILLION people living on the planet. So regardless of time, geography or socioeconomics...people's health WILL suffer greatly and likely irreversibly as a result of a warmer global temperature and the irresponsibility of the human race and our actions. Our current.... More
Nicely put Adam. I don't believe all the global warming propaganda, as much of it is distorted science, but can only applaud any effort made improve the environment or at least slow down the decay.
The far left has propaganda too, and it is essentially just as foolish.
if all the rich Westeners don't tramp over them
Look to China if you want to see unrestrained abuse of the environment. China generates dust clouds from agricultural abuses that reach the USA. Their rivers are little more than toxic sludge at this point and their culture is responsible for poaching throughout the world -tiger penis, bear gall bladders, white rhino horn. What do they care - their own citizens are abused, brainwashed and die by the 1000s every years from neglect, toxic living conditions and dangerous working environments. So,.... More
I'm with you on this. I was talking about the tourists.
It's by the Flickr user "Stuck in Customs":

It says "Glacier National Park" for picture 2. To get a copy, click on "ALL SIZES" and then "Download the Large size" in Flickr:

or

Sorry I can't find picture 1, but they should have credited the photographer, not just Flickr, in any case, as the photographs hold the rights and Flickr just hosts
for locating that photo for us!
The first photo and the second photo are from the same place--Glacier. How to get a copy--you're on your own for that. Happy new year--
alberto
How can I obtain a copy ofthe first picture which is a sunrise? And where
is it taken? Thanks
...but sad to see these photos & to think that it may be destroyed...
Who wants to risk all these natural wonders disappearing. Not me.
