Climate Science in Action
From researching the pace of Alaskan glacier melt to how changes in Arctic sea ice affect our weather, climate scientists go to some of the most remote areas on Earth to help us understand our environment.
The Juneau Icefield Research Program (JIRP) brings scientists and students together annually to study glaciers. Jeff Barbee reports on the 2013 JIRP expedition. Julienne Stroeve of the National Snow and Ice Data Center looks at the impact changes in Arctic sea ice may have on weather patterns. Michael Mann on what we might expect to see happen to sea levels, if we continue burning fossil fuels at current levels.

Climate IS change. And the attempt to prove otherwise is anything but
science. A religion.
The more climate changes the more it stays the same.
Change is climate’s green fuel.
I can’t believe some people only need to wear a t-shirt
So all these students of ‘Climate Change’ obviously believe in it, right?
So they would like some data to support their theory against those who
‘deny’ it, i.e. people who actually want to go through the scientific
process? And they are the ones gathering some of the ‘data’ that is being
used to support the ‘climate change theory’? Isn’t that a bit like letting
the Soviets gather data on German concentration camps? I mean, there is a
political agenda and a belief system to be supported so there must be a
massive temptation to ‘massage’ the data.
