James Balog, one of the world’s premier nature photographers, joins Bill Moyers and explains how “the earth is having a fever.” At tremendous risk to his own safety, Balog has been documenting the erosion of glaciers in Switzerland, Greenland, Iceland, and Alaska. In this interview he shares his amazing photos, discoveries, and self-discoveries – including his transformation from climate change skeptic to true believer, and his mission to capture footage of these destructive environmental consequences before it’s too late. Balog’s film, Chasing Ice, is a breathtaking account of climate change in action (yeah, I copied and pasted most of that from the Bill Moyers website – lazy)
