CNN Visualizes Climate Change-Driven Arctic Melt With 360-Degree VR Video (cnn.com)

Posted by BeauHD on Thursday November 30, 2017 @02:05PM from the eye-candy dept.

dryriver writes: CNN has put up a slickly produced and somewhat alarming 360-degree browser video experience that allows the viewer to see firsthand what arctic melt looks like in Greenland. The video takes the viewer to the "Ground Zero" of climate change. Throughout the 7-minute long video, the viewer can interactively look around the locations visited. Voice narration and various scientists featured in the video explain what is happening in the Arctic, what causes the melting, and what the potential consequences are for the world.

Why is /. posting stories from this garbage source? BeauHD is a far-left antifa type methinks.

Nor is the plural of '360-degree browser video experience'.

If the other article I read is correct... by greenwow · 2017-11-30 14:54 · Score: 1, Insightful

they refused to release before and after pics, so this isn't very convincing evidence. It's almost like they're trolling.

  They don't need convincing evidence because they're showing something we already know is a fact. This is like you demanding that they need to show evidence for claiming that Donald Trump is the current president.
  It's almost like they're trolling.
  It's almost like you're an idiot.
  The arctic ice is shrinking. It's been covered many times both here and just about anywhere that covers news. At this point ignorance of the fact (especially as yo're happy to weigh in!) is wilful. Wilful ignorance is stupidity, plain and simple.

'When the external environmental temperature tips above our body temperature we begin to slow cook within our own skin unable to release heat."

That isn't true at all. Otherwise everyone would be dead in summer. Amazingly we have all survived, and people actually live in hot environments before airconditioning existed. I know, hard to believe, but AC didn't always exist and people actually lived in deserts.

It's 36C where I'm sitting right now. Most folks here think this is pretty comfortable. But I guess if the temp goes up one degree this afternoon we're all gonna die??
