CNN Visualizes Climate Change-Driven Arctic Melt With 360-Degree VR Video (cnn.com)
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.
Not sure where they come up with this fiction. Why are they trying to scare our people? SAD!
I can hear the bellyaching already. Did Hillary Clinton put you up to this?
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'.

Waste of time. How much electricity was spent by CNN pumping out garbage about which disgusting celebrity got caught harassing women?
Meanwhile, Fox News is doing a 360 degree VR video of the President's tremendous asshole.
You are welcome on my lawn.
Please add the required #Sarcasm or #MAGA tags to your post so we know what kind of cretin you are.
Thanks.
Climate change is real you dumb Trump loving, know nothing, mother fucking angry white men with no future.
they refused to release before and after pics, so this isn't very convincing evidence. It's almost like they're trolling.
But it's for a good reason! Remember: it's okay when WE do it!
Yawn....

So cnn.com is not accessible for me.
It's intentional. I do the same for other sites of net-negative value. Perhaps in a few years I will give another chance.
Ayup, one day we can farm the northern parts of Russia and Canada and add another 10 billion people to the planet.
I know, hard to believe, but AC didn't always exist
Filthy lies. I am the Alpha and the Omega. The Beginning and the End.

CNN Visualizes Climate Change-Driven Arctic Melt With 360-Degree VR Video
It must have been something you assimilated. . . .
Yup, and the USA will become a desert. If I were an american or a russian I would care a great fucking deal for opposite reasons. All Russia really has to to to destroy the USA is sit back and wait whilst it slowly boils to death, and ocasionally poke the right and remind them that its all an illusion and that they need to hate 'the liberals' some more.
What do you propose we DO that is not already being done?
Seriously, all these climate scare pieces never tell you what should be done, sure reduce CO2 but HOW?
And here is your sacred constraint: any action taken must not have negative economic consequences
I can honestly say I have never before seen a page with this many scripts. I'm not going to waste an hour trying to figure out which ones to enable to see the video.

Bali volcano REVERSE global warming: NASA say Mount Agung could plunge earth into ice age

Give it up CNN...man made global warming isn't true! Man caused global warming (climate change) is NOT REAL. It's a made up term used by morons, trying to bilk wealthy nations out of money, in a form of redistribution. You really want to know what screws up our weather? Go look up the term Maunder Minimum, Dalton Minimum, Modern Maximum (which just ended). The SUNSPOT CYCLE is what impacts weather on Earth, more than man could ever dream of (short of an all out global nuclear war). One good belch from a volcano has more impact on our weather than "man". The modern maximum, with cycle 23 just ended within the past year, but the trend in sunspots has been down, WAY down. There have been many times this past winter & spring, that the Earth facing solar disk has been completely BLANK. NOT ONE sunspot. Sunspots are disturbances on the surface of the sun, magnetic ripples. When one of those lets go a coronal mass ejection (CME), and it is streaming to the Earth, it strikes our magnetic field, and can change weather patterns. There is evidence now from some, stating the positions of Venus & Uranus can also change the suns relationship with regard to spots. In the 1700's, (the Maunder minimum) winters were so cold, the Thames in London, and the Potomac in Maryland FROZE SOLID. We had the modern maximum in the period where people like Algore came up with the idea of "man made global warming". Now, in the past couple of years, after cycle 23, the trend has been for cooler overall temperatures. But, since most people under the age of 30, have been indoctrinated from birth to "save the polar bears" bla bla bla, they will not look at the hard science of what really impacts this little blue ball in space. Boy it’s been fun cruising the liberal blogs watching their collective heads EXPLODE. This man made global warming nonsense needs to be put to rest. THE SUN is what changes our climate. Man couldn’t change it, short of an all out nuclear war, if it wanted to. One belch from a volcano screws up the weather more than man can do. Why don’t you guys start researching the solar sunspot cycles over the last 400 years and then lay the graphic temperatures on top and you will see they are pretty much the same. Cycle 23, just ended, and with it, ended what REAL scientist call the modern maximum (1950's through early 2000's). The trend in the last 9 years has been for less spots on the sun, which results in less geomagnetic disturbances. Those disturbances, in the form of coronal mass ejections (CME’s) hit the magnetic bubble around our planet, and screw with the weather...not man. In all likelyhood we are heading toward a COOLING trend, not a warming trend, but, you’ve been indoctrinated since birth into believing it is all man’s fault, and, in particular, “evil rich white slaveholder men from the imperialist United States”.
And what I never understood is why Canada is as environmentally responsible as it is. The warming affects northern climates more, it would improve thier growing seasons and bring profitable new crops. Admittedly, thier ice roads will cease to work, but what the hell, a few years later after all that melted permafrost vents its methane, there won't be as much swamp and you could put real roads in. It amazes me Canada isn't doing more to make Canada first.

I didn't see one person in the video cutting their carbon emissions. So, it is okay for them but not okay for everyone else. When I start seeing the stupid people making these videos cutting their carbon footprint, then I might start taking action.
I bet good money everyone making that video is still driving their car to work. I put more miles on my bicycle a year than I do my car. AND I've been doing it for 4 years now.
So again, I'm calling Bullshit.
If you wish to prove a point, claiming "I already did!'" is not evidence. Global warming is happening, but you must be consistent and not lie to convince others. 2017 arctic ice is within historical norms unless very, very careful selection of beginning and ending years to start at peaks (1972, 1981, 1996, 2008) and end in valleys (1985, 1995, 2007, 2013, 2016).
I agree with your points that it's important to be careful with data, but no, at the moment it looks like Arctic ice is significantly lower than historical norms. Here's the graph as of last month: http://nsidc.org/arcticseaicen...
Interactive chart is here: https://nsidc.org/arcticseaice...
If you want total volume, and not coverage, the best data is from the NASA GRACE mission (measuring gravity). That mission is now over. But here's data: http://polarportal.dk/en/groen... , and here's a visualization through 2014: https://gracefo.jpl.nasa.gov/r...

Sure, you are making a video about the effects of climate change. So let's burn more fossil fuels hauling this useless reporter to the middle of nowhere so she can chatter with a condescending tone on video. Or some of these people could put their money where their mouth is and stop driving, Rent a $3000 a month studio near where they work, and make sure they always turn out the lights when they leave a room. Instead they drive SUV's live 30 miles or more from where they work, and probably leave all the lights on when they leave the house. Yeah climate change is happening. But until people wake up and stop making polluting the atmosphere profitable, this will continue to happen. Stop buying a new iPhone every year, Stop driving gas inefficient vehicles to work unless there is a reason to (contractors, truck drivers).
It's really an impressive piece of software. In skilled hands it can fool just about anyone.
An animated video with no basis in reality does not constitute scientific evidence. Especially from CNN which has demonstrated a long history of deceiving the public.

You're actually criticising them for opting not to exercise their first amendment rights? The whattaboutery is particularly dense in this one
No, the chart gave the average from 1981 to 2010, and also the the two standard deviation error bar. This is an example of how to do statistics right: compare to averages, show standard deviations, and link to the data.
And 1981 is not "a peak"-- in fact, if you look at the data (I assume you didn't), it is pretty much identical to 1979, 1980, 1982, or 1983.

Let that be a lesson to you, maybe Canadians aren't as evil as you.
