      Tribute to "Ice Journey"

      Compared with "Human Planet"; "Pulsation of the Earth"; "The Year of Migration", etc., and similar works such as "Dolphin Bay", I personally feel that this film is even better!

      1: The impact brought by the glacier is indeed huge. It is not beautiful, but truly magnificent! It belongs to an incredible shock that only you can feel when you are on the scene, and now, you will never be able to experience it again in the future.

      2: Isn’t this the essence of the documentary? It is...

The ingenious workmanship of nature is at this time caused by humans.

", and "Ice Journey" uses these real and shocking recording methods to show us...

China seemed particularly hesitant at the time, and...

      Big business

      I have watched the video of Chai Jing interviewing Academician Ding Zhongli, and I can't let go of these few words for a long time. Ding "If after 2020, China spends 1 trillion yuan every year to buy carbon emission rights, would you not?"
             Ding "According to the G8 plan, how much he took away from the 27 developed countries, with 44% taken away. How much is his population? He has 1.1 billion people, and the remaining 5.5 billion people share 56% of the cake. Then you say fairness...

    Movie quotes

    • James Balog - Photographer: If you had an abscess in your tooth, would you keep going to dentist after dentist until you found a dentist who said, "Ah, don't worry about it. Leave that rotten tooth in"? Or would you pull it out because more of the other dentists told you you had a problem? That's sort of what we're doing with climate change.
