Tess Hayward's Response to Chasing Ice
Personally I'm not much of a so called "nature lover", but I became very enthralled watching Chasing Ice in class. It brought to my attention the severity of global warming in our environment. I think a good reason as to why the film was so inspiring is because we got to witness Balog's passion towards the ice. His goal was to make a valid point that climate change is an issue taking place. In my opinion he made this point very clear when we saw all of the effort and stress he put into his research. I loved his approach on the issue of global warming. He didn't shove it in out faces with a bunch of scientific information, instead he decided to use the ice to explain his motives. Most people just view ice as something we see hanging from our rooftops during the winter or something that's used to cool our drinks, but Balog views it as an art. He finds the beauty and character in ice that some of us cannot even see. I thought that Chasing Ice was a very informative film, and I enjoyed watching it.

Tess, I like what you have to say. Maybe art can change us more than politics can. What do you think?
