in Antarctica. It will melt. This program does excellent reporting. Catch it on a replay if you can. HBO.
Apologies if this is the wrong place to post this. I am never sure.

However, in the beginning, it looks to be a slow motion apocalypse if we can keep fingers off the various buttons.

I wonder if we've put out so much negative violent energy into the universe, that we've set a path to our own destiny. It's like setting your intention. This is the intention our culture has set. It remains to be seen when and how much materializes.

(6,719 posts)usually on Fri after Bill Baher on my cable menu. It does amazing reporting around the globe. Last week they did a fascinating program on cancer. This week it was the ice melt in the antarctic. They were off for many months, filming new shows. Last year they did programs you do not see anywhere else. I have been really appreciative of their work. Subjects are different each week, so there may be weeks that do not hit a cord with you, or me, smile. But usually I am completely drawn in to the show. Give it a try. This one on the ice melt is really serious for all of us. The program is on HBO so I know not everyone will have access to it. My condo assoc recently got a new cable package and HBO was included so now I can see it. Try!
Maybe it will show up on Netflix or Hulu.

(6,719 posts)I just checked. If you want to see that program re the melting ice in the antarctic -- go to YouTube (free) and type in VICE on the top place where you can ask for what you want. Then when the VICE menu comes up select Our Rising Oceans. You got it!
