Google Earth Timelapse 1984-present

Pretty incredible piece over at Time. Google earth timelapse. Jon Woods is the executive producer of the piece that unveils the project on Time and he is an acquaintance of mine that used to live here in town and comes back now and then to barefoot waterski with us. Super cool guy. He took the picture linked in my profile back when he worked for the local rag.

Why go so far. Just check out the Great Salt Lake or little Rush Lake South of it.

Rainforest disappearing. We are removing the lungs of our finite home.

The Arctic sea ice time lapses are just as dramatic.

Well we need water for our crops and it has to come from somewhere.... So consume less or drain earth's resources.
