I have a student who lives in France who I teach via Skype. He moved there
because his wife works for a large French tire company and she makes enough
money for him to give up, at least temporarily, his law practice here in
the states. They just came back from their required 4 week per year(!)
vacation, during which they visited Iceland and hiked on a glacier. Turns
out it was the same glacier featured in the recent movie "Chasing Ice",
about the glacier melt.

This man is a very intelligent, moderate, well-spoken individual. His
reaction to his experience was, "our planet is doomed". He seemed sincerely
overwhelmed by this realization. He said, "I don't know if it's 500 years
out or 40 years out, but we're done".

There are more details, but I may not not convey them adequately, so I'll
stop there.
