How so?

Playing devils advocate here, but was that photographer at that very same place 10/20/50 years ago? Perhaps the same exact thing happens there every 50 years. A scientist would come up with ways to find out. A cinematographer, not so much

THAT a cinematographer found it to happen at the very time he was there to film it proves only that it happened at the time he was there to film it

AGAIN ,,, devils advocate

Good points. Perhaps I should qualify my statement. His information is reliable as primary source material. How to evaluate that information in a historical context is for someone else to say. The photographer can record evidence of what is happening in the real world, when that evidence matches up with expected behavior from climate models it becomes part of the overall argument. One big problem I have with the skeptic community is the astounding like of primary data they have.
