the world i've take people out of the mountains and i show them on the map where the questioner should be and then we stand there and there's no glacier and it's really amazing to them and that's what we have to do is show people climate change not just talk about graphs and the science which is very important but i think we need real in your face this is happening now. the united nations has designated will gather a mountain hero and his task and his passion is to show the world what he sees. he grew up near the athabaskan glacier in northwestern canada that's where he learned to climb through all this was under a pole with 50 or more meters of ice on her where we are right now when i was a kid this has kind of a zinger think of it ice was right here 13 years ago now it's a desert it directly impacts both my profession as a guide and that also impacts my family and just the fact that my kids probably

will not see this in the same way as they are adults they're going to say oh dad remember it was wasn't too far of a hike from the parking lot now the glaciers god. gads outlook is bleak but he while comes the involvement of young activists like gratitude beck who are mobilizing against climate change even so no extreme winter or immediate course of action can stop the glaciers are melting he finds it hard to believe there are still climate change skeptics in abundance. don't think people are going to take climate change seriously until things like hurricanes are ripping through their place or it's just simply too hot to live there and then people get very interested in climate change but i think we're going to have some fairly cataclysmic events before people get to that point. these photographs show how the ice has retreated over the past century. in recent years the process has accelerated.

this has given rise to a new form of tourism for those who believe the climate science you want to experience it for is all gone. climate change and how much it's receded there's just a this is a wonderful resource and and for it to be to dispirit as fast as it is because something when i get up there and then you realize how fast it goes you know it's a shock when we are 70 years old it will be gone so it was until we are on the glacier that we said well it will be gone. so 1st it was a nice site and when we were on it and it was or. what was believed to be eternal ice is melting away we'll gather says it's time to take this seriously everybody. in our environment is changing and just like the animals and their animals here it will affect us this is not some kind of virtue so this is like really straight up that is that is happening i think we're going to howard real problems and we're

going to have real change we better start preparing for that. it's clear to will gather that our planet will look very different 50 years from now. whether future generations can withstand the effects of climate change or be doomed to suffer the consequences of our inaction he says is up to us. south africa have one of the men's rugby world cup in japan the springboks frank a surprise by defeating favorites england 32 to 12 in the final in yokohama sparking celebrations across south africa. all this was the scene in johannesburg as people celebrated the country's 3rd world cup win and there was joy in soweto township where the victory had special significance after sierra khaleesi became the 1st black captain to lift the men's trophy for south africa.
