well we thought the proper conditions only existed over the antarctic and the arctic.d the climate with the much greater climate focus than a chemistry focus. in the process of tracking down the structure of clouds over the united states that form very thin cirrus that trap infrared radiation, we discovered to our dismay and to our shock these storms were injecting water vapor deep in the stratosphere over the summer. that means that the conditions of water and temperature that execute the reactions that convert inorganic chlorine to the reactive form that attacks ozone can occur anywhere in the globe if those conditions are satisfied. these direct measurements demonstrated that, indeed the storms were injecting water to a very high altitude and they satisfied the conditions of water and temperature. so this opens up the direct possibility of destroying ozone not over the arctic and the antarctic in the winter but in the summer. >> eliot: those are of increased frequency was of global warming. and that last condition and step i gather those storms that push the moistur

general ideas water they keep going to the arctic to make protests and i think they want to hoard the fact that the world is actually cooling and that it's completely against what their claims are read by warming point out things like this less oil and more scattered in the policy of the region. in the sort relation changes for example in the arctic now there is actually some you know very interesting low pressure systems which are. they are you know distributing the oil dispersant yars which. is all part of a circulation challenge of the jet stream is moving for the saarc which is i saw a new global cooling moving towards a little large site so the point i want to make about the protests which are always connected with global warming is they're pointing the world in the war direction mr corben now i don't mean to interrupt you but the activists do say that they have enough supplies to hang on in there for several days how do you see the situation developing. well really. i mean if you think they're getting in the why of all exploration they ought to be removed peacefully. that's all

fear the ice could disappear from the arctic sea completely in the summer months. >> reporter: the arcticing much faster than the rest of the planet. largely thanks to the melting of ice on the sea. ice reflects sun light, so every bit that disappears allows the sun's rays to heat the dark ocean beneath it. from 1979, nasa satellites have tracked the shrinking of summer ice. it fluctuates from year to year, but the trend is clearly downward. and this year's ice will be the smallest yet. >> in the recent years we have seen the shrinkage, the minimum is getting smaller and smaller. >> reporter: so what's caused the rapid warming of the arctic? a recent paper from reading university suggests 30% of it is due to the atlantic oscillation, a natural cycle repeating every 65 to 80 years. it has been in a warm phase since the 1970s. but the same paper calculates that human activity has caused 70% of the warming. pollution from our cars, our homes, and our factories. oil and gas firms are racing to profit from the shrinking ice. the russian giant battled with green peace. arctic shipping will also

shifts should there be how many propellers for this boat the academic which is currently used and arctic expedition is only one shaft and one propeller and basically it has proved to be reliable boat. another advantage of a single propeller vessel that requires less power when sailing in the open water and consequently it consumes you during that time. but for instance when a boat has to break through ice it requires less power than a single shaft one which is kind of surprising but the main advantage we do you have to beso both sure missed have some sort of backup in be highly reliable to get there with a client who decided to build boat. but as any good builder knows plans on paper one thing making those a reality is a totally different affair and even. before thinking about the first academic a series of tests had to be run here at the cradle of shipbuilding research institutes testing pools the pool complex is an important part of what higher is one of the largest experimental stations in the world along the length of the institute a one hundred sixty one pool was used to test the wo
