the frozen antarctic.a ice has not suffered to the same degree as its northern counterpart. but even so, national snow and ice data centre scientists say that antarctic sea ice shrank november low. if you start removing the reflective sea ice cover than the ocean absorbs the heat instead. so what you see and instead now as winter comes, the arctic is very one, part about this because now the ocean has to release heat again during the summer, back to the atmosphere before the ice can form. the frozen antarctic. records here show that sea ice has not suffered to the same degree as its northern counterpart. but even so, national snow and ice data centre scientists say that antarctic sea ice shrank november low. a warming world does not mean the end of winter weather. in the usa in december, snow and ice caused damage and brought disruption to millions of people. then there is the occasional wintery surprise. such is here in tokyo. which had its first november snowfall in more than half a century. and this, fr

if you imagine you're on the surface of the antarctic ice sheet, it's you're on the surface of the antarctic starts to snow. this snow contains information from our atmosphere and in antarctica, the snow simply builds up through time in layers and it never belts. so we can then go and drill that ice to see all of that climate information from the past. you recover 2—3 metres of ice core on each run and bring it to the surface and then send the drill down again for the next 2—3 metres. when theice again for the next 2—3 metres. when the ice cores are brought to the surface, the ice core itself is sectioned into pieces. we measure chemicals in the ice itself and we measure chemicals in the air that's trapped athe snow flakes. we record a number of climate parameters, temperature, carbon dioxide, solar activity and volcanic activity, because understanding how the climate behaves naturally in the pastis climate behaves naturally in the past is the key to modelling our future. working in these environments can be pretty extreme. after all, antarctica is the harshest place on earth. but in the end

observing and measuring a decrease in the amount of ice in the greenland ice sheet and the west antarctic ice sheet. now, the climate models have predicted that we shouldn't see that for many decades to come, and the key distinction here is if it's a land ice sheet, a land-based ice sheet, then when it melts, it actually contributes to global sea level rise. that's not the case for sea ice, but it is the case for the continental ice sheets, so the fact that we're already measuring losses of ice from these major continental ice sheets means that they're contributing to sea level rise faster, once again, than climate scicientistprojojected ththem t. there's a credible body of work now that suggests that if we continue witith business-as-usul fossil fuel emissions, than by the end of this century, we could see as much as two meters, 6 feet of global sea level rise. now, that would be catastrophic for many coastal regions. for the u.s. east coast and gulf coast, island nations around the world, some of which will literally be submerged by that amount of sea level rise. the ipcc makes a far mo
