just four years to build and now it�*s spending three days in london before its first voyage to antarctica to the welfare of the world. this is a state—of—the—art research ship, and here on the top deck is the helipad so scientists and the crew can be brought to and from the ship while she�*s at sea. in here, you have the living quarters — a cosy cabin for two — because the crew on here can stay on board for two months at a time. there�*s room for 30 crew and 60 scientists on the ship. and this is the all—important coffee shop — where, after a hard day of polar research, the crew can come in and take a bit of a break. this big hole in the middle of the ship goes all the way from the sea up to here. it�*s called a moon pool, and it means that scientists can access the ocean with their instruments, whatever the weather. the moon pool is really significant because it means we can get these really valuable data points. the southern ocean is one of these places that we don�*t have very many observations from because it�*s so difficult to get there. and the southern ocean might feel really far a

and there was no some on antarctica, told it was covered by trees on the beautiful pe swipe. but since 55000000 years ago, essentially the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has been coming down and down gradually getting low up and, and is becoming colder. as a consequence of that, i had about 14000000 years ago and tanaka separated from south america and got encapsulated by a very strong ocean current that wraps itself around the continents and isolate sit climatic lee from the rest of the world, put it into the really deep freeze and since 14000000 years ago, essentially we've had a persistent, deep, thick ice cover, ice cover and tanika. now, recently we talk about georgia will time, and the reason that is important to us is because, as i said previously, the last time we had 400 parts per 1000000 of carbon dioxide was 5000000 years ago . if we keep a mixing fossil fuels in the way that we're currently doing it, by the end of this century, 2100. the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will be a 1000 parts per 1000000 that we wouldn't have seen by level of car

( laughter ) >> trevor: richard, before i let you go, you have a disposition as a person where, you know, if someone met you today they would be what a jolly, determined guy, what a driven guy. but you've had to heal a a lot f pain, you've had to deal with so many of the things in your life. the story with your mom in the book is really one that's sad but ends in a place of deep love. what has richard done to get over them and heal himself. >> first of all, i'm thankful for the village that helped me, every friend, teacher, mentor, even my mom was a hero. she sacrificed me so i can have a better life. i'm always thankful for that. i have a belief that the best thing

for me, it began with a descent into antarctica.getting down into the ice and drilling into it that scientists are able to build up a picture of the greenhouse gases that have been building up in our atmosphere. they find bubbles like this, trapped in the ice, and analyse the air inside them. the ice holds a record of the climate, trapping carbon dioxide year after year, so we can see how it has risen and fallen. at the next step is working out our role in that — the human fingerprint on global warming — and that involves more recent data. getting to it took a long journey to hawaii, and up an old volcano. at the summit lies a forest of instruments. one of them has measured carbon dioxide since 1958, by coincidence, that�*s the year i was born. so during my lifetime, levels of this key gas have just kept on rising. the most striking thing that i see on c02 since 1958 is that the concentration in the atmosphere has gone up every single year. so where would this leave us? the early computer models couldn�*t be sure. there were lots of

now it's getting ready for its first voyage to antarctica. from the ship while she's at sea. in here, you have the living quarters — a cosy cabin for two — because the crew on here can stay on board for two months at a time. there's room for 30 crew and 60 scientists on the ship. and this is the all—important coffee shop — where, after a hard day of polar research, the crew can come in and take a bit of a break. this big hole in the middle of the ship goes all the way from the sea up to here. it's called a moon pool, and it means that scientists can access the ocean with their instruments, whatever the weather. the moon pool is really significant because it means we can get these really valuable data points. the southern ocean is one of these places that we don't have very many observations from because it's so difficult to get there. and the southern ocean might feel really far away from us here in the uk, but it's really important for our climate as a whole. it takes up a lot of the carbon dioxide and the heat that we put into the atmospher

and then in this south in antarctica the species who had been living there for 5000 years have been supportedcies of penguins slurs of bones and stuff like that you can carbon date to get an idea of which species for the last 5000 years we've been there. these are visible changes. we had a lot less kelp burning kelp coverage is really, really diminished in southern california. okay that's fine the whole ecosystem but certainly massively overstretched remember their heat waves in the ocean also. these are all in the ocean are getting stressed during these heat. these people live on land they've never been to see. i went swimming two days ago in the ocean it was great after this interview i'm going again. it's great for swimming. >> anyone who lives in san diego knows the beaches have been warmer as of late. samantha, just tell me you detailed so many disasters in your book. what is the through line you want the reader to take away from this? what do you want people to really walk away from this understanding better? >> i think the biggest thing is all of these disasters that have happened to t

once we lose glaciers in greenland or antarctica, it is very late.is very difficult to recapture that in centuries or even millennia. the same is true for sea level rise. if sea level rise occurs, we lose very important coastal ecosystems, populations, frontline communities. countries like bangladesh for instance, or other low-lying areas, coastal areas, mainly developing countries. it is very difficult to reclaim that land. once it is flooded, with salt water for many reasons. >> our timescale, which is the life of a person, altering climate change is not necessarily possible. it might be possible in the longer term, but this is beyond our control. it is not possible for species. if they are gone, they are going. >> we think or we are assuming there is momentum being built to set new targets for 2013. will those targets -- for 2030. will those targets be missed as well? >> we had a lost decade were not enough action was taken. this time it has to be different. this time it feels different. compared to a decade ago, we have many world leaders, 92 wor

we came into covid as specialists in travel to latin america and antarctica. 0bviously, covid put a bitturned out, there had been an astronomer, dr ian griffin, who, in 2017 and 2018, had done some private charters to see the southern lights. so i reached out to him, isaid, "hi, i'm rachel." what we'd like to do, we'd like to recreate these flights again. he kindly said yes and came on board. we're sold out, so we've got 273 on board tonight. 273 also coming on board tomorrow night. so, you know, it's really... yeah, it's amazing. we're excited. so, we're starting to get into the aurora zone, and as you can tell from all the tape, we're trying to see the aurora, but in a minute, the lights are going to go down and we'll hopefully get some good pictures. um...how long till the lights go down? it takes a while. we will turn them down right now. l awesome. thank you. here we go — yay! start looking out the window. oh, look, you're starting to see itjust ahead of us. look, look, look, look! it's starting to come in now. look! oh, man, this is getting good. ok. can you see it through the win

and we've seen similar stories in real life about urgent rescue missions to and evacuations from antarctica. john, what are the limitations of 1st aid aboard the space station as it is currently equipped and staffed? they're pretty limited. and 1st aid is probably the right word for at holland. all of the u. s. astronauts who are sent up there. get about 40 hours of medical training because there may be an emergency, so they are equipped to do things like they can suture a cut. they can pull a tooth. there's the paper later on board. there is a very low level ultrasound device and there's some other instruments. so they're prepared to deal with, you know, emergencies. now, something is more serious than that. the option would be the best option would be to send that sick. astronaut or cosmonaut back on the soil is spacecraft, which is always dr. station. but that takes about 3 and half hours to get down. and then you've got to, you know, get that person out of the capsule into, into medical facilities. and there's also some g forces when you come down. so, you know it's, it's been problemat

a collection of items from captain scott's ill—fated final expedition to antarctica are to be auctioneddition team in 1910. john danks reports. it was described as the worst journey in the world. captain scott's doomed attempt to be the first to reach the south pole ended in failure and death. yet there is an enduring fascination with these early years of polar exploration. it is quite astounding to be standing as close to history as you can. these charts, used on the expedition, mark the progress of the terra nova as it negotiated the pack ice before finding a place for the team to land. it is absolutely unbelievable to think that scott stood over these charts while he was planning his routes and making decisions on the go. plymothian francis davies was a carpenter on the antarctic expedition. his collection of items kept within the family will be auctioned tomorrow. they don't come up that often and they do generate a tremendous amount of interest because they are from what people consider to be the golden age or the heroic age of exploration of scott and shackleton and such like. so

and as you said, antarctica have flown some trees living on it. so the consequences will be a sea level globally of about 60 laces higher than it is today. oh who died? i cried and i just kind of split the whole time. i was there. no one really thought anything different. you just all thought i just didn't feel good. on the way for the surgery, his lungs failed. 30 seconds for the killed him. i had gotten stuck with so many needles that day in 2019 doctor started talking about a new wide spread disease that caused severe lung damage. there's a few points that were really the target. all of the patients were diagnosed with a lung injury associated with using electronic cigarettes or facing products. the he pulled this out. he refilled. holy crap, he's gonna die. oh no, he's to be better. it was i wouldn't want my worst enemy every day. we got out of breath in is your media a reflection of reality in the world transformed what will make you feel safer? high selection community. are you going the right way or are you being led somewhere which directi

just wondering, the mainstream media completely ignored this report from what i have seen about antarcticaing a record cold winter season that was 4.8 degrees fahrenheit colder than ever recorded previously. host: john, thank you. anatol? guest: as with all the scientific analyses and predictions but also the recorded facts of the past 20 years show, global warming is not uniform across the planet. it has been suggested, for example, and thank god it has not happened yet, if climate change shut down the gulfstream, far from getting hotter europe will develop the climate of canada. but, if you look at the arctic over the past 20 years, you see on the contrary temperatures which are not just rising but rising between two to three times the global average. whatever happens in the antarctic you have a massive threat to humanity coming out of the arctic in terms of the disappearance of ice and therefore the rise of sea levels and above all release of me thane. one year statistic from the antarctic does not categorize everything else that is happening, including the opposite pole of the world. c

ironic, given that africa is the lowest admit or of co2 emissions of all continents except for antarcticay, africa is responsible for only 3% of global emissions, and yet, africans are already suffering some of the most brutal impacts fueled by the climate crisis. devastating floods and withering droughts. many africans are losing their lives while countless more have lost their livelihoods. the droughts and floods have left nothing behind for the people, nothing except for pain, agony, suffering, starvation, and death. a recent world bank report said we could see up to 86 million people in sub-saharan africa alone displaced due to rising sea levels, desert vacation, declining freshwater, and food scarcity. over the past few months, there have been deadly heat waves and wildfires in algeria and devastating flooding in countries like uganda and nigeria. and that u.n. has declared that madagascar art is on the brink of the world's first climate change failure. tens of thousands of people are already suffering catastrophic levels of hunger and food insecurity after four years without rain. w
