must be underestimated how russia has come into arctic awareness on arctic economy on an arctic political due to ship in the last fifteen years as a revolution or a transformation of the role of russia to be fair i think when you came in two thousand and two russian was still sort of coming out of the really tough ninety's period where it didn't have no no i mean you're late always russia going on leaving russia i'm simply making the point and i could give you all the example the arrival of china upon korea in the arctic is a mother example i am simply saying in the last ten or fifteen years we have sheet monumental changes in the arctic so most people have this picture of the arctic it's staple changing rather remold part of the world it is probably the part of the planet where we have seen in geo political terms in economic terms in scientific terms the most. transformative picture that will affect the future much more than what has happened on the european continent on the other post of the world and that is why i say to many people nobody nobody come out predict how the arctic will yo

so is arctic sea ice. just how fast is the sea ice melting? research scientist julienne stroeve is working with the national science foundation to find out. >> i know the importance of snow and ice in helping regulate the planet's temperature, it's one of the reasons i wenent into studying snow and ice because it's very important to our climate system. and i don't think it really was until about 2002, 2003 that we started to really start paying attention to what's happening in the arctic, because before that we would have, you know, we'd have low sea ice in the 1990s and then it would be followed by a high sea ice year, but what started happening in 2000 is you'd have a low sea ice year and another low sea ice year, and it just kept happening and happening year after year. and that was the thing we hadn't seen before, at least during the last sort of 50 years of data colollection. and then when 2007 happened, where you had 26% drop from the previous september in 2006, and everybody was like, what is going on? 'cause nobody expected that large

scientists predict that the arctic ocean could be entirely free of ice in the summer by twenty fifty or even sooner even before that happens the northwest passage might become a regular shipping lane mining companies would love that but environmentalists dread the prospect. that geologists completed their mission and published their findings of what natural resources can be found where it may have been pioneering work in a remote location but the consequences are as yet unknown. economically the ice melts could be viewed as a blessing from greenland its resources are attracting foreign investment creating jobs and boosting business but ecologically it could very well be a disaster so why are we allowing it to happen because we don't want to change our lifestyle and that includes being available anytime anywhere thanks to our smartphone and who would have guessed it's full of rare earths and precious metals . did you know there's gold in your smartphone. but don't go smashing it with a hammer it's just a tiny amount a fraction of a gram but still. your device also contains sixteen of

me island as in a very north of canada's arctic archipelago in july twenty seventeen an international team of geologists came to explore including some from germany's federal institute for geosciences and natural resources they were here to study the region they want to know what natural resources can be found in the arctic and where they're located in this previously untouched landscape. of any possible extraction of resources in the arctic would be taking place in a very fragile ecosystem second beating interest must be weighed very carefully natural resources on the one hand the environment on the other the best basis for doing that is solid scientific data. across the arctic ice cover is shrinking at an alarming rate and that rate is speeding up greenland has been losing ice at a rate of about two hundred fifty billion metric tons a year ice melt means rising sea levels potentially threatening the very future of humankind but in the meantime ice free land and navigation routes in the arctic mean access to resources is becoming easier five nations border the arctic ocean the united

now, i've spent my career protecting the arctic national wildlife refuge for future generations. and today, i will not support the nomination of david bernhardt to undermine the protections we have worked so hard to put in place. we must stand up for the generations yet to come that cannot yet speak to protect our public lands and our oceans. and at the same time, the trump administration is trying to roll back the fuel economy standards for the vehicles which we drive. in other words, since we put 70% of all the oil, which we consume in our country on a yearly basis into the gasoline tanks of the vehicles which we drive in our country, if you increase the fuel economy of every one of those vehicles, it reduces the amount of oil which you need to drill for. so what do the republicans want to do? what do the oil companies want? what do the koch brothers want? what does exxonmobil want? well, very simple, by not increasing the fuel economy standards of the vehicles, which we drive, you need more oil because cars will consume more in the course of a year. and they then say, let's tu

time will tell. >> al roker for us in the arctic. on the issue of countering climate change, this administration has taken several steps that the u.s. accountability office has called a regression. in the government accountability office's 2016 high risk report, it read, quote, the federal government has not made measurable progress to reduce the fiscal exposure to climate change. sharon gleason has blocked trump's executive order that expands offshore oil and gas drilling. president trump's order revoked an obama era ban that wanted to drill about eight acres in the atlantic. the wording of president obama's 2015 and 2016 withdrawals indicates that he intended them to extend indefinitely and, therefore, be revokable only by an act of congress. i want to bring in monica medina, former special assistant to the secretary of defense, and former deputy undersecretary for department of commerce for oceans at the national atmospheric administration. monica, good to talk to you again. let me ask you, what's the issue with drilling offshore?

we're seeing a short, sharp burst of really cold air that's come down from the arctic.s, and with it all those shower clouds. the cloud that's in the north sea is coming back into scotland and northern england, which is why we're seeing some sleet and snow, and it's quite slippery over some high—level routes. some icy patches around, with temperatures in many places close to orjust below freezing. so a cold start really, i think, to wednesday, and a pretty miserable morning across the far north of england and scotland. some rain, some sleet and snow across the hills. that wetter weather clears away from northern england, pushes its way into northern ireland, mostly rain here, and across north wales. but some heavy showers in the south—east and east anglia. some hail and thunder possible here. for many central and eastern parts of the uk, shouldn't be too windy, so those showers could hang around a bit, but it will be windy in the north and west of the uk — strong to gale—force winds here. so these are the temperatures, 7—9 degrees. it will feel colder in the wind. espec

we asked the same about the arctic and other places. again, no response. we asked the acting secretary if he would commit to meeting with the governors of states of which he proposes to deal for oil. no response. he we asked if he would commit to meaningful hearings on states impacted by the oil drilling. no response. we asked how he would reconcile the opposition to offshore drilling to every governor democrat or republican, with president trump's goal of opening all of those waters to drilling. and what did we get no response. we asked if he could confirm that the administration's provisions to the well-controlled cruel, the one safety reform put in place after the deepwater horizon disaster wouldn't denigrate safety. no response. so, mr. president, i won't risk it. i won't risk new jersey's $34 billion tourism industry. i won't risk $800 billion in coastal property values, i won't risk a fishing industry that supports 050,000 jobs in my -- 50,000 jobs in my state, i won't risk the shorelines, i won't risk the lives and livelihoods that depend on clean c
