the arctic is complex and hard to predict. but we do know sure things are going in the wrong direction and it's having global consequences. there's another big research program called the o. m g project which actually stand for oceans melting, greenland, it's a nasa project which maps the ice melt to better understand how warm oceans effect the melting of the ice sheet. we spoke to the principal investigator josh willis. it's going to cure the wave, engaging people in climate science. for the last 6 years, we've been measuring how the oceans here change, and also watching the ice as it grows and retreats. and by relating the ocean changes to the ice changes, we're hoping to get better in predicting just how quickly ice here is going to melt . and sea levels are going to rise all around the world. for several years. we've phone an airplane with a radar to measure the ice. what we're doing here right now is we're measuring the ocean. so we have an old d, c. 3 aircraft that was built for world war 2. her re purpose per science ab

take the arctic.ot of stuff coming out of the american and european security establishments talked about the melting of the arctic as somehow increasing russian security threats. that is not what it is about. the melting of the arctic threatens tipping points and feedback loops. the melting of the arctic ice, sea levels rise, risking runaway climate change. if climate change goes from two degrees to three to four to five, then you have an existential threat to modern civilization in general and the united states in particular. if that happens over a relatively short space of time -- and are indications it has happened so quickly on such occasions in the distant pass, no organized state will be able to withstand the results are that would be the destruction of our society. for heaven sake, russian warships being able to move around more easily in the arctic is really not a threat that compares to that. host: in your book, "climate change and the nation state," you argue that nationalism is a way for co

so, in terms of looking at the arctic ocean, which is now 50% exposed to sunlight, for the three months of the polar summer, which is when these extreme weather events occured. how do we manage to keep the ocean covered with ice so that once again it reflects icepack? that is what we are trying to do. and the natural process we are focused on at the moment is what happens when there is a storm at sea, you create little droplets of sea water in the year. the smaller droplets are picked up by winds going up. that can create white cloud cover. what if we imitate this by creating tiny droplets of sea water in the ocean and simply pumping them over the surface of the ocean? we plan to encircle the arctic circle with these remotely driven ocean vessels which have been designed in great detail, so that when we get a met office information that the wind is blowing towards the arctic sea from one region, we activate those vessels. but it is, as you said, this is what if, it has not been done yet. the emphasis is on reduction of emissions. it is about adapting and mitigating. where do you actuall
