when we were in greenland, can we stop cutting through ice? was like, no, don't. [ laughter ] probably -- probably dirt down there. so we kept cutting and sure enough, there was dirt. really old dirt. [ cheers and applause ] once i found what i thought was old dirt but it turned out it was just modern dirt. oh well. so -- what else can i say? i'm not really sure what to do with this old dirt. maybe plant a dinosaur egg. #olddirtideas, #olddirtybastard.

. >> greenland each year is losing about 300 billion tons. >> we caught up with box in greenland, homemassive glacier. it's been discharging ice into the sea as icebergs for hundreds of thousands of years, but just in the last six years as captured in this time lapse video, it has doubled in speed. >> i've seen this world's fastest glacier lose an ice shelf the size of manhattan while doubling in speed. this is a monumental change. >> and ice hasn't been melting at such a furious pace in just the arctic. scientists have observed record ice melt all over the globe, from the arctic, to the himalayas to the swiss alps. >> it has changed the whole way of life. >> this is a leader of the inuit people. >> the only people around the north pole in the arctic are us. we have been here for thousands of years. and we tell you things are changing. >> for thousands of years, a time even before memory, the inuit have been able to raid the sea ice. but just in the past 20 years, the ice has been melting earlier and earlier in the year. it has become unpredictable and unstable, even dangerous. >> two

we are already 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 scientists projected them to. there's a credible body of work now that suggests that if we continue with business-as-usual 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

see that excel aeration of sea level rise that we expect you really have to go to antarctica and greenland those are the large sources of ice as those are starting to move more quickly towards the water as we're learning that those ice sheets are vulnerable that there are more ways that they can they can melt than we thought there were that opens the door to the potential for what we call tail risk the potential for more extreme sea level rise than the i.p.c.c. for example has thought might be possible in the past so you think that their students might be more conservative than reality or are you said in the past are they are they now revising those expectations. for what are the i.p.c.c. the i.p.c.c. has revised their projections up if we look at the prior i.p.c.c. report from two thousand and seven they really took a pass on this question we're talking about now of whether the ice in greenland and antarctica might start making its way towards the ocean this time around they talked about that possibility but they may still have underestimated a few of their risks something called marine i

them or and or greenland for that matter were to cause a sudden large movement. you know the the outliers in the predictions but within the but within the predictions of a sudden large movement of a massive amount of ice and what's the worst case scenario how much ice are we talking about and what impact would it have on sea level over what period of time yeah i think it's important to emphasize that there are no credible reports suggesting that say all of the ice on greenland could be lost in any of our lifetimes but you know worst case scenario and some of the work that we've developed for new york city for example suggests that we can't rule out the possibility of something like six feet of sea level rise this century that's not the most likely number the most likely numbers probably in that two to four feet ballpark that the i.p.c.c. talks about but our perspective is that we can't rule out six feet as a worst case scenario but the really important point to emphasize is that even just two feet three feet of sea level rise profoundly changes the frequency of c

now, one of the consequences of the greenhouse effect is that the ice caps in greenland to the north and antarctica to the south, are melting. and this causes the sea level to rise. another effect of the greenhouse effect is that as the earth's temperature rises, most of the surface of the planet is covered with sea water. and therefore the water absorbs that heat, and that causes additional effects, such as the intensity, the frequency, the ferocity of storms that fuel their -- their storm surge and power from the surface water that they consume. now, having said all of that, then what are we seeing is a consequence, and as i said in my opening statement, if you live along the southeastern coast of the united states, you notice that seas are rising. the commerce committee under the blessing of our chairman, senator rockefeller, just had a hearing in ground zero. ground zero is miami beach, florida. one of the people to testify is a nasa scientist, a ph.d. who happens to be a three-time shuttle astronaut. he testified in front of the committee not predictions, not forecast, he testif
