we are alreaeady 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

all the complexities, think of greenland taking three years to leave the eu. think of canada... eight months. norway was not a member of the eu. you left the eu. you decided to quit, ok, so you should not expect those people who you turn your back to them, to be nice to you. you cannot ask for free trade agreements and get the same benefits as if you are a member of the eu, no, you can't. you have to leave and after that, they will decide whether they will give you this free trade agreement or not. but you cannot leave and have all the benefits. but you were in favour of brexit, weren't you? no, i was against it. i was always against it. the city of london, most businesses would like a transitional agreement. most people in business and trade would like a transitional agreement. this weekend we saw a very important report from the house of lords on the uk fishing industry. i was very surprised. uk fishing was something you would think would want to come out of the eu altogether and the common fisheries policy that even in that area the house of lords were saying they would have

portions of siberia, russia and one of the reasons is because we have had a huge storm system impacting greenland's basically pushed all of this cold air out and south, so the north pole, 31 degrees today. in fact, look at these other temperatures compared. fairbanks, alaska, 13 below zero today and the north pole, 31. so quite a bit warmer. look at this. this is from november. this is the north pole and they have been running about ten degrees celsius warmer than normal. from october 27th to november 17th, the antarctic has also been running above normal, so it's not just the north pole but both poles have been running way above normal. look at this. this is sea ice. we have had a major loss of sea ice in the north pole over the last couple of years, so there's a lot of concern because with this loss of sea ice, temperatures are just going to get warmer because when you have a nice sea pack, then we get a lot of sunlight reflected so it stays colder. when you lose that sea ice, temperatures just continue to warm. >> jennifer, appreciate it. thank you. >>> oklahoma's football coach is speaking ou
