so greenland -- thank you. greenland has a lot of ice. that is one of these glaciers leaning under the ice shelf. there is 20 feet of sea level rise showed it all someday melt. it is starting to melt. more than starting, you see it everywhere you go. don't know you can make out that picture or not. we are on a boat going up to a glacier where we are going to do work i will describe in a minute. on the front of the boat there is water as far as you can see. look at the electronic navigation system above, the icon is clearly a mile on to silent -- solid land. i asked the captain, trying to contain whatever alarm might have crept into my voice could he laughed and said the electronic chart is five years old. back then this was all ice as far as you could see. that is a sobering thought. i was there because -- this goes to what you are saying about story. a friend of mine, the woman on the left, kathy, is a poet from him and the marshall islands in the south pacific, one of the places lowest to the ocean. i knew her poetry and wanted to do a

but i think the essential point of the iceland story, the greenland story, the mountain glacier story in north america and europe and in asia is simply that the ice is converting from its solid state in the form of the blue and white glaciers to its liquid state and of course the liquid or when the ice turns into liquid, that winds up in the ocean. and when the water winds up in the ocean, that means sooner or later the ocean level will have to rise. >> so we're going to take the example that you took or one of the examples, tangier island in the chesapeake bay. there are people who live there and have done for generations intimately and intricately linked to water and yet the scientists say that it could possibly be all under water by 25 to 50 years from now. here is a clip of tangier island and what you found there. >> i'm remember this was all sand when i first came up here. we could take a boat across and we could walk up the west shoreline. >> yeah. >> where we are now is three stone from the bottom here. and that was hard ground at one time. and high enough to support the homes
