this is greenland's ice sheet. it makes up something like 85% of the whole of greenland.he ice is something like 60 meters thick. in some places it's as thick as two miles. our destination, the russell glacier. one of the most studied places on the planet when it comes to climate change. these stunning lakes, a harbinger of the retreating ice sheet. this green scientist is my guide for the expedition. why is greenland so important when it comes to understanding climate change, and why does it affect people at home? >> now, half of the rate of the sea level rise comes from the melting to have greenland ice sheet. it is an average of one kilometer thick of ice. and that is melting at a very rapid rate. just in one year, the amount of fresh water released by the greenland ice sheet is enough to cover the whole of england with two meters of water. >> or florida. >> or florida, absolutely. >> reporter: if greenland continues to melt at this pace, scientists expect tens of millions of people around the world to face more frequent flooding and displacement by 2030. that's just n

this is a greenland ice sheet melting.k. this is an existential threat to life on earth. and it requires all our focus now. to life on earth. and it requires all ourfocus now. you can't keep taking it down the road. —— kicking it down the road. i'm living at a speed of 40 metres per day in summer. it is quite extraordinary. we would arrive at where we were going to start the swim and we could see clear water and then as soon as i get in, and iceberg would move in front of you. they were moving so quickly. it was like a motorway advice at one stage. —— motorway of ice. decisions are going to be made there which will impact every single one of us on the planet, every future generation and the whole of the animal kingdom. the science is very, very clear. we have a very, very small window to act now and if we don't act then there is no amount of political will or financial capital that can solve the climate crisis. you then start crossing tipping points so my message to world leaders will be yes, we need to try and find consen

in the distant past alaska was a jungle , and, you know, some of these other -- like, iceland and greenland, they were jungles, and some of the other places that are now jungles were covered with ice. i don't see how she can say that things are vastly different. they may be vastly different than the recent past, but not distant past. then on the flooding and things going on now, you have to take into account that we have covered so much of our landmass with pavement and concrete and houses and stuff, and that, and you do have an extreme event, which is normal -- you have these 100 having your floods and things, so they are normal -- because of the buildings and concrete and pavement and everything, they look worse. so there is a lot of different thoughts on climate change. guest: yeah, that is an interesting point. it sounds like he is referring to the geologic timescale of different climates, extending back to the jurassic era and times like that, which, of course, with a completely different climate on earth. scientists know about the climate change we are seeing today is it is happening

at large people we get the hitler had many allies, you have hungary, equally greenland, behind him. and he basically used a pan european army to attack the soviet union. that is the truth which a lot of people forget. so in my view, we'll look at the recent history or the so called american was, there were also european was, europeans went together with americans to gain stuff. they went together with them . but i don't think it was because they thought it was necessarily a just cause it just that it gave meaning to yes, we actually are a military, nothing is that actually they put it put flesh on bone. and i think that george, i mean, you know, i've talked about this quite a few times here. i mean, it is not to be, you know, they want to make a commitment to the trend. atlantic security environment. he says, you know, this is a way to prove that, you know, the alliance has some kind of meaning. ok. i don't think it had any real security value. i mean, i don't know why the european countries were involved in afghanistan for example. ok. i mean, again, it was, i think, more of a just

this could send several feet of snow to greenland. now back to dateline.talie morales. detectives were working and the clock to find reagan tokes'killer. they caught a glimpse of the suspect on security video and were hoping cigarette buts found in her car would yield his dna. there was young local woman who suspected she knew who shot reagan because she said he had threatened to kill her too. here again is andrea canning with "unchecked evil." >> you just think about what she had to endure, and what she was ultimately clinging on to. at the end was just to live and be able to go home. >> it's hard to imagine the torment reagan's parents experienced in the days after her murder. the grief, the what ifs, the impossible question. could they have done anything to prevent their daughter's senseless death? >> taught our kids at a very young age about awareness and safety and being smart, not putting yourself in bad situations. >> and in toby's mind, that including going home after working a night shift near downtown columbus. >> it's pretty rough around there.
