we not only fish in the ocean, but overfish the ocean. 90% of fish is gone. run-off from industrial and creating dead zones, where there's no ocean and life. there's 400 areas. this is a crisis. >> i have a hard time drawing a line between everything you said. i don't disbelieve you. what will to do me or us if we don't fix it? >> let's talk about the economics. 3 billion people on the earth make a living from work associated with the oceans. if there's no work with the oceans they are out of work. a billion people whose chief source of protein in their diet is seafood. let's look at that alone and say, "we are at risk." >> when you did the space stuff with the x prize foundation. that's easy. you can get kids and parents involved in it. we have not created a hero culture. >> we had it a little with jack kustow. >> look at james cameron and silvia earl. our goal is - listen, we have outside, this beautiful new york skyline behind us. we had a multihundred billion, trillion atmosphere services business - the ability to predict the weather and what is going on

ocean floor. we think of the ocean that's always been and will always be. it is so huge you think we can't affect them, but we do. at the x prize foundation we see the ocean as the tragedy. no one owns the oceans so therefore no one is watching out for them. we think there are a number of places where innovators can help us fix and understand the ocean in greater detail. >> if i produce to you a martian who said what is this problem of which you speak in the oceans, what is the problem? >> there are several aspects to the problem. it's really a reflection of the scale of the human foot print. we not only fish the ocean but overfish the ocean. 90% of the big fish are gone. the run off from our industrial practices are creates no oxygen and no life. this is a crisis. >> i still have a hard time drawing a line between everything that you said. i don't disbelieve you, but what will it do to me? what will it do to us if we don't fix it? >> almost 3 billion people make a living on the ocean. if there is

her color's great. >> then they return the sharks back to the ocean. but the research doesn't stop there. >> as technology has advanced, our ability to have batteries that last for a very long time and to have small devices that can communicate with satellites has allowed us now to mount tracking devices on these white sharks. and every time they stick their fin up out of the water, the device turns on and communicates with a satellite exactly where they are at that moment. >> attaching the tracking devices doesn't hurt the sharks. it's just like getting your ears pierced. >> you put these tags on, and about 18 months later, the female white sharks show us where the babies are, where the nursery is, and then we move to protect that area. >> since sharks are some of the most ferocious predators in the ocean, you wouldn't think they need protecting, but there is another predator even more deadly -- man. >> you know, sharks are disappearing because there is an enormous demand in asia for shark-fin soup. and it's a sad thing because 200,000 sharks are finn

-a ocean temperatures to warm especially in parts of the ocean and in that to so shapes are melts this solid methane phase which then goes into gas which can get into the ocean in the atmosphere could that be caused by and i would i would say that it's. oh i was just going to say that i think the overall idea is still still controversial but we really don't have any better explanations for these carbon injections because the mass of carbon. required is so large and what makes methane particularly appealing is it's got a very unusual chemistry that it's very depleted in one of the isotopes what we call thirteen carbon and so we need to explain certain mass and methane really it's like a very strong lever to change the carbon cycle and that has what effect on years temperatures. well so that's the really fascinating thing tom because. we know that during these events the temperature changes quite dramatically for example cross the boundary it's on the order of five or six degrees and we see that everywhere from the north pole to the equator. and so that's you know it's five i should say

rise in temperature then releasing methane in the ocean is that is that still your sense of it. yes i think that's the model that people would commonly accepted. people who look for evidence of impact we're very familiar with the idea that dinosaurs were wiped out by the impact of a meteorite sixty five million years ago but in this case the evidence for impact of this event two hundred fifty million years ago much more ancient is nonexistent unfortunately but there is great evidence for massive volcanic eruptions in what is not siberia in russia producing millions and millions of tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. it is a well known greenhouse gas and this sort of thing happens on a small scale with all volcanoes but these eruptions were so much more massive than anything we're familiar with to do. and then a string of consequences followed from that as you mentioned massive heating the estimates are more than six degrees in some cases ten or fifteen degrees which which adds up to a huge difference from the regular temperature. if you do over heating on land it was ass

an expert on the oceans as i recall that. where it were do we stand today it's i would see level rise and and what is the state of life in the oceans. well with sea level rise due to the anthropogenic climate change man made climate change we've seen. level rise in the new york new jersey area it's important to understand that sea level rise won't be even all around the ocean because of lots of other factors factors including geography. we expect that there will be an accelerated sea level rise by up to three to five feet by the end of the century now in terms of life in the ocean. there is lots of dimensions to that question of course as affected by climate change we know that species are moving that productivity is changing that affects the resources that we depend upon as well as things such as coral reefs arctic sea life and so on that that we consider iconic so the climate effects on the ocean really are quite profound and these are things that we now are measuring not projected back four decades ago people were talking

these would be powered by ocean currents and then cooled by sea water.rld's energy is now used to power and cool down these data centers, and data centers are more powerful when they're moved closer to the users so these things would likely be mobile. there's one barge in san francisco another juan that just showed up a couple of weeks ago off to the coast of portland, mississippi, -- portland, maine, and its might be the beginning. >> it's like oil rigs. we used to drill for oil. now we go out in the water and we use it to basically power the world's internet. i am certain that you're going to see more of these because it is very difficult to keep them cool on land. >> and not lost on google and others, you can actually move these data centers out into international water asks that might keep the prying eyes of the feds off of google's data centers and exactly what they're doing out there. >> ah-ha. now we get to the core of it. our environmentalists weighing in? >> reporter: no, but they will be. google and its pat tent says these things are totally cl

bottom of the food chain as the oceans acidify. your thoughts on both those topics the confluence of those topics and and where you know where we're at and where we're going. on much of my career has been working in fisheries and we actually know how to address the problems of overfishing it's not that complicated if you're over fishing you need to reduce fishing pressure the politics are very complicated but we have the basic tools over fishing is still a problem in many parts of the world we've made some really good steps in the united states and certainly in other places to address the problems of overfishing and recover stocks but now what we're seeing is the background environment is changing again due to climate change manmade climate change and that means that. the actual productivity of the resources is changing and adjusting for that productivity and keeping our management on track to end the impacts of overfishing is really a big challenge now in addition. in addition to that we know that ocean acidification is occurring

and it just acidifies the ocean the oceans are getting more and more acidic and if again if we don't reverse emissions trends then by you know the second half of this century the oceans are going to be very into spittle to many forms of life and you know being. the calcifying you know oysters diatoms a lot of creatures that are critical to the entire ocean eco system simply won't be able to survive in exist in the ocean and the big winner is going to be jellyfish and people may read every so often about big jellyfish you know masses near power plants and water intakes that's what we're doing because jellyfish don't mind that they don't have a hard shell thing through the hard shell do not like acidifying ocean so it's changing in ways that are not good for most life i'm curious what your thoughts on the interconnectedness of system so that. the. dr lovelock's hypothesis the notion that the earth or at least the surface. severe earth is functions more like a living organism than it does like a machine and this idea that we have that well if we break the machine we can fix the machine
