>> the tides are dropping the sea grass is actually getting closer to the surface. >> turns out sea grass is showing some promise mitigating the effects of co2 in the water. >> sea grass because it utilizes photo synthesis is actually taking carbon dioxide out of the water. that's what's making the water acidic. so it's actually removing carbon dioxide from a local area and therefore buffering against ocean acid in a small area. >> the bay here is a fifteen mile long, 1 mile wide stretch of water. large enough to support the millions of oysters raised here, but small enough to see the impact of a localized ecosystem. sea grasses are flowering plants that live in marine environments. there are some 58 species of sea grasses known to marine biologists. since they survive on photosynthesis, they tend to live near sunlight, or in shallow waters. seabeds are diverse ecosystems supporting fish, algae, and yes, oysters. >> so right now this grass below us is actually doing a service. >> it is, it is doing a service. we're finding that it's complicated. >> complicated because of this: when the su

since 1980, 40% of sea ice cover has disappeared. scientists expect the arctic ocean to be largely free of summer ice by mid century or sooner. >> the ice reseeding -- receding has an impact on the environment and on the flora and fauna in the arctic and that changes traditional with a ways of life in greenland or alaska that hunters can no longer get to the seals because the ice is receding. >> but there are other more troubling consequences. melting sea ice accelerates warming. ice reflects the sun rays back into space. but dark open waters exposed by loss of sea ice absorb them. >> what scientists believe is happening is the more that ice cap shrinks, that dark water absorbs heat faster. and it becomes the cycle where the warming actually begins to go faster than what has been projected. >> so the less ice we have there, and the less surface for the sun to bounce its rays off of, the warmer the whole planet becomes and that's what we get into what we call feedback loops. so the arctic is a bellwether for the rest of the planet. th

level rise or 11 inches of extra sea level rise. now, to put that in concrete terms, let's look at the u.s. naval academy in annapolis, maryland. now, annapolis right now experiences about 50 nuisance floods a year. under the best- case scenario, in 30 years hence it could be as high as over 240, about, high tides a year. if we have a highest-emission scenario, it could be as high as 380 tides a year, many of those twice a day. we think, there's only 365 days in the year. pretty much, that's almost... you know, it's inundation at that point. >> and in this country, we have encouraged people to build on coastal areas, barrier islands, and other high-risk areas that inevitably raise the risk level and the exposure, not only by property values, high-valued properties, but the cost of repair and recovery, both for the homeowners as well as the public infrastructure that supports them. so think roads and bridges and that kind of thing. so it--the cost of climate change has to be factored in both in public and private insurance and public
