they believe climate change has caused so much melting at the south pole that the giant ice sheet is on course to crumble. >> the ice holds 90 percent of the world's fresh water, and climate scientists say if it were all to melt, sea levels could rise up to 200 feet, but that would take many generations. >>> and back here in the bay area, darren peck has the forecast. >> if you look at the scene from the top of the sales force tower it's classic summer. low gray clouds for the bay area, but over the hill it's sunny. if you get inland, perfectly clear skies. >> it happens a lot actually. confined to summer. it doesn't typically happen like this throughout the course of winter. and the way we cooled down today was very much like a summer pattern. so let's behind that view, and now i'll show you what it looks like over the tri-valley. clear skies. and we'll put numbers there. livermore is the closest actual location to this camera. it's 57 degrees over there right now. san francisco at 52, santa rosa at 54. so looking at the eggs tent of the clouds, the futurecast can pick up on them, t

nasa shot a disused rocket stage at 5,500 miles an hour into a dark crater at the lunar south pole, an never shines. amongst the debris spewed out was water ice, crystals stored in a deep freeze, possibly leftover from when the moon formed or dumped there by comets or asteroids. we know there is water on the moon, so all the evidence is pointing there could be quite a lot. we have returned samples. we have meteorites and they all show they contain water. and from orbital data, there's a lot of areas that are showing evidence of water as well. we just don't know how much there is there. so it could be a very, very thin layer of water ice or it could be a big, big depth of it. so an instrument like the mass spectrometer on the drill on the rover would actually quantify how much is actually there. modern space science is so tricky and so pricey it relies on collaboration. which is why i've made the trip from milton keynes to cologne in germany, where the european space agency tests its astronauts and entertains big kids who are visiting. sadly, i am not training to be an astronaut, but i

but we tend to focus on the north and the south pole but there is an equally critical area of ice sometimes referred to as the 3rd pole it contains the glaciers of the hindu kush himalayan region and they supply the life blood of asia their melt water feeds the continents 10 largest river systems and supports more than a 1000000000 people in the process but these glaciers also pose a threat to communities our next report brings you the story of an unusual glacier that's endangering lives in pakistan. it's a documented fact that the world's glaciers are shrinking but in the care of a mountain range a number of them up bucking that trend for now this is just the glacier in northern pakistan it's increasing in length and width and it's moving downhill carrying with it hundreds of tons of ice and debris that are pushing down into the valley. one year the glacier move forward 8 to 10 kilometers. then to keep moving smoothly until there were 4 months when it was really surging forward at about 5 to 7 meters a day. the. scientists don't agree on what exactly is causing some glaciers in the car acc
