the glassy sea on a perfect day, you think you're safe, you think you're close enough now to liverpoolg is good, and suddenly you see this track heading right toward the- right toward the ship. so that's what that moment was like. there's the impact, and then- and this is what's relevant to theodate pope and others. the explosion, the explosion admitted- opened a, opened a hole in just the right place in the ship. schwieger wasn't even aiming for that hole. that was an accident. opened up just the right spot. flooding was so massive, so intense that the ship almost immediately took on a 25-degree list. you can imagine this, 25 degrees. so while it had more than enough lifeboats, suddenly half those lifeboats were useless. they're essentially useless. people tried to use them with catastrophic result. they were essentially useless because, if you think about it, your 25-degree list, the boats on the port side are now- they just want to, they want to move in against the deck and against the super structure. starboard side had the boats, ordinarily a hair-raising thing to get onto a boat

the size of maine. 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. tha

lions and the mothers are out to sea. ldn't keep up, alone and starving. the new conference in san francisco blames analogy that produces a neuro toxin that's harmful for any mammal, even sea lions, in low concentrations. >> it is not enough to cause seizures and death, but it's enough to kill the neurons, and so they get the part of the brain that shrinks, and then they can't remember things as well, and they can't navigate as well. >> demowic acid is why the crab harvest had to be canceled this year, because it's also toxic to humans. in sea lions, when something is wrong with them, something is very wrong with their food supply and their environment. >> so the fact that the mothers of the pups are not able to find the food and what they need gives us insights into the state of the ocean environments fromle point of view of water temperatures, and fisheries. >> reporter: the center is seeing more of these cases each year. a rapid and steady increase since 2015. in the first ten weeks alone, the center received 600 more p

. >> and phil, both weather and climate change are huge parts of the story because the sea ice in the arctic is receding. >> and i actually got to see that sea ice receding in action, and the scientists up there that were monitoring this are overwhelmed by the speed that this is actually happening. >> well it seems that the more the ice recedes, the easier it would be to drill right? >> yeah but what happens is actually different because even though the sea ice is gone, the extreme weather conditions remain and that's causing big problems for big oil. >> the arctic - remote, breath-taking - and one of the world's harshest frontiers. for years it's been a front line in a battle over the future of energy and climate change. temperatures here are rising twice as fast as the rest of the world. but the arctic may hold 13 percent of the world's undiscovered oil. in july, 2015, shell began its controversial journey to the arctic. its mission - to drill an exploratory well in the chukchi sea, hoping to find that untapped potential. the stakes are high - for shell - and for the environment. th
