welcome back to work here
robert altman secure is an environmental journalist based in los angeles he
joined one of our affiliate program to discuss climate change
we invited him back this week after the janu walkins interview to further
discuss the subject important to him and to all of us power to endangered holes
at how the melting of optic and antarctic ice in the release of
following permafrost me think could cause an abrupt climate change event in
this century obviously such an event would be a worldwide to testify
now robert altman's occurs a freelance writer for purple press and publications
he's contributed to our own u_k_ progressive
as well as the dissident voicing magazine the fire burned about using in
these times at polka which is the european project at oceana syndication
occupy wall street's progressive radio network up in the post and it doesn't
others roberthalf months ago welcome back to world view
i guess thank you so much for your who gave him
it's great to have you back here
robert both poll
warming it faster rates a bit of a scene on this planet anywhere else in this
planet
can we start my first comparing contrasting the arctic emi anti about
and antarctica and how do these two polls compared to them
okay todd and that's a great western right away because i i i think that
people have
a misconception of of these polls
arm
the arctic israeli a it gives these involution web
of the black white issue
so it's lonely nights
in other words to the market bridging melting part
it wouldn't impact c-level much because it's already displacing volume of water
with its own way
that something i'd be a lot of people don't have understanding you with that
in all sorts the shelves fortune all the ocean's arms
the bedrock is about fourteen hundred the concerts
that's where the russians ten years ago planted their titanium russian flat
the flowers
they just a guess is twenty twenty five percent of all the world's leading
currency are right there
and talk about agrees there in the world are
they can't wait for guys really get showing everybody else would you be
getting as witness again
converters more what's usually happens to disney result of that
and we have all of it worked with the tourism on ran aground off of alaska and
the other one was damaged
is known for me it's interesting environmental just gorgeous
ob
the hong i think i just to kind of a incidently is
they don't have everyone's in the arctic but the important things
any antarctica they have penguins but no full of it
screws ten minutes ago interesting factor
antarctica pocket contracts is one of the major parties the large
land mass
a rock it mountains
uh...
the united states wanted to moscow
uh... there's a mountain range
that arm effecting they have eighty five percent device in the world was right
there
missile for entered
obviously mountain range that separates the kind of middle two-thirds from the
bottom other third
it's usually the highest mountains sixteen thousand feet
so
there's a lot too
the geology going on
himself
at the beginning and end at antarctica
d
what's happening inst
these two polls
you could compare them to give the recess in your home
the thermostat in their home regulates the climate of your house
into holes
do the same thing
and also has to be processed one of the top one wonderfully controlling a whole
bunch of things
uh... your calls for an very sample that comes up more mazak your
of the stratospheric digestion into the stratosphere
uh... and we are really no
uh... bit things couple things are happening here
the world wildlife fund
uh... conducted arctic climate
impact assessment study the things that your story with the top scientists
in every so often is
they were alarmed about rapidly things that happen
these holes are infected by the climate change
fashionably anywhere else in the tire plant
above
uh... inbound the market
the temperatures are increasing truth reforms faster than anywhere else
on the planet
our best sellers c_i_a_ special about forty to fifty percent
the last thirty years
their winter
temperatures fahrenheit have increased fairly dramatically
and the
fit component of the advice worked sixty seventy eighty three thirty in the
middle part of this big floating block of ice
houston considerable
the problem dot bcp breakdown marketplace
with the respect was not aware
we're already seeing evidence of that
now park dr james hanson of nasa was one of the leading
pharmacologist
in-country throughout the world
uh...
he has some other scientists recently did a film about salinas for planet
parking there is that
blows up
and bob you've also formed an emergency squalor
called the arguing that the receive group of scientists
wanted to get their all into positive well
their highly concerned about what's happening
were seen the evidence already you're seeing it with these dramatic drenching
downpours you're getting to be living with us right now
buckets of water coming down all the same
we're seeing that with these these been vetted routes it we have been about
syria which is part of the for oppressed
past six years they had invented route
russian edit chin times back to back of the last four years
at one point in time they had to shut down
their exports of wheat
last year the united states
the farmland in america today
because of invaded iraq
why embedded routes for the reason for it
is that were messing around with that the respect of the more choir
and that effects the warmth of the party
of facts
the gestures
and stormy just as well
and so that's why these climate change things you know the people who these
planted tonight
are are worse than a million one and two days
because they're toward iran with
inability while the science that's coming up is legitimate this incredible
people get really disturbs me greatly
and these are some of the leaders in our country
they're causing problems
will not be able
chipped from fossil fuels to removals we got the whole game plan is laid out we
could do it starting tomorrow
but the more
they're confusing the public
the canary in
the coal mine
is the last
the smithsonian did an article
entitled
uh... barracks
alaska
uh... ground zero for climate change about two years ago they had a man who's
on the ground reporters on the ground for a month ago
and there are lots of other is very mortem workbook
the north american continent
this where the chachi
and the farm
well of course the ***
you might have
that's the canary
the core
in what's happening there and the guys who had the goods on the ground
sought with their own
is that community's entire communities are moving from the coastal areas of
alaska inland
for example in new stock alaska
the school house that was built thirty four years ago we will be under water
and to be gone within the next
five years they're gonna have to move in and while they didn't go over the
nationally on the edge of the water
the waters from today
melting of nothing not even define for the protocol
for process and other major problem
the mob
amount of
nothing
trapped in the arctic
is enough
puget the
it be the world
client
into a major upheaval
the amount of carbon
that's trapped in the marketplace twice the amount that we've already released
into the atmosphere
so we're looking at
and absolute attached to be my feelings
anybody who's twenty to thirty years old today
is going on witnesses
that's what i'm saying are not the climatologists i'm not a doctor james
hansen from a very good research
united red allot about this
aunt barb is a frightening scenario adams unless we can something be it
are own children
uh... are going to be going on a plan is for sale
uh... we're missing
the debtors opposite already in china
you've got uh... thousands of publicity thousand
square miles new desert
recruited partaking of farmland every year
that's happening and started when i was there last year for for a for immediate
or look
the western regions which to start the the
it's it's an incredible on
the situation is going on old-world
but one of the things that the the temple who's talked about was that of
community said that some of the things
that we're seeing today at the seeds were planted twenty thirty years ago
and they're just now becoming manifest so basically if i understand you you'll
say that we're headed for the same sort of future that all of us even if we do
something is going to take some time for it to completely
clear itself up and move itself back as he's calling for as are many
uh... a fifty percent of not more draw innovations just in order to keep things
steps for
well i think that's right inbound
and that's what would happen
that was not in that direction is headed in the director of sonoma
worldwide test for the
uh... you know professor stephen on
of arm
friends and the state we did you
he said in this was my last article
he said there's a class of almost instantaneous punching
therefore monsters behind the door
i call the monsters because where the to work work work work the first day
it'll be a casket
arm actually where we're headed and was his policies fate here
that's gonna happen
the architects of the ice cream
investment have a ripple effect and that the rest of the other work
it's important for thermostat down to carton
antarctica awak what already seen some problems with the western peninsula then
antarctica
uh... which by the way is marine base not land-based excuse my arms
one truth
two-mile sticker price
over the abortion
devotions one hundred at it
it's feeding up
the the the effect of which always come into the host
if that does
uh...
you know quite simply don't know bias underwater sos miami's those new york's
was los angeles os london allowances
but more importantly
we're losing world's glaciers
anybody who tells you
the climate change is not real as to why the world's glitches and multiplied by
sprinkles and thought that's what this is happening we had tangible hoover
was that his ability to see action on immediately
thanks again don for joining us here in the show robert uh... always uh... very
interesting to to chat with you
thank you judy harris will join the romanovs occurs a man who lives a
personal mission statement is as personal mission is to simplify is
probable problem and essays and articles based upon his own research of the
science he's able to address the horrors of climate change without the
circumspect required of scientists was eventually lose the public's attention
and understanding of the severity of problem thanks again for being with us
coming up next it's the monday line on wednesday where we take on the grounds
of broadcasting for their shortsighted this
you're watching world he would dennis campus stay right here
