Chasing Ice (2012) Soundboard Edit

About 1.5 degrees Farenheit since 1850 or so.

About what the glaciers were doing

ADAM LEWINTER: I'm unbelievably surprised.

ADAM LEWINTER: My boots are frozen

ADAM LEWINTER: Okay. Bye.

Already seven billion dollars.

And about 300 feet above the surface of the water.

And crunching effects in my knee

And eventually, everything drops vertically,

And everybody says well don't they advance in the wintertime?

And get that thing anchored and supported.

And give you some scale?

And I think that EIS is it

And in the losses natural perils have caused.

And like this old, decrepit man, just, you know,

And more, and more species because we're going

And sat pictures, but to be here, it's incredible.

And that we have this very, very deep connection

And the story that the glaciers were telling.

And then, when we went back this past August, it was so far

And they're just, they're crumbling

And we watched and recorded the largest,

And when something doesn't work, you feel so far from anything

And without further adieu,

And, absurdly, somehow fortunately captured an event

Another two and a half miles.

Around how much water is coming off this place

As heat takes away the surface

As much as anything about a raising of awareness.

Bizarre looking peninsula

DR. JASON BOX: It It could still shoot.

Due to local glacier dynamics

ED BEGLEY JR: It is in

Enduring power of these glaciers and their fragility.

Fantastic.

FEMALE REPORTER CHANNEL 5: The say it was

Frightened about all this than the public is.

Hold on. See if you can get in there.

Holy shit, look at that big berg rolling.

Hoodwinking the entire world community.

I love you.

I thought is was based on computer models,

I want to be able to say, guys,

I'll be the one that's laughing.

I'm not sure that's sunken in quite yet.

In Arizona New Mexico.

In case we need their help.

In fact, I think I'm so certain to get wet,

In seeing these things you don't normally get

In that, we'll have five minutes of physical function

In the climate change we observe, but, it's not enough

In the harshest conditions on the planet.

Is real.

It cannot be acclaimed by just better reporting,

It flows at 130 feet every day.

It reminds you how far he's willing to take an idea

It was obvious how he goes about things, you know?

It's real.

JAMES BALOG (CONT'D): Okay.

JAMES BALOG: Ah, I just I have to get this picture

JAMES BALOG: Alright, I'm,

JAMES BALOG: As a photographer, it's exciting

JAMES BALOG: As I was shooting that story,

JAMES BALOG: Jason has a deep, deep well of experience

JAMES BALOG: Okay.

JAMES BALOG: Photography for me has been

JAMES BALOG: Svav is the field assistant in Iceland

JAMES BALOG: The sea level rise that will happen

JAMES BALOG: Up and down the edges of the ice sheet,

JEFF ORLOWSKI: We installed five cameras

JOHN COLEMAN: The ice caps, the poles, are not going

Just be careful, don't get too close to the edge, alright?

LEWIS BLACK: I mean how do you not..

Look, it was all filled up to that point

MALE REPORTER: The horror

Of a circuit that used less power and is a lot more reliable

Of ancient air being released as the ice sheet melts.

Of forms out there..

Of Greenland Climate Change is expressed,

Of raging wildfires has again returned to Russia

Of the planet that's out in the middle of the galaxy.

Of the world's prestigious climatologist are much more

Of things are just like, crazy.

Okay good.

On one of our regular check ins, Jim, just, nothing's happening.

Or maybe three quarters of the number of species

Out of the ocean 600 feet and then falling.

Out twenty five cameras for three years

Pieces of ice were shooting

PRESENTOR: He is a visionary,

SENATOR INHOFE: The notion that man made gas,

So I created this project called the Extreme Ice Survey or EIS

So I've shut down engine number two

So in 10 years, it retreated more

So that's where we started three years ago way out on the left,

So there has to be a greenhouse gas element to it.

Something's happening inside the timer

SVAV JONATANSSON: And it was very interesting

Tad's a glaciologist he's really the grandfather,

Than it feels right now.

Than the pace at which things have changed

That just a little bit, you change the background state

That we each live on this planet.

That's a better spot than this is

That's sort of what we're doing with Climate Change.

That's what makes him who he is

That's what we're photographing; that's what I've been

That's where our story

The Atlantic Ocean is on the left side of the frame,

The part of Greenland that's melting,

The vast majority of glaciers in the world are retreating.

There it goes man.

There was a real sense of the glacier just coming to an end;

There's such a strange, bizarre fascination

They would work all day, in our little,

They're photographable, they're measurable.

This glacier had retreated 10, 11 miles.

This is what we see.

This just this whole piece must have cracked off

This whole massive city, just breaking apart

To be worked out and a lot of trial and error,

To give you a sense of scale.

To melt, the oceans are not going to flood the coast

Up one of the cameras at Store Glacier.

VO MSNBC The latest estimates for rebuilding from Irene,

We ended up installing about a dozen cameras in Greenland,

We're just observers.

With icebergs floating around in there and you realize if we go

Yeah it's gotta be this section right here.

Yep. Right up here.

Yes, there is a component of natural variability

You can see it deflating

You can't go down that.

You know we, uh...

You ready?

11, 2008. It just shot!
