most people sense a change in the
weather
it's not your imagination biggest storms
droughts fires we're seeing one in a
thousand year floods with astonishing
frequency how many times does that have
to happen before it's not a fluke but
it's a trend is this trend the new
normal
our planet did not come with a manual of
how it all works
to understand how it works
Nova Explorer is one of the greatest
scientific quests of all time this is
the essence of science of global
investigation of our climate machine and
how it determines how with the
technology it's a huge leap forward it's
damn changing
it's just been like flipping on the ice
it is a historic adventure science goes
back almost 200 years it was one of
these things waiting to be discovered
probing deep into our natural world
there's really nothing like it and
science
looking for clues from Greenland's ice
sheet the only way out of there is that
helicopter you're certainly not walking
out to the desert of what's true that
gives us the really important window
into the past the stakes are high
yet the outcome uncertain
we're poking at the climate system with
a long sharp carbon tipped spear and we
cannot perfectly predict all of the
consequences can these discoveries show
us where our planet is headed Mike is
mean hope is that we understand this so
we actually can do something about it
it's a planetary crisis but we're clever
enough to think our way out of this
