1.3 The Greenhouse Effect
In Antarctica, an ice shelf the size of Connecticut disintegrates...
An ice berg the size of Massachusetts takes to sea...
In the Arctic, glaciers retreat...
The Greenland ice cap shrinks...
and a most unusual experiment finds sea ice thinner than expected.
What's going on... and how does it affect everyone on the planet?
In this video, the greenhouse effect... and global warming. They're not the same thing...
And climate change... how much is natural, and why most experts think humans are contributing to it.
Science concepts that made our planet habitable.. and trends that could make life more difficult in the future.
