did in antarctica it would actually raise the levels by 3 metres which is an even more disastrous in our area so that is dramatic and of what about the other consequences we could see from having this unstable climate situation well there it's impacting very severely also on animal populations in the arctic you know it's very hard to gather data about animal populations in the arctic because it's just so remote it's one of the most remote places on earth but for example it's there's a new study that shows that the population of chinstrap penguins as along the western coastline has crashed by over 75 percent since similar studies were carried out back in the one $970.00 s. and really in the ark in the antarctic it all comes down to to the krill population who are these small shrimp like creatures that there are vast vast swarms of them in the in the waters around antarctica and the entire eco system there depends on everything it's cruel or something that needs krill and so if that population has been showing due to commercial fishing obviously as well but krill are a cold water anima

and as antarctica and arctic warm, that temperature grade kind of shrinks. and that means a lot of the atmosphere currents that kind of form our weather, they begin getting really wobbly. and things start changing and things get weird. so like the polar voer tertex t happened a bunch of winters, scientists are beginning to link to the antarctica melting. >> what is the implication to a warming antarctica for the rest of the world? >> it's telling us that the models are right. it's telling us that climate change is happening. sort of everything we have known to be happening for a while in the climate reports which is that, you know, if we don't do something to reign in our greenhouse gas emissions, catastrophic things will happen. it's also not great for the animals that live in the antarctica. penguins. it's not great for the aquatic life down there. so the whole system -- i don't want to say it's falling apart. but like we are a network on this planet and it's not good for that web. >> and real quick, is there any chance this could just be a freak weather e

it comes as temperatures on the antarctica peninsula spike to 65 degrees fahrenheit. scientists also captured this moment when a glacier recently collapsed in the very same region. take a look at that. >> trevor: wow. giant chunks of antarctica are breaking off? you know who i blame for this? harry and meghan. now everyone's trying to be independent. ( laughter ) "i want to be my own iceberg! i'm out!" ( laughter ) and, guys, honestly, i don't know how we're going to stop antarctica from melting. like, we either fight to lower global temperatures, or we send icebergs to black churches so they can learn how to cool themselves off. "oooh, baby, you melting because of the devil." ( laughter ) and did you hear them say that this iceberg is three times the size of paris. i don't actually know how big that is. ( laughter ) and i don't know why the news does that. why are they giving me measurements that require me to travel to europe? so what, now, i have to wander around paris three times to understand? that's not practical. and it's going to get boring. by the first time

a new study says if temperatures continue to go up in antarctica global sea levels could rise by up to one and a half meters by the year 2100 at chile's escudero base on king george island the ice and snow pack has melted almost entirely this year. it's the 1st time we see a lack of snow that is so impressive it really caught our attention we left some sensors installed we've seen temperatures over 13 degrees just so you know in the last 40 years ice loss in the antarctic has increased 6 fold and as it continues to melt the warm temperatures are also having an impact on wildlife like chinstrap penguins populations of them have plunged dramatically we did find one colony on elephant island that had a very large cawley that declined about 77 percent. tremendous loss over a very short period of time and with january of 2020 setting new heat records there's no sign the melt is going to slow anytime soon. well it's valentine's day and love is in the air in thailand by more than 20 couples got married aboard a hot air balloons hundreds of people back to push them off but it's risky bad marri

climate is changing in antarctica and is changing in antarctica and is changing quite rapidly. the antarctic peninsula has warmed by around three degrees since the 1950s and it's one of the fastest warming places on earth. that is quite worrying. this is just places on earth. that is quite worrying. this isjust one places on earth. that is quite worrying. this is just one data point, if you'd like. it's not necessarily, you can't contribute it to an overall change but it is against the setting of overall climate change. so what is it doing to this lovely environment? cold certainly, but what is it doing to it? that particular event would have lasted a few hours, perhaps days, but if these kinds of events occur over ice or ice shelves or you can see melting occurring, in fact, these events are thought to have been linked to do the deed stabilisation of two ice shelves which are these floating platforms of ice on the antarctic peninsula in the 90s. what sort of shape is antarctica in? the physical plan scape and the wildlife, what's going on with ella is a huge continent so it's

but this is really just a small window into much greater change that will ultimately come for antarctica and will lead to significant suitable rise at that moment the science predicts that we could get up to a meter of sea level rise by 2100. there you can find a lot more about all the major stories as ever on the al-jazeera website i desire to counter. terrorism take a look at the top stories here it out is there the number of coronavirus cases is search for a 2nd day in a row in the chinese province at the heart of the outbreak officials in who bays say almost 5000 new infections were confirmed on thursday and that brings the country's total to more than 55000 while there still isn't a cure one hospital in more hands says they're all science a blood transfusions from people who have recovered from the virus could be an effective treatment adrian brown has the latest from hong kong we now know that the authorities the medical authorities have broadened their criteria for diagnosing people that means we had a huge spike on thursday in terms of deaths and infections today the rate is a bi

antarctica has recorded a temperature of more than 20 degrees celsius for the first time since records began. the reading of 20.75 degrees was taken by a brazilian team off because of the contine. scientists say this reading may be a one-off and notng part of a erm trend, but it does follow antarctica's warmest january on record. a docto from the british antarctic survey, we asked her adwhat she makes of this g of 20 degrees. >> the first thing to say is the data is w. not substantiated or verified. in order for a temperature reading to be recognized as a proper record, it needs to be substantiated and verified. this is a long process and the process is starting. it has a way to go before it is accepted as a record. temperatures have been warm on the peninsula. i would also like to emphasize that they arnot normally plus 20. occasionally you get sporadic warm temperature events, they are driven by processes by the air which is a measurement site hang gone over a mountain chain. when the air comes down, it warms, it is an effect, it gives you a srt-term rapid rise in temperatur it is im
