Hilarity ensued in response to Randall's tale of the “crazy ass
honey badger.” Watch what the walruses have to say about their
disappearing habitat as Randall narrates. In the last 30 years,
we’ve lost as much as three-quarters of the floating sea ice
cover at the top of the world. The volume of that sea ice
measured by satellites in the summer, when it reaches its
smallest, has shrunk so fast that scientists say it’s now in a
‘death spiral’. For over 800,000 years, ice has been a permanent
feature of the Arctic ocean. It’s melting because of our use of
dirty fossil fuel energy, and in the near future it could be ice
free for the first time since humans walked the Earth. This
would be not only devastating for the people, polar bears,
narwhals, walruses and other species that live there - but for
the rest of us too. The ice at the top of the world reflects
much of the sun’s heat back into space and keeps our whole
planet cool, stabilizing the weather systems that we depend on
to grow our food. Protecting the i
