00:00 In the old days, you took a canary into the mine.

00:04 If it dies, then it's time for you to flee the mine.

00:08 My first encounter with Lonnie, it was like I was meeting a real-life Indiana Jones.

00:16 Lonnie is a visionary. He saw our global climate history captured in these glaciers.

00:23 Lonnie was going where no scientist had gone before. It seemed to be impossible.

00:28 It's too high for human beings.

00:30 It's dangerous.

00:31 There's no way you're going to drill in this remote part of the world.

00:34 You're wasting your time.

00:36 Science can only advance when you do things other people think can't be done.

00:44 He was on a mission to find his place in this world.

00:49 I had no idea what I was getting into. I had never climbed a mountain.

00:53 I had no idea what it would take.

00:55 This was a huge departure from usual.

00:58 There was something wrong.

01:00 My doctor said, "You have one option and one option only, and that is to have a heart transplant."

01:06 You just keep going.

01:10 He was in denial.

01:14 I remember watching him struggle to breathe, thinking to myself, "You're not going to survive this."

01:20 Having gone through these near-death experiences, my message was to help bring together the world.

01:27 This glacier started disappearing before Lonnie's eyes.

01:33 He thought he could change something.

01:35 If he doesn't do it, nobody would.

01:38 Lonnie didn't come to climate change. Climate change came to him.

01:42 Humans can create it. Humans can solve it.

01:47 I don't believe there's anything that we cannot achieve.
