Thank you to Humans Of New York for bringing the world's attention to bonded labor even more.

In the second episode of our show's second season, Shane Smith travels up north to take a look at our world's rising seas. Then VICE goes to Pakistan, where millions of citizens work as bonded laborers in brick kilns. Watch Season Two Episode 1: bit.ly/VICE-HBO-S2-E1

HONY brought me here!!

THERE'S PROBABLY SOME PRETTY COOL FOSSILS IN THERE SOMEWHERE.

man, that glacier montage with the music around the 10 minute mark was bone chilling. I'm glad the 2nd season turns out to be just as well done and informative as the first. Good job, Vice

If watching the first part made me really want to help save the world, watching the second part certainly killed that feeling along with the hope for humanity.

Great reporting Vice. A lot of hard work goes into traveling to these locations and getting input from the experts/scientists on the ground studying this major issue everyday.

What do you eat? "I eat bread, what else, bitch? You see me fucking working here?"

This is just sad

the Pakistani government should be ashamed tbh

Thank you so much for posting these Vice.

Vice is all the news I've been missing for years! I was hooked from episode one.

As someone born in Pakistan, it really breaks my heart that those people are being used as slaves. SMH

looking at that clean fresh water coming of that ice is making me thirsty

IM so happt this back. Loved the first season. cheers guys very imformative

Always something special when Shane is involved. Duffy is solid too.

@11:14 Why are you burning a campfire, releasing CO2 into the atmosphere right next to the melting glaciers! Have you no shame!

Music is by Godspeed you black emperor, I believe the track is East Hastings!

Seal saying hello at 2:22 lol Is there a part one to this? All the best! : )

All around heart breaking episode. Truly.

Vice, why don't you cover animal agriculture as a cause of this global warming? Why do you show a clip of traffic when all forms transportation combined account for about 13% of GHG emissions, while animal agriculture (the meat and dairy industries) causes 51%? In discussions in reducing climate change, it seems that most media sources only want to tell us that our cars are the problem, giving us a feeling of helplessness as many (at least in the U.S.) need to drive to get to work and to meet all the demands of daily life in general. We need to focus on things we have the power to change dramatically. All it would take to cut out 51% of greenhouse gas emissions is to stop supporting the meat and dairy industries entirely, which could be possible overnight in theory as products of those industries are completely unnecessary to the human diet.

It's sad that VICE combined both the stories☹️. The story of bonded labors in Pakistan should get a separate episode. I have read a lot about why Pakistan was formed, why partition happened and I found that 'zamindaari' or landlordship I may call it was one of the primary reasons - Not Islam in danger of which was Jinnah's rhetoric. If that was the case India wouldn't have been left with more numb r of Muslims that Pakistan today. I think the Pakistani people have been exploited badly by the 'muhajirs' or the urdu speaking immigrants from India. The education level has gone so damn bad that it's inevitable that something bad happens from inside country. Feels bad to the land of the great Indus Valley civilization is in such a poor state. God bless them!

10:28 onwards.. I died a bit inside and made me teary. It's a very nice place, I hope one day I'll get to visit there.

I don't know if i should feel like a bad person, but the greenland piece hit me the hardest.

Couldn't we just move all the cities that were once on the coast of the US, to Greenland (once it melts)? I mean, we lose land but then we gain Greenland. Shit evens out. Fuck cities on the coast anyways.

Fill up a cup with ice then water wait for all the ice to melt then see if any overflowed. The sea level will drop if all the ice melts, not rise.

the godspeed you song at the melting glaciers made my day :)

Thank you for this episode

Sad that nothing will never change despite all this proof.

why the hell is the police scared of the owners?! what on earth can they do against policemen with ak 47s?

I did not know how severe and how quickly the ice has been melting, and didn't realize how much damage it could do to the major cities around the world.

great reporting on such a tragic issue. (bonded labor)

Did he just say “political clout” Definitely years in front of our time.

HONY BROUGHT ME HERE

There was a -114F wind chill in Lake Placid yesterday.

Thank you Vice for all the work you do opening peoples eye's to what really goes on the the world if it was not for you... The normal media controlled by government's would keep things covered up. Keep up the great work your amazing team do.

I want to be born in 1820, I can't stand all this anymore.

God help stop this ,

The ending made me cry ;__;

imo this type of docu may be longer then 28 min. (for 2). idk if there is a place to go to see an extented or original longer version of these docs? I would be interested to see more of this. (Especially the one about Greenland) thx for sharing.

HONY

Slave labour also exists in many western countries.

This shot is great--informing

Godspeed You! Black Emperor to melting ice. Why didn t anyone come up with that combination earlier? So brilliant.

What does he mean nobody wins if the sea rises?; I live at an altitude of 300 meters, so there's no way I'll be under water even if every bit of ice on the earth melts. But if it melt's that would bring the sea closer to me, so more opportunities for seaside tourist business, there would be less dry land, so my land would be more valuable, the traffic through panama and suez canal would be faster and cheaper etcetera. Global sea rise is bad, we all know that but there are still a few positive sides to it.

Inb4 climate change isn't real

intresting thank you vice

The music sounds like the soundtrack from 28 Day Later

the DPCDSB is using part of this film for GR11 academic English culminating project.

i will never get tired of the intro

i am proud of your work. cheers

When does the new season on HBO start? One of the only programs on television worth watching

This series is very good. It lets you know what the world truly is

Damn, got shivers from this : /

What is the music that comes in around 10:00? Its great.

The way kid reply back, roti kanday hai or ki kanday hai. Made me laugh.

Many of our ports had to be shut down last year (in Nuuk, and in Paamuit) for the first time since the 60s because the water froze over and ships were stuck in place. Much of the black ice mentioned was caused by oil barred under the ice that has risen. Last summer, I flew into Kangerlussuaq to connect a flight to Copenhagen and saw much of the black ice they showed in the interview. I can assure that majority of the "blackness" is not fault of humanity. Even in school, they tell students its caused heating and cooling phases that the Earth receives and the Greenlandic parliament refuses to offer environmentalist/researchers any help with funding. However, if this ends up being true to the extent they say, at least we'll be able to continue growing potatoes. A few years ago, some Danes introduced a hybrid potato plant that was able to handle the Greenlandic winters. The current temperature right now, iss -13 and snowing.... so yeah, it gets pretty cold here. :P

Vice thank you for sharing with us HBO's episodes we really appreciate your work so thumb's up everybody for the good work...

Dear Mr Smith, Thank you for your choice of articles. opens my small world infront of youtube. is there a way to categorize your site to more easily view your own written / selected articles?

Loving the GY!BE soundtrack.

This is scary as shit and extremely sad how it's not an even bigger concern amongst world leaders.

Is it just me which when they heard the HBO Intro felt like that the game of thrones music would follow .

Feed my addiction with vice on KZfaq because I can't afford HBO

Wow... Vice is so awesome

Nearly 7 yeas since this video has been posted about the Greenland Ice shelf where he reported has probably vanished :( Also the Doomsday Ice shelf in Antarctica called the Thwaites a fissure has been discovered meaning that it is about to collapse.

Digging the godspeed song.

Does anyone know the end credits song to this episode? It starts on 27:29 I've tried looking in the credits and the description box but can't find it. I apologize if it's there and I was too blind to see.

First Time I actually became aware of the amount of Ice melting in Greenland, was when I watched the Chasing Ice documentary a few years back. And man I gotta say, I have never been more shocked and mesmerized probably in my whole life. In one shot you had 2 researchers camp out on top of a ice mountain, trying to catch the Ice falling on camera a few miles away from them. They waited for a few days I believe, and just as they were about to give up and leave... the ice dropped. The scene literally looked and sounded like the Apocalypse was about to begin. Millions of tons of ice was falling. whole Titanic size icebergs (lol :P) were twisting and turning, going completely right side up and then plummeting to the depths of the sea. The event happened for over half an hour I believe, and during watching that whole scene, my jaw was dropped the whole entire time, just amazed by the sheer power of mother earth. Highly recommend this fantastic documentary to everyone. We really need to wake up and deal with this situation as a whole. or else most of earth will be a modern day Atlantis... ♫ Under the sea, Under the sea ♫

Well at least the ship didn't get caught in the ice like the last exploration where they were frozen in place

'families must make a thousand bricks before sundown every day..." I had to replay that part of the video a few times. Jesus.

whats the song/ beat on this episode? i thought it was really good.

Dear VICE, please make episode 1 available in Australia.

My main question that im baffled on for this is that the Earth is millions if not billions of years old. I kinda find it hard to believe the Earth hasn't had stuff like this happen in the past. I mean it's still horrifying that it's happening now but this is all something very hard to fully grasp the scale of.

I love the production here. Ever get the sense that Shane talks like a buzzed American trying to chat with a foreigner that has broken English? What is that?

Shout out to Humans of New York!

So I can watch season 2 but not season 1.....well done vice real smart.....

It's been doing this for hundreds of years. It melts and re-freezes

at 14:04 he says "all of it", but head says no so which is it ?

Does anyone know the soundtracks/where a listing of the soundtracks VICE uses for their episodes?

Did nobody stop to think that it could be the fish who are making the sea levels rise? I mean we do eat an awful lot of them, this situation sounds fishy to me.

I love Vice!

Good Work. Congrats for zeel,.

when were they there and what was the temp there at the moment

Well at least were starting to figure out ways of reducing C02 emissions. For example electric cars are a huge plus and windmills were using for energy so were getting there. Lets just hope it's not too late before we figure it out!

Thanks vice =)

Talks about forest fires throwing up soot and ash into the air which makes black snow on Greenland's ice shelves. Makes campfire right in the middle of it.

is there a season 3?

THIS IS WHY THAT IS MELTING: At least five major ice ages have occurred throughout Earth's history: the earliest was over 2 billion years ago, and the most recent one began approximately 3 million years ago and continues today (yes, we live in an ice age!). Currently, we are in a warm interglacial that began about 11,000 years ago.

This guy is one of the best journalist!

what is the soundtrack used at 10:17 ?

When i saw that hill just going down i just thinked about the husky or other animal ;(

Anybody recognize the track at 16:00 ? Sounds like Boards of Canada but I can't quite place it.

11:04 got the bottle of jami by the fire

I have to watch this for my geo class lol (it's an assignment so ill say what I got when we get it back)

The theme from 28 Days Later at 10:46?

Is that a face in the ice on the right at 1:35?

I live on L.A. California, when should I move do I won't be underwater?

1:32 lol on the right hand side the ice looks like an animal's head

nice boards of canada @ around 15 min

Is it just me or do any of y'all really wanna take a drink of that white ice glacier melt stream? It looks like it'd be the most refreshing water ever
