ITV News Correspondent Martin Stew joins scientists looking for answers to the ever more urgent climate crisis. Historically, most of those scientists have been American, leading the world in that vital research. But under the Trump administration, the U.S. is cutting their funding by more than half. Secretary Kerry, Former U.S. Special Envoy for Climate, has said he is "very sad for humanity that any one nation is standing in the way of what the science is telling us we must do to protect life".

ITV News Science Correspondent Martin Stew was the only journalist on board the RRS Sir David Attenborough, deep within the Antarctic Circle. He joined Climate scientist Professor Mike Meredith who is studying how underwater tidal waves — triggered by collapses on that scale — alter the ocean and accelerate warming.
