VICE on HBO Season 2: Greenland Is Melting & Bonded Labor (Episode 2)

[@shinebrightbyul]

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

[@fuckoffannoyingutube]

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

[@JustAnotherBrownBoy]

HONY brought me here!!

[@natashia8925]

Just Another Brown Boy me too

[@AbeerZaidi]

Just Another Brown Boy me too! and its a shame that being a Pakistani and living right next to bhatta chowk i had no idea that this was what was happening here!! so so sad!

[@gentleeyes]

Just Another Brown Boy 2 million raised in three days. So beautiful. We can stop this.

[@nathalienat2]

me too.. thanks to HONY..

[@alenaabuchi5933]

Just Another Brown Boy me too!

[@phuku177]

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

[@Cinnabun]

Now they're in the ocean lol

[@timinator855]

Cinnabun there is still some land under it so he might be right about that :)

[@HarbardWild]

timinator855 " some land ", it's quite damn big land under it :D

[@HarbardWild]

Tyler Durden Ok how much? How big is it and where is it? I'll send cash asap, just post address here

[@oilpond]

***** that wasnt funny.

[@yikaiyang5192]

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.

[@TemujinKhan8]

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

[@VICE]

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

[@WarrenS.]

Regarding the crazy and well documented part about the global warming issues, please tell Shane Smith that he should let Peter Brabeck-Letmathe know about this so he can go set up a Nestle shop close by and gather all that water so he can resell it back to the poor and those that done have the right to free, clean water www.freedomsphoenix.com/Uploads/Graphics/129-0422085618-nestle-no-more-water.jpg

[@WarrenS.]

I dunno who 'you people' are but maybe you could try a cup of cammomile tea....

[@drissgreen1280]

***** please go back to fox and watch how hannity tells the viewers that cheney is a man of peace, reality is not for you

[@peterm2314]

Most interesting news show out there.

[@WarrenS.]

Tyler Durden. Here, let me google that for you.

[@tyzxcj34]

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.

[@nicolainjumsenrregaard7228]

This is just sad

[@Friggle_Dee]

It'll be all good once Trump buys Greenland

[@KindSmack]

Friggle Dee Greenland belongs to Denmark. so the country itself is owned by another country

[@redshirtspeaker]

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

[@asha8443]

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

[@6to1]

Thank you so much for posting these Vice.

[@miss.p4570]

the Pakistani government should be ashamed tbh

[@raneroth7981]

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

[@jeremycalhoun6783]

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.

[@1Schrankwand]

fill ur cup with water, then lay about 2kg of ice on it. Wait a day and see if the whole fuckin floor is covered in water

[@prappypat]

...Bruh

[@jeremycalhoun6783]

1Schrankwand The water the ice melts into takes up less volume so that would be impossible. We learned this in like 5th grade. well at least i did.

[@jeremycalhoun6783]

FunkStarGaming So your saying im wrong that when ice melts it takes up less space than it used too. Got it.

[@jeremycalhoun6783]

FunkStarGaming Greenland is gaining a bunch of land because of this. Shouldn't it be the opposite? Also the majority of the ice is below sea level as well throughout Greenland and a Antarctica. They said all that ice would melt also.

[@carllilavois]

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.

[@RiotHouseLP]

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

[@Eusantdac]

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

[@MikeBova1]

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

[@thecitizenjoan]

Mike Bova same 😂

[@OMNIANPHOENIX]

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

[@timstadlmueller58]

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

[@thecitizenjoan]

Timothy Stadlmueller are you in Godspeed?

[@JFLOJUDO]

J. Montrice are you?

[@DarksydeRussian]

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 ♫

[@CookedTofu]

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.

[@SM-ex7ti]

THANK YOU. So much bs. People don't want to change up the way they eat- they'd rather see us all die for a piece of fucking steak. I'm a vegan not mainly for the animals...but for human survival. Thanks for sharing your comment, glad I'm not alone.

[@SM-ex7ti]

***** You don't know me, nor do I know you. If we had a conversation you would have a much better idea of me and what I stand for, but thanks for the personal attack I guess.

[@SM-ex7ti]

+Broham7 TF I feel bad for you that you are so easily annoyed. We don't announce it for others to hear but rather so we can connect as a community. We have to due to our tiny size. I will never force anyone to be vegan, nor yell in anyone's face. I'll simply chat about peer reviewed data. Have a good one.

[@paultje2small]

***** It's pretty relevant here m9

[@spencerj4677]

You're 100% right. Damn farmers. Fast food companies will never let it happen.

[@kjul.]

The ending made me cry ;__;

[@pointlessfailure]

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.

[@TheAmazingCapriSun]

Greenland is owned by Denmark so its up to Denmark :P

[@Jckiller122]

MrPsychoDog hey, if we're talking about the USA they'll just invade Greenland. USA do what it wants...I didn't mean for that to sound as a good thing

[@pointlessfailure]

MrPsychoDog yeah, fuck Demark, what are they going to do? Throw danishes at us? HAHAHAHAHA, that shit is good as ours. Got a bunch of guns and big assed women that'll fit real nice there.

[@TheAmazingCapriSun]

Johannes carling When it becomes a EU country like Denmark, it wouldnt be a bright idea to invade it as theirs many countries that are friendly and will help Denmark economically and military wise. When it becomes a country in the middle east its different as their not part of an organisation and countries in the middle east are afraid of USA. In the EU they're not so afraid and will kill if they have to.

[@TheAmazingCapriSun]

pointlessfailure Don't underestimate the Danes :P

[@CulturedWhiteBoy]

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

[@akashgoyal3667]

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!

[@jaelynnzee9091]

All around heart breaking episode. Truly.

[@spencerj4677]

Sad that nothing will never change despite all this proof.

[@TheDarkLordLucifer911]

Cristian Ponder One day hopefully the majority of those in power (for the majority of people already see it but can do nothing) will put the brakes on our destruction of our only home. Maybe when the climate change deniers saying nature is a 'hoax' realize there is only so much room on the spaceship to Mars will they realize that its the RIGHT thing to do to take care of earth and live in harmony with it.

[@doujin01]

Natus A Mort I doubt they will give a damn about it either if "or" when it will happen.

[@LeisuresuitAndy]

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.

[@greenland8376]

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

[@arialily6210]

Times were even worse then. 1000x more racism and slavery was common. Most people were poor & women were basically baby makers nothing else.

[@greenland8376]

Eva Lily I know this I really know this. You were fucked up back then if you just had a common flue... but the naive part of me wants to be there, in this idyllic world.

[@anonx111]

i think being in the 70's and 80's would be dope

[@REPSOLHONDARR]

WELL WE ALL WANT SOMETHING IN LIFE SO GET IN THE FUCKING LINE

[@micaiahw4522]

I mean if you're white.

[@spruill7716]

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

[@5FIVE6CHRIS]

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

[@Treebark1313]

My 60y/o history teacher in high school used the same term frequently, it's nothing new.

[@sveinungmagnussen8623]

i will never get tired of the intro

[@manassurya2019]

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

[@Ebb0Productions]

They can shoot them with their own AK-47s or bribe them or threaten them.

[@manassurya2019]

Ebb0Productions wow

[@Ebb0Productions]

Manas Surya ye its fucked :/

[@traviswhisman3231]

The 2 girls got kidnapped by 4 carloads of men it said at the end...like the cartels they obviously have basically an army

[@benjoblo]

Dear VICE, please make episode 1 available in Australia.

[@kalki202002]

HONY BROUGHT ME HERE

[@msoada]

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

[@AbrahamDakin]

Slave labour also exists in many western countries.

[@lo-fiFromChicago]

Such as?

[@vOyOr]

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?

[@vOyOr]

Oh, he's Canadian. Makes sense now.

[@PRTZLnet]

Inb4 climate change isn't real

[@hashimirfan4430]

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

Are you kidding me ?

Why not santa, the easter bunny, or magical elves?

[@bennydoesstuff407]

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

[@collinsmbaria1762]

HONY

[@MsMoflow]

Thank you for this episode

[@pero2727]

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.

[@bredafication]

But you'd have a massive influx of people who previously lived at sea level thus causing overpopulation and negatively affecting your standard of living

[@ThePissedNecromancer]

Adam Rockett got guns for that.

[@TheLegitBlade]

You'll still suffer from the horrible weather, low oxygen, disease, famine, and humans in their most depraved forms.

[@nightsage217]

people who loses something likely to ROB off people who has it. Land mass in this case.

"Millions of people die but I can get more money so its not my problem"

[@daysofhalcyon]

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

[@Morbidia]

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.

[@Crossess]

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

[@gusbuschambers]

This shot is great--informing

[@stuessyman]

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

[@cassandra9581]

God Speed You Black Emperor - East Hastings. The part played in the VICE video plays somewhere around 5 minutes into the actual song.

[@KaSpAsArK]

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

[@Radazure]

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.

[@williamwheeler1970]

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

[@zomars]

Shout out to Humans of New York!

[@Potaterfilms]

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

[@chauna5413]

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

[@Crustyto3z]

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

[@gregorybertrand645]

Does anyone know what the song is that played in the Greenland segment?

[@FriendlyLlama]

I wanna know too. ;/ Sounds so cool.

[@FriendlyLlama]

[@iampkhacker]

Godspeed You Black Emperor - East Hastings you're welcome.

[@TheFacelessStoryMaker]

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.

[@zomm1891]

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

[@ushanair513]

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

[@richdalziel4498]

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

[@IanAC]

The music sounds like the soundtrack from 28 Day Later

[@TheyCallMeConor]

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.

[@cordovalark5295]

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.

[@havilahgold2942]

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.

[@havilahgold2942]

Havilah Gold We have our hand in it as well, but not to the degree left wingers say...without evidence.

[@sage0x]

Havilah Gold Where's your evidence to support your claim? Almost every scientist agrees that this climate change 100% man made. But you know better than them?

[@havilahgold2942]

Actually you're wrong. We do have something to do with global warming no about it. But to say that 100% of warming is caused by humans is pure garbage. If the earth has had 5 ice ages, how did it warm warm up last time? Did fairy dust do it?

[@gaiuscaeruliusverusallectu3998]

Havilah Gold You are mostly right, except that humans have a huge stake in this deed, there are so many people, burning fossil fuels, via cars and large factories, not to mention deforestation, farming exhausts and so on, it is a highly unstable enforcer of the natural cycle of warming. It is way more unpredictable and extreme these modern climate changes than the past calmer cyclic climate changes, such that we and other animals cannot adapt to them. That's why it's a big problem.

[@Brentjr94]

shima There is not a single scientist in existence that claims climate change to be 100% man-made. People like you exaggerating the facts are why people like Havilah Gold exist

[@Justice782]

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

[@CptPunisher]

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

[@danielm6739]

intresting thank you vice

[@floted]

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?

[@tunnis7us]

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

[@VictorChevalier69]

I love Vice....Someone needs to interview this dude on the environmental problems ...Cowspiracy: The Sustainability Secret is a groundbreaking feature-length environmental documentary following intrepid filmmaker Kip Andersen as he uncovers the most destructive industry facing the planet today - and investigates why the world’s leading environmental organizations are too afraid to talk about it.

[@kokocipher]

Wow... Vice is so awesome

[@masonkuhlmann7286]

Most sea level rise is actually due to thermal expansion of ocean waters, not melting ice caps

[@TankNSSpank]

/could anyone tell me what's the music that is played at the end? Thank you

[@TankNSSpank]

Ashim Osmani Thank you so much!

[@TankNSSpank]

***** Ashim got the song. But still thank you!

[@guriinii]

Will Sirius, I cannot see this reply, can you tell me what it is? I know it and it's really bugging me.

[@TankNSSpank]

Richard Green The name is Godspeed You Black Emperor - East Hastings

[@guriinii]

Aaaah of course, love a bit of Godspeed. Dead Flag Blues is my favourite

[@sheppard3767]

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

[@noonereallymattersbutcats9674]

The corporations should be held responsible

[@InKa4484]

is there a season 3?

[@michaelcrawford310]

People always talk melting ice. What about the number and size of artificial islands being built? The number of boats large and small put into the water? Trash, waste, sewage, dust, soil, fish poop, dead sea animals of all sorts, buoys, docks, and so on?

[@tanvirrahman9804]

i am proud of your work. cheers

[@xXSelastiosXx]

Why are there comments denying global warming? It's not as if there is even a debate about it anymore in the scientific community. The only debate is about how fast it will go, not about if it is a thing or not.

[@DaLoubK]

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

[@legoman7041]

Don't forget that it was the white snow that put the black ice there. Let's not forget who's at fault.

[@anders7050]

This guy is one of the best journalist!

[@2wdr5]

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

[@zoetropes4010]

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

[@rahulkumar-uf3si]

what is the soundtrack used at 10:17 ?

[@Rockforce80]

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

[@Metaphix]

Man he has the best job in the world... camp out next to glaciers and watch caving events... Traveling across the world

[@MrRobbPhoenix]

Sea level rise- no one wins. Except countries with large ice sheets such as Greenland, we are just making more usable land for them.

[@donaldbrangan9825]

6 years later and it’s worst when will it stop?

[@ROFLCOPTER195]

Almost every VICE documentary I see makes me question further why humans deserve a place on this planet.

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

[@lsowner10]

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

[@FluThre3X]

where is episode 3?

[@chookthecook4958]

man canada will be like a green desert in like 40 years hot and dry instead of nice and cold with snow

[@lukemilton1964]

I love Vice!

[@davidanthony7650]

Odd part I found... It was reported that sea level is rising faster than predictions, but when I was in elementary school in the middle 90's, we we'd told the east coast of the US would be underwater by 2015.

[@1Schrankwand]

there isnt just one prediction, and btw elementary school isnt a valueable source when it comes to science :D

[@tonylightheaded7946]

That's American education that why you are all so smart

[@davidanthony7650]

1Schrankwand that prediction was from Al Gore, who said Arctic ice would be gone in 2013. Also, climate predictions are wrong 97.4% of the time according to the Nature Climate Change, a peer reviewed journal. But I'm sure you clowns know better.
