Watch the Premiere of 'VICE' on HBO Season 3 Right Now

Our oceans are rising. With human use of hydrocarbons skyrocketing, waters around the globe are getting hotter and, now, this warm sub-surface water is washing into Antarctica's massive western glaciers causing the glaciers to retreat and break off.

Antarctica holds 90 percent of the world's ice and 70 percent of its freshwater, so if even a small fraction of the ice sheet in Antarctica melts, the resulting sea level rise will completely remap the world as we know it — and it is already happening. In the last decade, some of the most significant glaciers here have tripled their melt rate.

In the season three premiere of our show that aired on HBO last Friday, VICE founder Shane Smith travels to the bottom of the world to investigate the instability of the West Antarctic ice sheet and to see first hand how the continent is melting. We also track the impact that rising oceans are having in Bangladesh, catching a glimpse into the world's underwater future.

From the UN Climate conference to the People's Climate March to the forces that deny the science of global climate change, this special extended episode covers all sides of the issue and all corners of the globe, ending with a special interview with Vice President Joe Biden.

Watch VICE Fridays at on HBO at 11PM, 10PM Central.
