One area that you're particularly passionate about is the ocean. You and your son Mark co-founded Ocean X, which focuses on exploring, researching, and above all, protecting the ocean. What impact is the changing climate having on the ocean?

Um, beyond raising temperatures, tell us more about why you think the ocean's so important.

Well, the ocean is absorbing about 90% of the excess heat, and it's absorbing about 23% of the excess carbon that's being produced. So, it's important. It also has the effect of shifting sea currents and so on, so it's going to have a big effect.

The ocean is our biggest thing. It's twice the size of all land combined, and so it's ignored because it's just below the surface. But it has an enormous impact. Its health and the discovery of what's in the ocean is not only very important, but it's also very exciting.

However, it's being largely neglected. So, we're excited to help the exploration and bring it to the public's attention the way Jacques Cousteau did.
