  • NASA just released a study showing that Antarctica is actually gaining ice at a faster rate than it’s losing it. Will this rise in ice help keep global warming at bay?

    NASA Study: Mass Gains of Antarctic Ice Sheet Greater than Losses
    www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/n...
    “A new NASA study says that an increase in Antarctic snow accumulation that began 10,000 years ago is currently adding enough ice to the continent to outweigh the increased losses from its thinning glaciers.”
    Is Sea Level Rising?
    oceanservice.noaa.gov/educatio...
    “Sea level indicators suggest that global sea level did not change significantly from then until the late 19th century. The instrumental record of modern sea level change shows evidence for onset of sea level rise during the 19th century.”

What would be the knock on effects of a decreasing population? What would be the impact on societies, world over from the elimination of long distance travel. How would food get to tables? Would the economies of the world collapse and send us into chaos and war. Simple fix -- maybe -- but what new problems would be the result? I am always reminded of Yellowstone and the problems humans created by trying to save it. If we can't figure out how to properly manage something of that scale I can't believe we have a full handle on the complexity of climate change and what the consequences of a simple fix might be? Frankly I have more faith in the planet and the environment itself healing its wounds and fighting off infection (us) than I do in humans being smart enough to ever consider every consequence of our actions, well intentioned or not. #hubris

      +GheyForGames The surface ice is receding into the oceans. Think of this as Ice A into Water B. As the earth continues its seasonal cycle the, the water B freezes into Ice B. Ice B freezes along with Ice A making thicker ice. However, these the centuries old ice caps are still in a regular recession. As we lose Ice A, we get more ice B in the water around Antarctica while the Ice A recedes at a faster rate because the ice B weathers away the ice A.
      On top of all of this, the melting of Ice A, is still happening at a faster rate than the pack back from ice B.

      Ciroluiro it's more ice in the water around the continental body. Antarctica is a desert and rarely sees more snowfall/ice pack on the actual ground.
      The ground ice is still melting. It's this melting that's creating a more freeze friendly environment around then continent.
      Because the any ice build is from water already off the mainland, the thicker ice would not impact water levels.

Furthermore increased CO2 in the atmosphere will help to hold in more of that heat.

      @EncinoRecords 7 років тому +7

      sea levels are rising because more water is flowing from rivers into the oceans, logically, indicating the primary causes would be higher than average rain/snow fall and higher than average melting of landed ice like glaciers. its rather rudimentary actually. the causes of that would be higher than average temperatures and stronger than average storms, both indicate global warming as the main cause. so the question is whats causing the warming. again, the science is rather clear its the co2, along with other greenhouse gases like methane and water vapor meaning human caused increases in co2 are part of it, but the exact amount is debatable because human activity is on some level compensated for by the environment. so the question is simply how much is the cup over flowing by and thats rather trivial at the end of the day.

      Solar cycles, Ocean circulation cycles, carbon cycles in ocean life, terrestrial biologic carbon sources, the capture of Co2 during mountain weathering and erosion, Plate tectonic processes (including volcanism) , Human contributions, Axial tilt and precision cycles, orbital eccentricity cycles, and the albedo cooling effect (possibly related to ice cover in this video).

It seems all of these processes are very complex, I don’t really think a layperson like us can just guess it all away with an idea like ‘the ice will reflect the sun and balance it out’.

      Mark Grant Scientists have estimated that the Greenland ice sheet is between 400,000 and 800,000 years old. This means that the island today is unlikely to have been markedly different when Europeans settled there. However, there is evidence that the settled areas were warmer than today, with large birch woodlands providing both timber and fuel. This warmth coincided with the period known as the Medieval Climatic Anomaly, also known as the Medieval Warm Period, which can be further learnt about here: goo.gl/HSNZv
      So how did Greenland get its name? According to the Icelandic sagas, Erik the Red named it Greenland in an attempt to lure settlers in search of land and the promise of a better life. However, the age of the ice sheet, which is more than 3 kilometers thick in places and covers 80% of Greenland, proves that the opportunities to establish communities would have been limited to rather small areas.

      Mark Grant New Danish research from the University of Copenhagen shows that large parts of Greenland were covered by forest. This was discovered by analyzing fossil DNA which had been preserved under the kilometer-thick icecap. The DNA-traces are likely close to 450,000 years old, and that means that Greenland was also covered in a large ice sheet 125,000 years ago during the earth's last warm period. This was while the climate was 5 degrees warmer than the inter glacial period we currently live in, the implication of which is that global warming will not impact glacial melt in Greenland and by extension, global sea-level rise.

      But we now know that Greenland is in fact melting at an unprecedented rate. The introduction of any glacial ice from above sea level, will in turn add to sea levels. Also the desalination of the surrounding waters lowers the waters freezing level, ultimately increasing the amount of sea ice around Greenland. The same problem is plaguing the Antarctic.

      Mark Grant Dude, why am I not surprised you fail at history as well as science. Greenland and Icelane were named, respectively, as early Nordic 'propaganda'. Greenland was named such to attract settlers to a very cold and inhospitable land. Iceland was named to deter settlers and invaders. Each was named for its opposite real life conditions. These are historical facts anyone learns in high school history.

      WestOfEarth I mentioned this in my first reply to him:
      _"According to the Icelandic sagas, Erik the Red named it Greenland in an attempt to lure settlers in search of land and the promise of a better life. However, the age of the ice sheet, which is more than 3 kilometers thick in places and covers 80% of Greenland, proves that the opportunities to establish communities would have been limited to rather small areas."_
      *"These are historical facts anyone learns in high school history."* I never learn't this in history class, Icelandic history isn't a part of the Australian curriculum.

      Rick Groen True is what you said, but you know probably the saying "That's the tip of the iceberg." suggesting that there is more hidden under. And that is the actual case with ice and there is displacement which could be tested simply by having a full cup of water and putting ice in it then some water will be spilled. Frozen freshwater is replacing frozen saltwater, as the video has mentioned, and that is what I said might be the cause for sea level rise.

    • @monab1597
      @monab1597 7 років тому

      Malcolm Smith It is true that salt water is denser, but when frozen, in practice, it gets less dense than frozen fresh water because more air is trapped inside. Here is a reference on that: antoine.frostburg.edu/chem/senese/101/solutions/faq/saltwater-ice-volume.shtml

    • @malcolmsmith6380
      @malcolmsmith6380 7 років тому

      Watashi Monabehi I didn't think you meant frozen saltwater not that i knew it was less dense anyway.
      Though If the ice is on land or pushing down on the sea bed then if the same volume of frozen water rather than salt water would otherwise displace more water that would actually mean lower sea levels than you would have otherwise?
      Maybe its just volume on average increasing as temperature rises? But i could well be wrong as sub 4 degrees a rising temperature would make it more dense.

    If we imagine the ice caps as really heavy like tones of weight all being forced down on land. If that land is like a sponge getting compressed by the weight, then as less weight is on top of the ice caps maybe the land underneath the ice caps would raise a little maybe even more volcanoes would erupt under water creating more land... meaning that as the ice caps melt the weight would be spread out meaning land raises increasing the sea levels for this reason also. That would be my guess if water is rising more then expected.

If the Earth was closer to the sun then it would be warmer and if it would be furter away it would be colder. That's a fact. Mercury is basically a crisp, but it's not hot enough to melt everything there. Besides distance is not the only factor affecting temperature. Venus is further from the sun, but is hotter than Mercury, because of it's thick atmosphere containing lot's of greenhouse gasses. Mars is really cold compared to Earth, because of it's atmosphere being really thin. The amount of heat absorbed decreases exponentially with the distance, meaning if you double the distance the incoming radiation from the sun is one quarter.

    That is ridiculous, sea levels have been rising for about 12,000yrs, since the end of the last glaciation, and beginning of this interglacial period. So far it has risen, on average, about 400ft. For around 100,000yrs, the oceans were up to 400ft. lower than now. They are presently rising at an approximate rate of 6 inches every 100yrs, and have been rising slower than they were. And, by the way, we have been in an Ice Age that started approximately 20 million years ago, when Antarctica was reglaciated, and are still in that ice age. It did not end, we will be in the ice age as long as there are ice sheets on the planet. Note: When Antarctica was being buried under glaciers, the average world temperature was the same as now, at the coldest point in Antarctica's glaciation. People should search for "EPICA Ice Core Temperature Plot", it is very informative.

      +kgbme When you are dealing with climate, you have to deal in geographic time references, one of our lifetimes is just a blink of the eye to the planet and its climate. The ice core temperature record says it is more likely that we will have a continued oscillation of 100,000yrs super cold, then 15,000-25,000yrs of warmth, like now. These periods vary, of course, but we are very likely to experience "mini-ice-ages" and more full blown "glaciation periods". The last glaciation period, (that ended 12,000yrs ago), was the longest one in the last 500,000yrs and the last interglacial period was the hottest in the same time frame. We get these figures from the study of ice and geologic core samples. The latest "Ice Age" started about 20 million years ago, during the "Antarctic Reglaciation Period".

      'Non-scientific' , what are you smoking. These studies and research are using all the scientific methods we have to develop these studies and theories.
      Now as to your various claims about 20 million years ago, 200,000 years ago, etc etc. Few issues with that. 1. 20 million years ago, the planet was not exactly a friendly environment to live on. In fact it is entirely possible that humanity and civilization as we know it would be nigh impossible to develop in that environment. The Earth also used to be completely volcanic, we don't want it to go back to that state. So acting like it is no big deal if we go back to that period is kind of foolish.
      2. Scientists have factored the very things you have commented on. It is the fact that these trends are going outside the norms that brings up the concern. They know and have spoken of the oscillation and orbital changes of the planet, they have never denied the earth has been hotter, but those times were also before human's were walking around. They are not saying the Earth will explode if Global warming increases, just that we may not be around anymore if it does. Or at least that we could suffer a massive loss of life.
      3. Going off the latest scientific knowledge, ensuring the study has been peer reviewed from multiple sources, and being concerned about the results, is not being a sheep or lemming. No more than it is if you believe your doctor when they say you have cancer, especially if that is the cesnsus after a second or third opinion. Same as claiming that its all a grand conspiracy for a fascist takeover, just because you can't understand the data or the context doesn't not make you a conspiracy theory nut job.
      4. 'Attempts to cool the planet', at no point has any scientist I have ever heard talked about an active attempt to 'cool' the planet. All the scientist have wanted is to minimize humanity's impact on the environment so that it returns to normal levels and continues on its natural course. That would not cause anything to occur early or late.

What scientists are saying is that if the climate continues on its current course it will have a catastrophic on the planet and our species. These are the same scientists, mind you, that found and analyzed the data you are spewing out and have a much better handle on understanding it than you do. The Earth's climate continues, as you are claiming, in normally predictable patterns. What they are seeing NOW is that it is not going in that same predictable pattern.

    Water is a diamagnetic material. It shouldn’t be affected a magnetic field. The Earth is currently undergoing a geomagnetic reversal. The thermal motion of some of the partially charged atoms in the water. This increased magnetic field is giving rise to Lorentz forces in the water making the oceans slightly magnetic. Therefore, the increased positively charged water molecules in the North are migrating to the more negatively charged molecules at the South Pole. There should be evidence of this in the Northern hemisphere, including increased droughts, volcanism/plate tectonic activity, increased extinction of species that rely on magnetic fields for migration, etc. Those are my thoughts.

      A majority of people will not allow themselves to understand a system this complex. Their thought process stops at "It's cold out, so GW cannot exist"

      +Nick Hare I imagine people going to war over the land that is ultimately less affected by the climate change or taking aggression on the companies involved than adapting/fixing the problem.
      pretty sure we're fucked.

      +Nick Hare Do you know how much it would cost to reduce the global temp by 2 degrees? About 300 billion dollars. It's called cloud whitening, a couple thousand ships spraying sea water into the air. More white cloud cover = higher reflection of solar radiation. No need to spend 800 billion a year on research and no need to reduce carbon output.

    the thing is when we are having summer season,
    its winter at antartica.

    As a lover of science I always say go back to the data. When I look at the data I notice the rise of sea level is a straight line. No acceleration. None. No acceleration despite Al Gore's, or Hanson's predictions. For the past 20 years. Do you know, scientifically, what the significance of that is?

      Cryptonymicus Scientists and scientific news outlets usually give people the cold facts about new research in basic terms. So there's no need for advanced degrees. It's how we choose to interpret those facts. Sadly too many people get their information from news outlets that aren't specifically scientific in nature so instead of getting facts they get opinion. The issue with that is they end up running around the internet spewing false garbage.
      This is why when you ask for example, climate change deniers, they always spew misunderstood or cherry picked information that their sources had.
      So when I say do your own research, I mean go read scientific papers, instead of watching FOX news versions of science news. That is if you want facts to make your own decisions instead of blindly repeating misinformation.

      Cryptonymicus Not all scientific papers are as complicated as people think. Then again you're right. Someone attempting to read them should know at least a little bit about the subject before even attempting that.

    Shouldn't the sea ice melt first rather than freeze considering salt ice freezes at a lower temperature? I would expect an expansion of fresh ice frozen and a increase of salt ice melting.
    but it seems that the opposite has happened.

    bro the ice is cracking down into the sea and the volume of the ice mountains is decreasing just check google earth now and before u will see the huge difference
    there is global warming and it is affecting not only ice but also earth and farming it is affecting weather changes and increasing catastrophic winter and heat ....

    I know this video is old - but it helps with clarification. Right or wrong, I gleaned from this the idea while the Antarctic ice might be increasing by mass, its mass of the type of ice is not the same as our ecosystem needs. Kinda like a guy who loses a leg and gets a prosthetic - the 'new' leg is there, but it's not the same.
