Antarctica : What happens if the 'Doomsday' Glacier collapses?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 бер 2020
- Antarctica is home to some of the world's largest ice sheets and glaciers. They existed in a stable equilibrium of ebb and flow for millions of years until global warming started to melt them faster than the snow falls could replenish their ice. Now a new US / UK research collaboration has discovered that the rate of melt is even worse than scientists feared. What's driving this latest acceleration, and can we slow it down?

The earth has always evolved and never stayed the same. To think we can change it or keep it from changing is ludacrise.
there is a proven hole in the ozone layer over south pole since 70's - satellites proved it; reduced levels of CFCs worldwide have helped ---- nothing is impossible
No, it isn't ludacris, it's a fact of objective reality.
You denying something you have no understanding of and thinking that will make it not happen, is ludacris.
You're clearly not a smart person.
@@pjo2386 I think you need to do better research. The government site says it won't be fully repaired till 2050. The ozone layer was not discovered until 1974. So they have no prior record of it, to compare any changes prior. And they do state that certain weather condition can effect it. Also in the 70's the experts were telling us that we were heading towards a small ice age. Then in the 80's global warming. Go figure.
@@fallof67 🪵
I didn't insult you.
@@fallof67 yep, i should have checked before I wrote, the hole didnt heal, but did reduce some years ago:
HOWEVER. THE WHOLE of the WORLDS GOVTS TOOK ACTION. which proves there is the unity to work together. Banning CFC's helped; CFCs isnt the only cause.
Sea, land, air temps are rising sharply - thats proven by world amateur meteorologists - no conspiracy
Mans sin is a greater evil than burning carbon.
Just came back in December 2021 to rewatch this after this week's news of the unexpectedly rapid melting of the Thwaites ice sheet and its potential of being gone within 5 years. I think an updated report on Thwaites could be very timely.
These ice shields melt 20 times faster than scientists have thought. I think the sea level rising 9 feet is imminent. And even more sea level raisings in the future. Think Mt. Arawat and Noah's Ark.
Comeback again next year summer, it probably melting even faster. Scary times ahead.
Thankfully I live 750m amsl,
However, on the nearby coast the authorities have just completed a very expensive new bridge over an estuary. According to the engineers the bridge has a 100 year design life and they factored into the design a 1 m rise in sea level over that time.
Every news show always says it’s not too late to act, we can stop this. The truth might be that nothing we do is going to stop this.
@@fkindirtyhippie8853 I honestly have been thinking we are screwed at this point no matter what we do. I also wonder why they never factor in the sea level rise could also be speeding up the melt. I never hear about, the possibility of every inch of sea level rise could x10 the melt rate. I hope someone understands what I mean.
I remember in the early 90's when they were saying the Thames flood barrier would fail by 2015 and by 2020 London would have a sub Siberian climate and the Maldives would be gone by 2010. Aahhh those were the days.
kiribati is the first island group to disapear.. they don have any fresh water and relocate to new zealand
@@remkovdb the Kiribati Islands are still there. What about the east island that re formed after hurricane walaka?. Years of phosphate mining and no natural fresh water source means yes they have to depend on de sal machines. So far no one has been relocated as it is a proposed plan should the islands disappear over the next 80 years.
Not where I studied earth science. It’s accelerating faster than we predicted.. The warming that is.
@@boathemian7694 see you in 10 years time for a pint. Let's see what has changed then.

How To Live In Harmony With Nature And Reduce Pollution
1. Many Production Companies Which We Do Not Need Actually For Human Beings Has To Be Stopped
We manufacture so many products and it is creating pollution. So if we minimise our products, pollution would be less.
We produce so many things which we do not need, like cold drinks, leather products, potato wafers, chips, fruit juices, chocolates, biscuits, pickles, ice creams, etc.
Cold drinks, fruit juices, chocolates, biscuits, pickles, ice creams, etc. should be cooked at home only. If we stopped producing this things which are not required for humans, so much pollution could be reduced.
If we colour the clothes pollution occurs. So if we don't colour our clothes, the pollution resulting from colouring the clothes can be stopped. Let everything remain in white natural colour.
2. We Should Cook Foods In Its Natural Form
We can cook rice and wheat in our homes and eat it. Rice and Wheat is produced in farms. Then it is packed and transported to big warehouses, then wholesalers buy from them and supply to retail shops.
But if a manufacturing company makes bread from rice and wheat, then to make bread a manufacturing company has to be set up, machines and working staffs are needed. When a company is built many other things are also needed. Then at last a plastic pack is required to pack the breads.
So if we start cooking eatable things in its natural form then we do not need many companies like bread manufacturing company, tomato ketchup, noodles, fruit jam, pizza, burger, etc., the things required for the company and the plastic pack, paper box pack and glass bottles. If done like this, so many companies will not be required and hence less pollution for the world.
Also we could save our money like this. If you buy a packet of bread, it would cost you more money than if you cook wheat and rice in home.
Previously before industrial revolution, we didn't have technology, but our foods were rich with nutrients. Now we have technology, but technology is polluting our foods and our foods are not rich with nutrients, and because of that also we have health problems.
If this is done, then many jobs would be lost. For that many peoples should do farming and they should be given loans if they do not have enough money to start farming on their own.
Food, Medicines, Surgeries and Education's should be made free to the world till the world settles down with farming. After that food, medicines, surgeries and education's should be stopped free to the world.
Many people should study botany subject so that they have knowledge of plants and they should do farming.
Is their any another solution, that humans won't lose jobs and also pollution would decrease. Humans have to take this step certainly instead of going on polluting the earth, making wildlife extinct and also mass extinctions of humans in future.
3. Electricity Pollution
We create electricity from many types of sources like coal, water, etc., but it creates pollution. If electricity created from windmill and solar energy then no pollution occurs in the creation process. But still to manufacture windmill and solar machines pollution would occur.
As I previously said that if we shut down many manufacturing companies which are producing things which are not needed for humans, then the world would not require so much electricity. If less electricity required, then less pollution generated.
4. Could We Stop Drinking Cow's and Buffalo's Milk
Whatever vitamins and nutrients we get from milk, if we can get it from other eatable things, then we can stop drinking cow's and buffalo's milk. As milk has to be packed in glass bottles and plastic packs and then transported to places. All of this can be stopped.
For infants whose mother's have died or mother's who cannot breast feed their infants, only for them cow's and buffalo's milk should be given. We use milk in tea and coffee. Instead of milk we must use lime with tea and coffee or just plain tea and coffee. A lime should be cut into a few pieces and cooked with tea and coffee or something else can be used instead of lime.
5. How Much Should Be The World's Population
Every place should have a single house. No buildings, everything ground floor. If we do this and the whole lands of our planet earth would be occupied one day with homes, farms, forests, schools, hospitals, etc., then we would come to know how much our planet earth can have maximum population.
Once the population is determined, then we have to maintain that population. For example if our earth can have a population of 10 billion peoples, then when the population reaches 10 billion, then everyone should have only one child till the population reaches 9 billion peoples. As if we have only one child then the population decreases. When population is 9 billion peoples, then everyone should have 2 children's till the population reaches 10 billion peoples. After that again we should have only one child. In this way population can be maintained.
😎👍...they want to go to Mars so they can have all new things to complain about
Just the news I needed to cheer me up in these hard times
I heard a rumour that Covid-19 can't infect you if you're immersed a few metres down in salty ocean water so this might be a +ve cheery thing. Mind you it might just be a variant of the old Bath hot springs cures gout, warts, indigestion & chronic stupidity thing.
Just think of all the coral reefs that will grow in submerged cities. And all the landfill trash that will float around.
A bunch of know nothings telling you about an oversimplified spook story is hardly the worst thing you ever have to endure.
The scary part is that there are idiots that believe this silliness with the faith of a cloistered nun.
Can't wait hope the Arks built in time 😂🤣😂
@JZ's Best Friend not with the next new GM covid strains!
But we do have about 10 or more Vaccines to try out.. I'm sure one will work, the way our Saviour bill gates!
It seems that human's inability to comprehend human extinction will lead to human extinction.
Man, I'm glad I'm not an elitist who bought an oceanfront mansion.
LOL, they are not interested in selling them, continue to build more. Are they stupid or are those who listen to alarmists?
That's like saying, "I'm glad I bought a third-class ticket to the Titanic instead of wasting money on a first-class ticket like those elitists." It's bad for everyone everywhere. Their insurance claim on their summer home might not be as important as securing fresh drinking water or relocating the farms that produce nearly a third of the world's food.
People are just ignorant and listen to political lies then use their politics as a substitute for actual science. The ocean level has not risen to any significant degree, but the tidal motions have changed a bit which is an entirely different cause and effect. BTW, insurance premiums on those ocean front properties is not rising beyond inflation and the rest of the goods and services sold. That tells me everything I need to know.

I didn’t (couldn’t) go the full distance but I don’t think there was any mention of the volcanic activity in the area. 138 volcanoes must be having an effect, yeah?
Very true that is another real factor!
Oh haven’t you heard. Volcanos don’t cause any problems with the atmosphere. It’s all man made
And solar flares or other ejections from the sun are seldom, if ever, mentioned by the environmental wackos.
Volcanic activity is at low levels

Extremely good narration. Thanks.
Fantastic graphics. Well done.
In a February 13 * article, the newspaper "The Guardian" announced that the temperature had reached 20.75 ° C on Seymour Island (north of the Antarctic Peninsula) on February 9 at 1:00 p.m., thus establishing a new absolute heat record for Antarctica. The news was immediately picked up by all the media (national and international) and widely disseminated in all media and on social networks.
The British newspaper, undoubtedly in need of scoops, once again demonstrated manifest disinformation by not verifying its sources or by deliberately (or "involuntarily" omitting to insist on the incompetence of its journalists) an technical detail, which for once is not one! No doubt he even felt compelled to adorn himself with a certain credibility by announcing a temperature to two decimal places and by presenting a temperature curve which omits to specify that it is the result of a set of data from 2 different sensors.
In short, after checking with the official weather services (thank you Max!), There is actually no Brazilian station on Seymour Island, but only the Marambio base (managed by the Argentinian weather services) where the temperature has not officially exceeded 15.5 ° C on February 9, after a maximum of 15.8 ° C reached three days earlier (on 6)! However, a temperature of more than 20 ° C was recorded on February 9 by Brazilian scientists near the Marambio base as part of geological research, but from a sensor placed 1 m above the ground , i.e. under conditions of measurement that do not comply with international WMO standards (the sensor must be placed inside a shelter at a minimum standard height of 1.5 m above the ground).
Unfortunately, the denial of the newspaper (and of all the press in general) will not come (as always) and even if it were to come, the evil has already spread in the collective conscience ...
It is therefore worth remembering that the absolute heat record for the Antarctic is still 19.8 ° C recorded on January 30, 1982 on Signy Island in the South Orkney archipelago (located 650 km to the east-northeast of the northern tip of the Antarctic Peninsula).
On the other hand, this should not minimize the extremely hot episode which has touched in recent days the northern end of the Antarctic peninsula: the maximum temperature of 18.4 ° C recorded on February 9, 2020 on the Esperanza base (Argentine station) constitutes the highest temperature ever recorded in Antarctica for a month of February (previous record: 16.2 ° C on February 26, 1974 on Signy Island) and an absolute record of heat for continental Antarctica, that is to say - say off Signy Island. In addition, the temperature did not drop below 7.6 ° C over a 24 hour period on February 10 at the Marambio base (2nd highest minimum temperature ever recorded in Antarctica) and 6.1 ° C on 7 February at Esperanza base (3rd highest Tmin in Antarctica). In addition, the temperature did not drop below 0 ° C for 6.5 days in Marambio (from February 6 to 12) and more than 8 days in Esperanza since February 6 (series still in progress)!

Lets us not forget Antarctica has just had its coldest ever winter in 2021.....the ice is getting thicker and not melting...
Great video, thank you.
Thank you for a very lucid and concerned explanation.
Shut up!
When I was very young I can remember smog in London in the winter it could be so thick as to be almost impossible to go anywhere . It was caused by London’s population burning coal in their homes . As the sixties dawned and coal fires were done away with the famous London pea soupers went as well . So from my point of view the air in the city is cleaner than its ever been . But saying that I’ve watched wildlife like birds and butterflies disappear in large numbers every year . In fact the London sparrow which thrived through the murky industrial revolution have more or less gone they started in the 80s to go and by 2005 it was gone . It was so prolific it was called the cockney sparrow ,,, I lived next to a park in central London and a population of parakeets that that have thrived since the release of a couple of pairs now are in the thousands . I wondered if some of this was related to disasters like Chernobyl which we didn’t find out till years later spread a cloud of waste all over Europe . Jump forward I now live in an area of southern France in an area who’s farming methods haven’t changed for two hundred years basically sheep in natural meadow no chemicals . And over the last fifteen years I’ve witnessed the loss of wildlife . I don’t see that as being caused by a slight increase in temperature. .. plus a German study found a huge decrease in insects .
Pesticides the war on nature which is an undeclared war on ourselves is doing its job it should be stopped and a truce and then Peace declared and a new Balance with Nature Declaration
lead in that smog got into your brain mate
Sherlock Holmes was live back then
That glacier going out now would be better than later. IT would save the world. Yes, people would die and land would be lost, but I'd like to see politicians talk their way out of that.
When the ice melts just move to antarctica problem solved !!
Very good presentation, great graphics. In connection with rising sea levels, in addition to more frequent storm surges you should also mention that for every metre of sea level rise there may be roughly 100 m of landward incursion of the sea, and of course much accelerated coastal erosion. Just try and visualise coastal urban areas if all properties within 100m of the high tide level - houses, commercial buildings, roads, railways, waste treatment plants - became unusable/uninsurable through a combination of higher tide levels every day and more frequent storm damage!
Not sure how to imagine that however the earth goes through stages on its own there's proof of that from ruins being miles out in the ocean underwater how did they get there why would they be there and they are ruins that are thousands of years old so that with the mini ice age that happened during George Washington's day up to the Risen see Waters of the 1930s in the 1800's another time. I don't under percent believe in global warming I think the globe does it anyway and it's just on a path that is irreversible I mean think about it when the dinosaurs ruled the Earth the whole world was tropical then we went in Ice Age we came out of the Ice Age we've had many ice ages since small ones not as hardcore people if you ask me this is a lot of this is propaganda just to scare you into doing things they want you to do it's something that's going to happen regardless here it's irreversible and it will freeze over again one day it's just how it works
50cm sea level rise means NO FRESH WATER from rivers and lakes near the coast. Everglades in Florida will disappear. Fresh water will become more expensive then printer ink.

While desalinization is expensive, it's not anything like that, and you'll always be able to buy bottled spring water, although to paraphrase Lewis Black, that shits not really "spring" water, it's just an old couple in Pittsburgh that sits in their bathtub, and fills these fuckers up ;?)

Low Sunspot periods are also responsible for Plagues of rats, Mice, Locusts and Pandemics.
Unluckily Nasa said the warm period we have been in since 1750 ended in 2016. By my reckoning if a warm period has ended then we are in a cold period?
Locusts, Mice and Rats along with many other things like Pandemics love cool periods and have for centuries.

I lived on Kwajalein Island in 1958-'59. Most of the Marshall Islands are hardly more than 3' above sea level, at the most. The sea level rise caused by the collapse of Thwaite's Glacier will make the vast majority of those islands uninhabitable. That's some 59,000 people who will be displaced and will have to learn entirely new lifestyles.
Hi John! So true!!! I was staying 21 days in a motel in 2010 near me while my apt bldg was getting new plumbing. The lady who would clean my room said she was from a tiny island in the South Pacific pop 12,000. She said then, now 12 yrs ago, they all had to move because of sea level rise. She moved to Guam and married a sailor stationed there. He was head of maintenance for the bldg. She said Australia took 75 people, and New Zealand a few, but that's it and not sure where the others moved to. Very sad. She spoke the native language of her island. I can't imagine all the change and upheaval she'd been through and having to do motel room cleaning to survive.

I can't wait till I can move to Antarctica. Thats why I keep my truck running all the time.
Hurricane season 2020 has been pretty rough so far.
A decrease in global dimming could be a huge factor this year, make this even worse. After September 11, 2001, all aircraft over the US were grounded, and there was an unexpected spike in temperature. With more research, they realized that the effect of global warming has been slightly mitigated by the constant reflectivity of airplane contrails.
We're currently dropping air travel rates worldwide, due to the COVID-19 virus. Will it be enough of a decrease to remove a significant amount of the masking effect of global dimming? I'm waiting to find out. Unlike the majority of warming effects, dropping out aircraft from our global equation has an instantaneous effect. it wouldn't surprise me if we end up with an insanely warm spring and summer, a real spike that surprises everyone in the scientific community. Brace yourselves ...
On top of that we could be facing another El Nino. That could also add to atmospheric heating. 20/20 is sure shaping up to be an interesting year. Near Term Human Extinction is looking more ...
So, in a sense we've been accidentally geoengineering for decades. A spike in temperature would be a bit of good news oddly: wake up denialists and giving a green light to deliberate geoengineering.
When they grounded all aircraft in the US after 9/11 for just 4-5 days, the air cleared and the average temps over the US went up by 1.1oC...!!!!

So, tell me again why we should believe scientists with an agenda? I say this with a degree in physics; the math isn't there for the disease. Is it there for the climate? maybe, but don't go drawing false comparisons.
@@geraldfrost4710 - Agreed. And, No.. they're not correct about the climate either. It's less than comforting how far off the mark the "experts" are on these and many other issues.

I wanna know what is under the ice. For one. For two, if we know the waters gonna rise there is no excuse to get caught sleepen
I just want the scientists to explain the beech fossils and other subtropical fossils found on Antartica, meaning at some point there were extreme temperature changes that put the island in a deep freeze.
Or..... or... plate tectonics. Antarctica hasn't always been located at the south pole.
Great presentation, fabulous visuals - thanks!

Interesting and very informative as usual.
We are getting more rain, and more snow even above Antarctica.
I like when they say no civilization have explored and then they show scientists mini town buildings
Good thing 91 volcanoes under the ice have nothing to do with ice melting.
mic pic Of course they do. The human habitat could be facing disaster anyway. It’s still a good thing to try to prevent it happening.
2014, the Institute for Geophysics, University of Texas , announces the results of their study, find the warming the the sea temperature under the Thwaites Glacier due to geothermal heat, not "global warming". Please do better and more accurate research next time.
Yes, indeed. A fact conveniently ignored by many, that along with the GSM now well inbound.
Given the coeffecient of thermal expansion of rock, how much internal heat does it take to increase the size of the earth a 100 feet, as it's 8,000 miles across ? Or, how much has the earth actually shrunk or expanded since satellites could make accurate earth size measurements ? Or, what do we use as a standard for the height of the surface of the earth ? We say techtonic plates move around, but never talk about vertical movement. We just mention mountains are formed by plate collisions. Do mountains have a solid base that extends down into the molten core to hold them up ? If gravity is a function of masses, then there is no gravity at the center of the earth. ? So many unanswered questions, and so many democrats that want to make up answers, for a small fee, of course.
Socialists and the committed ignore reality and fact
@Tom Musial Ah, it a study goes against the "Global Warming" (yes, I know, you've changed the name to climate change to confuse people) then some global oil company must have paid for the study and told the researchers what to report. By your reasoning, only those studies that support global warming are impartial and those that do not must have been "paid" for by evil oil companies. Please, tell your conspiracy theories to someone who will believe them.
These dream science opinion documentaries get on my nerves. They forget the earth is mostly lava, and the sun is super fucking hot every day.
“Learn to swim, see you down in Arizona Bay” -Tool
I'm a sceptic but you DO get your points across calmly, that's important if you want to TURN a sceptic, they can't handle calm lol
And yet the tech cheerleaders are all about founding an independent civilization on Mars which is far more inhospitable to humans than Antarctica ever will be.
It's not like that is a binary choice. We could prevent the worst of climate change and golf on Mars. We just need get our heads out of our bums.
And yet nothing changes. The question is NOT will we survive? It’s WHEN will it end?
We will end when the post-rational, neo-Marxist get the power they are so desperately seeking. The Earth is fine. Save yourself!
Climate change doesn't end. It's a constant cycle. People have to adapt or they die trying. You can't change or control the weather. No point in worrying about what it hasn't done or what it will do unless a tornado or flood will take out your house in the coming week.
Apparently Antarctica has just had the lowest winter temperature on record.
It’s about overall rising ocean temperatures, not one year of land temperature data. Did you even watch?
@@charlesbartlett2569 Yes I did thank you, but I thought I would just add my comment.
The more I see and hear about man made climate change the more sceptical I become. Some of the leading proponents are little more than scammers looking for funding, academic status and Nobel prizes. A Disgrace to the Profession is a book well worth reading.
The big players were not present at Cop 26 which tells me they're are not taken in by the junk science we're bombarded with and are not going to allow their economies to be ruined by so called green solutions that will achieve little or nothing.
What we need is a modern day King Canute who can demonstrate to all that we are not as clever or powerful as we think we are.
@@mpaul4584 There is no doubt that politics has invaded every facet of our lives including science. I have always believed that the arguments against fossil fuel use have been misguided. It should be less about climate change and more about breathing clean air versus sucking on the poisonous gases of a tail pipe. People would understand the suicide argument.
Global human population levels needs to be addressed
Forget terraforming mars we’re going to need to terraform our own planet, and not by carbon emissions that’s already worked WONDERS haha
Why? If we are warming, it is a historic boon for life on earth.
It's when the planet gets colder that you should be concerned.
B.s.! Not like that big bright thing in the sky has any affect on the climate, right? Nor the volcano under Antartica, right? Get a clue.
Remove the CO2 and we all die, plants live on it to produce O2.
Geez man
@Bee Kay glad you volunteered
The good thing is that even a devastated Earth would be the easiest planet to terraform in this solar system.
@@ChipmunkRapidsMadMan1869 The geologic warm periods had the lowest biodiversity. It is the ice ages with it's interglacial periods that have the greatest biodiversity. Part of this is because warmer waters hold less oxygen, even warmer air holds less oxygen.
Yet on 3 Jan 2020, summit camp in Greenland recorded its coldest ever temperature at -86.8 F. So on average for the Earth what does that mean? Cold temperatures don’t make news in a ‘warmist world’.
A single measurement, hot or cold, is not that meaningful. A ten year average is more informative. A running average too. If there is a non linear trend in an average, that is more concerning.
One data point doesn't change a scientific consensus,yeah?!? Naah,yeah,mate.
Thank you !
I never realized how big antarctica is
Conveniently leaving out any mention of volcanic activity under the West Antarctica ice sheet...helps with an agenda.
QualityControlCentre put ice that was on land in the water, water gets colder!
Do the math lazy fuckwit.
If any of those Volcano's were to explode, then that would cause major issues in melting whole glaciers. And they are based under the Pine Island Glacier. Right now, they are not a problem as they are not very active.

How TF did we go from "Not Likely" to "Likely Within the Next 5 Years?"
Solution: Highly-reflective white sea tarps, stitched together.
December 2021 Update: Climate scientists say the Doomsday glacier could collapse within 5 years! So things haven't got better.
I am surprised that there are so many darn delicate positive feedback cycles. The climate should have gone haywire with the natural occurrences that have happened in the last 20 thousand years. We are soooooo lucky arent we?
We are at the moment, but you're forgetting the mini-ice age, the dry medieval period, the wet pre-medieval peroid, the drying out of the Sahara basin, climate change destroying the fertile crescent and the Indus valley civilization, the Mayans, the Japanese pre-edo period deforestation.
@@tauIrrydah Exactly. Climate change happens all the time, and it cant be explained solely on CO2
On the NASA Earth Sciences web site it shows the Arctic loosing and the Antarctic gaming surface ice. This is from 1979 to 2020. I’m going to buy another diesel truck. That makes 3. CO2 makes my garden greener. Lack of CO2 is not green. That’s plant food
@@kevennye937 except the net flux is negative... Do we are loosing ice overall
Dundoril probably true. But CO2 is historically low. Plants die at 250ppm. CO2 has been as high as 5-6k ppm. Also plants are more drought tolerant when CO2 is higher. Another the earth has been cooler than now with a higher CO2 count. The earth is also becoming greener in recent times. I doubt AOC’s climate knowledge learned at a bar is what we should be placing policy on
Oh good the beach will be near.
Its not true that the only visitors are scientists. The US has had a military presence there for some time, which directly goes against the agreement made with all the countries that laid a claim to a piece of antarctica.
It will be interesting to see how this will affect marine life.
They'll just keep migrating to extinction!
This season’s Total Snow Mass for the Northern Hemisphere is tracking at some 500+ Gigatons above the 1982-2012 average:

So? Its been "above average" several other years as well. Do you understand the word average? That in no way supports your argument whatsoever dimwit. Btw... its 300+ gigatons not 500. Why exaggerate?
I like how people feel the need to insult one's intelligence when they share facts that others don't want to hear. Born Villain, if snowfall is above average, then it can not also be at an all time low. More snow is generally associated with lower temperatures, so "global warming" or "climate change" as its referred to these days is complete horse shite.
Not sure how old or informed you are, but in the 80's, "experts" said an ice age was coming in the 90's, but that never happened. In the late 90's "experts" said the polar ice caps would be completely melted, polar bears would drown (even though they're perfectly adapted to swim long distances) and coastal cities around the globe would be under water by 2011, but that never happened. They still say it's happening, but the beaches still look exactly the same way they did almost 35 years ago.
"Experts" also said over 2 million people would die from Covid in the US by now even with lockdowns, but that never happened. Have you ever wondered why "experts" always seem to be 0% right 100% of the time when the "fate of humanity" is at stake?
@@evolspeed4862
No sir horse shite is what comprises the majority of your brain matter and idc when you dimwitted little cringe bots "feel" insulted. Your feelings have no impact on reality.
David Swenson, first off - who said snowfall was at record lows? Answer: nobody, you made it up. If it was in this video and I somehow missed it then it still doesn't matter since this video is about Antarctica. Context is everything.
Fun fact: Atmosphere can hold 4% more moisture for every 1° F increase in temperature. So, as long as it does not warm above freezing, the result is a greater dump of snow. Now you know. Sit tf down and stfu.
@@bornvillain6819, there's obviously no sense in attempting a rational/respectful debate with you about "climate change". But I do appreciate your tireless effort to prove my point about insulting the intelligence of those who disagree with you👍🏻
Also, when did anyone say their feelings were hurt? I simply stated what my own observations have been, along with expert claims of what the planets future held, which never came true. You sir are the only one getting emo about anything 😘
David Swenson its well known that warmer air holds more moisture. This means more intense storms, higher storm surges during hurricanes, and flooding, oh, and eventually noticeable sea level rise. New York city flooded for almost a week a few years ago. Miami now floods on a regular basis. Also, im 50 and ive never heard cities would be flooded bu 2011. Maybe you should maybe rethink where you get you information. Loud mouth know nothings on the AM dial aren’t serving you well.
So here we are one year after this aired and it’s even more dire. Could break off in 5 years. What frightens me is that previous predictions were wrong and in that it’s happening much faster than they predicted
We ain’t getting out of this one alive.
Your doing a really good job with this channel, thanks.
not YOUR, it is YOU'RE,, and you are (you're) also very very very underinformed/misinformed about what is going on with the climate on our planet
Just one small correction: many bases are run all year round. For example Amundsen Scott, which is smack on the south pole. There are many other so called "permanent" bases, although they are not the mayority.
Thank you for all the good information you provide...hopefully us humans don't fail. But after COVID-19, my faith in humanity's co-operation skills has been really tested.

Aug 12, 2017 - Scientists have uncovered the largest volcanic region on Earth - two kilometres below the surface of the vast ice sheet that covers west Antarctica ...

Melting
Damn I been pointing people to that one for years.
However several hundred of the most respected people in the community swore blind that witchcraft was real during the Salem trials. Gotta love those learned folk, they're never wrong... Now I'm off to roll some coal. Cheerio!
Nope must be my diesel mercedes and its 200 litres per month of emmissions melting the poles
That's because under sea volcanoes in proximity of the Antarctic sea ice shelfs do not support the climate change/global warming is man made propaganda.
This is a very polite and proper way of saying we're all gonna die.
It looks like the earth itself is designed to make sure we can not overpopulate for long. Our damage causes it to strike back.
You are correct, no one lives forever.
Finally! Warm it up so we can plant some palm trees down there!
I have a question, if the weight of the ice is gone will the Earth's crust raise the continent and displace even more of the ocean's water? In construction we preload a construction site in order to deflect the ground conditions and make them more supportive of the weight of our new building. Is anyone thinking about this?
Money and government collaboration are the biggest factors stopping this. Also, the earth's crust will remain stationary it is just the sea levels that will rise about half a meter.
Yhee but the ground can sink back someweere else.
It's Christmas day in Kentucky, and it's 73 degrees. And just 2 weeks ago that tornado passed right by me, since I'm very close to Mayfield.
The Love of money will constantly put the brakes on doing what is required to protect our planet.

The heating of the underneath water is caused by underwater volcano's. Not by the currents warming up. And think of it this way. You're at a mouth of a river. To double the water coming out the river you need to input more water upstream. More rain/snow up stream means more water coming from the mouth of the river. Glaciers are no different. To get more ice breaking off at the ocean, you need more snow dropping upstream. No snow and the glacier would recede. More snow and the glacier dumps more ice in the ocean.
Glaciers are frozen rivers which calve off icebergs all the time.
Yes, they calve off 2,200 billion tonnes / year of ice. The assessment is that each one will increase its flow & calving by 6 times to 7 times the present amount after the ice shelf is gone (this has happened the last 2 decades for some small ones) so the increase is approximately 5.5 * 2,200 = 12,100 billion tonnes / year of ice into the ocean which would cause 33.6 mm / year of globally-averaged sea level rise (SLR) and this is the potential end game for Antarctica over the next couple of centuries if humans should so choose. Pretty damn simple.
@@grindupBaker , I was told that in 1990 by my Science teacher and am still waiting for sea level to rise. Its false .
Once the next solar cycle starts up the jetstream will return to a more normal pattern and they wont get these random warming temperatures any longer and the data will start reading colder.
the solar cycle has been trying to cool the earth for the last decade, yet the earth has continued warming, the next phase of the solar cycle is to increase warming even further
Update. That isn't playing out. Note all of the temperate records around the world falling like domino's. Keep lying too yourself.
Surely the change in the sea temperature must have been triggered by something in the past since the sea “cycle” takes I think you said 1,000 years. Correct?
MWP -- Medieval Warm Period (1000CE - 1250CE). That was the time when Greenland got its name. At the MWP end, it become more of a Groanland.
dumbo7429 why?
I think you're asking about the deep ocean current "conveyor belt" cycle taking 1000 years, yes? (I haven't rewatched the video and now it's months later.) The 1000 years is the amount of time it takes for a theoretical "piece" of water to move from one point, through the entire conveyor belt, back to that same point, so it's not a matter of heating up the entire "belt". No more than a literal conveyor belt would need something to change the entire thing at once in order to affect the way it moves--if you stab a knife through the rubber-fabric of a conveyor belt and jam the whole thing up that way, the un-stabbed regions won't continue to move, even though they're still in perfectly good shape.
What's changing is the "motor" for the conveyor belt. The things that drive the motion of water from the surface to the depths, and then the depths to the surface again, are density, temperature, salinity, and something I know has a name but I don't know what it is: the "suck" of water at the top of the system being pulled away from an area by wind, evaporation, and/or interactions with the slope of a continent.
Water sinks when it's colder, right up until it freezes, because ice is weird and floats. Water with more salt in it sinks. Warmer water floats; water with less salt in it floats. And when ice forms, most of the salt in it doesn't get stuck in the ice, so the water around the ice gets more salty. All that means that water at the poles gets colder: saltier: more dense; and it sinks.
When that cold, salty, dense water sinks, it starts the conveyor belt in motion. There are a couple places it comes up again, 1000 years later--think of them as booster motors--but the main motor is this sinking cold water. So if you screw with that motor, that's the knife through the conveyor belt. You can screw it up in a short period of time by changing the temperature and the salt-content, and the drag down into the depths loses its power.
Does that help answer the question of how a 1000 year-long cycle can be impacted by something that happened in the past 50 years?
There are people who spend the winter there, but not many
There will always be water on the bottom of a glacier because of the fact that waters densest point is 4c. You can't compress water beyond that. When you compress ice it melts.
