    In 2006, Methane levels began to rapidly increase in Earth's atmosphere and haven't showed signs of slowing down. What is causing this mysterious spike? Are humans to blame or can this be attributed to the planet entering a ice age termination event?

      Not only are we still in an ice age, we are only just recovering from an almost catastrophic fall in Co2 levels, if the Co2 had dropped any further we would not be here now! because ALL plant life would have died, followed closely by ALL herbivores dying and finally ALL carnivores Dying, We might have survived(barely)by creating individual grow areas, I.E. greenhouses where we artificially increase the Co2. The Dutch already enrich their greenhouses with Co2 to get larger yields and better quality produce. Scientist know this, but still go along with the Co2 is evil so must be reduced mantra, mainly because research money is only available for any research that fosters the Global warming/Climate change narrative. The only scientists that speak out against Climate change are either retired(not dependant on grants)scientists, including Nobel prize winners, or Scientists and researchers who are of independent means.

    I've personally felt as though winter has been taking longer to arrive, but staying for the same amount of time once it does. I remember back in the mid 90s that we would reliably get the first snow in late mid October, and we would get the first real storm in late November or early December. I also remember that in 1995, we got a blizzard in April that was considered unheard of. Now almost 30 years later we often don't get our first snow until January, but now it's not uncommon to have snow in may.
    Summer has also felt shifted. I remember as a kid June and July were swelteringly hot, whereas August and September had a break in the temperatures. Now June and July are temperate, August and September feel like an oven, and there isn't a break in the temperatures sometimes until early December. Just what I've personally observed, with all the pitfalls of memory and perception.

      @ericskelton8368 6 місяців тому

      @@xxwookey The video seems to gloss over the Tipping Point hypothesis whereby an increase in human-caused CO2 triggers a (my emphasis) self-reinforcing methane release causing further warming. Our current climate change is exponential, not linear, not gradual, not naturally caused and not just another blip in a long geological record of climate variations. As much as science can know something, climate urgency is established. The foreseeable consequences are dire. Unfortunately, this video looked forward instead of only backward, possibly inducing complacency in its viewers when it’s urgency that’s warranted.
      The video observes the rapid increase in CO2 and observes the spike since just 2006 in methane release. Then, strangely, the video pivots to reassure us that the Earth has an ability to engage negative feedback loops to respond to climate change and establish a new equilibrium. That glosses over the initial dramatic loss of habitability for life forms that exist today as we sleep our way into a climate catastrophe and then wait for a millennia-long correction.
      The video skips over the damage the initial positive feedback loop will cause.
      The result is a video that, intentionally or not, has the effect of making an oncoming train with us tied to the tracks, seem like just a morning commute.
      Science and its methods don’t exist only to direct humans to wise choices. But the « sapiens » part of Homo sapiens does mean wise. We should be using our wisdom to detect and avert crises, not to minimize them.

      As long as Antarctica is at the southern pole, the Earth will experience periods of extreme glaciation. Plate tectonics says that will be at least another 80 million years before the cycle of glaciation will end with Antarctica moving north into the Atlantic Ocean. Then, when Europe finally gets into the Arctic Circle, it will begin again. Antarctica has occupied the south pole region for about 300 million years, and it and its ocean currents are a major player in the onset of global glaciation events (as is Northern Canada).

      I guarantee you'd rather live in a warm planet than one half covered with 5 kilometer deep ice sheets. And I can just about guarantee, based on past cycles, that the Earth will once again enter into a period of glaciation that covers the majority of the Northern Hemisphere, and that is made possible, in part, because of plate tectonics and the movement of continental land masses over the past half billion years.
      Where do you think the Atlantic Ocean came from, john? What effect do you think a land mass the size of Antarctica, with its ice cover and low albedo, has on retention of solar heat? What do you think happens when, because of oceanic current and weather changes, northern Canadian Plateau gets a permanent snow and ice cover? How many decades would it take before the Canadian ice sheets made their way south of the 47th parallel (hint: less than 10). What do you think the effect of a new period of glaciation would have on the civilizations north of the equator?

This will fully move the planet into an ice free Interglacial. Therefore it's not the Holocene, it's the Flandrian. We should expect to see a normal interglacial temperature profile of around +3-5°C and no land ice outside of Antarctica and the highest altitudes with the consequent sea level rises reflecting levels in the Ipswichian (the last full interglacial) when there were hippos frolicking in Trafalgar Square.

    The elliptical orbit is centered at a focus, near the pointier end of the ellipse. Both the closest point, periapsis, and the furthest point, apoapsis, occur at the pointy ends of the ellipse, basically 180 degrees apart, not on the flat side of the ellipse 90 degrees apart.
    This is not responsible for our seasons but it is a seasonal effect. The southern hemisphere's seasons are somewhat amplified by getting closer to the sun in summer while the Northern hemisphere's seasons are somewhat moderated by getting closer to the sun in winter.

      Solar forcing is important, but on time scales relevant to human history solar irradiance is practically constant. Even near solar minimum, when galactic comic rays have easier access to Earth, and during the solar maximum, their spectrum remains relatively constant in energy and composition, varying only slowly with time. Just as the solar cycle follows a roughly elven year cycle, so does galactic cosmic rays with its maximum.
      No mechanism has been discovered for variations in the solar wind or magnetic field to affect Earth's climate significantly. It's a red herring when folk claim these forcing do; popular on "climate skeptic" pseudoscience blogs, but we know once a talking point gains inertia in the "skeptic" echo chamber, it never dies. The steady decline in energy output, the 11 year cycle in sunspots, and the variations in the solar wind shows no correlation with climate on annual, decadal, nor century scales.

      We are 100 percent responsible for influencing the current climate change trend.
      Science moves on from well established conclusions to areas of less certainty such as quantifying AGW in the presence of large feedbacks like clouds and water vapour. Anthropogenic global warming is hardly the most important or interesting area of climate research because it is occurring and is settled. i.e., it’s a baseline. Just as evolution is the baseline for evolutionary biology.

    Well for example Estonia is 23% wetlands. During the past 50 years, there has been enormous growth of digging trenches to dry out wetlands for pine wood monoculture production. Also peat mining has played a key part. As the wetlands dry out, the organic matter stored there starts to continue to decompose, releasing methane into the atmosphere. I don't know about much rest of the data, but I'd guess its important to point out that some of the natural cycles are triggered by human activities. Great video though, an interesting new perspective for me.

    Ben, great video, thanks. FYI the word 'glaciation' refers to snow and ice retention at either of the poles or both of them, The present glaciation started about 45 Mya with snow and ice accumulation on Antarctica and starting the Tertiary Glaciation. The ongoing decline of sea levels led to the Arctic becoming glaciated simce 2.58 Mya. The cause of the Tertiary glaciation is the galactic orbit of the solar system making it move upward from the galactic plane and causing the orbital inclinations of the planets to decline, vis-a-vis the obliquity of the Earth's spin axis. CO2 is like phlogiston; it actually does the opposite of what it is claimed to do. by bonding inversely proportional to temperature with H2O as carbonic acid and making that precipitate. Without the lighter than air H2O molecules suspending the heavier than air CO2 molecules they would form a toxic high pressure surface layer as it does on Venus , taken care of on Earth by forming the ocean covering 71% of the global surface to depths of around 8 km.

    Thank you for a well produced and highly informative presentation. Isn't it true that there are two more major factors which contribute even more to release of methane?
    Solar cycles of increased and highly variable radiation levels in which we are currently reaching an 11 year maxima (remember also that our earth is miniscule in comparison to our Sun).
    Secondly there have been many academic papers exhibiting significant evidence that approx every 12,000 years , a Geo Magnetic Excursion event (GME) takes place on earth (a pole shift). The reduction in earths magnetic field due to the GME also greatly reduces our protection from our Suns increasing radiation. These two factors may sugnificantly disrupt our Earths albido, perhaps with even greater effect than methane alone.
    Would these be interesting subjects to consider in one of your videos?
    Keep up the great work.

    • @DerKiesch
      @DerKiesch 4 місяці тому +3

      I - as a physicist would expect the 11 year solar cycle (which goes along with a net increased energy flow when there is more solar activity) is not playing any big role in general climate (as in long term trend) but rather in cylclic weather phenomena. Simply put: 11 years cylce is most likely too short compared to the long term changes we are observing to effectively drive / support those processes.
      You can understand this as with a pendulum having a resonance frequency. If you are at the resonance frequency, you pump a lot of energy into the pendulum and always increase it's motion. If you are far off resonance there is not much energy gain. It's like with a swing, you always push your child on the swing when the swing arrives where you are and thus match the frequency and effectively get it higher and higher. If you'd just push it randomly (either just once at the start - much lower frequency - or erratically all the time even when the swing comes your way, you will get a much worse experience).

With more cosmic particles entering the atmosphere we are getting more "aerosols". Which are the basic building blocks of cloud formations. More clouds = more heat (per the greenhouse effect). The consequences of this can mean more glaciers are melting, diluting salt water with fresh water. This in turn can reduce or eliminate ocean currents, which would then plunge the northern hemisphere into an ice age. I wrote this paper back in 2013....so a lot has probably changed since then.

    Ben, despite extensive research I'm surprised you make no point of 2006-2007 onward seeing the rapid acceleration of unconventional oil & gas extraction i.e. the fracking of shale deposits (particularly in the USA). Such wells were being drilled in their hundreds - thousands soon thereafter. The main prize was natural gas. Meanwhile its extraction, venting, flaring, containment leaks and fugitive emissions were a serious problem (largely denied by the industries involved). The possibilities of this previously untapped resource was explored in the late 90's (around 1997) but commercial exploitation didn't really take off till 2006/7, especially after the 'Halliburton Loophole' of 2005 enabled it, in law, to get around the related environmental hazards. Rapid decline-rates, particularly from shale wells, meant they were abandoned after a few years - ostensibly sealed, made safe, or sold off for 'long-tale' investors gleaning diminishing returns from ever-lower yields. In the US alone there are now about 4 million abandoned O&G wells, many still leaking gas.

Note that "runaway global warming" wouldn't runaway forever as the spectral graph of the earth shifts slowly toward higher energy wavelengths that go around the absorption bands of GHGs. But certainly it can runaway from our ability to stop it if we don't like what is happening. This is essentially what a tipping point is - we get to a point and we will get 3 or 4 (or more) degrees of warming no matter what we do to emissions after that point - the warming is locked in out of our control. e.g. We can't control the methane coming out of the Arctic tundra or Arctic ocean. This is why reducing emissions drastically before the tipping points is so important.

    Milankovitch cycles describe the collective effects of changes in the Earth's movements on its climate over thousands of years. The term was coined and named after the Serbian geophysicist and astronomer Milutin Milanković. In the 1920s, he hypothesized that variations in eccentricity, axial tilt, and precession combined to result in cyclical variations in the intra-annual and latitudinal distribution of solar radiation at the Earth's surface, and that this orbital forcing strongly influenced the Earth's climatic patterns.

This was a short video trying to cover all the important factors ... not an all inclusive to cover the entire details of everything related. That would entail an entire (and am sure rather long) series.

      Can’t imagine how shifting magnetic poles influence climate.

      @@edwardcoulter9361 There could possibly be more volcanism activity during poles shifts ... which will influence weather and climate patterns.
      Earth's magnetic field protects Earth, and possibly during a shift that could weaken and allow more radiation and solar winds. Which again will influence weather and climate. There has also been suggested theories that high energy particles trapped in the Van Allen Belt could be released.
      Again I do not know if this actually is the case or if so, how extreme or minimal it would be. What we do know is there is nothing to suggest it has been a major factor. But there is definitely a possibility it could potentially be a likely more minor factor.

      @@dnboro and why should trust you over a man that spent decades working with JPL, NASA, DOD and many others? Are you forgetting just how many dooms day predictions from the controllers that have flipped? Yes the climate is changing but it has nothing to do with mankind. While you hide in your basement waiting on the earth to melt we will live our life. If you really want to worry about something I would look to engineered super bugs, space rocks, the pollution of our oceans by China and India, stolen elections and the weaponizing of our government. Anything the freaks want to tax a problem to make it go away you know it's a hoax.

      i'm of the same mind. except, i've realized an exception.....i had doubts about the moonlanding for about 6 months...but i cleared that up. they put blue labels up when people question the moonlanding and that did happen. so, the blue label is a red flag for me, but no longer 'proof' that the video is true
