I noticed that the summer sea ice was highly variable while the winter sea ice was surprisingly constant with nowhere near as much variability. Very interesting to watch.
The summer ice seems more variable because at the edges of the polar caps the ice is thinner and melts completely. The ice in the middle is thick enough that FROM SPACE the melting is not as visible.
I think this might be an indicator that the ice layer has gotten thinner in the summer melt regions over the period of the video. There are some quite interesting relationships between extent and depth in various places around the polar regions. Note that increased melting in the Arctic does not contribute to sea level rise, unlike the Antarctic.
I have been studying the effects of the winter ice breakers and lower summer sea ice and it really seems to make a difference in the amounts of summer sea ice and our dry summer across the northern hemisphere but cannot get anyone to talk to me or advance the study by someone who would have a voice but most of the low sea ice in summer is when we have much more ice breakers keeping the northern routes open also the more winter cruises on ice breakers seam to really reduce summer sea ice wish I could find someone to look into it seriously the winter cruises aren't nessary

No real change in the winter, but significantly less cover in summer. In fact the ice recedes so far in summer that Viking artefacts are being uncovered in Greenland from when they settled there the last time it was this warm. Amazing planet.

Warming is occurring in metropolitan areas in large cities. Heat generated by asphalt in the daytime and air conditioner heated exhaust is the real cause. This is known in climatology as “urban effect.” You can see New York City has risen in temperature by a few degrees in the last hundred years, but neighboring cities like Syracuse the temperature average has actually gone down. I can even make a case why pollution is necessary. Just look up; “thermal masking.“ Have a nice day.

Did you see how much less ice there was as the time went by? That's what happens when we pump 100 million metric tons of c02 into the atmosphere From burning fossil fuels each day. A greenhouse gas, that traps infrared heat.
I know! What a revelation! Goodness me. It seems that sea ice coverage is just a variable as every other thing on earth! Nothing on this planet was EVER constant, nor will it ever be!

Yes but, if you really look closely at it, it doesn't really change very much in terms of coverage. Certainly not enough to suggest global warming. Some winters there is a little more and other winters a little less but it always recovers. No, this is not evidence for global warming but, rather, for reletive temperature stability.

It doesn't matter who originally made the statement. Countless millions of people hang off of every word Al Gore says. It was an absurd statement, and he continues to make absurd statements as a respected alarmist representative of the climate movement. It also begs the question, so what? Melting Arctic ice isn't going to harm anything. If the planet continues to warm Arctic ice will melt. There is absolutely nothing you can do about it. You could end all fossil fuel production tonight at midnight and it wouldn't change a thing.
Except not a single actual climate research organization says this, just 2 or 3 writers like Lindzen (kicked out of MIT for falsifying data and worked for an organization funded by Big Oil). Thousands of actual researchers say otherwise. Question - Why do you base your opinion on those 2 or 3 rather than thousands?
It is a shame we can not go back further in time. It would have been interesting to see the Artic sea ice variations for the past 150 years or so. Historical descriptions suggest there was a lot less ice in the 1920's and 1930's.
We CAN give back to 1970. In 1969 we landed on the moon; there were cameras in polar orbit looking at weather, which strongly is influenced by the arctic. Won't show the first 20 years because it doesn't agree with the narrative.
I guess the hottest temperatures we have seen since record keeping began is also “propaganda” to you? The pictures of glaciers taken very early part of the century showing much greater ice than today, with some glaciers retreating altogether is also “propaganda” to you? Idiots. 🤦🏻♂️😠
PURE BS. Please show where you got the 'fact' that there was LESS ice on earth in the 1920's and 1930's. As a reader of many climate journals I have Not ONCE seen this written.
The ice pack was at an all time high ~2015-2016 around Antarctica. There is variability on the rate of several decades from long phase atmospheric and oceanic cycles. This is not alarming that the Arctic icepack is lower now too. It is much better to have a slightly warmer planet than a colder one. A slightly colder planet would result in crop failures and starvation on a massive scale.
Great point - worldwide deaths from heat make up around 10% of all temperature related deaths. Depending on the data source (as always), most estimates show approximately 600,000 die from heat annually, while 4,500,000 die from cold.
at least geologically, comparing the biodiversity of the Last Glacial Maximum with the tropical warmth of the Carboniferous or Creatceous eon shows something What is more concerning is the pace at which it's getting warmer. Major climate shifts usually happen over thousands of yeary, not decades. No time for Animals and Plants to adapt
@@veritasdeutsch6608 Yes. Many humans think that life is a paradise on earth without humans. But we actually live in a harsh world in CO2 shortage, in comparison.
if we could go back 10,000 years we could watch it retreat 3000 miles from New york to where it is now. to see it not continuing to do that would not be normal.
It’s changing much more quickly than would be normal under any circumstances. We’re in an ice age, still. We were actually slowly cooling, heading to the next glacial maximum.
That is a drastic comparisson. The onset of interglacials always come with a huge temperature spike, this is where probably all the great deluge tales come from.
@@nyoodmono4681 Correct, the Dansgaard-Oeschger event data from the last glacial period corroborates sudden rapid spikes of around 8 degrees happening regularly over a time span of as little as 20 years. Any climate scientist worth their degree would know this, and anyone interested in researching for themselves would find links to the data on the NOAA website, yet it is never mentioned when discussing climate change. Strange, that.
The satellite record began in 1979, a high point in ice by the historical record. Why didn’t they show 1979 to 1993? Incomplete data? A claim often made but it doesn’t stop them creating temperature graphs where there is little information- hockey anyone? National Geographic made a beautiful ( they always are) map showing the limits of the summer and winter ice sheet. They didn’t seem concerned in the olden days, then the worry was another Ice Age.
2013 - US Navy predicts summer ice COULD BE free Arctic by 2016. "COULD" not will. That's why science is always a matter of probabilities never certainty. What is correct is the LONG-TERM trend continues to be a warmer planet with less ice.
The magnetic field that protect the us against the sun is weak 30% weaker says NASA) , and gets weaker and weaker untill the great reset. (Follow the magnetic north and south pole movement) Our winters will be crappy and cold for many years to come...
The Arctic is iced over in winter, but instead of having 10 meters of ice in some spot, it's only 4 meters now, which is why it melts so early and so completely.
And the dire forecasts of the Maldives and Pacific Islands going under the waves has not eventuated. No mass refugees from any of those locations contrary to the Predictions of The Lunatics that forecasted such tragedies.
Yes...from kooks and non climate scientists. There were also predictions the moon was made of cheese, and that men lived on Mars. Anyone can make a prediction, but this doesn't mean that that prediction is the opinion of actual science.

@AguiaAguia-ci1od I've personally seen ocean fossils on Utah mountain tops. They didn't magically appear up there. At one time, that land was under the ocean and now has risen 8,000 ft above sea level. There's thousands of other examples of researchers and archeologists that have taken core samples miles deep that contain fossils that are known to exist on land. How long did the earth take to turn huge forests and plants into oil , coal, and natural gas... ? Have a little common sense.
Sept/Oct always appeared to be the smallest ice cover and the ice was almost at its peak by Jan/Feb. Why start at the peak and end at the minimum. Don't be afraid to question things, even if they try to bully you.
The hottest years since 1901 were in the 1930s which throws a large wrench into the global warming narrative. That is why charts purporting to show the globe is warming always start much later, usually in the 1960's or later. I get very suspicious of these graphs when they only go back to the 1960s, so this display starting in 1993 really sets off alarm bells for me.
Important to mention that CO2 emissions were just a fraction before the industrial revolution in the 50s. So the warming was natural. Any conscensus soldier i came across had nothing to say here.. They do not even think that far.
Its the same with "Gold prices". You can show anything you want simply by chosing that part of the graph you wish to show. Hiding the units helps as can setting the base line up to a section of choice. It's lazy science and lazy journalism. @@jeffmoodie6144

I saw all I needed to see. I have my opinions. I see a lot of ice where I was told twenty years ago there's be none. It was also supposed to be quite a bit warmer by now. Weather forecasters can't even get tomorrow right.
I was looking carefully to see if the legendary ‘Northwest Passage’ would open so that ships might travel freely from Greenland, round Canada to Alaska - the dream of ancient mariners. I think I saw it open briefly for just a few days in the 1990s, but not since 2000. Oh well, dream on.
Clever distortion . Cherry pick a short outlier statistic then use it to prove a point The NW passage is not a key data point dues to its depth and complex topology, and NOAA has noted 2023 is the 6th worst year for overall polar ice loss on satellite record, and the worst year for Antarctica.

Water expands when it freezes which is why it floats. When floating ice melts, it simply continues to occupy the same volume as the water it displaced when it was solid ice. The water level does not change. But if ice sitting on land (Greenland) melts, the water will flow into the ocean and will raise the water level.

Im confused, the way it has been reported in the media is that during summer it was practically iceless now, and ships could sail freely. That is not the case, granted there is less ice now in the summer. Winter ice seems about the same. So are the icecaps melting that badly?
it has gotten less difficult to sail through the Arctic in Summers, as a trend, but they do need to use ice-breakers to do that sailing. And the media will tend to do their best to grab you by the emotions. If you want the data, use the media as a place to start, but always go to scientific journals for a clear picture of that data collection.
@grindupBaker no seriously, they can’t show what’s fully happening on a short clip of a sped up animation. Looks neat but doesn’t explain anything. Tons of factors going on and weather variables, etc.
@grindupBaker have you been there to measure it or did ya ask greta ? Funny that the shoreline hasn't changed , where did all that melting go ? And why would Obama buy a 15 million dollar ocean front mansion ?
The amount of energy absorbed by melting ice is as much as it takes to heat an equivalent mass of water from zero to 80°C. The energy required to melt a volume of ice can raise the temperature of the same volume of rock by as much as 150ºC. There is a better, interactive minimum Arctic extent graphic at NASA Vital Signs Arctic Ice Minimum Extent and a graph showing how it is becoming thinner and younger ice.
Some years ago I (a German) read some years ago in a SriLankan newspaper, that neutral scientists found out, that there is more ice on earth. The German government has the wish to direct us to the point, that the is less ice on earth. I cannot prove, what is correct. Also this Film does not help. It should also show the mass of ice in the arctic as well as the mass and extension of ice in the Antarctic area.
Nice graphics, very cyclical for about 30 years but there is one error, maybe? According to some scientists & Al Gore, from 2016 on there should be no ice in the Arctic. Don't look outside -- that's not snow -- it can't be. The consensus science is never wrong, is it? ;-)
He actually said 2014 would be ice free . Also that mount Kilimanjaro would be snow free by 2014 . None of these predictions seem to come true. Not one. That's some record.
What nobody talks about is the solar cycle. Right now we are going through a solar maximum and have been for the past few years. Believe it or not the son will have a major impact on this planet's temperature and weather. Novel concept I know.
It's the angle of the sun that has changed, causing more melting in the summer. Not caused by your full size pickup truck as the loonies would have you think.

Many people commenting notice the summer ice area is getting smaller but winter is always the same. Try to imagine that you have a block of ice that is floating in a wide bucket of water. You put it in the freezer. What will happen? The water in the bucket will start to freeze from the surface. So at one point you will have a thin crust of ice that will get thicker and thicker the more time the bucket is in the freezer. Now you take it out of the freezer to simulate Summer. What you get is the ice getting thinner and thinner and at one point all the winter ice disappears and what is left is the original block of old ice. That block will now melt more and more and if you keep the bucket out of the freezer long enough, it will disappear and you will get the NO ICE state. When you put it in again, ice will again cover the WHOLE surface of the bucket but you will not think it is completely fine because you now know you kept the bucket out too long and your big block of ice is gone.
Another thing to keep in mind is that ice acts as a mirror for the Sun. So the cover of ice in the winter is irrelevant because it is the polar night. But the amount of surface covered by ice in Summer is very important because the Sun then shines 24/7.
You aren’t aware that we are coming out of a mini ice age that ended in the late 18,00’s? That is when the glaciers started melting and it’s well documented, we are nowhere near historical temps yet.
Keep in mind that the planet has been through many inter glacial periods that were warmer than it is today. as someone mentioned in the comments they are finding artifacts that have been buried since the little ice age that started 1100 ad and lasted until around the American Civil war in the 1850s The problem is not the ice melting because that is a good thing. less ice means more land and more water. without the ice on the land it will rise up higher because of isostatic rebound giving more land spaces than what we will loose from rising oceans. Yes earth will get +8 degrees F hotter but that will make for more evaporation and more rainfall. I do not know why the green parties push the ice age because every time we go into an ice age it comes with a great loss of life. Not just human life but plant animal and marine life too. Every ice age is dry and cold you have a famine issue and diseases and plagues because if there is less food means you make more risks eating bad/spoiled food and with less food your immune system does not work 100%. On top of that you have more war over territories because people have less food because Winter in effected areas are 3x longer and summers are 3x shorter. The real problem that we need to focus on is the pollution of the water. That is a real problem we dump our trash and our poo into the oceans hoping they just go away. We need to find a way to clean up after ourselves not try to start another ice age, The planet will choose when that will happen without our help. Also keep in mind that the Earth was without ice a whole lot longer than it has been covered with ice. if you take all the times Earth had glaciers since it had formed that we have discovered. The Huronian: glaciation from 2.45 billion years ago that lasted 230 million years, The Cryogenian: 720 mya lasted 75 million years, The Ordovician glaciation, 440 mya but had cycles like todays lasting 1 to 5 million years between both cycle. This one has been studied extensively as it is thought to be associated with one of the 5 major mass extinctions of the Phanerozoic. ( The Cambrian world was bracketed between two ice ages, one during the late Proterozoic and the other during the Ordovician. During these ice ages, the decrease in global temperature led to mass extinctions. Cooler conditions eliminated many warm water species, and glaciation lowered global sea level) The Karoo ice age the Carboniferous-Permian glaciation is thought to have spanned from the Mississipian starting around 360 mya lasting 70 million years Thought to have ended the Permian that brought in the Dinochickens. Finally the current one that has been going after the extinction event that killed the dinochickens (that was after 165 million years of tropical warm weather.) basically starting around 35 mya during the early Oligocene. by my calculation that means the Earth has been covered in ice a total of 415 million years total out of just the 3.7 billion years that there has just been life on the planet. That is not taking in the full age of the planet and its forming and collision to get the moon. So I hope that you can see that ice ages are not a good thing as they often bring extinctions as a party gift.
I did not want to edit my last part as this is not relevant to what I wrote but also take into thought that the area in the map is the north pole and is just ice on the water and not the actual Glaciation that occurs on land that can get 2 to 4 miles thick. As far as I am aware of since the 1940s the US and Russian subs have been mapping and cutting under the north pole ice caps for decades and even more so after the invention of the Nuclear class subs. the actual Glaciation is on Antarctica and Greenland and on mountain ranges in Argentina, Chile, Canada, Alaska, Mountain glaciers are widespread, especially in the Andes, the Himalayas, the Rocky Mountains, the Caucasus, Scandinavian mountains, and the Alps.

Oh and I live on a boat in the Atlantic/Gulf of Mexico. (Orlando FL) Ocasio Cortez described it best when confronted with this fact: "we don't know when it's going to happen, but it will". I agree.

How many predictions have come and gone? Last I looked Florida was still there. Now we are supposed to turn the world upside down because they are predicting a 1 to 2-degree rise a hundred years from now? Three strikes and you're out, and the climate scientists predicting doom and gloom passed that marker a long time ago. Personally, I don't think they know their ass from a hole in the wall.
It clearly shows ice concentration as a color gradient. Why are so many of you saying this when it’s right there in front of your face? Are you just ignoring it?
@grindupBaker You have the right idea, but you sound like a nutjob. Just site a credible source for others to look up like such: climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/arctic-sea-ice/
As this is floating ice already displacing water it has no effect on amsl In fact the ice in liquid state has slightly less volume . If you look at land based ice the greanland and antartic coverage is increasing year by year
An interesting note...a marked recession during the very time dozens of Chinese coal fired power plants came online in 2019. Also, a significant increase in ice during the Covid lockdowns. Very cool presentation.
Yes. Is it not crazy how we humans change the weather with our changes of the 4% we add to the gobal 0,04% of CO2 ? We see it every day: China turns on a coal plant: It gets warmer.. Dude i could swear the same thing happens when i change the temperature knob of my radiator.... And as soon as we do Lockdowns the ice grows, even though the CO2 does not change. It is crazy dude how we little ants on the thin surface control the whole planet.
Strange, sea levels have not changed. The polar ice looks the same to me. And we are heading into a warm Intergrlacial period. It should be a lot warmer with or without humans.

So ice melts in the summer and freezes in the winter. I think I learned that at about 2yrs old. The first man to go to both the south pole and the north pole was a German and he had to fly over the north pole in the Graf zeppelin because the ice was too thin to support a dog sled

Meanwhile where I live (Hungary) there hasn't been much in terms of snow fall since my early childhood. I remember my parents telling me that when they were younger, we used to have thick snow for most of winter. These days we're lucky to get a thin layer of snow for a few days at most.

I noticed that the summer sea ice was highly variable while the winter sea ice was surprisingly constant with nowhere near as much variability. Very interesting to watch.
The summer ice seems more variable because at the edges of the polar caps the ice is thinner and melts completely. The ice in the middle is thick enough that FROM SPACE the melting is not as visible.
I think this might be an indicator that the ice layer has gotten thinner in the summer melt regions over the period of the video. There are some quite interesting relationships between extent and depth in various places around the polar regions. Note that increased melting in the Arctic does not contribute to sea level rise, unlike the Antarctic.
Looks like the 2 underwater volcanos southwest of Iceland consistently keep it open to sea travel nearly year round.
I have been studying the effects of the winter ice breakers and lower summer sea ice and it really seems to make a difference in the amounts of summer sea ice and our dry summer across the northern hemisphere but cannot get anyone to talk to me or advance the study by someone who would have a voice but most of the low sea ice in summer is when we have much more ice breakers keeping the northern routes open also the more winter cruises on ice breakers seam to really reduce summer sea ice wish I could find someone to look into it seriously the winter cruises aren't nessary

Warming is occurring in metropolitan areas in large cities. Heat generated by asphalt in the daytime and air conditioner heated exhaust is the real cause.

Yes but, if you really look closely at it, it doesn't really change very much in terms of coverage. Certainly not enough to suggest global warming. Some winters there is a little more and other winters a little less but it always recovers. No, this is not evidence for global warming but, rather, for reletive temperature stability.

PURE BS. Please show where you got the 'fact' that there was LESS ice on earth in the 1920's and 1930's. As a reader of many climate journals I have Not ONCE seen this written.
The ice pack was at an all time high ~2015-2016 around Antarctica. There is variability on the rate of several decades from long phase atmospheric and oceanic cycles. This is not alarming that the Arctic icepack is lower now too. It is much better to have a slightly warmer planet than a colder one. A slightly colder planet would result in crop failures and starvation on a massive scale.
Great point - worldwide deaths from heat make up around 10% of all temperature related deaths.

The hottest years since 1901 were in the 1930s which throws a large wrench into the global warming narrative.

If you’re fishing from a ledge, do you really think you’ll notice a change of a few inches in sea level?

Thing they don't really tell you about global temps is how averages is work. It's the same thing with the pay gap. If the summers get hotter but the winters stay the same, technically the average will rise.

Bingo! We have a winner... 👍⭐
One dimension this does not show is the thickness. The amount of ice is 3 dimensional, so if it is twice as thick there is 2x the amount of ice and if it is half as thick there is 0.5x the amount of ice.

Ok, so why isn’t there catastrophic flooding during the summer months? even if I got so “bad” where winter looked like summer wouldn’t it be the same amount of “flooding”?
Water expands when it freezes which is why it floats. When floating ice melts, it simply continues to occupy the same volume as the water it displaced when it was solid ice. The water level does not change.
But if ice sitting on land (Greenland) melts, the water will flow into the ocean and will raise the water level.

Im confused, the way it has been reported in the media is that during summer it was practically iceless now, and ships could sail freely. That is not the case, granted there is less ice now in the summer. Winter ice seems about the same. So are the icecaps melting that badly?
it has gotten less difficult to sail through the Arctic in Summers, as a trend, but they do need to use ice-breakers to do that sailing. And the media will tend to do their best to grab you by the emotions. If you want the data, use the media as a place to start, but always go to scientific journals for a clear picture of that data collection.
So it shrinks in the summer and grows in the winter.
That’s the opposite of what she said.😅
@grindupBaker sorry my subtle joke went over your head.
So, in summary, the thickness is what matters.
(That’s what she said.)
Is that better?😂
@grindupBaker no seriously, they can’t show what’s fully happening on a short clip of a sped up animation. Looks neat but doesn’t explain anything. Tons of factors going on and weather variables, etc.
Yea ole greta only sees shrinkage , in the polar ice and .... well you know
@grindupBaker have you been there to measure it or did ya ask greta ? Funny that the shoreline hasn't changed , where did all that melting go ? And why would Obama buy a 15 million dollar ocean front mansion ?
The amount of energy absorbed by melting ice is as much as it takes to heat an equivalent mass of water from zero to 80°C. The energy required to melt a volume of ice can raise the temperature of the same volume of rock by as much as 150ºC.
There is a better, interactive minimum Arctic extent graphic at NASA Vital Signs Arctic Ice Minimum Extent and a graph showing how it is becoming thinner and younger ice.
If this is supposedly evidence of global warming, it was an epic fail.
Some years ago I (a German) read some years ago in a SriLankan newspaper, that neutral scientists found out, that there is more ice on earth. The German government has the wish to direct us to the point, that the is less ice on earth.
I cannot prove, what is correct. Also this Film does not help. It should also show the mass of ice in the arctic as well as the mass and extension of ice in the Antarctic area.
When I look at the Arctic using Google Earth, I don't see any ice on water at all. Only some ice on land. Or does it not show up as white areas?
Is all that ice fresh water ice? If so, wrap it and tug it to where you need it. By the time you get there it might all melt and then can be pumped.
No, it's saltwater ice - a frozen ocean. But people have proposed catching icebergs from land glaciers and towing them south.
The Arctic ice covers 2/3 of the ball and there are more ice in the south what happens to the land?
Nice graphics, very cyclical for about 30 years but there is one error, maybe?
According to some scientists & Al Gore, from 2016 on there should be no ice in the Arctic.
Don't look outside -- that's not snow -- it can't be. The consensus science is never wrong, is it? ;-)
He actually said 2014 would be ice free . Also that mount Kilimanjaro would be snow free by 2014 . None of these predictions seem to come true. Not one. That's some record.
What nobody talks about is the solar cycle. Right now we are going through a solar maximum and have been for the past few years. Believe it or not the son will have a major impact on this planet's temperature and weather. Novel concept I know.
21-23 actually increased surface ice. so much for global warming
Are you that stupid? No, just trolling I guess...
It's the angle of the sun that has changed, causing more melting in the summer. Not caused by your full size pickup truck as the loonies would have you think.
Stack 20 reams of paper on top of each other which will be about four feet tall (10,000 sheets). Pull four sheets out. They represent roughly the C02 in the atmosphere at this time.

I would imagine the South Pole ice grows and shrinks just the opposite of the North Pole
Many people commenting notice the summer ice area is getting smaller but winter is always the same.
Try to imagine that you have a block of ice that is floating in a wide bucket of water.
You put it in the freezer. What will happen? The water in the bucket will start to freeze from the surface. So at one point you will have a thin crust of ice that will get thicker and thicker the more time the bucket is in the freezer.
Now you take it out of the freezer to simulate Summer. What you get is the ice getting thinner and thinner and at one point all the winter ice disappears and what is left is the original block of old ice. That block will now melt more and more and if you keep the bucket out of the freezer long enough, it will disappear and you will get the NO ICE state. When you put it in again, ice will again cover the WHOLE surface of the bucket but you will not think it is completely fine because you now know you kept the bucket out too long and your big block of ice is gone.
Another thing to keep in mind is that ice acts as a mirror for the Sun. So the cover of ice in the winter is irrelevant because it is the polar night. But the amount of surface covered by ice in Summer is very important because the Sun then shines 24/7.
You aren’t aware that we are coming out of a mini ice age that ended in the late 18,00’s? That is when the glaciers started melting and it’s well documented, we are nowhere near historical temps yet.
Keep in mind that the planet has been through many inter glacial periods that were warmer than it is today. as someone mentioned in the comments they are finding artifacts that have been buried since the little ice age that started 1100 ad and lasted until around the American Civil war in the 1850s The problem is not the ice melting because that is a good thing. less ice means more land and more water. without the ice on the land it will rise up higher because of isostatic rebound giving more land spaces than what we will loose from rising oceans. Yes earth will get +8 degrees F hotter but that will make for more evaporation and more rainfall.
I do not know why the green parties push the ice age because every time we go into an ice age it comes with a great loss of life. Not just human life but plant animal and marine life too. Every ice age is dry and cold you have a famine issue and diseases and plagues because if there is less food means you make more risks eating bad/spoiled food and with less food your immune system does not work 100%. On top of that you have more war over territories because people have less food because Winter in effected areas are 3x longer and summers are 3x shorter.
The real problem that we need to focus on is the pollution of the water. That is a real problem we dump our trash and our poo into the oceans hoping they just go away. We need to find a way to clean up after ourselves not try to start another ice age, The planet will choose when that will happen without our help.
Also keep in mind that the Earth was without ice a whole lot longer than it has been covered with ice. if you take all the times Earth had glaciers since it had formed that we have discovered.
The Huronian: glaciation from 2.45 billion years ago that lasted 230 million years,
The Cryogenian: 720 mya lasted 75 million years, The Ordovician glaciation, 440 mya but had cycles like todays lasting 1 to 5 million years between both cycle. This one has been studied extensively as it is thought to be associated with one of the 5 major mass extinctions of the Phanerozoic. ( The Cambrian world was bracketed between two ice ages, one during the late Proterozoic and the other during the Ordovician. During these ice ages, the decrease in global temperature led to mass extinctions. Cooler conditions eliminated many warm water species, and glaciation lowered global sea level)
The Karoo ice age the Carboniferous-Permian glaciation is thought to have spanned from the Mississipian starting around 360 mya lasting 70 million years Thought to have ended the Permian that brought in the Dinochickens.
Finally the current one that has been going after the extinction event that killed the dinochickens (that was after 165 million years of tropical warm weather.) basically starting around 35 mya during the early Oligocene. by my calculation that means the Earth has been covered in ice a total of 415 million years total out of just the 3.7 billion years that there has just been life on the planet. That is not taking in the full age of the planet and its forming and collision to get the moon.
So I hope that you can see that ice ages are not a good thing as they often bring extinctions as a party gift.
I did not want to edit my last part as this is not relevant to what I wrote but also take into thought that the area in the map is the north pole and is just ice on the water and not the actual Glaciation that occurs on land that can get 2 to 4 miles thick. As far as I am aware of since the 1940s the US and Russian subs have been mapping and cutting under the north pole ice caps for decades and even more so after the invention of the Nuclear class subs. the actual Glaciation is on Antarctica and Greenland and on mountain ranges in Argentina, Chile, Canada, Alaska, Mountain glaciers are widespread, especially in the Andes, the Himalayas, the Rocky Mountains, the Caucasus, Scandinavian mountains, and the Alps.
So the volcanic ash and soot that falls on the ice changed its reflectivity? And maybe we need to remember the Icelandic volcano from the 2010s?
thickness?

Yes, Just the whole integalcial should come to an end. We can only hope that this warming period holds on for a while, like the roman or medieval one..
Coinciding with el Nino surges of recent times, surely its linked to Pacific tectonic activity?
Or atlantic. The AMO cycle actually tells us that there is 30 years of warming followed by 30 years of cooling or stagnation. Next 30 years will be a negative phase.
On my own time table, I've been hearing this doomsday thing since 1990, polar caps have melted and all the polar bears drowned by 20 years ago, per what's his name. Oh and I live on a boat in the Atlantic/Gulf of Mexico. (Orlando FL)
Ocasio Cortez described it best when confronted with this fact: "we don't know when it's going to happen, but it will". I agree. When is the sun supposed engulf Earth?
How many predictions have come and gone? Last I looked Florida was still there. Now we are supposed to turn the world upside down because they are predicting a 1 to 2-degree rise a hundred years from now? Three strikes and you're out, and the climate scientists predicting doom and gloom passed that marker a long time ago. Personally, I don't think they know their ass from a hole in the wall.
What about the depth of the ice?
It clearly shows ice concentration as a color gradient.
Why are so many of you saying this when it’s right there in front of your face? Are you just ignoring it?
Wintertime seems to stay the same, more or less. But the last few Summers looked pretty scarce. Frightening.

Nobody knows what you see. According to your comment, you saw pixels on the screen.
@@gehwissen3975 I saw a video that showed no change whatsoever.
@@anthonymorris5084 may be your resolution is an issue here.
There is an obvious trend over time. The Data beyond the animation is pretty clear.
This video proves that not much has changed since 1994.
So, it has not changed in 30 years.
Did you not watch the video yet? Because there are very obvious differences which anyone can see who's not here to support their political agenda.
@@j.d.waterhouse4197 Laughable to suggest climate change occurs over 30 years!!!
@@j.d.waterhouse4197stay home and eat a bug while hidding under the bed in fear. I'm going to the same rock ledge I've fished from for fifty years that still has the barnacles at the same high tide mark as always. 😂
As A kid in the 1970's and being Norwegian in Minnesota, I rather looked forward to the Glaciers and ice age, but 1989 came and went with nary a glacier in sight. I guess it was just a seasonal thing, ice in the winter, water in the summer.
looks like it grew 15%
One memory I have is when our local weather person said that 2013 has been the determined the coldest year globally in recorded history, easy sell for me, that year we had temperatures many days -25 to -45 and in the past 30 years we have set and rest total annual snowfall records also (in my area), for whatever that's worth, that's here in Michigan, and this thing here proves all is well, still working our way out of the last ice age.
Your local weatherman was talking about a local record. 2013 is in the top ten warmest years in the instrumental record.
@@lrvogt1257 Global temps were higher 50 years ago, a 100 years ago and 10,000 years ago, there is no climate crisis it is climate change, absolutely normal.
@@user-Dr. No. None of that is true.
See "NASA Vital Signs Global Temperature."
This is the highest CO2 ppm in 3 million years and the highest temperatures in 125,000 years. Those who care can look it up for themselves.
Meanwhile where I live (Hungary) there hasn't been much in terms of snow fall since my early childhood.
I remember my parents telling me that when they were younger, we used to have thick snow for most of winter.
These days we're lucky to get a thin layer of snow for a few days at most.
The last time there was enough snow to build a snow man was back in the 2000s.
You aren't convincing me that theres no climate crisis.
@@avandorhu-3389 What's the crisis, can't make a snowman, we're have a much more normal winter here finally, last year climate activists set thousands of forest fires in the northern hemisphere spewing more pollution and particulate into the atmosphere than the automobile has in its entire history, all of these wars Biden has started, terrible pollution, we have a lot of things we can do to clean our act up, it's the rich elites creating all of the pollution.
whoops
If no one is left to say "the World is a beauty" the World cannot be a beauty anymore.
