Yeah, for being isolated for millions of years, shit must’ve gotten weird there. I would imagine an green Antarctica would become the new land to explore, and it would be similar to what happened when the Americas were discovered.
Living in Canada, I was encouraged by how many times he said "similar to Canada" until it was pointed out that it was basically going to be post-glacial bedrock dotted with lakes. So all the blackflies and barren rock of Canadian Shield areas, without the charming boreal forest. The only hope left in that pitch is that penguins are delicious and fun to either hunt or farm.

Plot twist. The melting ice uncovers the entrance to the hollow earth and a horde of penguins with advanced technology exact revenge on humanity for exiling them to the frozen wastes.
NO OFFENSE, but I like how the map at 1:38 illustrates that the same lower sea levels that completely flood the Amazon simultaneously form a land bridge between Spain and Morocco.
For those confused, flat earthers think the earth is a disk with the north pole at the center, and the antarctic isn't a continent but a giant ring of ice. Depending on what "theory" they believe in either the wall is holding in the oceans or hide other lands on the other side.
A quick math check. 14.000.000 km2 x 1.6 km thick ice is 22.400.000 km3 of ice Converted to water that yields 20.608.000 km3 of water Spread over a total area of 361.000.000 km2 of ocean water, that gives an increase in sea level of 57 metres. So, well done on the math! I still don't know where the 26.500.000 km3 at 1:14 comes from...
Have you ever seen a fox trying to hunt something several times its size and between 5 and 10 times more heavy? Something like a sheep, a calve or young deers? No? Me neither. Then I think most penguin species have nothing to worry about foxes. Especially considering most of the animals above usually hang out in groups of tens at most while most penguins live in colonies of tens of thousands.
Give the industry a chance, if its there, it will be found. No worries many lifetimes in the future, you will never see it. By then, we be warpin' the galaxy!
Nah... you look at the map for 60m of sea level rise and nearly half of China will be flooded. That's how America keeps its power in the world, by melting Antarctica to destroy China.

I'm glad you mentioned that the continent would rise after removing the weight of up to 4 kilometres of ice thickness. Did your predicted dry land account for the rise in sea level? Don't worry about the penguins, they will have died out long before the ice finishes melting.

I'm pretty sure they taste awful anyway. I found this quote from an antarctic expedition: “If it’s possible to imagine a piece of beef, odiferous cod fish and a canvas-backed duck roasted together in a pot, with blood and cod-liver oil for sauce, the illustration would be complete.”
"Hopefully, the UN could mitigate land distribution to avoid things getting violent." Bwahahaha! Oh, wait, you're serious? That's even funnier. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I have a question. If you fill a a 1 gallon bucket with 1/2 gallon water and 1/2 gallon of ice, what would happen when that ice melted? Wouldn't you still have a 1 gallon bucket? If the answer is yes, than why is it different when it comes to glacier ice?
I've always thought it a bit of shame that Antarctica didn't happen to be a bit farther north, maybe between South America and Africa, sort of the opposite side of the globe from Australia, we would have another livable continent.
Not only that, but the living situations there would be better for us if the Earth wasn't tilted so that the place could have consistent days and nights rather than a single day lasting half a year. Like imagine your mother saying "Go to sleep it's Winter, past your bedtime".
Why so more morons could wreck yet another continent? It is in man’s inherent nature to destroy everything and with the idiots now they are literally going to ruin every country and continent on the planet
I saw a video of a newly discovered ecosystem that's separated from the ocean but abundant with life in the water under the ice. The oxygen levels are extremely high in these waters creating extra large forms of isopods and crabs, starfish. I'm hoping more exploration footage comes out of this unique ecosystem that is in this otherwise plain area. Oh and besides penguins don't forget leopard seals that hunt the penguins. They are fierce predators

UN is a joke, with Saudi Arabia iirc being in charge of human rights. Saudi Arabia which got a human rights activist assassinated and chopped up a person in Turkey. Yeah land would be given to the corrupted and rich. It won't end up good.
@@HueghMungus I mean, the USA and Europe have a lot of push in the world and have their good share of both Human Rights violations and war crimes. Saudi Arabia having power is circumstancial, they literally have it because they're useful to the US and EU, while "not useful" countries like Venezuela get the Cuba treatment, even though more journalists are killed per year literally next door in Mexico. The US is an excuse to be used when it can make more money. Which is why it fails.
The UN is toothless by design. No state was ever going to surrender significant power to a supranational organisation like that, especially if it actually got in the way of their exploiting undeveloped nations. The UN is principally tolerated because it acts as a mouthpiece for legitimising regime change wars.
The ice in the north pole is melting, but the ice in Antarctica is actually growing. This is mainly due to the fact that the northern arctic is predominantly situated over water-which is gradually warming, while the Antarctic ice is mostly situated over a dry continental shelf which is a desirable place for ice growth.
Yes! At least every map claims this. The dark green areas of the map are tricky because if Antarctica melted, so would likely a lot of greenland and the arctic sea ice, so it's hard to constrain the map to just Antarctica melting, but that is what it should look like.

Climate change looks a lot like some sort of terraforming project. Oil companies already have designs on arctic oil. Tge Antarctic Treaty forbids drilling tge Antarctic for now. I would not be surprised if those companies have planned and are intentionally pushing for the extinction of all humanity to get at the raw material deposits on the southernmost continent.
@@davidwuhrer6704 Human beings aren't going extinct because they have to relocate their stupid cities inland. And Antarctic isn't melting away by stupid global warming or climate change of a few degrees a century. It will take like millions of years to melt all of those ice through increased CO2, but even so called scientists are debating if the antarctic ice is currently melting or growing. But did you know that north america and europe was all covered with 1-2 mile thick ice just 13,000 years ago, and then all of it were almost instantly gone? Yes, it took less than 10 years for all of that ice to go away. Watch ua-cam.com/video/G0Cp7DrvNLQ/v-deo.html and get informed man....
@TheZoneRanger Well, wenn coal became the most efficient fuel, saving on wood-based fuel resources, coal consumption went through the roof, exceeding what wood fuel consumption used to be.
After the ice melts and free from the weight of it the land will start to rise. This is happening in Sweden. Lands that were once lakes etc as little as 400 years ago are now farm land.
The one thing that this video didn't really touch on all that much that I think would drastically affect the continent is the changing global temperatures as a result of the losing all that ice cover. Since ice and snow have a high albedo (light reflectivity) these surfaces reflect an enormous amount of light energy that would otherwise strike the earth and be absorbed as heat energy, and since more snow means more reflection taking away an entire continent worth of glaciers would mean that the global temperatures are going to astronomically increase. I feel this video assumes Antarctica would become a tundra climate based solely on its geographic location at the southern tip of the world without considering the global temperature increase. Maybe the continent's soil would be garbage immediately after the snow melts, but given a couple thousands of years, desertification of regions along the equator, and societal devastation along the current coasts? I think Antarctica would become one of the few nutrient rich continents left on the planet with every nation fighting for control over it
@ Da Beast From Da Antartica: So the solar energy reflected by the white ice - exactly how does it escape the atmosphere? I can see how the ground would be warmer (obviously the ice is gone), but if I understand your point the energy never reaches the earth because it is "reflected". Since it is radiant energy I don't follow. Please explain.
@@1badtubeman Reflected light escapes the atmosphere in much the same way as it entered. Some light is absorbed by particles in the air during the trip in each direction, but not very much. A much larger proportion of the energy from the light (and thus, the eventual heat it will become), is determined by what it hits when it reaches the ground. Objects that are very reflective reflect much of the light they receive, so it bounces back out. We generally see such objects as being white, because that's what we see when you combine all the visible wavelengths our eyes are sensitive to. Some of the light energy that reflects off of objects on the ground will be reflected back again by the atmosphere or absorbed by atmospheric particles, but much of it will actually just pass back out into space. The darker the ground cover is, the more light it absorbs, and thus the more sunlight becomes heat. Water ice can be fairly reflective, by comparison, so worlds covered in ice actually absorb much less heat overall, and ice cover on Earth is helpful in reducing the overall heat absorbed from sunlight. As the world becomes warmer on average, there will be less ice, and thus darker ground cover will absorb more energy from sunlight, leading to an increase in the amount of heat in the system. It's one of many vicious feedback effects in climate change.

After displacing 2 billion people by burning oil, I bet some people would still be excited that it uncovered more oil.

The melting ice uncovers the entrance to the hollow earth and a horde of penguins with advanced technology exact revenge on humanity for exiling them to the frozen wastes.

Converted to water that yields 20.608.000 km3 of water
Spread over a total area of 361.000.000 km2 of ocean water, that gives an increase in sea level of 57 metres. So, well done on the math! I still don't know where the 26.500.000 km3 at 1:14 comes from...

The ice in the north pole is melting, but the ice in Antarctica is actually growing. This is mainly due to the fact that the northern arctic is predominantly situated over water-which is gradually warming, while the Antarctic ice is mostly situated over a dry continental shelf which is a desirable place for ice growth.

When you show the coastline either pre or post rebound are you taking into account the new higher sea level created by the melted ice?
After the ice melts and free from the weight of it the land will start to rise. This is happening in Sweden. Lands that were once lakes etc as little as 400 years ago are now farm land.
Isostatic rebounding is happening also in Sweden and Finland. In Finland´s west coast 100 cm in 100 years.
The one thing that this video didn't really touch on all that much that I think would drastically affect the continent is the changing global temperatures as a result of the losing all that ice cover. Since ice and snow have a high albedo (light reflectivity) these surfaces reflect an enormous amount of light energy that would otherwise strike the earth and be absorbed as heat energy, and since more snow means more reflection taking away an entire continent worth of glaciers would mean that the global temperatures are going to astronomically increase.
I feel this video assumes Antarctica would become a tundra climate based solely on its geographic location at the southern tip of the world without considering the global temperature increase. Maybe the continent's soil would be garbage immediately after the snow melts, but given a couple thousands of years, desertification of regions along the equator, and societal devastation along the current coasts? I think Antarctica would become one of the few nutrient rich continents left on the planet with every nation fighting for control over it
@ Da Beast From Da Antartica: So the solar energy reflected by the white ice - exactly how does it escape the atmosphere? I can see how the ground would be warmer (obviously the ice is gone), but if I understand your point the energy never reaches the earth because it is "reflected". Since it is radiant energy I don't follow. Please explain.
@@1badtubeman Reflected light escapes the atmosphere in much the same way as it entered. Some light is absorbed by particles in the air during the trip in each direction, but not very much. A much larger proportion of the energy from the light (and thus, the eventual heat it will become), is determined by what it hits when it reaches the ground. Objects that are very reflective reflect much of the light they receive, so it bounces back out. We generally see such objects as being white, because that's what we see when you combine all the visible wavelengths our eyes are sensitive to. Some of the light energy that reflects off of objects on the ground will be reflected back again by the atmosphere or absorbed by atmospheric particles, but much of it will actually just pass back out into space.
The darker the ground cover is, the more light it absorbs, and thus the more sunlight becomes heat. Water ice can be fairly reflective, by comparison, so worlds covered in ice actually absorb much less heat overall, and ice cover on Earth is helpful in reducing the overall heat absorbed from sunlight. As the world becomes warmer on average, there will be less ice, and thus darker ground cover will absorb more energy from sunlight, leading to an increase in the amount of heat in the system. It's one of many vicious feedback effects in climate change.
