Antarctica emergency: Scientists shocked as sea ice melts | New Scientist Weekly 279

- Опубліковано 5 лют 2025
- Antarctic sea ice is melting at an unprecedented rate. A collapse like the one we’re seeing was given just a 1 in 700 billion year chance of happening, based on climate models - we basically thought it was impossible. Melting ice in Antarctica will have global scale, knock-on ecological and climate consequences. To address the crisis, five hundred researchers met in Australia for an emergency summit for the future of the Antarctic. Sarah Thompson, one of the scientists at the conference, is working in Antarctica right now and shares her experiences assessing the damage in the region. Also hear from Sharon Robinson from the University of Wollongong, who explores how the ecology of the region is changing.
A new type of brain implant technology is being developed that will allow direct access to a patient’s brain in a more intimate way. Most devices place metal electrodes and wires into the brain, but this method is instead using living neurons to form a connection with the brain. Brain-computer interfaces are used to help treat conditions like ALS or stroke, as well as allowing patients to control technology with their mind. Researchers at the Science Corporation in California have tested their new method on mice - but can it be done in humans?

Unfortunately humanity is ruled by large corporations not the pseudo democracies we thought had the power.
It's worse than that, isn't it? Climate denialism and minimization is still very popular, so even with perfect democracies we would be toast.
Even among the well informed, how many of us live our lives in a way that is consistent with our knowledge of this crisis? Ditching the car, forgoing plane trips, consuming a plant-based diet, etc.
@@Frostbiker Perhaps the uberwealthy fossil fuel corporations have propagandized the public into climate change denial. Is that democracy?
@@Frostbiker...I do much of that ...except...can't ditch the car...her..I live in a rural place...not public trans..and ..my husband would never give up the car.. the best I can do in that respect...is ..not buy new ones ..which. I can't anyway...I am not that rich ..at least ..buying used..doesn't create as much demand...in new car manufacturing...? I do the same with clothes..bought second hand .all my life...probably about 90% ..you know....gotta buy new underwear....
And in the USA we elected an idiot who thinks there is no global warming. Tragic
Yeah he is going to insure we hit carbon budget in the next 4 years
An idiot?" Crap, we've elected whole armies of idiots. Meet your city council, county commissioners, state and federal legislators and chamber of commerce.
He will go down in history as one of the worst things to happen to our planet. And the amount of people that continue to fall for his complete nonsense is just astounding.
Your brainwasted by the left green people
This is the bs that people are constantly told. He does know that there is global warming. His best bud is Rex Tillerson and he knew how bad things would get back in the 70s'. What Trump is doing now is grifting from those he believes to be doomed all the while prepping his pressi bunker. He is not a global warming denier. He is just pure evil.
Guy McPherson has been saying this stuff for years. When the head of the American Petroleum institute said that we had a few years to fix this in 1965, the time to act was then. We had all we needed to know then to act but we blew it.
More..or less...but..we wouldn't fix it..if consumerism kept growing ...planetary overshoot...is the umbrella issue.
He was correct, to say "a few years" to fix it. It's way to late to preserve the exact conditions we evolved in.
Now, we are indeed headed into the Sixth Mass Extinction---one in which a living creature instigated and quickened the pace of. Many spieci have gone (and will continue to) go extinct.
Unless Humanity is extremely stupid, in an unprecidented way, we will make it through this calamity. Western Globalized Capitalust Civilization, likely will not.
I am sailing very far south, to pass on my skills (Engineering and Handyman and Music), to the small groups that might survive. My old Hunter 34 sailboat, is almost ready. The Magellan Strait, now still a bit chilly, will warm nicely in my lifetime.

Everything is happening so fast lately you have to pretend it is a movie so you can continue to gather information about the abrupt changes we are seeing.
I asked AI what to do and it said install a hypercromoxide nuclear reactor to power a BitCoin mine to become richer than Midas. It's going to kill everything in 100 square miles but I can't spend elk, pronghorn, eagles, foxes and all that silly stuff. I got mansions to build, pools to heat, car collections to house, personal jet aircraft hangars, a little place for my lover, NFTs to own, EVs and AC, plus charitable contributions to the Save the Penguins Fund. Now if the homeless and drug addicted would disappear like the dodo.
Are those Save the Penguins Fund contributions tax deductible? If so I might be interested.
Typical lowbrow squatter serf Quisling joiner talk.
“It’s a hoax”-Donald Trump
He’s the smartest man in the world he says it himself!
😂😂😂
... and he should know, being the smartest man in the world! So reassuring.
The only hoax is the mass hallucination that got him elected.
Glad I chose never to have children. I’m in my early 40s and things are going to get extremely dire due to climate change (and resulting food shortages, wars, etc) in the coming years and decades.
Same here.
43 and watched miserable divorces and men always having to pay-
Decided its not for me.
Single, celibate and love it.....
Yeah good because the last thing we need is simple minded dumb believers like you around. Do some research mate and find out if what they say has any validity.
@ Being childfree doesn’t need to mean being single or celibate- I just had a vasectomy in my mid thirties to rule it out. It was a really minor operation - less bad than getting a filling done at the dentists. I’d only ever date women who also never want children - statistically that’s around 10% of women. So a smaller dating pool and more screening initially to find the childfree women but they are out there.
I haven’t dated in years myself but that’s because I got badly into debt (I have ADHD and running a self employed business for the first time was hard with no sense of time and poor organisation and willpower so ADHD people regularly have financial struggles) and decided not to till I sorted that. Hopefully by next summer I will have debts sorted at last though so I can finally go back to dating. I’m fairly adapted to being single and celibate but I don’t love it and I’d prefer not to be.
I've seen that argument before. But the future is unknowable, is so chance-dependent. How can you tell the child you didn't have, would have been someone who as a politician or scientist, radically improved the situation? You can't. If anyone wants/likes kids, take a deep breath and have them. Or adopt, or whatever.
@ oh having children or not is a personal decision and varies between people. I was naturally perhaps 95% sure I didn’t want children myself anyway but it was the state of the climate and future that made me make it certain I wouldn’t have them by having a vasectomy. There’s a solid moral argument that it’s unethical having children given the way the future is looking. Also not having a child or one less is the single biggest lifestyle change individuals can make to reduce the climate change emissions they cause (much more so than switching to an EV or not flying) so the more of us don’t have children the better chance humanity and other species have. I’m not suggesting everyone not have children either, but less works be helpful.
So many people care but just not enough to change how they live.
I dont know the answer but I do try and lead by example and I do change opinion one person at a time.
The other downside to this is that those that don't care, carry on as normal and then when it gets extreme they will run for cover and expect those of us that have tried to slow this change, to take them under our wings.
Nothing shocks more than the real thing.
Maybe a rise of 1.5 meter will finally trigger
the sense of urgency needed.
Probably not, just see more ads for boats on TV.
"Overwhelming and Depressing"---you mean the demise of over half the population, and the death of most of the biospheres north of the Equator? Could be ...
💀
Ah, the word apocalyptic springs to mind when I hear these horrific figures coming from Antartica. FUBAR.
7 STANDARD DEVIATIONS.... WASF.
The day when Greenland lost its ice. I hope it won’t be in my life time. You never know. Next decade will give us a better insight but I feel the desperation of the scientists and the hopelessness
I think sea level rise is the least of our worries and that we become clear in the coming years
Yeah you do realize this about Antarctica on the South while Greenland is up North.
Also , video fails to explain how long it would take - couple 100s years, to melt it all. Yet, 1,5m up in 2100 is not at all impossible, but not so likely.
But I'd fear more about simultaneous crop failures in major food growing areas, which become increasingly frequent as the atmospheric jet stream gets weaker, causing dangerous weather systems to hang around for much longer, leading to more damages. Either drought or flood, both can destroy crops on a massive scale.
Spain and Brazil have had millions of damages due to extensive flooding, which is going to reflect in regional food pricing, possibly leading to political unrest. The Taliban takeover and the Arab Spring followed on extreme food price hikes, in those cases because of droughts.
So many systems are all collapsing right now. Yeah..our goose is cooked. If you need a place to mourn the loss of this planets life…check into Deep Adaptation. They know we are all done for….now it is all about the glide path.
There are MILES deep ice that is hundreds of thousands of years old on Greenland. It's not going to jump off land and into the ocean to melt rapidly, that's not how it works. Greenland won't melt for hundreds if not thousands of years.
Antarctic glaciers, however, are on slopes leading to the ocean, and a few of those massive glaciers are starting to move far faster than they ever have before.
@@jaykanta4326 optimism optimism . i think you need to listen to the scientists. these are the people who actually have been in the field studying the phenomena. 2030 is not far away. why you don't see what your home insurance situation and look back at this statement you made? so far things are worse than the scientists have been predicting.
Surely our politicians have our best interests at heart
Surely if there was a problem our politicians would be acting
Surely our politicians would not allow greed or self-interest to allow the lobby industry to sway them from their public service
SURELY. And they would never ever lie to us either, right?
It is long past the time that we had a font for sarcasm. Politicians are adversarial to the demos and represent the capitalists always have been .As Frank said " Government is the entertainment arm of Big Business
The politicians gain licence from being in bed with the Establishment, which has considerable oversight of the decisions the country takes. It did not intervene, for example, to mitigate the chaos and hardship wreaked on the country from 2008 onwards, that included the grossest acts of incompetence, mismanagement and corruption. Our collective individual votes do not make a great deal of difference in the way the system ticks on and certainly hardly cause Westminster eyes to blink on climate change.
@@1lightheaded I'll be first in line to get and use the new font. Meanwhile I'll try to word things in such an outrageous way that no one could miss the sarcasm. (Which, I grant, no matter how outrageous the wording, can in this insane world STILL be missed.)
@@1lightheadedI understood the quote from Frank Zappa to be “politics is the entertainment division of the military industrial complex”. I’ve recently heard different variations on the phrase.
Every day counts. Walk in grace, embracing love❤
Seven standard-devations, means we are dead - nothing can save us!
No. It means climate change has happened and is continuing to happen. That doesn't mean we're all going to die. It does mean more of us will survive if we take radical action to address the things we're doing that are causing it, though.
@@tealkerberus748sadly no one’s going to do anything to address climate change, the opposite, trump is all about drill baby drill and coal burning coal 😢
@@tealkerberus748 I will not debate with you. However consider thinking over the following, (1) the ice that is melting cannot be 'refrozen' - and that warming will destroy various ecosystems (2) Photosynthesis fails at about 35°C - so we are staring at food crises as high temperatures will dwindle away the wheat and rice bowls of the world and devastate the tropical vegetation (3) There will be millions of refugees at North America and Europe due to lack of food and water (4) The economy will take a big tumble (5) Read about insect apocalypse (6) Read about global dimming effect (or the aerosol masking effect) (7) carbon-di-oxide and methane in the atmosphere are highest ever in the recorded human history of the planet (8) COP29 was a failure (9) Read the last two IPCC report (or at least the summary). Call me a doomer - but check the facts for yourself.
During the PETM, Primates first evolved---small tree dwellers. So, it doesn't mean every single organism will die, just almost all of us. I purchased a sailboat (in the 35 foot range; mine in 34.5 feet) for under a grand, and have spent then last two years repairing and stocking-up, to sail to below the Equator, where the warming is only half as fast. I'm pursuing the "Sailing The Farm" analog. Book is by Neumyer. I suggest many others do the same. It's the Magellan Strait, for me---warming up as we speak.
@@Arkapravo Correct, especially about photosynthesis. It's always been about growing food "at scale", not more air conditioners. Join me, buy a boat (mine was under a grand), and sail south. That's why the have chosen New Zealand as the new Ravenna.
@10:24. Might want to start fighting the problem in Australia with coal being the number one energy source.
And over a million beef cattle in CAFOs in Qld....for a start. Oh yeah, and tar and feather Scott Harris...
Start by not believing the BS Lies they're telling and hey maybe do some research for yourself instead of simply believing what you're told for a change.
There are people protesting. Megacorps wont stop without serious, serious resistance however.
Should be over 50% renewables in the next few years.
Dont worry.
Plastic pollution, and hazardous waste will contaminate your drinking water and food long before the oceans rise deep enough to worry but something tells me ot will all happen at the same time.
@@rdallas81 likely partially why average life spans that rose for decades are now falling. If we over build solar in some countries we can use excess power to desalinate clean water though.
Actually, people will die from raging fires due to dry conditions and not having any water to fight the infernos.
@glyngreen538 it's true.
Places all over the US are contaminated.
In the future, nuclear waste "storage" will seep into the groundwater- oil industry waste, dump site waste will all seep into water, and the plastic and pfoa and pfas and all the other chemicals will absolutely no doubt about it play a role in declining health, declining life expectancy, and a rapid declining ability to prosper for the majority-
@glyngreen538 I believe the chemicals are already changing hormones and signaling in human brains and is at least partially playing a role in the rise of Chomosensuality (if you catch my drift)
Begin to understand the Exponential Function ...
I have no words for any of you. You KNOW the math is right. Yet you and good old Sarah Thompson talk about what an amazing opportunity to try and study "mitigating" the problem. WTF is wrong with you?
Do Leukemia patients "mitigate" death? Love you family, garden, pets. Thats' it. end.
New Scientist , i stopped subbing after their endless fossil fuel adds and general `adds `greenwash . The reality is vast overshoot ,swapping fossil fueled chainsaws for electric ones is meaningless . as is `renewable `shopping . In fact New Scientist is super guilty of false promises at the one time we need to face reality .
You're exactly right, they've fallen for propaganda
Yep, anybody who still thinks we can buy our way out of this mess is entirely kidding themselves. God help the sorry lot of us. Nothing short of a radical rethinking of the way we live will do, and it is already far too late to avoid some of the worst consequences of this crisis.
Next time please put your computer on a solid surface rather than knees. I’ve done that before and was corrected by my zoom group. Distracting for such an exceedingly important topic.
Save trees save life
Paul Beckwith started that "What happens in the Arctic, doesn't stay in the Arctic," line. ... Clearly, the Arctic got a head start, but when the circumpolar current climbed on top of the Antarctic continental shelf, the whole of everything has changed.
Take all the floating plastic glue it together paint it brilliant white and park it around Antarctica, worth a shot 😮
I recommend that you also watch the video: The Two Best Approaches To Promote The Refreezing Of The Arctic Sea Ice, and be sure to read the description below.
And if you know any esteemed climate scientists, ask them if theses two approaches have ever been tried on any scale at all. If they can work on Arctic Sea Ice, they would also likely work on the Antarctic.
It's also interesting to note that during the last two Southern Hemisphere Summers, the Antarctic ice has improved and today is the best it's been in 8 years.
Time we adapt.
There is no adapting for the extinct. One only needs to have some comprehension of the latent heat of ice & look at the ice record anomaly.
The time to adapt began 40 years ago when scientists said the global warming signal had been observed. And the simple adaptation would have been a transition to green energy. But greed-ridden petrochemical companies had already decided that they did not want that to happen and so rigged the game so that it would be ever harder to move the economy away from fossil fuels.
Our corporate lords in the United States are telling us it’s growing.
Through a small hole 200 meters deep they can tell so much. What a crock of penguin droppings. The truth is this summer in Antarctica, the ice is the best it's been in 8 years. Think I'll be avoiding New Scientist videos in the future
04:22 The phrase you use was coined by Paul Beckwith.
A Uni Canadian climate teacher who's had a great YT channel on climate change running for over 25 years.
He coined the term at least 10 years ago.
Recently I overheard that plants are actually growing in some sections!
So?
Normally whats the lose of ice i'm.Antartica....also i would like to hear more about if theres some info on exploration for minery in its very frágile ecosistem. Could it be part.of the problem?
The whole world will better off without those mega cities on the coast.
Sure it's important to research, learn and understand what's happening, but people must get together and DO things to mitigate the effects of global warming on Antarctica. Couldn't they try to do something to save some of these penguin chicks? I used to be a researcher and all we do is collect data, but do nothing for the environment where we're collecting this data from. This should change as this is a crisis situation.
I’m sure the “corporation” wants to engineer your work experience. No doubt.
Regarding the science fiction and Supacell, wasnt Misfits like Heroes, but in South London?
Is the coming failure of the AMOC relevant, could that failure cause an Ice Age?
Just a few years ago, 91 volcanoes were discovered under the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. The whole continent is known to be tectonically active. So, which is more likely to be melting ice? Geothermal heat from below, or air temperatures of -25ºC and less?
JAQing off nonsense. The volcanic activity is not new.
The rapid movement of the ice sheets and the coastal melt is new.
@@jaykanta4326 Every winter, the Antarctic doubles in area due to floating sea ice, every summer that ice melts. Why would you expect that exactly the same amount forms and melts every year? There are larger forces at work here, orbital variation being just one, but you want to believe that a trace gas can melt ice in sub-zero air temperatures.
@@jerrypalmer1786 Hilarious how you have to lie and manipulate the evidence.
You're also using strawmen, and you have no evidence. It's pretty ridiculous how you denialists come to science channels.
## Examining the "Map" and "Territory" of Climate Change in Antarctica
This analysis will apply the map-territory concept to the provided text, specifically focusing on climate change in Antarctica.
**Territory:** The "territory" refers to the actual, physical reality of climate change in Antarctica. It encompasses several key elements:
* **Measurable Changes:** This includes the documented decrease in sea ice extent, rising ocean temperatures, melting ice shelves, and shifts in ocean salinity. These are quantifiable shifts happening in the physical environment.
* **Ecological Impacts:** These include the consequences of these physical changes on Antarctic ecosystems, such as the breeding failure of emperor penguins due to sea ice loss, potential habitat loss for species dependent on sea ice, and changes in vegetation patterns.
* **Global Implications:** The "territory" also includes the potential global effects of Antarctic climate change, such as rising sea levels and disruptions to ocean currents. These impacts extend beyond Antarctica and affect the entire planet.
**Map:** The "map" represents how scientists, researchers, and the media are interpreting and communicating the complex reality of climate change in Antarctica. This includes:
* **Scientific Data and Models:** Researchers are using satellite data, on-site measurements (like drilling through ice shelves), and complex climate models to understand and project changes in Antarctica. These tools provide a "map" of what is happening and what might happen in the future.
* **Scientific Conferences and Communication:** Events like the emergency summit in Hobart, Tasmania, where scientists share their findings and discuss the implications, serve as a crucial part of the "map." This exchange of information and expert opinions helps shape the understanding of the situation.
* **Media Coverage:** The text itself acts as a "map" by reporting on the scientific findings, expert opinions, and the overall sense of urgency surrounding the issue. It translates complex data and scientific language into a narrative that the general public can understand.
### Evaluating the Effectiveness of the "Map"
The effectiveness of the "map" depends on how accurately it reflects the "territory" and guides appropriate action. Here are three examples:
**Example 1: The "Seven Standard Deviations" Statistic**
* **Map:** The statistic highlighting the 2023 sea ice extent being seven standard deviations below the mean effectively communicates the extreme nature of the event and grabs attention.
* **Territory:** This statistical anomaly reflects the unprecedented scale of sea ice loss and aligns with the observed trend of rapid change in Antarctica.
* **Effectiveness:** This particular element of the "map" is effective in conveying the severity and unusual nature of the situation. The use of a readily understandable statistic helps bridge the gap between scientific data and public comprehension.
**Example 2: Projections of Ice-Free Summers**
* **Map:** Scientists' projections of ice-free summers in Antarctica, potentially even before the Arctic, create a stark and alarming image of the future.
* **Territory:** While these projections are based on complex models and current trends, the actual timing of such an event remains uncertain. The "territory" might unfold differently than predicted.
* **Effectiveness:** The projections, while potentially effective in raising awareness and emphasizing the urgency of the situation, might also oversimplify the complexity of climate modeling. Communicating the inherent uncertainties in such projections is crucial to maintain trust and accuracy.
**Example 3: Linking Antarctic Changes to Global Impacts**
* **Map:** The text emphasizes the interconnected nature of the climate system, explaining how changes in Antarctica have consequences for global sea levels and ocean currents.
* **Territory:** Scientific understanding supports this interconnectedness, demonstrating how events in Antarctica can have far-reaching effects beyond the continent.
* **Effectiveness:** Connecting Antarctic changes to global impacts effectively expands the scope of the issue and highlights the importance of addressing climate change on a global scale. It avoids framing the problem as isolated to a distant region and emphasizes the shared stakes for humanity.
### Overall Assessment
The "map" presented in the text appears to be largely effective in communicating the reality and urgency of climate change in Antarctica. The use of impactful statistics, expert opinions, and links to global consequences helps bridge the gap between scientific understanding and public awareness.
However, maintaining a nuanced and accurate "map" is an ongoing process. It requires continuous scientific monitoring, transparent communication of uncertainties, and adaptation to new discoveries as the "territory" of climate change evolves.
Those numbers don't make sense. Each standard deviation should corespond to an order of magnitude for time. So 50,000 year to 1,000,000 year event. There is plenty of evidence for time scales of this magnitude already having happened.
It’s like nuclear war… I just hope it’s over quick.
8:07. Ya . When your Earth big , things just don't cool down fast.
The elephant in the room is human over-population, why won't scientists talk about this?
Because it's not. Energy generation is the elephant. We do it wrong, that's the problem.
And agriculture and mining, and sewage, and plastic, and.... Too many people and too much greed at any cost.

How many active volcanoes are under water along the west coasts of Antarctica?
It was in the 90’s when I first head. Over 140 now.
There are many non active volcanoes but only 2 active ones.
I love you people who have fuck-all experience in any science just figuring that you know better than the people on the ground studying the actual phenomena and collecting evidence. No, it's not volcanos, no it's not solar forcing, no, it doesn't matter if plants like CO2, too much is still gonna kill us, I could go on and on with the half-baked "what abouts" you morons come up with that have already been considered and discarded by climate scientists. The whole fucking ocean is warming, mate, the whole climate. The AMOC is on the brink, currents and mixing and salinity and CO2 capacity are all changing. If you think you somehow know better and it's just a couple of volcanos, go and do the work and publish it so these guys can tell you why you're wrong. If you're not prepared to do that, then you must accept what the evidence actually says from people who are actual experts. There's a reason they are experts, it's not just that they have different "opinions" to you.
Because it couldn't possibly be climate change, right?
Yeah, and they ALL just popped up in the last hundred years, right? Lord Monckton?
Humans are releasing CO2 at 100 times the rate of volcanoes . Can you say Permian Extinction?
Why did the Vikings expand and colonize west? Greenland lost her ice...and was productive for farming. So just a thousand years ago, it was warmer than it is today.
Warming is great...not terrible.
