What Will Happen if the Thwaites Glacier Melts?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 чер 2024
- The Thwaites Glacier, aptly named the Doomsday Glacier, has been raising concern among climate scientists as research reveals that it has begun to melt at an accelerating rate. As man-made climate change warms the oceans and melts ice faster, there is a risk of this massive glacier crossing its tipping point, and entering a period of unstoppable melting. But how close are we to crossing this tipping point? Have we already crossed it?

Yet beachfront property is still as popular as ever
It depends on which beach you’re talking about. Some insurance companies have already began hiking prices and even completely rejecting beach front property due to the unavoidable risk of stronger hurricanes and flooding in the next few decades. Same is true with areas prone to wildfires.
Corporate America is well aware of the threat of climate change, they just know they’ll have enough money to survive the worst case scenarios.
@@PlanetZeroVideos Any sea level rise yet?
@@charjl96 Yes there has been, but not enough to scare the public into taking action yet. Most coastal parts of Miami spend a good portion of the summer flooded now compared to the 70s and 80s. The issue is that once the sea level rises enough for people to take action, there will be positive feedback loops (tipping points) that have already been crossed.

Not to insurance companies.

CO2 re-heating , what nonsense !
In no case can CO2, and for several independent reasons, be the cause of any climatic variations.
Humans even less!
Because the order of magnitude of the anthropogenic flux of CO2 is very much less than 1% of that of the natural fluxes of the carbon cycle ....
and therefore even if the CO2 had the magical-climatic properties attributed to it by the IPCC (pure hypothesis for play) this flow would be easily absorbed by the regulatory mechanisms of this cycle ; photosynthesis alone would bring , after a short period of transition and adaptation of a kinetic nature due to the characteristic durations of plant growth (forests, crops, meadows, phytoplankton, etc.) , a new equilibrium would be reached with an increase in the atmospheric level of CO2 much lower than 1% (proportionality of small variations) , especially since plant life is deficient in CO2 (when trees appeared at the beginning of the Cambrian the CO2 level was more than 15 times higher than today). This is so true that, in some greenhouses , CO2 is injected in order to promote the growth of plantations (the only real greenhouse effect of CO2 !).
And if the concentration of CO2 increases further , the multiple other causes are not difficult to identify , it can only be something favorable to plants and therefore to Life in general.
The observed climatic variations which are not so extraordinary or catastrophic, on the contrary , can find much more plausible causes such as the interaction between the solar magnetic field, the terrestrial magnetic field, the fluxes of cosmic, solar and galactic, rays. . This interaction (spallation phenomenon) strongly influences the formation of clouds , particularly during the nocturnal phase and therefore on the much more significant greenhouse effect that these produce and particularly therefore during this phase where the Earth sheds its energy towards the starry sky and the depths of the Universe at 3 Kelvin.
Especially since, since the 1870s, the Earth's magnetic field has particularly weakened. Especially since the flow of cosmic rays coming from the Sun is particularly variable, following the fluctuations of its magnetic field and its overall activity.
This interaction is also responsible for the phenomenon of the aurora borealis, and we could see, particularly in this month of November 2023, the strong correlation between aurora borealis descending to very low latitudes (southern France) and regularly impressive and sometimes torrential rains (thus induced by increased cloud production due to the increased spallation phenomenon itself resulting from a drop in the Earth's magnetic field and an increased flux of cosmic rays).

That ship has sailed.
I’m 45 and been watching floods and listening to this kinda thing since I was 5 And I now take my kids on the same stretch of beach I played on as a kid it’s exactly the same so I don’t believe I’m sorry.
Sea level rise does not happen evenly around the world. Also the slope of your individual beach has a lot to do with how apparent the sea level rise is for you. Beaches on the West coast of the US are much less vulnerable than beaches on the East coast.
40 years ago we didn’t have autonomous floats, satellite data, advanced computer models, etc. so predictions were not as accurate as they are today. The reality is the Western Antarctic Ice Sheet is melting, it will contribute to sea level rise, and this will compound year after year as the planet gets warmer. Whether you believe in it or not does not change if it is real or not, and anecdotal evidence of a couple beach spots is not the same as scientific research and consensus.
Where I live, land has disappeared, gone. The level of water hasn't changed, but the land is gone
The total ice in Antarctica is actually increasing. Funny how the alarmists forget to mention this.
I never mentioned total Antarctic ice because the topic of this video is the Western Antarctic Ice Sheet and the yearly loss of ice from said glaciers in this region. The Eastern Antarctic is much more stable and is not a cause for concern in the same way the WAIS is.
"total ice in Antarctica is actually increasing" == liar
Keep voicing man dont let fools discourage you
Thank you, I'm never discouraged by people voicing their opinions (even though this is not a subjective topic). The reason I make videos is to try to educate people who disagree with the science and evidence, so I always expect to see a lot of comments denying climate change. I'm hoping it makes a difference to at least a few people out there!
What do you suppose the weight of the melt water will do once spread out onto the plates.
One principle of ice sheets melting is that the crust it used to sit on top of will expand once it has melted due to the lack of weight above it. This is known as isostatic rebound and it will potentially raise certain areas of land that are currently underwater. This would cause sea levels to rise since the land underwater would be expanding.
Meltwater into the ocean will not have much immediate impact on plate tectonics to my understanding, but a mass balance change for the earth will inevitably affect tectonics in the long term.
This channel never disappoints. Great video!
What about Greenland & the Arctic melting? Also, I saw the thwaites ice shelf had another Florida size iceberg break off. I hope I got that wrong
So the footage you see at the very end of the video (right before the outro) is of the iceberg breaking off the Thwaites that you mentioned. It is not the size of Florida though, the entire Thwaites glacier is roughly the size of Florida.
Greenland and the Arctic are also melting. The Arctic melting does not contribute to sea level rise though, as it is ice already in the ocean. Greenland glaciers melting will contribute though, not only to sea level rise, but altering ocean circulation in the North Atlantic.
Could you make something about this paper, it seems, that we have triggered with global warming a very fatal process: “Atmospheric methane: Comparison between methane's record in 2006‐2022 and during glacial terminations”
I have heard about this paper but haven’t read it yet, I will look into it!

Scientists have calculated that if the glaciers melt it will change the salt levels in the oceans, particularly near the poles. This would cause massive near extinction of all salt water species living in those oceans.
It depends on how quickly the ice melt occurs; the Antarctic Circumpolar Current redistributes freshwater runoff very effectively in ocean waters, meaning that there won’t be large patches of water devoid of salt. A much larger concern to Antarctic species is the shift from a krill dominated community to a salp dominated one. Salps are chain-forming tunicates that do better in warmer water and outcompete krill for food. The salps have a lower nutrient density than krill, meaning they aren’t as capable of supporting complex life above them in the food chain. This affects penguins, seals, whales, fish, etc and is happening as we speak.
When the houses at Malibu get hit I’ll start paying attention
California beaches are not as susceptible to sea level rise as the beaches in Florida or Louisiana. This has to do with how gradual the slope of the land is into the ocean there. California has a relatively steep slope, meaning an inch or two of sea level rise does not inundate much lane. Florida and Louisiana have much more gradual slopes, making an inch of sea level rise much more impactful, displacing more people compared to California.
Needless to say, eventually if things continue the way they have been, Malibu will be affected too, just like any other coastal city.
What a person/governments have done/can do would have been interesting.
Nothing matters in the big picture. These micro hand wringings also don't matter in the big picture. All are bound for oblivion and will be forgotten.
Worrywart. Adaptation is the solution to pursue. Tipping point you speak of is years away. Its cold on Antarctica.
Very informative video thank you!
how many hundreds of years? and how many additional hundreds of years would it take for all that ice to fully melt? Just curious
This completely depends on the path humanity and society take in the next few decades. If we manage to actually reach carbon neutrality by 2050, it will probably take many more centuries to melt than if we are carbon neutral by 2100. Also, our models are only as good as the amount of data that we have acquired, making it hard to put an exact time stamp on how many years it could take. If I had to put an estimate on it, I believe one of the papers I referenced said something around 400-500 years. If you want more detailed answers, check out the sources in the description!
@@PlanetZeroVideos Thanks
@@PlanetZeroVideos Mother nature won't care if we get to carbon neutrality. We focus on only the smallest makeup of the atmosphere to predict all of this. Please tell me what is Earth's "normal" temperature, we know human's normal temp. No one ranting about 500 parts per million has ever been able to answer that question. There are much worse things we are putting into the environment than carbon dioxide, just ask a plant.
@@Llew70 Mother Nature is unfeeling; we are doing this for our descendants and their descendants. Any decent climate scientist takes into account CO2, CH4, NOx, and water vapor when predicting global temperatures since any that wouldn’t would not get past the first stage of peer review. Earth does not have a “normal” temperature, but the temperature it has currently is far beyond what it would have been if we had not been burning fossil fuels. Humanity has already destroyed entire ecosystems, driven species to extinction, and now is on a course to make large portions of the planet inhospitable to humans. What will be left of the natural beauty and wonder of this world in 100, 200, or even 1,000 years if we continue to live the way we have been living? Try asking that same plant how it feels about the extra CO2 when the land it used to live on turns into a desert.
@Llew70 it's either 14 or 17C average earth temp to have our current climate.. but we just recorded 2C over that this last month so.. yeah
Nice video. Not sure it makes any difference at all to the climate deniers but, I appreciate your efforts!
If this video changed just one person’s outlook on the state of the tipping point, I’m happy :)
@@PlanetZeroVideos glad you’re happy :-)
You’re a good communicator, and your science is sound, however, optimistic.
Today’s data tells us we’re already at about 1.5° C above the start of the industrial revolution.
Here in the US one thing we can do is make sure our former president is never reelected to anything. I still remember his proclamation in June 2017 to take us out of the Paris agreement. Never again!!
@@solarwind907 One has to be an optimist when discussing climate change since people disengage with doom and gloom. Trump is certainly worse for the environment and carbon neutrality, but let’s not pretend Biden is what we need either. The status quo cannot continue and yet that is how most Western governments are structured.
@@PlanetZeroVideos in James Hanson’s 2008 book “storms of my grand children” he tells us that nothing will change until we get the big money out of politics. Biden is fighting like hell for the environment and mankind. However, Congress writes the laws, and in many cases the oil lobbiests own the Congress.
If Greta Thunberg was a 35-year-old American and was running for president, she would only succeed in getting Trump reelected because she’d pull vote from Biden.
And if by some miracle she were to get elected (that’s a cool thought) I doubt she’d be able to get much more than Biden is already doing.
The fact that he got the IRA passed through Congress with bipartisan support, that included billions for renewable energy is kind of a miracle. Anyway, if you research, renewable energy, funding/tax credits/bills in congress you’ll see He’s not doing nothing.
In my opinion, we should be installing massive amounts of offshore wind, as well as Solar all over this country ASAP!

@@PlanetZeroVideos I'll give you my answer when I'm sober..HIC**
Ooops ,,, there goes the cork in the bottle. Nevermind let's turn Gaza into a 5 star resort...
We still haven't taken action. Now what?
How have we not taken action? Solar is the cheapest form of electricity, multiple nations have suspended future investments in fossil fuels due to climate focused policies, the transportation industry becomes more detached from fossil fuels every year, etc. There are hundreds of examples of small actions that have been taken.
Are these enough to limit global warming to a stable future yet? No. There hasn’t been nearly enough action taken to consider our current state a success, but that doesn’t mean things haven’t happened. What we need now is to accelerate change by pressuring governments and companies to go carbon neutral. Once we get everyone on the same page about climate change and wipe this fossil fuel propaganda from our heads, we may actually achieve what we would call “action”.
More rain more flooding just hope the temp goes up not down. Because if not Scotland will be under a mile of ice. The question is lots of very rich people own islands in hot places why. Will it get hotter or colder.
Greatest increase in temp will be at the poles with less significant warming as you approach the Equator. At least per climate theory.
@@starleyshelton2245 Climate theory is like how long to drink a pint after a hard days work. 15 seconds or 15 minutes. I ken which one is for me, but what about the second pint.
Pretty cool stuff! I'm a chick forest technician from Montreal, I left my career over disgust of how things work in Québec, idk why everyone just ignores the science and acts like nothing's wrong!
They ignore the science because they are too weak and cowardly to face such a ghastly truth. But they will be forced by reality to face it one way or another. Climate change is now abrupt and unraveling exponentially. By 2030 there won't be a single human standing on Earth.
Humans are really, really good at denial.
What is it today 1°C, 1.5 °C or 2°C ? Based on statements from climate scientists in general the globe warms up, cools, warms, cools, warms, cools... What will it be? Also their baseline moves faster than glaciers themselves. It used to be 1750, then it was 1880, then it was 1990,...
Today it is roughly 1.1C above pre industrial levels. The globe does warm up and cool on the scales of tens of thousands of years. Think of how long it took the planet to warm up after the last Ice Age. Now compare that to the warming we have seen over the last two hundred years. Two orders of magnitude difference between them. So it’s very safe to say that the warming we are seeing is not a natural, geologic phenomenon as it would not be occurring this rapidly. The baseline changes depending on the comparison being made; sometimes trends are better observed across different temporal scales. Mind you, this does not change the raw data values, but merely shifts them around on the y-axis.
@@PlanetZeroVideos Thanks for the intel. Doing away with baselines and anomalies: around 1750 the average temp was 13,42°C, what's it now? (info ArcticNews.com)
@@JZsBFF According to NOAA, the average temperature in 2022 was 0.86 C above the 20th century average of 13.9 C, placing it at 14.76 C. This is about 1.34 C warmer than 1750, which is a great representation of the Earth’s temperature change before and after the Industrial Revolution.
@@PlanetZeroVideos Thanks for the numbers. In all fairness I think that the numbers game is no more than window dressing and that the point of no return has already been crossed way back (probably) in the 50s.

Changes takes place,as it always did,the planet adapts,some species be it humans or animals,either some become extinct ,etc.
Humans must just adapt,changes for the good of planet Earth.
Planet Earth do not exist because of us humans,we exist ,and are because of this powerful planet.
Changes have always taken place over hundreds of thousands of years. As a byproduct of industry, we have increased Earths CO2 in the atmosphere by 50%. CO2 is a known greenhouse gas that traps heat in our atmosphere. We have been seeing an increase in temperature accelerated over the last 70 years, corresponding to when we started pumping much more CO2 into the air. This is not natural change, this is forced, unintentional planetary change brought on by the waste of our civilization.
The planet is powerful but so are 8 billion humans armed with modern technology.
We’re pumping c02 into the atmosphere ten times faster then the petm extinction event, there’s no adapting to a dead planet
humans can invent fridges, freezers, why can't they invent one big freeze machines.
Fridges and freezers are heat pumps. This is where hot air is vented in one direction and cold air in another. We trap the cold air in an insulated unit, but the heat escapes through the other side. In the case of the Earth, this would just freeze the ice the machine is on and pump heat to some ice downstream. The net change of temperature would actually be positive due to heat transfer inefficiency and electricity emissions, so probably not the best idea.
let it melt who gives a care, all this gloom and doom whatever, it's a great opportunity to reorder the world order hopefully better than now

Anthony you a smart man you know nothing will ever happen in your life time you are going places
No one said it will change fast enough for you to see. It's not going to suddenly end in a few decades. We're trying to avoid things happening to our kid's kids, and their kids, like regularly occuring massive droughts and famine, wiping out a majority of species, natural disasters happening where they haven't happened since homo sapiens have been walkin around.... It's a deception tactic to make you think nothing is happening. If you look at actual journals and studies on ancient ice cores, the record of plant and animal loss AND changes in migration/invasion , land development, deforestation, global air temperatures, spread of disease, ocean currents and hurricanes, record water temps, unprecedented coral bleaching, air quality, wildfires, you can see it all interacts with eachother in a very complex way, and it's ALL negatively impacted in a way that WE DONT HAVE TO! Why would we keep being shitty when we don't have to?!
The problem we are starting to realize (most of us at least, eventually 100% of society will realize it) is how sneaky it is. The thin sheet of air around our planet is large, large enough to slow change to a slow enough pace that one generation of humans will not notice it. But the change is enough that it takes longer to correct it than it did to start it. It's a Cascading, snowball effect. Every species plays a role in creating this sheet of air that keeps us all alive, so when you take away the producers, you take away your own life support.

The ocean size needs to expand so that the vapour can cause raining. The planet earth needs rain so that the nature can grow. Deforestation and urbanisation don't help to retain the rain in the ground. What about the Pole Shift? Very few scientists talk about. The earth must change geography as it has done from the day immemorial. Unless we all go to live off the grid, it's already irretrievable. No climate activists I know wants to give up convenience and comfort. Absurd. Talk only no practice.
I'm not exactly sure what you mean by the first half of this comment, but I can assure you that many, many climate activists give up convenience and comfort to lower their personal carbon emissions. The amount of people I have met who have given up private transportation, eating meat, buying single-use plastic, and flying recreationally is larger than I would have expected. I don't know what kind of climate activists you have met, but be careful making broad, sweeping statements about everyone in the community.
That being said, personal changes can only do so much. The issue will not be solved without governments putting a price on carbon pollution (carbon tax) and funding incentives for sustainable decarbonization.
The glaciers we are studying today are tiny insignificant specks in comparison to those that carved up this planet 12 thousand years ago to 5000 years BC. We are in a warm trend, which is usually a fairly short period following each ice age, so enjoy the warm weather while you can because I believe it is going to end sooner than later and possibly within a decade or two. We are due for another glacial ice age.

Probably not. The great glaciers of the Eemian started to melt about 16,000 yrs ago. Given most interglacials last 20,000 to 25,000 years we have a long way to go before the Milankovitch Cycles drive another ice age. In fact, orbital change parameters provide a weak forcing over 1000s of years. So it is unlikely in my opinion that the Earth will return to a glacial state until well after our civilization ends and we go extinct eor at least become functionally extinct with only small relic populations. A PNAS article published in 2018 provides a persuasive argument that the earth is close to tipping into a new climate state. Once this occurs it is unlikely to recover. The emissions of ~ 2.45 trillion tons of CO2, vast landscape changes, and deforestation has had profound effects on our planet.

If it nelts sea level will drop less than .001 inches!
You’re saying sea level will drop if it melts? What happens when you have a full glass and you drop an ice cube into it? It overflows. Adding mass to a body of water, which was not in the original body to begin with, will raise the water level.
@PlanetZeroVideos yes grade 3 science. Ice displaces 1/3 more water, then it contains and it is floating ice..and spread that over the area of the world oceans it is too little to measure!
This is so idiotic!!😂😂 if you fill a glass full of ice, then fill it with water. Let it all melt. The glass will not overflow….
The ice is not floating in the ocean. The ice is sitting on top of land that is above sea level. This is not a part of the volume of water that makes up the ocean until it melts. Take a full glass of water and start melting extra ice cubes into it and it will overflow.
@@PlanetZeroVideos How could the ice possibly be above the water? Was this area devoid of gravity to allow the water to climb toward the sky and then freeze?
@@andretorben9995 There is continental crust under the Antarctic Ice Sheet. Antarctica is not a giant ice cube at the South Pole like how the Arctic is at the North Pole. The ice in Antarctica sits on top of land that raises it above sea level. Arctic ice melt will not raise global sea levels, Antarctic will.
@@andretorben9995 @calvinfarrow1720 I hope this answers your questions.
65 cm not an entire oh ah that's only 6 inches over 150 years. Talk about climate Alarmist. Note to great grandchildren, take one...maybe 2 steps back from the beach to avoid wet shoes.😂
Check your conversion, 65 cm is over two feet. For a city like New Orleans that has a large portion of its land below sea level, or an island nation like Kiribati that has an average height above sea level of only 6 feet, where will they take steps back to? Just because your great grandkids live somewhere where sea level doesn’t matter doesn’t mean the rest of the world is the same.
Very privileged comment.
Matt, your ignorance is showing.
I'm glad I looked at replies😂, ya I don't know how I converted 65cm. 10 minutes later...I'm thinking I did cm>mm=10 into 65 is the inches, it doesn't make sense.🤣🤣 but c'mon 2 feet 150 years. Meh.
@@matthewmartin1789 I don’t think you fully appreciate how two feet of sea level rise threatens the existence of many coastal cities. Two feet of sea level rise will make Venice, New Orleans, and Kiribati completely unlivable unless billions are spent on dykes to keep the ocean out. Even then, this would be a never ending battle against rising sea levels for as long as the planet is warming. Two feet of sea level rise will displace millions from the land they called home, leading to climate refugees around the world moving inland. It’s hard to wrap your head around it at first since it does seem like an innocent amount of sea level rise, but to cities that are already dealing with seasonal flooding that worsens every year, it will mean the end of their history there.
@@matthewmartin1789 It is not just water level rise, temperature rise will change seasonal rain and snowfall in many parts of the world, hurricanes will be stronger and more frequent, droughts will last longer, there will be climate emigration because areas become un-liveable, plus the timescale can always decrease, there are various reports that the thwaites is melting 10 times faster than 10 years ago and the glacier is being undercut by warm(relatively) water causing much faster melting below the surface, but as I've said before I don't expect anyone to do anything much to change things so we can just sit back, sip a cold one and see which scientist is right.
Nothing will happen.
Absolutely nothing. The glacier is over water and will have zero affect in sea levels..
Please watch the video to understand the real situation. The ice shelf of the Thwaites Glacier is over water, but a majority of the glaciers mass is over land that is above sea level. The Thwaites acts as a buttress for the rest of this ice sheet, which will slip into the ocean slowly and raise sea levels if the Thwaites ice shelf is no longer stable.
REALLY. youre going to say we are only at 1C? After every single news channel just announced we hit 2C? Why would you do that? It ruins your credibility really fast
The fact that the Earth has warmed ~1C compared to the 1901-2000 average baseline comes straight from NOAA. Perhaps you are confusing this 2C with ~2F of warming we have seen using the same measurements. We are a long ways away from 2C of warming; if I were to say we hit 2C already, I would be spreading misinformation.
why do you lie?
Where did I lie? Could you elaborate?
Didn't Al Gore say all polor ice would be melted by now,and he won a noble peace prize for it,smh
Al Gore famously misrepresented data from one climate model that did not even state that arctic sea ice was guaranteed to melt by any date. This also had nothing to do with Antarctic ice sheets as the model was only concerned with the North Pole.
Cool maybe you'll get a piece prize too!
