What is technically easier, building a strip mine under 5 km of ice, that moves 10+ meters per year and crushes all your buildings/wells/structures, or, designing some remote control submersible devices to go suck up valuable minerals from the sea floor, under 3.7 km of liquid water (the approximate average depth of the oceans)? Both Antarctica and the world's ocean floor are hugely underutilized resource bases, effectively unexploited and unmined (except for crude oil and natural gas, which is comparatively easy to explore for and extract compared to other minerals, at least from the sea floor). The ocean floors represent a much larger percentage of the total Earth's crust area, compared to Antarctica, and it is reasonable to assume/expect that more total extractable minerals exist on/in the sea floor, compared to Antarctica. Realistically, the sea floors alone contains nearly all the minerals needed to meet all of humanity's likely future needs for the indefinitely foreseeable future, especially when combined with high reliability/long life product designs and robust recycling of minerals at the end of life of products. In my opinion, the sea floors are the easier choice for mineral extraction. Mineral extraction from the moon, asteroids, and Antarctica are all still potentially interesting ideas, but sea floor mining on the Earth is a more practical source of immense quantities of interesting minerals, at least for the nearer future. Helium is however a bit of an exception, since it is light enough that it easily escapes from the Earth and is thus not available in large quantities on the Earth. One day, mining helium gas from the atmosphere of Uranus will make sense. For nearly all other minerals however, the Earth is still a good resource base that is readily accessible and still mostly unexploited (given that 71% of the Earth's surface is ocean, and other than crude oil, natural gas, and certain "oversized alien sea bugs" [like crabs], the sea floor is currently not being mined or otherwise exploited much at all).
You dont know all the countries work together to enslave everyone? You really believe that all these countries that cant agree on anything agree that we cant fk up antarctica....where no one lives....but its cool if we just destroy the environment where we live? Put the fluoride water down.
It really is NOT. It's SUPER DEAD. There is NOTHING there. You could do open heart surgery on a mountainside, because not even bacteria live in that wasteland. This is a great example of the smooth brained thinking that pervades the world now. We have people thinking that ICE and ROCK need to be protected.
Finally, global warming DLC Edit: If I had a nickel for every comment I made that devolved into a giant argument over global warming, I'd have three nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened thrice. But for real, if you're going to make a point about global warming, at least consider why and how. Insulting people, misrepresenting their points, not providing any logic for your reasoning, acting like you're smarter; these are the traits of a weak person. If you are really interested in changing someone's mind, teach them with patience and humility. And if you aren't trying to change someone's mind, then what's the point of Insulting someone? Are you so insecure in your beliefs that every person who doesn’t agree makes you upset? That is genuinely a you problem. Stop letting yourself say stupid things. Or you can be like me and enjoy the comments as they drift on by. Both are equally valid.
We're already playing the DLC right now. This is the sequel's expansion pack, given as a pre-order bonus. You can even play as a disgruntled driver running over environmentalists in the streets of Europe and North America.

I mean $50 trillion wasn't found. Money is worthless. Resources were found is the truth. Byrd told us this over 70 years ago. Why's it taken 70 years to attempt to pillage it? Because nations are in debt to the Rothchild owned money system which was setup just for that reason. Everything borrowed for the government must be paid back with interest. Interest is impossible to accumulate because there isn't enough 'money' printed to cover the debt. That's the fractional reserve banking system for you. Set up to fail and they knew it. That's why these richest families in the world have control because they control the money. What respectful nation would accept a money system from private entities in the first place? The ones who are working hand in hand with them. Come on people wake the f**k up it's 2024 and you have a super computer in your pocket. There really is no excuse to be dumb in this day and age.
As a camp cook, I can attest to the difficulty of feeding a working crew in remote locations. A few dozen scientists can tough out the winter on green tea and freeze dried veggies (meat is easily preserved frozen). Hard working miners can get pretty irritable if they haven't seen fresh fruit or veggies in a week. You might think that steak and potatoes would keep them happy, but not so. Even the guys that don't eat veggies most the time start to get edgy when we haven't gotten any fresh produce delivered for a couple of weeks.
Why not use vitamin and mineral pills wtf, i am living for years without veggies and everythings super fine. Plant protein can also be stored good for energy and chololate is gud for the rest of the energy. Apart from that noodles which are also gud for months. Theres no way if i can survive that with super energy for years the workers can't .
We got plenty of our own fuelright under our feet. Enough energy to cleanly fuel our needs for centuries but you socalled environmentalist have shut it down. Somehow coming to the conclusion that buying it and having it shipped here at market prices is better for the environment...insane!!!!!
deeply inland in terrible weather and a growing icesheet. Throw in a competency crisis and every country part of it wanting to ruin each other, no matter how petty the action. I doubt there will be anyone getting a hold of it soon
In the past, it was almost impossible to extract oil from the sea, but now the largest gasoline deposits come from the sea. It will definitely come out in a few years.
Timestamp is 8:40. Twice as much oil as Saudi Arabi, 14 times as much as the US. Sponsorblock adds a red marker on the video timeline, skips all the filler parts and answers the title instantly.
It should be noted that Antarctica would also be really hard to mine. It's incredibly expensive to live, build or do literally anything there. + there's times when it becomes literally uninhabitable.
From what I know, there are regions of Canada like this - technically full of resources, but it’s currently a pain to work the very most northern areas. Supposedly the same is true for the Sahara.
They say "its too cold & difficult to extract the Oil"... I've worked in Prudhoe Bay Alaska, on the Arctic Ocean. With windchill, it was -80 almost every day. Oil Extraction in this environment is difficult, but if you know how to do it, money flows...
Yep, I worked year round building pipelines in Northern Alberta, almost in the old NWT. My brother was the chief tireman at the Diamet Diamond mine a few miles from the Arctic Circle for 10 years. According to him it might as well been in Antarctica, it was so cold and remote. Seems if there is money to be made...someone will find a way, or WMDs. Either way it'll get done.

Burning that oil for energy would be an incredible waste. Do you know how vital petrochemicals are to the functioning of human society? You use them every day. Modern medicine is incredibly dependent on them. Every day that we burn coal or oil for energy instead of running on nuclear is depleting a far more valuable resource than people truly comprehend. Also, it kills more people every year than nuclear power has killed in its entire existence, so...
Do you think that nuclear reactors house an atomic bomb at the middle that we somehow extract energy from? It's a pretty straightforward operation. Safety standards are also insanely high. I can't imagine you think that the consistent output of toxic fumes from oil and coal is better for the environment than nuclear energy that has CO2 emissions basically from construction only, right?
@@LRM12o8 Literally any amount of research proves this idea incorrect. Chernobyl and Fukushima being the only two major events with catastrophic results. Chernobyl was run by the soviets so its no surprise it failed so catastrophically and Fukushima happened because of a tsunami. Nuclear power is not dangerous at all and incidents are extremely uncommon. Please go on about how you plan to doom society to fail when we inevitably run out of fossil fuels over 2 incidents that have happened in 50 years.
I find it regrettable that politicians are more concerned with exploiting the resources of Antarctica and instead of caring for the continent from the very probable consequences that this would imply. The day that the sea level rises due to the melting of the poles and climate change becomes very harsh, they are going to regret it like they can't imagine, but when they realize it, it will be too late.

Yeah, but he totally misrepresented what happened in Wellington. The whole point of the mining treaty that NZ took a leading role in creating was to effectively impose a permanent ban on mining by giving all stakeholders a veto. NZ or any other party could veto any mining proposal. Various idiots including Green Peace got hung up on the name. Instead we ended up with what is effectively a temporary ban that will be up for review in the 2040s, right when it was projected that it would become economically viable to exploit the oil.
dear ultrakill fans, please dont make ultrakill references the new jojo reference and give the ultrakill community a negative reputation. instead of saying "PREPARE THYSELF" and "THY END IS NOW" (phrases that other people have no context for and cannot understand) you can simply point out that the thumbnail looks like Minos Prime which is 10x more interesting. that will spark the curiosity of people who dont know ultrakill more than out-of-context referencing, don't you think?
This is some of the saddest news Antarctica has faced every since global warming/climate change started happening. I really hope we keep it untouched and unexploited.
This is the only comment I’ve seen on this video that even remotely acknowledges how badly Antarctica needs to stay untouched. I mean, this thing isn’t just keeping enough water to drown several whole countries frozen, it is literally cooling down the planet and reflecting the sun’s heat. I feel like if the politicians that will have to be making the important decisions here are anything like most of these comment section users, Humanity is just signing its planet’s own death sentence.
Australia has a massive uranium deposit and we've decided not to mine it as far as i'm aware. I think it was made illegal to do so and and a ban was imposed
@Dr.Kraig_Ren 1. One can never have too much oil. 2. Antarctic oil is basically the highest fruit on the tree, but we still cut biofuels with fossil fuels and oil is used to make plastics and lubricants, it is not going away.
Sad to think *_potentially_* in the next few decades oil prices will go up, countries will likely exploit for profitability; instead of alternatives. Eventually the rewards are worth the risk, sad...

Being stuck in the Mohave desert and you can die within hours. Being stuck in Antarctica and you can be crippled within seconds and die within minutes. The environment is so sterile and cold that your corpse will remain freshly preserved an rock solid for thousands of years.

Glad you touched on the difference between "reserves" and "deposits". The terms are constantly misunderstood, and it's annoying as hell watching big name media outlets completely mixing them up, even when the distinction is very important in context.
Why would we protect something that can be restored? You can't just unmelt all the ice on Earth, plus it's extremely important for fish dependent communities. That's the reason fishing so so heavily restricted there
Grow up. Oil is the way of life and will remain so for the next 200-350 years. Plus, Russia is far too interested in mining Oil within its borders in the Arctic Circle and the Siberian Interior. Mainland China is too interested in mining Rare Earth Elements within its borders and in Central Africa.

"$50 Trillion Was Just Found Under Antarctica"
Oh no...
They're gonna funnel it all to the WEF, Israel, Ukraine, AI, etc. I just know it.
I mean $50 trillion wasn't found.
Money is worthless.
Resources were found is the truth.
Byrd told us this over 70 years ago.
Why's it taken 70 years to attempt to pillage it?
Because nations are in debt to the Rothchild owned money system which was setup just for that reason.
Everything borrowed for the government must be paid back with interest.
Interest is impossible to accumulate because there isn't enough 'money' printed to cover the debt.
That's the fractional reserve banking system for you.
Set up to fail and they knew it.
That's why these richest families in the world have control because they control the money.
What respectful nation would accept a money system from private entities in the first place?

As a camp cook, I can attest to the difficulty of feeding a working crew in remote locations. A few dozen scientists can tough out the winter on green tea and freeze dried veggies (meat is easily preserved frozen). Hard working miners can get pretty irritable if they haven't seen fresh fruit or veggies in a week. You might think that steak and potatoes would keep them happy, but not so. Even the guys that don't eat veggies most the time start to get edgy when we haven't gotten any fresh produce delivered for a couple of weeks.
Edging veggies is wild

Why not use vitamin and mineral pills wtf, i am living for years without veggies and everythings super fine.

Burning that oil for energy would be an incredible waste. Do you know how vital petrochemicals are to the functioning of human society? You use them every day. Modern medicine is incredibly dependent on them. Every day that we burn coal or oil for energy instead of running on nuclear is depleting a far more valuable resource than people truly comprehend. Also, it kills more people every year than nuclear power has killed in its entire existence, so...
Nuclear plants are ticking time bombs, given the poor track record at maintenance all those private, for-profit operators have, though!
Do you think that nuclear reactors house an atomic bomb at the middle that we somehow extract energy from? It's a pretty straightforward operation. Safety standards are also insanely high. I can't imagine you think that the consistent output of toxic fumes from oil and coal is better for the environment than nuclear energy that has CO2 emissions basically from construction only, right?

Yeah, but he totally misrepresented what happened in Wellington. The whole point of the mining treaty that NZ took a leading role in creating was to effectively impose a permanent ban on mining by giving all stakeholders a veto. NZ or any other party could veto any mining proposal. Various idiots including Green Peace got hung up on the name. Instead we ended up with what is effectively a temporary ban that will be up for review in the 2040s, right when it was projected that it would become economically viable to exploit the oil.
