    I was listening to a documentary on some other channel
    Then I said to myself "I know this style!!!"
    And here it is :-)
    Excellent doc. Thank you's for the excellent work on the doc and the research.

      Yes it is a shame. I wonder if you apply the same shame to yourself when you spend quality time watching you "favorite" UA-cam videos which include:
      10 Amazing Facts About Spongebob Squarepants (this must be riveting!)
      Top 10 Greatest Rock Bands (Hey, at least it's not Vevo, right Mr I'm Better Than Everybody?)
      Multiple Metal Gear Solid videos (I thought video game channels aren't important to you?)
      Top 10 Internet Memes (Ahhh, now here is a cerebral video if I've ever seen one!)
      You shouldn't judge people based on the videos they watch, lest you be judged yourself. It has absolutely no bearing on their intellect. Comments, on the other hand...

      Well, how is a person or the world improved, by watching documentaries, instead of playing a game? Why should anyone watch documentaries, if they prefer games?
      Personally I prefer documentaries, but does that make me any better than a gamer?

    At 2:07 "50 kilometres in diameter" and then shows the rock spinning for 10 seconds heating in Earth's atmosphere by friction. Come on people, blast the cobwebs out of your brains. At 50 km diameter the rock strikes Earth when the top of it is 50 km up precisely at the top of the stratosphere where the mesosphere starts. The top of the rock is practically still in space when the bottom of it hits Earth. If you saw it from a commercial jet at cruising altitude you'd see it hit Earth far far below (below the clouds) and look up to see it extends up 5x as high as your jet. This pulverizes and vaporizes billions of tonnes of solid rock. Can you imagine how it just punches the atmosphere out of the way in a fraction of 1 second as though air was identical to the vacuum of space, which it is to this rock. The Chelyabinsk asteroid was just 18 m in diameter. He's saying this rock is 50,000 metres in diameter. Meteor speed is 11-72 km / second so if this one was 40 km / second and 50 kilometres in diameter then it's closest point reaches the top of the stratosphere where the air density is 1,290th of the air density you are breathing at the surface. It's essentially still in space, then all of 1.3 seconds later it smashes into the ground and it punches out air for the entire troposphere for the 50 km diameter like it didn't even exist, sending a pressure wave around Earth's atmosphere. You see a rock in space above and 1.3 seconds later it's all over. Check how long 1.3 seconds is on your cell phone stop watch. This ain't no pissy little baseball spinning for 10 seconds heating in Earth's atmosphere by friction.like in the video Otherwise, good interesting video nicely crafted. Omitted the big, long, interesting atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) event before humans started the even funner one. Starting 82,000,000 years ago the plate with India on it barrelled north east from Antarctica to Asia at a blistering 8" year churning up the sea bed and releasing CO2 for the 30,000,000 years until India smashed into Asia. By then it had raised atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) to a huge 1,000-1,800 ppmv which transformed Earth's climate into a "hot house" with 12 degrees higher Global Mean Surface Temperature (GMST) than now, at 52,000,000 years ago, then India was slowly shoving up the Himalayan mountains & Tibetan Plateau for millions of years (it still is) and the added rock weathering helped to take out atmospheric CO2 for 47,000,000 years until it had dropped all the way from 1,000-1,800 ppmv to 280 ppmv when it was cold enough for orbital & tilt cycles to trigger the glaciation period "Ice Ages" there's been for the last 5,000,000 years. Fun stuff.

      I found it informing on some level's, also noticed how it never mentions the possibility if Human's could be speeding up this process. An I have to say I don't have a clue about the numbers an Co2 levels and such, but if this guy really knows his facts and nobody here can state otherwise. I'm gonna take it as mostly factual with an emphasis on natural climate change happening faster everyday now, because it's supposed too...

      Any generation's misfortune means powerful opportunities for many other people. Wealth, prosperity constantly shift, as do minor wind/ocean currents. Supply and demand, survival of the fittest (physical as well as mental). Opportunities... Opportunities :>)
      There is not one doomsday scenario portrayed today, that is not human contrived in order to shift wealth. Trick is to follow the trends and invest in the upward, divest before the fall. The natural occurrences of catastrophic proportions (Siberian Traps) are the unpredictable wild card. Reason investors are gamblers. 'Know when to hold 'em, know when to fold'. Sometimes losers... sometimes gainers.
      Big Dinosaurs became losers (some smaller varieties became chickens... we eat 'em:>). The big boys, the star players could not accept/adapt to change. Their DNA got too comfy ...

    We need to start moving our costal cities inland if the ice continues to melt and the sea levels continue to rise, there’s really no other way around it. We need to be proactive about it instead of reactive because if we don’t get out ahead of this trend then by waiting too long we’ll be wasting our time trying to save something that can’t be saved. We can’t ever abandon living on the costal areas of land but serious measures will have to be taken to properly monitor the changes that areas like Antarctica and the Arctic are experiencing in order to continue living on the cost, cities will have to be reconstructed with rising sea levels in mind.

    I think you're confusing GRACE: Gravity Recovery And Climate Experiment-a mission that orbits Earth and is expected to deorbit sometime in 2015 or 2016-with GRAIL: Gravity Recovery And Interior Laboratory-a similar mission to the Moon that ran from March to December 2012. Same sort experiment, very different locations, slightly different acronyms.
    I'm a little surprised the writer and the voice performer didn't notice the discrepancy between the acronym and the expansion when reading it aloud.

    • @ttmallard
      @ttmallard 8 років тому +1

      +Hudspethtb Well for ice we're at 3-ppm/year hundreds of times faster than nature so puts us at 800-ppm within 130-years where all Antarctica's ice will melt off, it really starts going at 600-ppm and the bonus is killing any meaningful coral reefs globally as we fly by 750-ppm.
      Nature takes a lot longer to change CO2, long-term Pleistocene average is 1-ppm/1000-years, big jump at the end of the ice-age 1-ppm/180-years for metrics.
      So the message is we're committing to add over 70m/230ft of sea-level with business as usual doesn't matter how long it takes apparently.
      Right now at 410-ppm we've committed to 25m/82ft of sea-level, it's only how fast and nothing is being done to slow it down, eh?.

    With Radiometric Dating, when the dates match the theory, they are shown in textbooks, published in papers, shown religiously in museums, and aired on t.v. When the dates kinda match, they are put in the footnotes. When the dates don't match at all, they're simply thrown out. Radiometric Dating rests on unproven assumptions and a sample can be tested hundreds of thousands of times and out of all those times, only 3 dates will match the evolution religion, yet that is enough to "prove macro-evolutionism through radiometric dating."

    I think climate change is pretty much inevitable, because people drag their feet about things until they're forced to change. For example, I'm a big fan of water conservation, but I still love my hot showers. The only things that could prevent it would probably be green tech becoming as economical, and as profitable, as fossil fuels. Ultimately it'll probably be a good thing because it'd make us become efficient enough to actually be self-sustaining. Plus, it'd be cool to have enough land exposed in Antarctica to colonize it. :)

    just one thing i noticed you didn't include in this, and that is ice displaces sea water once it melts it isn't the same volume that ice displaces, and the fact the new snow and ice falling and forming at the heads of the glaciers, come back out of the weather cycle, i haven't seen any scientific calculation which include these factors, just ones from climate alarmists stating the whole of the ice melting being the whole of sea level rise.
    maybe if they where more honest and forthcoming with their hypothesis and calculations in detail they'd be ore believable.

    I often wonder why the creators of most, if not all documentaries, insist on some inaccurate information as well as omitting some critical to more truthful reporting.
    1/. The Earth was much smaller & with much less water when the first plants, insects & animals appeared. Initial growth in diameter & water was primarily from meteorites, small comets & asteroids, although large asteroids such as the one in Central Australia known as Uluru (Ayres Rock), which has at least 2/3 below the ground, have made larger contributions.
    2/. The tectonic & volcanic plates are the result of a major collision in the Pacific Ocean region, which also caused the Earth to be tilted.
    Each time the planets dominate the same side of the Sun, such as currently, the slippage of the Tectonic Plates slows while the Volcanic activity greatly increases. This includes the Antarctic Region which has at least one Super Volcano heating the ice above it.
    Also the Pacific Ocean volcanic rift has increased its rate of expansion. It is where the newest & most abundant land mass is being formed, albeit deep below where no man has gone before.
    3/. Fossil Fuels emit very little CO2, required by plants along with water & sunlight. They do emit CO, poisonous to all life.
    In reality, the biggest danger to the planet from Greenhouse Gasses are Humans, who continue to clear rainforests & wetlands for industrial, residential & commercial development, obviously expecting farms & rainforests to proliferate in the deserts of the world.
    4/. A partial solution to the problems Humans have created is for us to excavate suitable areas of the deserts in order to live, & to some extent work, underground where the temperature would be stable. Above ground could be used for heavy industrial as well as solar power stations. Wind turbines could be used to pump water from dams as well as air in to the underground cities while other wind turbines pump the waste air, water & sewage above, the latter 2 along with solid food waste sent to designated areas in the hope some of the desert may become an oasis. Once such works are completed then would be the task of returning parts of the urban centres back to the rainforests they once were, while other parts used to grow the food we will need to survive.

      "The Earth was much smaller" - BEFORE 4.55 BILLION YEARS AGO, when it was still accreting solar system material.
      It then LOST and GAINED material when it collided with another planetoid to form the MOON during the period known as the HEAVY BOMBARDMENT, which finished around 3.8 BILLION YEARS ago, a date coincident with the beginning of life on earth. It was then the size it is now.
      This life remained unicellular, bacterial, for THREE BILLION years, before becoming sexual and diversifying into plants, animals, and three other genera.

      1/ Correct, the Earth was smaller (200 million years ago), probably the size of Mars now, but the expansion was/is caused by Earth's plasma core inflating.
      Gravity is a phenomena of electromagnetism, not mass (Electric Universe Theory). The Earth's surface gravity then would have needed to be around half its current value to have allowed the very large dinosaurs to have existed.
      3/ Oil and gas are not "fossil fuels", they are abiotic, created geothermally from rocks containing hydrogen and carbon. The are no "greenhouse" gases, a gas cannot trap heat, heat flow can not be one way like glass in a real greenhouse.
      4/ The Sun's irradiance has reduced (Grand Solar Minimum), and the Antarctic's ice has increased to record levels. The danger now is the little ice age that's starting.

    Thank you so much for pronouncing both Cs in Antarctica.
    When I hear people skip the first C, it makes me want to slap them very very hard.
    There is a rendering mistake in the world view shown at 8:53. At this time, New Zealand did not yet exist, but its forebear, the continent "Zealandia" was extremely prominent, and was between 8 and 12 times the current size of New Zealand. All that's shown is the sunken remnants of two mountain chains.
    New Zealand ALWAYS gets shafted by film producers; either left out entirely, or shown incorrectly over time. *sigh*

  • @davids1inwestholl45
    @davids1inwestholl45 2 роки тому

    SO SAD TO SAY, BUT WE'VE REALLY SCREWED THE POOCH, as far as saving the ice of Antarctica. By helping whatever natural, dynamic temperature inversion that was occurring under the ice sheets 100's of feet of packed ice over the ocean that extended far off land, it's past the point of no return. And runaway melting has begun. The 'cork' holding back the vast inland ice fields behind a span between two mountain ridges, the 90% of fresh water held back in fields 2 - 3 miles thick will accelerate moving & melting. As the ice melts, we lose the albedo effect by exposing dark green dark blue ocean water to the sun's rays, its heat is absorbed, warming the water, resulting in melting more ice. The same for ice melting over land. It absorbs the sun's rays instead of reflecting back out to space (the albedo effect) and it starts a self-reinforcing loop, melting ice faster, making water warmer, making water expand as it warms, causing loss of our coastal lands. It also increases moisture available to make storms stormier. Hurricanes will be warmer, larger & more destructive...just as they strike land. Thunderstorms will be more severe. Monsoon seasons are worsening each year due to more & more atmospheric moisture absorption. Glacier will soon be gone. In my lifetime, Glacier National Park in the US had 100's of glaciers. Soon, there won't be much of anything left. 30 - 40 yrs ago, I used to sled down glaciers in the Sierra Nevada mountains, home to Mt Whitney, the highest mountain in the lower 48 states in the US. It used to have snow up there all year round. Mammoth Mountain, in CA. used to have skiing till 4th of July...in T shirts & jeans. Chicks in bikinis. Now, it's maybe 2 months of OK skiing, then it's man-made trails of snow on brown hills once you are off the snow path. I remember 20 yrs ago, the Mammoth Village had 25 feet of snow at 9,000" & they had to dig DOWN to people's roofs. Driving the main road was just the street with a 25 ft wall straight up the right side of the road & 25 ft wall on the left side of the road. A vertical wall of snow made a street canyon with right angles!
    It's not all gonna go in 10, 20, 50 years. Maybe not for 100, but surely by 200 yrs. It's already leaving. The SW US is in a 20 yr MEGA drought, but there's been a record-breaking 2,000 yr drought ebbing & flowing. But it is going, going, soon to be gone. And it'll be gone until Mother Earth decides to change it. Because...Ooooh, we've recked it. And we will never be able to fix it. Whoever is left will be fucked b/c we wrecked it today. And it's shame on us. I'm so glad I decided to not have any kids. And I feel bad for my brothers & sisters, and their kids, my nieces & nephews.
