This is a very well-done documentary. But I am a bit shocked at some of the replies and comments. One reply was "Greenland is not an Island". Did the world decide that Greenland is no longer an Island? Many of you commented about this reply, and all are in agreement except for the one person who thinks it is not an island. Another replied that "the water melts in the summer and refreezes in the winter". It makes me wonder if this person even watched the documentary. So many folks today are against providing more money for schools in America. Education is the most important asset that we have.
It is not just the problem with melting, there is also the rebound issue. As Greenland loses mass from the melting it also gets lighter and so the entire Island rises up and changes the pressure on the North American Tectonic plate.
@@Ryanscoolness "The next ice age will benefit all countries and regions in the world." There can't be another glaciation event with CO2 levels this high. Instead we are heading toward a mass extinction of life.
@@yedidyah-jedshlomoh1533 Uhh, be careful what you wish for. Making more nutrient-poor northern soils warm enough to farm while making more nutrient-rich southern areas too hot to farm is not a bargain, especially when the ripple effects of rapid warming include the ongoing breakdown of the web of life on land and in the ocean. The big picture is that man-made warming, our pollution, and our direct killing of species and destruction of ecosystems are steadily degrading and destroying the Earth's ability to support life, including human life. We heading toward collapse, and weaning ourselves off of fossil fuels is critical.
This was interesting to watch. I enjoyed it. The background music drums loud strings were very distracting. i had to turn on Closed Captioning to understand what the announcer was saying.

I've read that Greenland is losing 30 million tons of ice AN HOUR, but in this video they reference a 5 day period where it lost 1 billion tons every day. C3S estimates that 2/3rds of the 220,000 glaciers on the planet will have melted by 2,100. Recall that each pound absorbs 144 BTUs as it melts.
41 million tons an hour now, "One ton of ice melted in a 24 hour period is equal to 12,000 BTU per hour for 24 hours, the source for the common definition of a "Ton" of refrigeration." I've never heard the saying but that's a lot of heat being absorbed, can't imagine how quick the heat will go up when it all disappears. Edit the heat absorbed is a fraction of what we the total that we put in.
@@antonyjh1234 So, I get 12 X 10 to the 12th BTUs/day absorbed by Greenland's melting ice, that's 12 trillion BTUs. Polymath Eliot Jacobsen calculates that our current heat imbalance is the heat equivalent of 20 Hiroshima yield nuclear bomb blasts PER SECOND, or about 1,400,000/day, where each one releases 63 trillion BTUs. Little wonder so much global ice is melting. The canary in the coal mine?
That heat storage capacity appears to be tailing off looking at recent sea surface temperature. As for the implications for AMOC that's anyone's guess. Add an uncontrolled methane spike currently ongoing and the resource footprint of AI to the mix (power, cooling water) and it's clear we have a choice of singularity or death. A black swan is still a black swan even if we know it's in the middle of the road.
A 'Soylent Green' world is coming for future generations as population continues to increase while at the same time the amount of living space to support them continues to decrease due to sea level rise and desertification.
While at the same time nothing happens to prevent mass starvation. Global irrigation would be a solution. Why don't they talk about that? They could even suck the wet fog from clouds, cool it and let it rain down safely to prevent flash flooding. Free energies are classified, thanks to the oil industry. Search for HHO, Joe cell. Test it yourselves! On the meanwhile imploded "Georgia Guidestones" they said what they want: A global population of 500 million people. Guess what happens to the rest....
Can't we have a chart showing the rate of ice melting over the recorded history? The charts usually project the current trend in a best-fit straight line. However, every change in nature is exponential. If the projection of melting in this video IS linear, an exponential curve will bring the projected tipping point far earlier.
NOAA has a chart. It clearly shows that at the end of the ice age 20,000 years ago sea levels began to rise. Sea level rise accelerated 16,000 years ago. 10,000 years ago sea level rise began to slow. 4,000 years ago it flattened out. It remained flat for the next 4,000 years. Approximately 140 years ago a slight uptick occurred and remained linear to present day. According to NASA sea level is currently rising at 3.4mm per year, imperceptible without scientific instruments making adaptation very easy. Sea level likely slowed 4,000 years ago because the vast majority of the ice covering the entire northern hemisphere had already melted. In comparison with today, there is barely any ice left to melt. Other than adaptation, there is nothing humanity can do to prevent or even mitigate sea level rise. It's here to stay.
@@anthonymorris5084 A catastrophic change is preceded by a more or less linear quantitative change in nature. Take the example of water boiling. The water heats up to 100 degrees Celsius linearly. The nonlinearity starts here. The temperature remains constant, but the input heat goes into vaporization. Small bubbles start to form locally, those spread, the size of the bubbles get bigger and finally the water suddenly starts to boil. The change of state happens drastically, not linearly.
@@sumanghosh5135 Change, does not equate to catastrophe. Warming has proven to be beneficial. There is certainly no evidence that warming is catastrophic. There is no evidence that sea level rise of 3.4mm per year can be characterized as catastrophic. There is no evidence at all that any glacial melt over the last 20,000 years has been negative.
"Can't we have a chart showing the rate of ice melting over the recorded history?" Due to our emissions, the rate of sea level rise has quadrupled since the early 1900s and it is still accelerating.

I admit that I am on the Cataclysmic consequences side of the Global Warming debate. Ever since I first chanted "Save the Amazon" in the 70-80's I had followed the science closely enough to have coined my own frase "The five year rule" witch essentially is that whatever sciences worst prediction for how soon we could reach some milestone we always reached it five years sooner.(Note; the Amazon drought broke that pattern ,it was not predicted to be even posible until the 2030-2040's). Long story short ,I predicted 2023 twenty years before it happened. We are now in 2024 one year after the world reached its "Tipping Point", sadly that means that all the data that has brought me to that conclusion is already a historic description of what caused our climate to flip into a new reality. I will not "Time Line" a list of these consequences here not least because "Learnt Helplessness " along with vested interests' our the two fronts we need to fight against. I had reached learnt helplessness until 1] I heard of Climate Mitigation not just the necessary reduction in practically everything we do. 2]Who are we kidding this is all we have we must fight to preserve it all regardless of how bad it gets. Sadly Putin and all his enemies show how the world can swing into action if instead of listening to concerned "Vestid Interest pressure groups" they responded with equal intent.

The problem is volcanic activity is creating new islands inside of different regions which are putting mountains in these locations causing weather patterns to go into regions where they are not supposed to be similar to a location where the mountains are blocking rain from going into the desert and the solution to this issue would be making artificial mountains so we can control the weather ourselves and make it freeze on top of the mountains that we create, if we wanted to we could make this entire planet freeze if we were to make mountains. One problem that we face with making mountains is the only sensible way would be to make inflatable artificial mountains so when the weather got too hot or too cold we could rise and drop the mountain to achieve the conditions that we wanted because volcanic activity is constantly reoccurring which is causing this change in climate but in order for us to make inflatable mountains we would have to achieve world peace because anyone could easily destroy these inflatable mountains seeing that the only way that we could make them is if they were flexible so they could rise and fall , so the downfall is for us to solve this problem there must be World Peace otherwise we'll just destroy the things that we made and it's going to keep making the temperature go up
Huge wind farms are popping up both on- and offshore but only very few studies has been conducted to tell us what consequences those farms may have on socalled normal climatic conditions. Seems every nation has been given green card to do whatever it might in the name of sustainibility and climate changes, without doing even the smallest simulation on their own climatic patterns.
The argument about whether or not Greenland is an 'island' is stupid. The classification of 'island' is not based on physical criteria, it's humans trying to classify (ie, put square pegs into square holes and put round pegs into round holes; WARNING: do not degrade this explanation into male adolescent humor! Unless you wanna have fun!). There is no physical definition discriminating 'island' vs continent. It is not a physical characteristic. However, if you want to argue that Greenland is incontinent, I'm ready to engage! Cheers!
"That is what happens when we are at the end of an ice age. Nothing new." We ended the last glaciation period ~6,000 years ago and average global temps had been quite stable for the last 6,000 years and were supposed to be quite stable for the next 50,000 years. Our emissions are now warming the planet ~38 times faster than it usually warms when coming out of an ice age, they have quadrupled the rate of global ice melt and sea level rise and we are increasing global CO2 levels 10 times faster than they increased before the worst mass extinction in earth's history. We're destroying the web of life in four ways simultaneously, the climate crisis is only one of those four.

A catastrophic change is preceded by a more or less linear quantitative one in nature. Take the example of water boiling. The water heats up to 100 degrees Celsius linearly. The nonlinearity starts here. The temperature remains constant, but the input heat goes into vaporization. Small bubbles start to form locally, those spread, the size of the bubbles gets bigger and finally the water suddenly starts to boil. The change of state happens drastically, not linearly. The escalation of extreme weather occurrences and their intensifying severity is equivalent to increasing bubble diameters associated with the phase transition during water boiling. They also show that we have already reached that one hundred degrees Celsius temperature for some time. Put together they strongly suggest that the catastrophic collapse is on our doorstep. Crevices are forming and progressively expanding at the juncture with the bedrock as the Doomsday Glacier flexes with the tide. Nevertheless, it will fail abruptly, akin to fatigue failure, rather than progressively. Do weather models incorporate this crucial observation? Is the climate collapse still being predicted using a linear model?

The Younger Dryas period, the last major climate change was a sudden cold snap that occurred over the course of less than 100 years. The new extreme cold glacial period is estimated to have lasted around 1,300 years, before another major climate change also happened quite abruptly to change the climate back; making the most significant change within a relatively short timeframe until now.

I wonder what the doom sayers will pick on next once the greenland ice sheet has really all gone and sea level has not risen enough to cover florida.....
During epochs of warming these ice sheets that covered the world shrank and Eric The Red apparently established a viable community in Iceland that farmed sheep, planted barley and were thriving at the time. The world cooled off and these communities vanished or did the human thing and adapted to conditions or relocated. The world is in a state of change pertaining to its climatic conditions which influence life in its totality as well as geological features. This happens in a timespan incomprehensible to most people. I was in secondary school in the late sixties and early seventeens and the existential threat then was a threatening ice age which some how or other in period of 20 to 30 years turned into a existential threat of the world vaporizing due to heat from the sun (the only significant source we know of). That makes a mockery of the concept of geological and climatological timescales. We have data from space which I assume is reasonably accurate and consistent from the end of the 1960's. All previous data is far from accurate in its minute detail and rather hodge podge in its gathering. We seem to have the idea that the world should stay without change as that condition will fit our agenda. We are also not very good custodians of the habitat we occupy as we seem to think we are the top of "creation" and everything on this planet is to serve us in our now state of incredible over consumption of manufactured goods as this is measured as progress, wealth and power. That we should do good science in all fields is a no brainer but politics and the accumulation of wealth fame and power should not be the end goal. Scientific discoveries are very seldom cast in stone. It should always be open to new evidence, ideas and discussion. People are loosing faith in the scientific institutions especially those in bed with politics and big business. These last two have proven themselves again and again to be rather dubious in their agendas as they are not always truthful in the aims they sprout to the general public.
Yes during the Medieval Warm Period there were farming communities in Greenland as well. It was warmer then than it is now. Then it cooled off and they left. That’s the way it works on this planet, everything in nature goes in cycles.
I agree with much of what you say but the creation of wealth and our exploitation of our habitat is what keeps us safe. The modern world is an anomaly. The history of humanity is a story of starvation, suffering and impoverishment. Poverty solves nothing. Environmentalists have this myopic belief that the Earth is some kind of pristine place of harmony and purity that humans, like a parasite are wrecking. In fact the Earth is a hostile place that will kill you at any given opportunity. Humans have made it more livable with each passing decade. May I suggest you break up your post into paragraphs. More people will read it.
Sounds all well, but science has come a long way since the 1960's to understand what is happening, also on the timescales incomprehensible to most people, as you phrase it. And the dire facts are those: even though the planet and its climate are always changing, it's now changing at a speed and a magnitude that is not comparable to e.g. the Medieval Warm Period and there's plenty of evidence that this time the change is not (as in all other during Earth's history) a natural one, but caused by us humans.
Melting is inevitable at this point for a lot of places, given how fast climate destabilisation is happening I would be unsurprised if we get to include Greenland in the next models of ice free places in the short term. Implication is AMOC collapse, shifting the temperature equator south, causing all manner of chaos for civilisation. Taking that additional mass of ice off of the land relatively quickly, after several million years. is likely to have tectonic implications I'd assume.
10,000 years ago glaciers covered the entire northern hemisphere and were miles thick. They have been melting continuously ever since. Life flourished during this entire period. It's also been fully documented that the land rose during this period and continues to do so. No tectonic implications whatsoever occurred. In fact in numerous places where the land has risen it has even offset sea level rise. There has been no evidence that warming has caused any "chaos" anywhere in the world.
@@anthonymorris5084 10,000 years is a long time, a heartbeat on the geological clock. Yes we had miles of ice on top of us which is now gone. My point, perhaps badly made is regarding the current melt rate compared to historic and the effect on land deformation over a shorter window of time.
@@TwinFishAudio According to my NOAA graph the melt rate and subsequent sea level rise was quite rapid from 20,000 years ago to 7,000 years ago. A this point it slowed. 4,000 years ago it flattened to almost present day. 140 years ago saw a slight up tick. According to NASA sea level rise is occurring at around 3.4mm per year. Imperceptible without scientific instruments and easily adaptable. The rapid rate in the beginning was likely due to the fact that there was an incredible amount of ice to melt. Today, there is barely any ice left comparatively speaking. Cheers.
@@anthonymorris5084 Thanks for clarifying. Sometimes the obvious misses the cognition and you make a good point. With so little ice left it's pretty much even comparted to historic maxima. So yes, I'd suspect sea levels will rise some more as the rest of that ice melts, and a little more due to thermal expansion, perhaps not as catastrophically as I'd expected. As you say that melt rate puts it within scope for adaptation to some extent. I shall still have my 'end of the world' popcorn ready in any case.
Sea Level Rise is not the threat kit’s loss of habitat and collapse of food security and this includes catastrophic crop failures worldwide. This Sinai o is near term unlike sea level rise is a mid term issue. Most humans will not be around to see it!
Yeah that's true if crops can't survive within the limits of temperature and flooding within their fields because flooding drowns the roots of Agriculture the agricultural will die did the United Kingdom has experienced a rapid increase in the amount of flooding in their fields and so far I would only suspect that grocery prices are rising in the United Kingdom price of vegetables. The story is talked about how one farmer had to import his carrots from Israel defeat the people within the United Kingdom. That only raises the price of the carrots due to the increase to shipping cost
Sea level rise is occurring at 3.4mm per year. This is imperceptible without scientific instruments and easy to adapt to. 25% of the Netherlands already sits below sea level. The Dutch aren't dying, drowning, fleeing or becoming climate refugees. In fact the Netherlands is the 10th largest producer of food in the world and is a leader in indoor farming. CO2 is plant food. NASA claims the Earth has greened by 15% since CO2 began to rise. CO2 causes all plants to grow larger, faster and more resilient requiring less water. Horticulturalists pump up to 1500ppm into greenhouses. Agriculture production continues to rise uninterrupted and and warmer northern climates will add to food production. The greater threat to humanity and nature is overpopulation. Life flourishes under warming.
@@anthonymorris5084 first of all you need to understand that Earth is also had three greenhouse gas mass extinction events upgrade Rising CO2 levels and methane levels are trapping an enormous amount of heat for a thermal radiation in the atmosphere but 90% of that is being absorbed in the world's oceans did every year since 1970s Global ocean temperatures continues to rise because the oceans are now absorbing more radiation than allowed to escape into space this is causing more evaporation about water vapor which is traveling into the countries and causing more violent flooding
@@nicolatesla5786 There is no evidence that warming, rising CO2 or methane is causing flooding. This is the bullseye effect. 200 years ago there were only 1 billion people on the planet. Today there are 8 billion and exponentially more structures. There is simply more for nature to destroy. People are building in flood plains, along every river and coastline across the globe. Go and examine a photograph of Miami Beach in 1930. You'll be lucky if you can find a 5 story building. Today, 75 story condos line the coast. More people live in Miami Beach today than lived on the entire Eastern seaboard in 1800. More people live in Dade and Broward county today than lived on the entire southern coast of the US in 1900. The entire population on the continent of Australia in 1900 was 4 million. California in 1850 was 93,000. 174 years later and it's 40 million. That's a 43,000% increase. Add the fact that we now have 24/7 media that loves to shove every single catastrophe they find down our throats. There is no science that confirms any mass extinction event was caused by what you've cited. Science has listed numerous reasons why these events have taken place and they are all speculation. Evidence, data and history all prove that life flourishes under warming. It's the cold that kills.
No but those who do will probably be glad Florida is gone for good. Unfortunately they have to move inland and north to avoid the rising water and relentless heatwaves. We won't be here but someone will definitely be suffering as a result.
The inhabitant of Greenland must rejoice. The ice is gripping most of their country. Some resources, precious metals are now minable thanks to the melting of the ice. Climate change is also about Canada gaining new agricultural land. Only 10% is now agricultural land. Baffin Island peoples will soon be able to plant trees and they love it!
Plants and animals across the entire northern hemisphere are experiencing habitat expansion for the first time in modern history. All because of warming.
Not sure if you have ever used an Esky, it keeps ice as ice, the issue with the ice that keeps our planet the temperature it is, is that ours is left outside exposed to the element. As the atmosphere heats up humidity is going to rise so there will be more grams of moisture per sq metre of air but heat is rising faster than water can evaporate, meaning it's harder to rain, there will be less clouds too. When it does rain or snow then there will be larger amounts of the stuff falling at the same time, this can be problematic.
Carbon soot, like from fires across the planet? 2:38 Water running into holes and moving the ice? Better drill more hole to investigate. Earths broken, time to move to Mars :)
There is nothing on Mars, look it up. Elon selling his unrealistic and ridicules fantasy’s, while he could to something for our planet. I guess being the richest person in the world doesn’t give you insight or empathy !
Bullshit, the earth was cooling for 9,000 years prior to the rapid warming that started in the 1800s. Ice extent and volume was increasing during that time.
yes science caused abrupt global warming yet Joseph Fourier first published global warming science two hundred years ago, publishing in 1824 that "the effects of human industry" would heat up Earth. oops.
Many glaciers have receded miles on miles, earths cycles don't care what we do, we like to think we can change climates, terra form a desert planet like Mars, lol, think again. After we're gone the earth will retake every building every path of pavement and recycle it, it'll be like we were never here.🌎
"earths cycles don't care what we do" This has nothing to do with Earth's cycles. Global temps had been very stable for the last 6,000 years and were supposed to be very stable for the next 50,000 years, until we started burning fossil fuels in earnest. Our emissions caused ~98% of all net global warming since 1900.
The ice is melting and uncovering the Viking settlements where they lived and grew crops for several hundred years. They were self supporting. This was during the medieval warm period, which was just one of the previous warm periods. During this time grapes were grown extensively in England. The climate has natural variability. This was all before the increase in CO2.

18K years ago the ocean was 420 feet below current levels, so get it right we aren't stupid out here. 125K years ago the ocean was 20 feet higher than present levels. Watch out the sky is falling also.
It's fascinating to see that there are people who believe that the small amount of energy used by HAARP and DEWS is sufficient to alter the climate, yet don't believe that emitting gigatonnes of CO2 in the atmosphere does have an impact.

The temperature gradient between the Arctic and the equator is becoming smaller this is causing the are the atmospheric air circulation between Arctic and the equator to slow down. This calls the slowing of the Hadley cell circulation bands which causes the Slowdown of the floor jet stream and subtropical jet stream. They are starting to become fairly weak and they are being impacted more by the contact with low and high pressure fronts now the polar jet stream is wrapping around low and high pressure fronts creating these atmospheric circulation patterns called Omega heat stop. They are very deadly they kill humans and they kill biodiversity from heat stroke what period when they cover Forest canopy to Red Flag fire weather security all it needs is an ignition source the one that happened in April 2016, that Omega heat stop over Fort McMurray dried out the forest canopy to critically hi forest fire risk. An arsonist ignited the fire and it burned down half of the city of Fort McMurray
Mars isn't hot. It's dry due to a thin atmosphere. The sun has slowly blown away its oceans along with its atmosphere. This is due to a weak magnetic shield that provides little protection from the sun.
That's because inexpensive reliable energy and wealth creation produced the anomaly that is the modern world. It's the modern world that keeps you safe. Poverty doesn't solve anything.
They show the edge of the ice sheet melting but when they show the center of the ice sheet where they drill a cote hole in the ice there is NO water from melting ice. This makes the whole story a fabrication.
Every bit of this will be ignored by those who need to see it. We need to stop wasting time on this type of comms. Nobody cares about far away places melting, nor sea level rise in 100 years. The message must be immediate impact on insurance, economy and food. Show how much is happening sooner and more severe, explain why with weatherman level language. Explain what we got wrong that explains why it's worse. Ask me to help.
Because this climate change is not a disaster for everyone. climate change is a wonderful god-send for the Great Lakes Region of North America. Milder winters, longer growing seasons, LOTS of fresh water, and 600 feet above baseline sea level. You can always move to our safe haven and enjoy our prosperity.

This is presented as inevitable but we can do something about it. If every couple has just one child or less, we can reduce the human population from 8 billion to 2 billion in just two generations.

This is a very well-done documentary.
But I am a bit shocked at some of the replies and comments.
One reply was "Greenland is not an Island". Did the world decide that Greenland is no longer an Island? Many of you commented about this reply, and all are in agreement except for the one person who thinks it is not an island.
Another replied that "the water melts in the summer and refreezes in the winter". It makes me wonder if this person even watched the documentary.
So many folks today are against providing more money for schools in America.
Education is the most important asset that we have.
The coverage and thickness of year to year pack ice along Canada's east coast has also diminished considerably in recent years.
I was stationed in Thule Grenland for a year. The icecap does melt in the summer and freezes in the winter. Fact.
Erik the Red was a true visionary when he first saw the Island he had a vision far far into the future and thus named GREENLAND.
It is not just the problem with melting, there is also the rebound issue. As Greenland loses mass from the melting it also gets lighter and so the entire Island rises up and changes the pressure on the North American Tectonic plate.

@@Ryanscoolness "The next ice age will benefit all countries and regions in the world." There can't be another glaciation event with CO2 levels this high. Instead we are heading toward a mass extinction of life.

@@yedidyah-jedshlomoh1533 Uhh, be careful what you wish for. Making more nutrient-poor northern soils warm enough to farm while making more nutrient-rich southern areas too hot to farm is not a bargain, especially when the ripple effects of rapid warming include the ongoing breakdown of the web of life on land and in the ocean.
The big picture is that man-made warming, our pollution, and our direct killing of species and destruction of ecosystems are steadily degrading and destroying the Earth's ability to support life, including human life.

Glaciers receding 10 MILES per year?
That's insane. And terrifying.
Ahh. So we'll only have to deal with Mar-a-lago until Greenland's ice melts. Soon?😂
I've read that Greenland is losing 30 million tons of ice AN HOUR, but in this video they reference a 5 day period where it lost 1 billion tons every day. C3S estimates that 2/3rds of the 220,000 glaciers on the planet will have melted by 2,100. Recall that each pound absorbs 144 BTUs as it melts.
41 million tons an hour now, "One ton of ice melted in a 24 hour period is equal to 12,000 BTU per hour for 24 hours, the source for the common definition of a "Ton" of refrigeration."
I've never heard the saying but that's a lot of heat being absorbed, can't imagine how quick the heat will go up when it all disappears. Edit the heat absorbed is a fraction of what we the total that we put in.
55 billion in 5 days ??
@@simonpannett8810 I read/heard 5 billion in 5 days, so 1 billion daily, right?
@@antonyjh1234 So, I get 12 X 10 to the 12th BTUs/day absorbed by Greenland's melting ice, that's 12 trillion BTUs. Polymath Eliot Jacobsen calculates that our current heat imbalance is the heat equivalent of 20 Hiroshima yield nuclear bomb blasts PER SECOND, or about 1,400,000/day, where each one releases 63 trillion BTUs. Little wonder so much global ice is melting. The canary in the coal mine?
That heat storage capacity appears to be tailing off looking at recent sea surface temperature. As for the implications for AMOC that's anyone's guess. Add an uncontrolled methane spike currently ongoing and the resource footprint of AI to the mix (power, cooling water) and it's clear we have a choice of singularity or death. A black swan is still a black swan even if we know it's in the middle of the road.
A 'Soylent Green' world is coming for future generations as population continues to increase while at the same time the amount of living space to support them continues to decrease due to sea level rise and desertification.
population continues to increase, not if Bill Gates and co have anything to do with it
Over population is at the foundation of almost every single threat facing humanity and nature. Warming isn't killing anything.
While at the same time nothing happens to prevent mass starvation. Global irrigation would be a solution. Why don't they talk about that? They could even suck the wet fog from clouds, cool it and let it rain down safely to prevent flash flooding. Free energies are classified, thanks to the oil industry. Search for HHO, Joe cell. Test it yourselves!
On the meanwhile imploded "Georgia Guidestones" they said what they want:
A global population of 500 million people.
Guess what happens to the rest....
Much obliged for this video
Can't we have a chart showing the rate of ice melting over the recorded history? The charts usually project the current trend in a best-fit straight line. However, every change in nature is exponential. If the projection of melting in this video IS linear, an exponential curve will bring the projected tipping point far earlier.
NOAA has a chart. It clearly shows that at the end of the ice age 20,000 years ago sea levels began to rise.
Sea level rise accelerated 16,000 years ago.
10,000 years ago sea level rise began to slow.
4,000 years ago it flattened out. It remained flat for the next 4,000 years.
Approximately 140 years ago a slight uptick occurred and remained linear to present day.
According to NASA sea level is currently rising at 3.4mm per year, imperceptible without scientific instruments making adaptation very easy.
Sea level likely slowed 4,000 years ago because the vast majority of the ice covering the entire northern hemisphere had already melted. In comparison with today, there is barely any ice left to melt. Other than adaptation, there is nothing humanity can do to prevent or even mitigate sea level rise. It's here to stay.
@@anthonymorris5084 A catastrophic change is preceded by a more or less linear quantitative change in nature. Take the example of water boiling. The water heats up to 100 degrees Celsius linearly. The nonlinearity starts here. The temperature remains constant, but the input heat goes into vaporization. Small bubbles start to form locally, those spread, the size of the bubbles get bigger and finally the water suddenly starts to boil.
The change of state happens drastically, not linearly.
Big chance for you to shine, dude...Google the research...DOH!
@@sumanghosh5135 Change, does not equate to catastrophe. Warming has proven to be beneficial. There is certainly no evidence that warming is catastrophic. There is no evidence that sea level rise of 3.4mm per year can be characterized as catastrophic. There is no evidence at all that any glacial melt over the last 20,000 years has been negative.
"Can't we have a chart showing the rate of ice melting over the recorded history?" Due to our emissions, the rate of sea level rise has quadrupled since the early 1900s and it is still accelerating.

I admit that I am on the Cataclysmic consequences side of the Global Warming debate. Ever since I first chanted "Save the Amazon" in the 70-80's I had followed the science closely enough to have coined my own frase "The five year rule" witch essentially is that whatever sciences worst prediction for how soon we could reach some milestone we always reached it five years sooner.(Note; the Amazon drought broke that pattern ,it was not predicted to be even posible until the 2030-2040's).
Long story short ,I predicted 2023 twenty years before it happened. We are now in 2024 one year after the world reached its "Tipping Point", sadly that means that all the data that has brought me to that conclusion is already a historic description of what caused our climate to flip into a new reality.
I will not "Time Line" a list of these consequences here not least because "Learnt Helplessness " along with vested interests' our the two fronts we need to fight against.

The problem is volcanic activity is creating new islands inside of different regions which are putting mountains in these locations causing weather patterns to go into regions where they are not supposed to be similar to a location where the mountains are blocking rain from going into the desert and the solution to this issue would be making artificial mountains so we can control the weather ourselves and make it freeze on top of the mountains that we create, if we wanted to we could make this entire planet freeze if we were to make mountains. One problem that we face with making mountains is the only sensible way would be to make inflatable artificial mountains so when the weather got too hot or too cold we could rise and drop the mountain to achieve the conditions that we wanted because volcanic activity is constantly reoccurring which is causing this change in climate but in order for us to make inflatable mountains we would have to achieve world peace because anyone could easily destroy these inflatable mountains seeing that the only way that we could make them is if they were flexible so they could rise and fall , so the downfall is for us to solve this problem there must be World Peace otherwise we'll just destroy the things that we made and it's going to keep making the temperature go up

A catastrophic change is preceded by a more or less linear quantitative one in nature. Take the example of water boiling. The water heats up to 100 degrees Celsius linearly. The nonlinearity starts here. The temperature remains constant, but the input heat goes into vaporization. Small bubbles start to form locally, those spread, the size of the bubbles gets bigger and finally the water suddenly starts to boil.
The change of state happens drastically, not linearly.
The escalation of extreme weather occurrences and their intensifying severity is equivalent to increasing bubble diameters associated with the phase transition during water boiling. They also show that we have already reached that one hundred degrees Celsius temperature for some time. Put together they strongly suggest that the catastrophic collapse is on our doorstep.
Crevices are forming and progressively expanding at the juncture with the bedrock as the Doomsday Glacier flexes with the tide. Nevertheless, it will fail abruptly, akin to fatigue failure, rather than progressively.

During epochs of warming these ice sheets that covered the world shrank and Eric The Red apparently established a viable community in Iceland that farmed sheep, planted barley and were thriving at the time. The world cooled off and these communities vanished or did the human thing and adapted to conditions or relocated. The world is in a state of change pertaining to its climatic conditions which influence life in its totality as well as geological features. This happens in a timespan incomprehensible to most people. I was in secondary school in the late sixties and early seventeens and the existential threat then was a threatening ice age which some how or other in period of 20 to 30 years turned into a existential threat of the world vaporizing due to heat from the sun (the only significant source we know of). That makes a mockery of the concept of geological and climatological timescales. We have data from space which I assume is reasonably accurate and consistent from the end of the 1960's. All previous data is far from accurate in its minute detail and rather hodge podge in its gathering. We seem to have the idea that the world should stay without change as that condition will fit our agenda. We are also not very good custodians of the habitat we occupy as we seem to think we are the top of "creation" and everything on this planet is to serve us in our now state of incredible over consumption of manufactured goods as this is measured as progress, wealth and power. That we should do good science in all fields is a no brainer but politics and the accumulation of wealth fame and power should not be the end goal. Scientific discoveries are very seldom cast in stone. It should always be open to new evidence, ideas and discussion. People are loosing faith in the scientific institutions especially those in bed with politics and big business. These last two have proven themselves again and again to be rather dubious in their agendas as they are not always truthful in the aims they sprout to the general public.
Beautifully articulated...I cldnt agree more!!! 👍
Spot on
Yes during the Medieval Warm Period there were farming communities in Greenland as well. It was warmer then than it is now. Then it cooled off and they left. That’s the way it works on this planet, everything in nature goes in cycles.
I agree with much of what you say but the creation of wealth and our exploitation of our habitat is what keeps us safe. The modern world is an anomaly. The history of humanity is a story of starvation, suffering and impoverishment. Poverty solves nothing.
Environmentalists have this myopic belief that the Earth is some kind of pristine place of harmony and purity that humans, like a parasite are wrecking. In fact the Earth is a hostile place that will kill you at any given opportunity. Humans have made it more livable with each passing decade.
May I suggest you break up your post into paragraphs. More people will read it.
Sounds all well, but science has come a long way since the 1960's to understand what is happening, also on the timescales incomprehensible to most people, as you phrase it. And the dire facts are those: even though the planet and its climate are always changing, it's now changing at a speed and a magnitude that is not comparable to e.g. the Medieval Warm Period and there's plenty of evidence that this time the change is not (as in all other during Earth's history) a natural one, but caused by us humans.

It's a worry ...
Melting is inevitable at this point for a lot of places, given how fast climate destabilisation is happening I would be unsurprised if we get to include Greenland in the next models of ice free places in the short term. Implication is AMOC collapse, shifting the temperature equator south, causing all manner of chaos for civilisation. Taking that additional mass of ice off of the land relatively quickly, after several million years. is likely to have tectonic implications I'd assume.
10,000 years ago glaciers covered the entire northern hemisphere and were miles thick. They have been melting continuously ever since. Life flourished during this entire period.
It's also been fully documented that the land rose during this period and continues to do so. No tectonic implications whatsoever occurred. In fact in numerous places where the land has risen it has even offset sea level rise.
There has been no evidence that warming has caused any "chaos" anywhere in the world.
@@anthonymorris5084 10,000 years is a long time, a heartbeat on the geological clock. Yes we had miles of ice on top of us which is now gone. My point, perhaps badly made is regarding the current melt rate compared to historic and the effect on land deformation over a shorter window of time.
@@TwinFishAudio According to my NOAA graph the melt rate and subsequent sea level rise was quite rapid from 20,000 years ago to 7,000 years ago. A this point it slowed. 4,000 years ago it flattened to almost present day. 140 years ago saw a slight up tick.
According to NASA sea level rise is occurring at around 3.4mm per year. Imperceptible without scientific instruments and easily adaptable. The rapid rate in the beginning was likely due to the fact that there was an incredible amount of ice to melt. Today, there is barely any ice left comparatively speaking. Cheers.
@@TwinFishAudio We have much bigger problems. This is a diversion so you dont see what they dont want you to see.....
@@anthonymorris5084 Thanks for clarifying. Sometimes the obvious misses the cognition and you make a good point. With so little ice left it's pretty much even comparted to historic maxima. So yes, I'd suspect sea levels will rise some more as the rest of that ice melts, and a little more due to thermal expansion, perhaps not as catastrophically as I'd expected. As you say that melt rate puts it within scope for adaptation to some extent. I shall still have my 'end of the world' popcorn ready in any case.
Sea Level Rise is not the threat kit’s loss of habitat and collapse of food security and this includes catastrophic crop failures worldwide. This Sinai o is near term unlike sea level rise is a mid term issue. Most humans will not be around to see it!
Yeah that's true if crops can't survive within the limits of temperature and flooding within their fields because flooding drowns the roots of Agriculture the agricultural will die did the United Kingdom has experienced a rapid increase in the amount of flooding in their fields and so far I would only suspect that grocery prices are rising in the United Kingdom price of vegetables. The story is talked about how one farmer had to import his carrots from Israel defeat the people within the United Kingdom. That only raises the price of the carrots due to the increase to shipping cost
Sea level rise is occurring at 3.4mm per year. This is imperceptible without scientific instruments and easy to adapt to. 25% of the Netherlands already sits below sea level. The Dutch aren't dying, drowning, fleeing or becoming climate refugees. In fact the Netherlands is the 10th largest producer of food in the world and is a leader in indoor farming.
CO2 is plant food. NASA claims the Earth has greened by 15% since CO2 began to rise. CO2 causes all plants to grow larger, faster and more resilient requiring less water. Horticulturalists pump up to 1500ppm into greenhouses.
Agriculture production continues to rise uninterrupted and and warmer northern climates will add to food production. The greater threat to humanity and nature is overpopulation. Life flourishes under warming.
@@anthonymorris5084 first of all you need to understand that Earth is also had three greenhouse gas mass extinction events upgrade Rising CO2 levels and methane levels are trapping an enormous amount of heat for a thermal radiation in the atmosphere but 90% of that is being absorbed in the world's oceans did every year since 1970s Global ocean temperatures continues to rise because the oceans are now absorbing more radiation than allowed to escape into space this is causing more evaporation about water vapor which is traveling into the countries and causing more violent flooding
@@nicolatesla5786 There is no evidence that warming, rising CO2 or methane is causing flooding. This is the bullseye effect. 200 years ago there were only 1 billion people on the planet. Today there are 8 billion and exponentially more structures. There is simply more for nature to destroy. People are building in flood plains, along every river and coastline across the globe. Go and examine a photograph of Miami Beach in 1930. You'll be lucky if you can find a 5 story building. Today, 75 story condos line the coast.
More people live in Miami Beach today than lived on the entire Eastern seaboard in 1800. More people live in Dade and Broward county today than lived on the entire southern coast of the US in 1900. The entire population on the continent of Australia in 1900 was 4 million. California in 1850 was 93,000. 174 years later and it's 40 million. That's a 43,000% increase.
Add the fact that we now have 24/7 media that loves to shove every single catastrophe they find down our throats.
There is no science that confirms any mass extinction event was caused by what you've cited. Science has listed numerous reasons why these events have taken place and they are all speculation. Evidence, data and history all prove that life flourishes under warming. It's the cold that kills.
No but those who do will probably be glad Florida is gone for good. Unfortunately they have to move inland and north to avoid the rising water and relentless heatwaves. We won't be here but someone will definitely be suffering as a result.
Oh never mind.
Who's going to fight for the right
The inhabitant of Greenland must rejoice. The ice is gripping most of their country. Some resources, precious metals are now minable thanks to the melting of the ice. Climate change is also about Canada gaining new agricultural land. Only 10% is now agricultural land. Baffin Island peoples will soon be able to plant trees and they love it!
I hope this is sarcasm, and not……
Yee for climate change I guess :/ 😢

Plants and animals across the entire northern hemisphere are experiencing habitat expansion for the first time in modern history. All because of warming.

@@volkerengels5298in summer heat you lose ice in winter it grows back you Dumbo
Not sure if you have ever used an Esky, it keeps ice as ice, the issue with the ice that keeps our planet the temperature it is, is that ours is left outside exposed to the element. As the atmosphere heats up humidity is going to rise so there will be more grams of moisture per sq metre of air but heat is rising faster than water can evaporate, meaning it's harder to rain, there will be less clouds too. When it does rain or snow then there will be larger amounts of the stuff falling at the same time, this can be problematic.

More food, more living space, warmer for northern Europe. Win win. It's all occured before anyway. The Vikings used to farm there centuries ago.
We didn’t cause the ice age, nor did we cause the melt.
Bullshit, the earth was cooling for 9,000 years prior to the rapid warming that started in the 1800s. Ice extent and volume was increasing during that time.
More water in the oceans more weight on the ocean floor, more earthquakes 😢
Ironic how they're using global-warming-causing gas-powered planes, snowmobiles and chainsaws to do their thing on the ice.
yes science caused abrupt global warming yet Joseph Fourier first published global warming science two hundred years ago, publishing in 1824 that "the effects of human industry" would heat up Earth. oops.
If they didn’t find out what was happening, people would have nothing to deny.

Earth cycles do care per your comment because, per your comment, Earth will repair itself when we are gone!!
Start by asking a gardener (edit :D) how greenhouses work.
"earths cycles don't care what we do" This has nothing to do with Earth's cycles. Global temps had been very stable for the last 6,000 years and were supposed to be very stable for the next 50,000 years, until we started burning fossil fuels in earnest. Our emissions caused ~98% of all net global warming since 1900.
The ice is melting and uncovering the Viking settlements where they lived and grew crops for several hundred years. They were self supporting. This was during the medieval warm period, which was just one of the previous warm periods. During this time grapes were grown extensively in England. The climate has natural variability. This was all before the increase in CO2.
War and commuting with cars are major factors in the decline of the ice sheets.
The number one source is burning coal for electricity. Cars are well down on the list.
Greenland heating? Maybe they should check the temperature at ground level.
The ice shows exactly that.

There's a reason it's called "Greenland". When the Norsemen came across the land it was green with vegetation.
No. It was icy, way more than it is now. Leif Eriksson called it Grönland to try and attract settlers there. It was a failure. This place has not been green for many million years.

That's what happens when you hear up the ionosphere with continual bombings including atomic bombs and stuff like HAARP and DEWS.
It's fascinating to see that there are people who believe that the small amount of energy used by HAARP and DEWS is sufficient to alter the climate, yet don't believe that emitting gigatonnes of CO2 in the atmosphere does have an impact. You really don't need a degree in physics to understand that this is nonsense!

~ Ice is Cold and Wet.... we dont' need it ~
You are incredibly wrong. Glacial ice in the Arctic is absolutely critical add to reflecting 98% of solar radiation back into space. As the Arctic continues to warm. The temperature gradient between the Arctic and the equator is becoming smaller this is causing the are the atmospheric air circulation between Arctic and the equator to slow down. This calls the slowing of the Hadley cell circulation bands which causes the Slowdown of the floor jet stream and subtropical jet stream. They are starting to become fairly weak and they are being impacted more by the contact with low and high pressure fronts now the polar jet stream is wrapping around low and high pressure fronts creating these atmospheric circulation patterns called Omega heat stop. They are very deadly they kill humans and they kill biodiversity from heat stroke what period when they cover Forest canopy to Red Flag fire weather security all it needs is an ignition source the one that happened in April 2016, that Omega heat stop over Fort McMurray dried out the forest canopy to critically hi forest fire risk. An arsonist ignited the fire and it burned down half of the city of Fort McMurray

Mars isn't hot. It's dry due to a thin atmosphere. The sun has slowly blown away its oceans along with its atmosphere. This is due to a weak magnetic shield that provides little protection from the sun.
