Man-made climate change is warming the planet's atmosphere and oceans, and the effects are being felt the most at the poles. In Antarctica, home to the largest chunk of ice on earth, ice shelves and glaciers are beginning to collapse, and one in particular could spell disaster. The Thwaites Glacier, in West Antarctica, has retreated more than 14 kilometers in the last two decades as warm ocean water undermines it. The glacier is situated on a downward slope that falls deep into the center of Antarctica. It's why scientists are racing to find out how close it is to total collapse - and what that would mean for future sea levels.

Everyone’s talking about how “they didn’t think 2020 could get any worse” as if this isn’t a problem that’s been going on for years.
Most of the issues everyone's complaining about in 2020 aren't new, they're just forced to be aware of them all at once.

Thats what they are after
How do we stop it though? Humans never stopped an active volcano before... folks are talking about CO2 but how can we inject it into the volcano? Does CO2 stop volcanos? Scary stuff and no one is talking about real solutions.
@gdpm It's not natural at the rate at which it's happening. Read. Listen. Think.
@gdpm its not natural how fast the world is heating up and we need to prevent it because it would devastate the world
Humans are known for procrastinating. If they aren’t effected in particular they don’t care. That’s just how it is.
Majority of people live near the coasts and our economy depends on marine transportation. A 3m rise in sea level would render most of our coastal infrastructure useless. Which means even if you live on himalayas you'll be affected by it.
It's okay, Ben Shapiro says we can just sell our coastal infrastructure.
Hurricane Katrina rendered coastal infrastructure useless from New Orleans to Pensacola Fl. As soon as this happened we all waived the white towels and gave up our homes and businesses. No one lives in those cities today. We lost. It’s over.
All their predictions are lies. don't worry
I agree..and I live here.

I’m so sorry you have to feel so helpless. It’s a terrible way to feel. But take heart-we (the scientists) still know so little about these things, they get it wrong all the time. Remember that Nobel Prize winner, Al Gore, his predictions have proven to be COMPLETELY WRONG. His mistake was making predictions that weren’t centuries away, so he was proven wrong before his Nobel prize even needed dusting.

Watch the beginning of the video. It shows basically "half" of Antartica and says it contains enough ice to raise the ocean 3 meters. Then it says the glacier (which is just a very small part of that half) is in trouble. Oceans aren't going to rise 3 meters. They want to scare you. You want to be scared. Stop being so dramatic.
"Thwaites could be the most dangerous glacier in the world."
That's why people are working really hard to destroy it.
Dangerous because it's melting, not because it exists.

The biggest problem about sea level rise is nobody knows when it’s actually going to happen as “scientists” have been claiming it’s gonna happen for decades but all the same beaches and coastlines are still here and unchanged.
Same can be said about the Amazon Rainforest. Claudio Villas Boas quoted a study claiming that the Amazon Rainforest would be decimated by the year 2000. Fortunately, he was wrong.
See levels have already shown slight rises it’s not massive yet because the ice hasn’t melted yet

It makes me sad that this realization has been around since the middle of the 20th century. There is a critical mass of people on the planet that are either incapable of understanding, unwilling to understand, or understand but don't care.

*Let's be real.* There's more than enough landmass left for people even if all of Antarctica melts; climate change ain't gonna be extincting anything that has to do with people.
@Toughen Up, Fluffy Biodiversity is the biological variety and variability of life on Earth. Biodiversity is a measure of variation at the genetic, species, and ecosystem level. Terrestrial biodiversity is usually greater near the equator, which is the result of the warm climate and high primary productivity. Biodiversity is not distributed evenly on Earth, and is richer in the tropics. These tropical forest ecosystems cover less than ten percent of earth's surface, and contain about ninety percent of the world's species. Marine biodiversity is usually higher along coasts in the Western Pacific, where sea surface temperature is highest, and in the mid-latitudinal band in all oceans. There are latitudinal gradients in species diversity. Biodiversity generally tends to cluster in hotspots, and has been increasing through time, but will be likely to slow in the future as a primary result of deforestation. It encompasses the evolutionary, ecological, and cultural processes that sustain life.Wikipedia

So like does the climate not change on it's own also?

One country is leading in pollution by a lot. Maybe we should talk to them....
It's clear we're impacting the climate, and may tip systems into cycles of change we can't predict, but the volume of ice and the suggested sea level rise in this video seem disproportionate.
I commend your skepticism
Well, then, there are some scientific papers about that. Go read them, and all the maths behind. Or just watch the video from the people that actually read those.
@@mismis3153 chill
It's because of the controversial nature of the subject, people in the know are realizing they can't tell the masses about what they find.
If they sound the alarm and a politician disagrees with them it would destroy their careers, so you have to do research on a large scale in order to find the truth in this world today.
The numbers don't add up because the Earth is doing all the heavy lifting right now and when it stops meaning when the ice breaks or melts off of the land it will increase the ocean mass .
That's what is causing the calculations to be erroneous, it's going to be like throwing a softball in a five gallon bucket.
@@mismis3153I've read a lot. Which is why I think the math is off. We need to take climate change seriously, whatever its cause, but immutable facts are what's needed not vagueries.

I think most people agree it has always changed. :)
Bryan Hann while yes Earth has always warmed and cooled. Never this fast.

First off Earth is warming due to human activity. The debate is over. Now the debate is trying to fix it.
Also let me ask you these questions. Yes Earth climate has changed in the past but tell me this:
1. What caused those changes?
2. How fast were they?
3. What were the impacts of that change?
Just because Earths climate has always changed doesn’t mean the current warming is a threat to worry about.
During the last interglacial period in the Emian 125,000 years ago. Earths temperature was 1-2°C warmer than today (today=1950 levels in PaloClimatology Earth was warmed 1°C so far since 1950 due human activity) and sea levels were 6m (18ft) higher than today. Now this didn’t immediately happen took thousands of years. But that’s one example on why past climate changes mean bad news for the current rapid global warming.

Well, they said that to become a Type 1 civilization, we must be able to see all of our planet's energy. That's what humans are doing without thinking about the consequences.
Mars isn't realy feasible in the long run.
We might be able to send humans to Mars but at the expense of those people getting cancer. The atmosphere of Mars isn't the same as Earth so all of the solar radiation will hit humans way quicker than they would on earth.
This *can* be mediaited by using lead but that becomes highly unfeasible knowing how thick the walls, roof, etc would have to be.
C02 is 0.04 % of the atmosphere and one of the least volatile greenhouse gases, accounting for an estimated 0.001% of warming. The mediaeval warm period was hotter than today. The rate at which it is getting warmer is also not unprecedented. The phenomenon we are seeing is typical and predictable by understanding solar cycles in particular. Air pollution is a major problem such as when we were dumping cfcs in the ozone layer. According to NASA, the greatest side effect of dumping mass amounts of c02 in the air has been a greening of our planet through photosynthesis. Humans have a lot to be blamed for, global warming is not one of them.
@randomguy8196 its not about living on mars. Its just that when we will see few humans traveling at a speed of thousands of miles per second for 6 months covering 100+ million km , landing on it for the first time and seeing two moons and blue sunset. These are the things that gives me goosebumps

If you fill a glass with ice and water and the ice melts, does it overflow? If the ice is floating on the water, is it not displacing the same amount of water?
My exact thoughts
You would be right if the thing being talked about in the video was an iceberg, but it's not it's a glacier. Know the difference
If glaciers were already *in* the ocean, that ignorant denialist lie would work. But glaciers are on land, melting and sliding towards the coast. Get it?
Try this accurate analogy: if you fill a glass with water and then drop an ice cube into it, it displaces water and its level goes up.
The ice protruding above the water ...once it melts...will increase the water level.

Try this at home, in a glass cup put water halfway then add a few cubes of ice, mark the level of the water now, then wait till ice melts and see if the level went up or stayed the same. My hypothesis is that it will stay the same unless we mark the water level before the ice was added. Similar example to that being shown here but at small scale.
A glass is too small of a sample size because only so much can float above the surface
How much of your ice is above the water at start. Imagine filling glass 1/4 with water then top off with ice. Pretty sure the water level is going to rise.😉

I'm not sure we can stop it. Most scientists believe we are past the point of no return. Even if all humans get exterminated the globe will continue to get hotter. Which means Antarctica will still melt and the oceans will still rise. Best we can do is slow it down and hope our future generations can cool the weather.
Why should we? Antarctica was a jungle long after dinosaurs went extinct and BEFORE humans. Cores drilled through Antarctic ice have proven this with NO doubt.
@@absurdandy4122 of course we can't stop it, it's happening naturally, as it has been for centuries, without any input from human activity. Man made global warming is a scam and a lie. It's been pushed by the same lunatics that 30 years ago they were pushing global cooling.

It's not a natural disaster, it's caused by humans, global warming, eco-collapse and glacier retreats, if we had regulated our output, non of this would have gone this bad, we had done half way to the tipping point but we had slowed a bit down recently, but not fast enough, coal plants is being built and fossil fuel is still getting burnt

Could it be that they make money on creating Climate Fear? NASA have proved that the Antarctic Ice Cap is growing, not shrinking. They have a very good view of it over time.

If you think the only reason anyone will miss you is some material capacity you have a problem, be that as a person or as a country.

If the earth is really heating up at a rapid pace we should try this . Everyone in the world should go buy a small window unit a/c , place it out in the backyard , at a coordinated time we all turn on our window units and cool down the earth , problem solved . Now we need to figure out how to stop islands from tipping over when too many people are on it.
I hate that everyone says things like "Sea level could rise". It's already rising, and it will rise for at least the next 40 years, probably more, 100+ years
not only scientists, everyone should be worried.

@@ytancorbel1898 well to be fair the netherlands has planned for a sea level rise of a meter in 2040-2050
Even a 5m sea level rise would be doable, tho its cheaper to start cutting on emmisions ;)

This is scary.
They have been talking about this in Dutch schools, the possibilities of Zeeland going underwater.

The sea rise in Wellington, NZ, is +2.72mm/year and there is no speed increase. The trend is the same since maregraphes have been introduced in New Zeland in 1940

Make plastic pipes from Antarctica to all the deserts of the earth. That way we don’t have to worry about rising ocean levels, plastic waste, and you can have your desert oasis. I know it’s a long shot, but that’s all I got.

While it is a great idea to keep earth as clean as possible and take care of it, the reason for doing that is not climate change. Until we advance to a type 1 civilisation we will have no control over this. Please stop blindly believing the media.
considering the sheer size of the oceans, it's mind boggling just how much water is currently stored on top of Antarctica, that a glacier like this can raise the water levels that much.
I don't know if I consider it mind blowing that the water raises up a few meters. I'm not even worried if it goes up hundreds of feet

We can
@@mrcar2237 no, everything you do has an effect, while you see the problems it's already causing humans, and what they will cause to humans in the future, you don't see what it's doing to the rest of life on the planet. Hundreds of species disappear everyday, but no one cares, it's not a big enough issue yet, for humans at least, we still just say this and that, but nobody's willing to sacrifice their comfort, because it would be "too small to have an effect"

It is amazing to think that such a small area (relatively speaking on a global scale) could raise the entirety of earths oceans so much.
It’s not what we see, it’s what we do not see underneath the water surface that devastates.

We have reduced Polar ice by 12 %, that equates to a 7 meter rise in sea level, according to the current volume of ice lost. The earth's vapor has doubled in the last 10 years, that is the location of the increase in new fresh water.
