Is Greenland adjusting to abrupt Climate Change? Can we???

- Climate change is a daily reality up in Greenland. This week we look at the winners and losers in this global adaptation challenge and get a glimpse of what's coming our way in the next few years.
When it comes to scientific predictions, it’s seems if you half the time predictions and double the threat your close to what’s actually happening!
Every show an informative, interesting, and well done show everyone needs to see. Keep making more.
Thanks Luther. I really appreciate your feedback and support. I'll keep going each week as long as there's something relevant to talk about (which at this stage looks like I'll be be busy for the rest of my life!!). All the best. Dave
Just Have a Think , may not have to suffer too long, maybe, it’s getting like, Dads Army , “we’re all doomed.”
You can also adjust the quantity of each flush by the stop screw on the valve end of the ball lever. Or just put a brick in the tank to displace the water volume flushed. Any place clear of the float traverse.
It's a shame, or at least silly, how some people in the comments get all in a twist about what the scientific fact of this or that thickness of ice or cubic somethings that is lost. The power of this channel is that it brings difficult complex systems to light in a way that is understandable and relevant to life today. And that is done better here than anywhere I've seen.
great production as always. word of the day, "ponty".
Remote switch off, great ideas but. These sockets extensions would be best Surge Protected , or you could lose all that plugged into it.
Who Pays the Piper Calls the Tune. As long as vested interests are allowed to finance our politicians, the politicians will do their bidding.
At 4:18 "30 billion more tonnes of ice each year" is waaaay off Mister Think. Anybody who's interested search "GRACE" and "GRACE-FO" and find data or a plot. Well it's been averaging a loss of ~220 billion tonnes of ice each year since 2002, but a lot of variation, definitely not just 30. 30 is a negligible amount.
Logic and common sense no longer appeal to people. We've moved well beyond the boundaries of political debate, and into a territory of hatred and violence. When societies experience major changes in economics, social conditions, drug use, military fatigue, poverty, debt and political chaos . . they will turn on each other. Durkheim wrote about this. Each interest group contracts on itself, becomes more rigid, more intolerant of the Other, until civil war erupts. There is nothing very "civil" about U.S. culture at this moment in history. Last weekend 76 people were shot in Chicago, 12 killed. And that's just in one city!
Hippo bag? We just toss in a brick in Northern California... lol
Thanks for the presentation and keep banging the drum....they've got to hear it sooner or later!
Average ice thickness in Antarctica is 1.5 KM BTW
That can't be correct. I've decided that I'll go with glaciologists I've heard for the ice quantity and with Wiki & my world map for Antarctica size, which gives average ice thickness above sea level in Antarctica is 2,085 m and then of course there's a vast amount of additional ice below sea level. So I'm breaking with established tradition by not getting my Earth facts from random Utube commenters (nor from random Utube publishers like Mister Think for that matter). I like to be daring and unconventional and go with what professional scientists who do this stuff for a living for their entire lives say.
Wonderfully clever visuals!
That was interesting about the mackerel, thanks. But buying an appliance to switch off other appliances? Just pull the plug lol! And if you wanna save water just catch it each time you are waiting for the tap or the shower to heat up. That will give you enough to flush the toilet, water the plants, do a handwash etc.
Hi Forest Dweller. All great suggestions, thank you :-)
I guess I'm trying to reach the city types who apparently are 'money rich and time poor' and who probably wouldn't bother switching off their appliances without the aid of some other device (seems to be the way the world is going). I'll definitely get the water suggestion into a video at some point though. Thanks for subscribing and for leaving constructive feedback - very much appreciated. Dave
Hi JHAT, i am a city type myself. But i am not brainwashed to industrial dependence. This ain't no rocket science at all. You can wash by hand and throw away your machines. You can make coffee without a coffee machine etc. What you don't wanna do if you care about the environment is buy gadgets made from fossil fuel industry...good luck and have a lovely day.
Fair push back my friend. I can see you're well ahead of me on this. I'm still learning a lot - in fact the channel came about mainly as a result of my desire to understand more about what I can do. I'm 50 next March and I want to try to make sure I've got my house in order by then, as well as talking to as many others as possible about how to change behaviour, so if I stray off the path a little then It's good to know I've got folks like you to nudge me back on. Thanks again for your time in responding and your wise words. Dave
Good luck mate!
We can't do shit about it
Were fucked

2018 was a bad year for wildfires here in California and it seems they will only get worse.
At the edge of extinction only Ocean Mechanical Thermal Energy Conversion remains so we can love longer folks..
Some details, please. Make your case.
@@ronaldgarrison8478 I think you have to tune in to late night infomercials to get the full commercial.
@@grindupBaker You're talking to a guy who doesn't even have a TV, so not much chance of that.
IAC I'm just routing around the damage. Having to do a lot of that lately.
Just false promises ..... when will I get the ice free arctic ..... I am sick and tired of waiting
Anticipation highlights the satisfaction. Would you like us to bring you some bread rolls and a dish of butter while you wait ?
grindupBaker Thank you very much 🙏🏻
So kind of you
Let me know what you like to eat ... once we have ice free arctic ... we will go there together and have snacks
I feel so lonely at times so much so that even apocalypse seems to be a good idea so wilbe great to have you as company
Yeah but the argument of fresh water being lost if Greeland melts completely doesn't really hold since NOBODY is currently drinking that water. So how do you lose something you never planned to use in the first place?
Hi Richie. Thanks for your comments. It's a fair observation, although my thinking was really that we don't want to lose any more land based ice than absolutely necessary given that 97.5% of our planet's water is already in the oceans , as I mentioned in program 4 :-
th-cam.com/video/zPgdaBQjPJI/w-d-xo.html
The Greenland ice sheet is far too vast to ever completely melt, as I mentioned in the video, but any fresh water, whether locked up in ice or otherwise, must surely be regarded as a potential resource - if we project outwards towards the end of the century and assume the world population rises as predicted, then who knows what we'll be trying to use to supply 11 billion people with something to drink.
One year later! OH dear, more ice than ever! loadocrapology!
Think you'll still be in denial when theres no food on the shelves and everything around you is dying?
@@Jc-ms5vv The food supply systems are being destroyed now!, see the french farmers revolts going on now, see Ice age farmer on U/T now! Warm C02 rich atmosphere grows more vegetation not less! Stop living in fear! and think about the big orange ball in the sky???? Love to all!
@@steviejustamann9689 ignorant people like yourself will start waking up in the coming years
@@Jc-ms5vv Sooo? you refuse to even look at offered proof,,,, typical! Mabey look at the lovely warm spring weather in Europe right now? Oh,, wait,, its so warm its snowing ,,, right???? Love to all!
@@steviejustamann9689 already done my research on both sides . I think what you're missing is the species and habitat humans rely on for our survival already cant adapt to the changes the planet is experiencing and thats before we hit abrupt climate change
She wasn't really melting.. It was just a phase she was going through.
She reminds me quite a lot of my ex wife. I mean in an impartial & non-judgemental sort of way she does.
Positively negative outlook. As with most resources there’s no shortage just poor distribution and management by greedy humans. According to the Bible it will all be over soon, but it’s gonna get hot as hell! (1 Kings 18:35)
By far the most inaccurate out of date material I have seen this year.
