Understanding Glaciers

  • In this video, we will take a look at glaciers, the massive sheets of ice that move along the Earth's surface due to gravity. We will explore how continental and alpine glaciers carve out the surface leaving features like drumlins, kettle lakes, u-shaped valleys, and terminal moraines. We will also look at how climate change and global warming are causing ice to melt, diminishing the glaciers that exist on Earth.

    Needless to say that over the last 20,000 years glaciers successfully melted without human contribution and the water levels raised by 120 meters. In average the mean ocean level rise rate was 15mm/year and during melting pulses up to 30mm/year. Big question is about human contribution to this process? Our current water level rise is 3mm/year. So yes, glaciers are melting but do humans contribute significantly?
    Otherwise very good presentation. Enjoyed it a lot. Thank you.

      Well according to just about every scientist in the field who is not paid for, or mad, yes it seems we are contributing decisively. If we are not in the field ourselves we need to listen, as we should to anyone who knows what they are talking about. There's no "otherwise".

    • @coltendavison4351

      Ice cores from Greenland and Antarctica show all the climatic changes that our planet has had over a million years or so, because fallen snow traps small air bubbles and when the snow forms ice the air bubbles remain. Scientists use these to look at the air conditions from the past, and the correlation between carbon dioxide levels rising from the Industrial Era and beyond and heat changes is more than proof of climate change, do your research.

    • @coltendavison4351
      @coltendavison4351 ปีที่แล้ว

      And coal and fossil fuels are full of carbon because they originally were plant life, and plants take in CO2, but when plants die in swamps they don't decay if the conditions are right and the carbon is locked in the plants, then heat and pressure turn it into coal, natural gas, or oil. When humans burn those fossil fuels the CO2 that was locked for millions of years is released into the atmosphere. CO2 is a greenhouse gas because it traps solar radiation from the sun heats the planet up.

      ​@@finosuilleabhain7781but those other 'non-mad' scientists are getting paid to come to guided conclusions too. But you left that part out of your rant.
      It appears that the earth is doing what it has been doing for millions of years. But there is big money in blaming humans. We live on a ball spinning through an infinite galaxy and you think everything should be stable forever so you can go to Tahoe???😂

    8:20. That is a totally different angle exaggerating the melting of the glacier. But hey, whatever you need to do to get paid. In the glacier at 8:47, that's still glacier underneath the dirt.. just not taken after a recent snow.
