Glaciers form the largest reserves of fresh water on the planet, storing 75% of the Earth's fresh water! Today they cover about 10% of the Earth. During the last Ice Age, glaciers covered about 32% of the total area of the planet. There are two types of glaciers. The first are alpine glaciers. They form on the slopes of mountains and slowly move down valleys. The second are ccontinental glaciers - continental ice sheets that cover large areas. The largest of the existing glaciers is the Lambert Glacier, located in Antarctica. It is about 100 kilometers wide, 400 kilometers long and 2.5 kilometers deep! The two largest ice sheets on Earth, the ice of Greenland and Antarctica, make up more than 99% of the world's glacial ice. But what would happen if all this enormous mass of glaciers melt? Where would all water go? What would happen to the oceans? Would salt water mix with fresh water? In this video you will learn what would happen if all the glaciers were gathered together in one place; what parts of the land would remain if all the glaciers melted; what would happen to Antarctica and finally, what would happen to the flora and fauna and how might the big meling change the length of day? These are just a few interesting facts.

Yup, just wait about 10,000 years
Yep, we are doomed...
And i will have to get a deep diving submarine to get home!!
One flaw in this video, IMO, is the hypothesis that rising heat would expand desert areas. Rising temperatures actually increase humidity due to the increased evaporation of ocean water. And that means a lot more rainfall and an expansion of forest and rainforest.
The expansion of deserts is usually associated with glacial periods. During glacial periods, rainforest in Africa almost disappear.
I don't think it matters one way or the other? There isn't any advantage to rising sea levels and higher global temperatures. The ecosystem will be skewed to support life that can adjust to the new "normal". Some plants, animals, and insects will adjust and even thrive in the new environment: while, others will not. We have to decide what % of the +8 billion human population we are willing to sacrifice for this future.
@@mrgold3591 well of course but getting the facts right is still important
@@kobeclifford5421 Unfortunately, we all got into the habit of making up and only believing facts that fit our views. I don't think it matters if it is climate change, global warming, increase of carbon emissions, or normal warming/cooling cycles of the earth. The planet is warmer today compared to 100 years ago and it will be warmer 100 years from now. Doesn't matter what is causing it; but, can we start to do something to slow it down?
If rising heat is done on purpose over the land masses then it would cause desertification and would not increase humidity but prevent it.
@@floridaknight3052 I think Marcel Williams is also neglecting to factor in the higher heat over land means a change in weather patterns. The USA/Europe had "heat domes" in areas in summer of +40C/+100F in areas that normally see temps in mid-upper 20C (70F-lower 80F) range (Pacific Northwest, eastern part of USA, England, Central Europe). We are not getting the normal rain/snow all year, ground and surface fresh water levels are at an all time low, and wildfires are out of control adding more pollution to the air making things worse.
After heat domes comes cold domes in winter. Temps are too low for snow and you get days/weeks of below 0C/0F temps like a cold frozen dessert. Over 240 people died in Texas in 2021 when a climate caused cold dome settled over it for a week.
eventhough this is far down the line, it’s actually pretty scary to think about the fact that everything will be gone when this happens
Then their fear mongering was successful.
Lol like we're really going too be able to fully control our climate. Look at ice core samples, this earth has been uninhabitable meany times before human existence. THAT'S IRREFUTABLE!
The earth goes through cycles. Our lives are hardly compared to a blink of an eye in that amount of time. It will get much warmer, and much colder later further down the line at some point.
@@jfishmento4147 Prove it.
It’s really not that far down the line
It would be interesting to see the impact on earth if temperatures were to drop by 5° It seems to me that that would be worse for us humans.
But that is never discussed.
That would be a nightmare for me, I get cold very easily.
I’m ok with my house being at 50
Maybe global warming will trigger a global cooling that could yield a liveable balance. Would humans be able to adapt to this new climactic equilibrium? Doubt it.
“Large areas of north Australia could become hot, hostile and uninhabitable”
Yeah… Where are you living? It’s already like that!
When domino's fall, they don't stop until all of them have fallen, it's just like current living conditions, it's only going to get worse, no matter what man attempts to do in order to try and delay events that are inevitably going to occur, man's time will run out, the question is, when?

I always thought that melting ice wouldn't affect water levels to that extent, because I always compared it to having a full glass of water with ice cubes and when the ice cubes melt it doesn't over flow the glass. I understand that some countries and land are below sea levels which makes sense they would be affected. But I think that alot of information out there is exagerated.
Same thoughts I’m having . It’s all fear mongering.
There are a lot of untruths and false information,stats going onto the computer modeling are not right and undetectable ,it's all politics and money grabbing and brainwashing the young people. Alot of people are making money out of the false narrative of climate change and its been going on for 50 to 60 plus years.Dirty lying politics.
well 65 meters or 180 feet is pretty small compared to the rest of the water in the oceanic glass too. To proportion is the same, but that small amount will flood most of the large cities because they are coastal.
The Earth’s climate has been oscillating between hot and cold for millions of years, it’s a natural pendulum caused by oscillations of the Earth’s axis that rights itself whenever it swings too far in either direction by utilising ocean currents and forestation. The issue is not with CO2 levels being released, that’s just a patsy, a guilt trip designed to take the blame away from the real culprits and place it on the heads of the filthy unwashed masses. The issue is with a lack of forestation to absorb the CO2. Replant the rainforests that are being shaved from the Earth for massive profit and watch CO2 drop, along with temperatures. Money is always the cause of every problem. Always.
Well the ice in a glass make up the volume that water isn’t using…so that’s why when ice melts it doesn’t overflow the glass. So comparing that to our planet is not accurate. Water on our planet needs a place to go so it will flood coastal lands.
if it happens slowly enough the fish and animals will probably adapt.... like they already have to earths current enviroment
If something happened to make all the glaciers melt, it wouldn't be the water we need to be concerned with.
it’s climate change making the glaciers melt. while they won’t melt overnight, this could be a possibility soon
That's right...because we'd be dead and there would be nothing to be concerned about.
I remember hearing in school decades ago that there would be no icecaps by the year 2000. I also remember hearing we would run out of petrol around the same time.
California was also going to break off and fall into the ocean. Still keeping my fingers crossed on that one.
They were creating democrat fearful voters that love to hate.
I remember when they were predicting an ice age and we were all going to freeze and starve.
There were even giant pull down maps in one of my classrooms in the early 1970s.
The maps showed all the areas on the globe where we wouldn't be able to grow crops. Turned out to be all political BS as usual.
Interestingly Biden was in office even waaaaaaay back then.
not far from it
Yep, and acid rain was going melt our skin off.
Actually, this has happened in the past. After the end of the last glacial maximum (the peak of the Ice Age), the sea level rose 100 meters or about 420 feet. Coastal populations had to move, cities were flooded and rich areas, like where the Persian Gulf is now, no longer were farmed. Today, however, the Antarctica is experiencing record cold. and it looks like we really are in a cooling trend since the 1930s.
Yeah it is, except that global warming is more of a long term thing and sudden spikes for even a few years do not change the fact that the surface temperature of the planet is still going up WAY faster than any ice age ending should justify

I don’t understand how the Grand Canyon used to be filled with water and now it’s not. All this talk about glaciers melting and water rising… are we saying that water levels will go BACK to what they once were? If so, does that mean this is a normal CYCLE of water rising, freezing, melting, etc?
"THEY" the leftist climate gloom and doom machine never say "NATURAL" its always our fault.
and yes it is a natural cycle that occurs every single 100,000 years and we are now at the end of that 100,000 year mark.
these extreme climate changes have naturally occurred this way for millions of years every single 100,000 years.but
but the "THEY" are saying it exactly backwards its not warming that WILL happen it is COOLING that IS happening and has been happening for thousands of years already.
Yes
We are being lied to abt the grand canyon
The Grand Canyon was never filled with water. It was formed by erosion of the Colorado River.
Bold of nasa to put both space stations in places that could be underwater eventually.
What
@@justinkuderer2251 that was the joke going over your head
It was intentional in order to give all those failed tests and missions a safe place to crash without incinerating a bunch of people.
No they won't. If you actually talk to proper scientists like I did via webcam back in college the people at the South Pole research facility said we a graph proving it too, the ice is getting thicker as time goes on. Antarctica is growing, by 2090 to 2110 they estimate it'll actually crash into Argentina, cutting off the South Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
Climate change is basically the Earth's position around the Sun and has been debunked many times, reason it appears hotter is because Jupiter and Saturn messed up its orbit pulling it further from the Sun making its elliptical orbit more dramatic, closer during summer further during winter *northern hemisphere* so Arctic is melting more, which is sending more water eventually to Antarctica to freeze at a more rapid pace therefore making it larger.
Was supposed to go there last year as was in Africa and was gonna take a ride to Antarctica via resupply ship from South Africa.
But in short no places like Florida won't go underwater that's not how the Earth works.
@@bjt81366 No it's because Florida is pretty flat and doesn't get many if any at all tornadoes least to my knowledge it doesn't. You need to launch from a safe place that's easy to resupply so gotta be near the sea for the import of resources, fuel etc and have enough flat space to build everything
I've been there when I was 6! Seen Kennedy Space Centre. It's massive! Gotta be guessing 1,000 acres in total gotta be around that. You couldn't build that in say New York state or Nebraska, Idaho etc, you just couldn't. Also parts of California are pretty suitable for space agencies also Texas could be or New Mexico as again wide open flat areas. But Florida was kinda the ideal location, plus the weather doesn't hurt either lol.
Does any of this take into account that water expands when frozen? I’m sure it does, but really the only ice that can be counted would have to be above sea level.
That's an oversimplification. A minor peak density occurs near and slightly below the freezing point, but water will expand beyond that point given enough temperature.
@@BG-bx4ey That and it's built up at the poles. A good example is a glass of water with enough ice in it to bring the water level to the rim. Then if the ice melts, the water level in the glass wont go down, but spill over.
@@SiriusSphynx you should actually perform that experiment and see what really happens. Spoiler alert. The water level won’t change.
It’s not likely to refreeze in this scenario
@@poopandfartjokes Exavtly, because the ice cube just displaces its own weight. If the ice cube melts it results in as much water than the ice displaced previously, meaning that the water level doesn`t change. All the ice above the water surface is already accounted for when it comes to the overall water level, because the weight of the ice above the water is still used to displace water under the surface.
Nice vid but you forgot to point out that due to all the cities and alike becoming flooded that the amount of pollution that would then enter the oceans would kill nearly every living thing in the sea. With the oceans becoming dead and stagnant this would seal the fate of humans and many other land living creatures.
:(((( yeah
You made that up.
As if the video wasn't bad enough! 🙄🙄🙄

@@MyHeart1955 edited it especially for you. Would hate you to lose any sleep.
Other than mapping sea levels on land, this video was simply a sci-fi 'what if?'. It doesn't take into consideration the factors that would have to be involved for the polar caps to completely melt: tectonic plate movement, oceanic current shift, volcanic activity, the earth's elliptical orbit around the sun (and it's eccentric rotational pattern), plus countless other variables. Humans have adapted for tens-of-thousands of years to global climate change. I think the most frightening thing related to this, to younger generations, is the thought of losing their wi-fi signal.
Thanks for explaining how things melt
But the return of real sailing ships would be dope
An ice age is when you have polar ice caps
Am I the only one who didn't know Antarctica has actual land under all that ice?
... possibly
You not alone. Never bothered to find out. Was just like ice.
Si
Yes.
The book "Fingerprints of the Gods" explains all of it.
I love all these intelligent and logical people chiming in with beautiful scientific facts that contradict parts of this video
They are all scientists in their mind
Since you're not a scientist how do you know this video is based on facts?
All science is theory based. Nothing is facts. If you come up with ur own science department with ur own theories, everything you say is fact and can’t be proven otherwise
I feel like they never mention evaporation. That plays a huge part
That like gravity isnt real
I've been hearing this for so long that I've quit believing this . And it's not going to stop until the ice age returns, like the video said that at one time, we had 35% ice coverage on this earth, and no man made pollution.
okay but imagine scuba diving above the empire state building that would probably be cool af
i...
Obviously that wouldnt even happen since nobody would be alive to scuba dive lol
That wouldn't happen because sea level rise would be about 500 feet and the ESB is 1200 feet tall.
What would happen if all the glaciers froze and increased in size?
You better start moving to the Equator. The Northern hemisphere will all be under ice.

To paraphrase Colonel Taylor: "You maniacs! You MELTED it! God damn you all to hell!"
It would probably make more engineering sense to build artificial aquifers and/or Aqua gasifiers coupled with storage facilities for the hydrogen gas. In this way the excess water can be controlled, and perhaps even the overall global ocean levels could even be reduced.
LOL that's a good one. Reducing the oceanic water level measurably would be so energy intensive as to make it an economic impossibility as well as impossible from an engineering perspective due to the scale required.
@@xenuno you're forgetting about the physics whereby If you convert water to gas or even ice, you can store it more efficiently and take up less space than water does.
My brain was thinking the exact same thing but I didn’t know how to word it. You nailed it. No it wouldn’t solve all the snow ball effect problems we would face but it’s a solid solution amongst many humans could achieve.
I think creating additional Great Lakes would do nothing to slow the melting glacier’s. The problem is too immense.

Well, they’ll be less land in some places, more land in others. You’ll be able to settle in Greenland or Antarctica. Temperatures in the middle of Asia and North America will definitely be much nicer and warmer with much milder winters, and longer growing seasons. It won’t really displease anybody in those regions.
What are you talking about? The people who you think won't be displeased by climate change, they will face many negative consequences due to the loss of sea ice and glaciers too. Here's just one example: anywhere where life is still somewhat habitable, they'll see huge amounts of migrating climate refugees. And wherever there's large concentrations of people, there's needs to be large amounts of resources, i.e. like food, freshwater and housing, but there won't be enough resources for everyone. There will be constant wars over whatever resources there are left, and every living creature will have to struggle for survival!
@@kryptonarie6367 like what? Nobody in the center of North America would be sad about a warmer winter or a longer growing season as I mentioned. Nothing wrong with that.

Stop talking foolish and educate yourself! Part of the reason for the catastrophic weather events we're seeing worldwide, are because the world's oceans are also becoming warmer and more acidic at an accelerated rate! Why, because people are too lazy and the fossil fuel industry too greedy to admit carbon and methane emissions from human activity are causing global warming!
Roughly half of the oxygen production on Earth comes from our oceans. The majority of this oxygen production is from oceanic phytoplankton, which forms the basis of the marine food chain and provides half the and ocean's oxygen and again the Earth's oxygen (while trees, shrubs, and grasses provide the other half)! Already, gradually warming ocean waters have killed off phytoplankton globally by a staggering 40 percent since 1950. Why has pyplankton declined some 40%, besides man-made chemicals and pollutants poisoning our oceans and destroying oceanic habitats, it's largely due to GLOBAL WARMING warming the oceans!!! As the climate warms, so does the oceans-bad news for phytoplankton, since warm waters contain less oxygen, and therefore less phytoplankton, than cooler waters.
What happens to humans and animals when there aren't enough trees from global over deforestation and oceans are too warm and inhospitable for plankton to survive? What, everyone in 30, 50 or 100 years from now, they just all die a slow suffocating death as atmospheric oxygen depletes, because today apathetic people like you say global warming isn't real nor a threat!?!
But why is the narrator so happy and elated about all the catastrophes?? 😅 His voice is so peppy! Lol
Why does the narrator sound happy about the doom and gloom he's predicting?
Right, my thoughts exactly! Lol 😆🤣
You would know, Bruce.
Fun fact if the northern ice sheets melted completely in the summer the weather predicted 10 C levels would rise not 1 inch because this is water this is frozen water on water you can test this fill glass with ice cubes and water and then just leave it be the glass will not overflow the same thing would happen with the oceans The south pole however Antarctica that’s a different thing
I see where you are going but is that accurate? I'm only inquiring because some of that ice sheet covers Alaska Canada and Russia and I'm pretty sure that would have some impact wouldn't it?
The video is referring to the ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica. Those would have devastating impacts as far as coastal flooding goes
@@uploadstuff1762 The ice sheets of Antarctica expand that continent by about three times most of that ice Is over water fun fact
Oh yea I was trying to reply to.milus scrugggs
Then why are ocean levels rising already? Don't try to tell me about rock slides. That denier theory has already been debunked. Also those glaciers are sticking hundreds of feet into the air. They are not underwater. Try again.
Sorry to break the news . When glaciers melt , water level is not going to rise 200 feet. Theres still too many land mass to cover. Water will be covering more dry land.
We were told at school in the early 80 `s that London would be under water by 2000.
When you have half a glass of water with an ice cube in...is it still half full? Of course it is.....
If the ice were floating, as all Arctic ice is, it would already be moving the same volume as the water created when it melts. This is a direct result of the fact that it floats. If the ice was on land, when it melts it will no longer stay on land and will flow downward, usually eventually to the sea. This includes all the glaciers and about half of the Antarctic.
Facts
If this happened where I live the state would start trying to charge increased rates for the new beach front property and over charging for water

I love the cover picture with the just part of the arm and torch above water. The height of the base, 151 ft, and statue, 154 ft, adds up to 305 ft. Add another 10 feet of the island being above sea level and that puts the top of the torch at 315 feet. The video states if all the ice in Greenland and Antarctica melts sea level will rise 65 meters which is 213 feet. If that’s the case, (there are lots of conditionals in the video to get there) there will still be 90 feet of the Statue of Liberty out of the water. I’m thinking sea level would be waist high and the authors of this video didn’t do the math. Maybe they can’t do math. Makes you wonder “if” the more difficult math behind sea level rise might have a few issues too.
I live at a place that's 1500 foot above sea level so all it would do is bring fishing closer to me!!!
I really don't think the illustration is meant to reflect actual predictions or numbers. The authors didn't draw the illustration & Im sure they didn't tell the illustrator " gimme a depiction of the statue of Liberty

Interesting, I came from West Africa some areas are restricted to build but people are doing their houses and no surprise the experts already told them not to build in those area close to Atlantic ocean. In the not to distant future, they will be underwater in few years.
Jake Gyllenhall and Dennis Quaid survived something like this. And it all happened over a couple of hours
Mr Wizzard debunked this back in the 80's. Fill a bowl with ice and water all the way to the brim, with ice sticking out of the top. As the ice melts, it will NOT overflow the bowl! The heat energy it takes to melt the ice causes sublimation of the ice while melting the rest. Ice takes up more mass than liquid water, and after the ice melts, it Does Not add to the water level.
Well 20000 years ago when almost all of the glaciers melted the Ocean levels dropped 400 feet! And when the glaciers grew so much during the Maunder Minimum the ocean levels rose 25 feet!

Major problem with that claim of all glaciers melting - science and actual measurements show that the more CO2 in the atmosphere, the colder Antarctica gets. The atmosphere above Antarctica has thermal profiles radically different from the rest of the planet, and that causes additional infrared to be emitted to space with increasing CO2.

We’re still in an ice age. If one or more permanent bodies of ice are present, we’re in an ice age. People see these slight warming events in the context of human life. Hundreds of years instead of the more accurate, realistic thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands and millions of years. Milankovic cycles play a huge part in warming and cooling. The obliquity, eccentricities, etc, all play a massive role. None of the scaremongers mention these things though.
Paul I thank you for your statement
Many people used to debate whether the future would be more like Star Wars or Star Trek but in reality it’s more like Soylent Green, Logan’s Run and Robocop but life goes on
Did anyone factor in that even though all the freshwater glaciers (if this ever did occur) melted, if the seas rise and the water dilutes the salt water... The salt flats, red sea, great salt lake, etc would infuse all the extra salt back into the oceans and help boost the salinity back up...
No. That breaks the narrative, just like desertification being strongly tied to how big glaciers are.

You are forgetting that the weight of the polar ice and snow, and glaciers wherever they are is very heavy, and compresses the land under it. If you melt all of the snow and ice the water will run off, removing all of that weight from the land. This will enable the land to rise to it's true levels. Yes, liw land areas may be underwater, but there would still be plenty of above sea level land.
Interesting. Thanks for posting this video.

Yes there are mountains that would be above any rising sea level, but if you look at the coastal towns in Japan and the number of people living there, you only need to look at the devastation from the 2011 Tsunami to see the extent of damage.
What you left out is prolly the most important thing that would happen if all the ice melt the methanehydrate at the bottom of the ocean would melt aswell causing the planet to heat at a much more rapid pace than this predicts
the only glaciers that would change the water levels are landlocked glaciers. glaciers that are already in the ocean will not rise the ocean levels. I don't think people realize the logic behind this so I'll give an explanation. if you have a cup of water and ice, the ice will eventually melt. but the water level stays the same. this is due to Archimedes principle.
A voice of sanity crying in the wilderness!
antartica is a continent covered in a thick sheet of ice
Thats what blows my mind about some of us as human, there aren’t many things every.. single.. person of the human species should agree on (regardless of race, gender, religion, etc) EVERYONE should be cognizant of this planets health and work to preserve it. We only get 1 planet earth, if we F this up (like many things we’ve done already) then thats it. Everyone is screwed lol.
One thing for sure 😃 we can continue to get tattoos and eat all the buffalo wild wings with unlimited onion rings
Fyi we are coming out of a ice age.. humans have almost zero impact on thr temperature change its all liberal BS it's about $$$ . My aunt and uncle are one top geologists its all BS
@@beararmshunt7498 idk if you are trying to draw conclusions as to my political disposition, I would hope not because you would effectively out your self as an idiot seeing as I’m not even a libertarian lol. I judge my perceptions based on the science/data analysis that has been conducted.
I just don’t understand how only in this scenario does ice melting go against physics and make more water when in any other case water expands as it freezes. Also if one of the last remnants of the ice age, permafrost on the sea floor, is being melted away then wouldn’t the lowering sea floor kind of counteract sea levels rising. Also if every glacier was getting enough heat to begin to melt I think we’d have bigger problems than rising sea levels like the earth moving closer to the sun
Everyone conveniently leaves out how ice expands. They also say that all of the floating icebergs only have 10% or less above water so I feel like if anything the water levels may go down.
How does this scenario imply that water is being made exactly?!?!?!?!
While if we ever leave our current Ice Age, (we have permanent ice at the poles, so we are in an ice age now), the ocean levels WILL rise. Not much dispute over that. the question is how much?
The ice sheets are above sea level. If you have a glass filled to the rim with water and then let an ice cube melt onto this full glass? The melting ice will then cause the water to spill over. The submarine permafrost is located mostly around the poles. No one knows how much is trapped in ice but estimates are around 750,000 to 800,000 square miles. That is nothing compared to how much water the ice sheets hold. In addition, if the permafrost melt - it will greatly increase greenhouse gasses.
From about 3,000 years ago to about 100 years ago, sea levels naturally rose and declined slightly, with little change in the overall trend. Over the past 100 years, global temperatures have risen about 1 degree C (1.8 degrees F), with sea level response to that warming totaling about 160 to 210 mm (with about half of that amount occurring since 1993), or about 6 to 8 inches. And the current rate of sea-level rise is unprecedented over the past several millennia.
shhh, science kills this video.. you're ruining their "Show"
Also, the narrator’s enthusiastic delivery is incongruous to the dystopia he’s describing. “If you were in a spaceship, you’d see the dramatic changes to the continents. Of course, no one will see it! Because you, everyone you know, and every other human will have died from hunger and disease! Yes, the Earth will have finally succeeded in shaking off the annoyance that was the human species. Isn’t that exciting!”
So, all we have to do to get rid of florida is melt all the glaciers? Let me go get my hairdryer. 😂
Strange with all the melting ice, the Maldives are still exactly the same. You would have thought with all that rising water, such low lying islands would have disapeared by now.
Pangaea ultimate super continent
The Marshall islands are slowly emerging underwater...they moving to California and Oregon
Exactly the same
@@gram01 that is not caused by rising sea levels but the movement of the tectonic plates.
Fun fact if you put ice cubes in a full cup of water, what happens when the ice melt? Does it spill out of the cup or does it just melt and not spill over?
Ice cube is water but in solid form, which “takes up space” in a glass cup. Putting ice in a glass with it already full of water will overflow because of the additional space they take up. Placing ice cubes in a cup prior to adding water to it won’t make it overflow because the amount of space the cubes take up in the cup have already been accounted for.
Fun fact: water temperature cools quicker when pouring water in a cup full of ice vs putting ice in a glass full of water.
Bingo. Most people do not know that for many years scientists included the Arctic ice until some kid pointed that out.
Was the cup fulll of water before or after you put the ice in it?
The problem is that the ice in glaciers isn’t already in the water. Glaciers are above the water on land so in your example you would have to imagine the ice as being out of the glass completely but have the melt water run into the glass and that would indeed raise the water level and probably flood the glass.
@@neilclarkwork I wasn't the person that stated the glass was full of water before putting the ice in it. I am the person that asked if the glass was full before the ice was put into it.
Imagine how this would affect the small countries in the Caribbean
In 2019, there was more arctic ice and antarctic glacier ice than ever recorded prior. 😂
One question, why have I found fossils of sea shells in mountains 4,000 ft. above sea level and in parts of the world there are structures over 100 ft. below sea level. I think there are things things like large meteor impacts that have shifted our poles and maybe even shifted our orbit. I personally love reading about what they are finding in core samples under Antartica
The earth was all under water at one time. God flooded it, it wasn’t an accident of nature
What is a mountain range today, might've been the sea floor 10s or 100s of thousand years ago
If all glaciers melt, sea level.would increase ...like 3 inches, this "theory" shows that people don't understand what sea level is, besides they say that half of glaciers already melted, so sea level should have increased by half of what they say it will rise, and icebergs are in their mayority already under water, and ice has more volume than water
What about evaporation did you take that into account in your opinion!!

half the glaciers have melted.... slowly within the last 11,000 years, look up what the land masses looked like 11,000 years ago... huge difference
and antarctic is a gigantic land mass with ice on TOP of it.... not in WATER... what happens when ice melts on your roof..???
This is what I’m saying, when I have water and ice in my cup, when the ice melts the water doesn’t over flow over the sides because the amount of volume from the extra water that comes from the ice cubes when it melts will be equal to the total amount of volume previously displaced by the cube. Furthermore, the glaciers which are just basically giant floating ice cubes have already caused water displacement similar to the cubes in the cup so the water on earth isn’t going to suddenly flood over like in the cup. Anyways that’s my theory and I hope I’m right. Many places on earth are in severe droughts currently so maybe a reset and increase in water levels is needed in the long run, as bad as it may sound.
What would happen is, we would have to deal with it just like all the other catastrophise that have come along.
Or the rapid change in atmospheric pressure could cause yellow stone to blow and send us into another iceage.
Watching this as we, in the UK go through a heatwave and temps we’ve never seen before. Like, EVER. 36c today and forecast 43c tomorrow here In England. Wild fires, birds literally dropping from the sky, school closures as well as huge train and bus delays and 7 cars a second on average breaking down every second from this heat. Our roads, all buildings and vehicles weren’t made for this weather and literally MELTING. My own paddling pool melted just from the temps/sun/virtually no wind at all today. Never ever seen anything like this.
Europe is also just burning.
Horrific!!!
buy a ac unit silly
It's unusual reading something like this and thinking how different we climatize in different countries, I live in Australia and I use to work as a concreter, I remember we had 2 week's of 40+ degree heat (Celsius) and worked straight through it with no day's off we done 15 day's straight of work pouring house slabs.
Best weather we’ve had in years
@@acerevival33 We aren’t America. Air conditioner aren’t “normal” here. The only place that has air cons are some cars and mostly supermarkets. I’m not sure why people think we even need them. Our temps are never usually this high.
@@DeaGFX That’s normal for Australia but not here in the UK. You’d probably find it freezing here in the summer. We are lucky usually to get in the mid 20’s here most places. Nothing is built for the heat we’ve had and its meant to be coming back in a week.
This isn’t normal for us.
And no matter how “nice” people are saying the heatwave is, if this is now the new norm, we will have to rebuild absolutely everything to accommodate these temps. Including all homes. I guess we will just have to wait and see.
Human beings look forward to over population without knowing of the consequences this brings.. Mother nature will always take care of herself,which will result in natural disasters and epidemics in an attempt to stabilise all her elements.
I wonder if we could combat the glacier loss by setting up pumps and pipelines to add ice to glaciers by spraying water from artic sea on top of them to freeze. We could adapt the equipment ski resorts use to create man made snow for the ski runs.
Are you trying to be funny?
@@williamwilson6499 no, ski resorts do something like that to make artificial snow when nature isn’t getting it done. Maybe we could use the concept to combate glacier melt.
Under the sea under the sea darling it’s better down where it’s wetter take it from me 😂😂😂😂😂
"The caspian sea will become a Real SEA" lol. that was good one.
When all the Ice melts we are gonna start to see strangers we've never seen before!
Good thing they're growing and not melting eve. Though we've only really started measuring for 100 years it's safe yl say they are growing
Wow I'm enjoying this video lesson...
Think about it if you fill ice all the way to the top and fill water in all the way to the top let it sit and let the ice melt it stays the same it didn’t overflow
The Bible says the Lord put the boundaries where they are and they will not move on any ones command except his own
😂 Imaginary friends are of no consequence.
Would you like to put that to the test? Cause if you do, it would already be too late
Sweet! Can't wait
Imagine drying around in the city in jet skis on the streets and boats 😂🔥
What would happen if the world froze over night? Snowball earth. It has happened before!
Actually, history has five or six global freezings over the last 7000 years. Killed up to 25% of the global population each time.
The new " water world " Kevin would probably be happy to play his role in another water world movie
How much water is displaced by ice right now? How much melt water results from melted ice and how much volume is that compared to the volume of it when frozen?
My Aries rising listened to this at 1.5 speed and understood every word lol
It's not fair to say that glacier "store" 75% of the Earth's water because over time glaciers slide off toward the weakest point and usually find themselves in an ice flow to breakoff and become an ice berg until it melts away
So for example, how much water have you consumed from Antarctica?? The answer is "None". The Largest source of fresh water is not available to us.
But also the point should be made that Antarctica is so cold that it freezes the air into the glacier that we all know and love. Antarctica is a desert and rarely ever rains or snows, but does freeze the air.
By the way, this IS the last Glacier age as we still are covered by 10% Glaciers!!!
Long before the Glaciers melted over night, we would be burned up by the sun, It's best not to fear something that you have absolutely no control of, yet will probably never happen.
Climate change can melt those Glaciers in 20-50 years tho so it’s not Impossible
@@syco_hundreds2661 Based on what?
I mean honestly if you think about water displacement the mass from the ice is already in the water causing the sea level to be what it is. The ice melting isn’t going to make the ocean overflow it’s literally going to stay the same because the ice is already displacing the water.
like putting a bunch of ice in your chic fil a drink then removing the ice signifigantly decreases your perception on how much drink u thought u had
@@devinstallworth1558 exactly 🤣
Don't post the truth on TH-cam. It could get you banned (Oh God)!
@@robweaver1923 there’s men in black suits waiting outside my house as we speak :o
Ah, yes - the old ice cube in the glass myth. I love that one! It's simple, easy to imagine . . . and dead wrong.
It starts off with the false assumption that all the ice in the world is somehow *already* floating out in the oceans or in the oceans in some way.
It isn't. All that water locked up in glacial ice is on land - and *not* already floating on the oceans.
Imagine you have a glass of water. Now, drop an ice cube into it - or melt it and pour the water in. Does the level of the water go up? Hell, yes.
A positive is that trade routes for cargo ships will become so much more efficient resulting in helping to reduce emissions.
Thank you for sharing. 😁I learned a lot. #ice
I’ve live through the global cooling theory, the acid rain scare, and the ozone depletion scare. Save it.
Eventually everything must come to an end
Definitely 👍🏽
If you melt ice cubes in a glass of water, you will notice that the volume of water stays the same. 😂
Oh i was so proud of that I can hear almost the video without subtitle 😂
One of the last remnants of the ice age is the melting of permafrost on the sea floor. As this permafrost melts won't the sea floor lower and counteract sea rise?
That will release methane..more dangerous than C02 and is happening in the north on land.
No
@@russcooke5671 why?
No. Much worse, melting of the permafrost will almost certainly cause the vast amounts of methane trapped on the ocean floor to shift. This would be a whole different level of BAD.
@@asherdog9248 if you put ice in a glass of water and let the ice melt does the level of the water lower? Do you think that if that permafrost melts that it just disappears? You'll still have the same amount of material whether it's frozen or melts. The only reason there would be a shift in height would be if there's gases trapped that are released. The reason icebergs melting causes a rise in sea level is due to the ice sitting above the surface. All water frozen above the surface will now mix with the rest raising the height. If something is frozen on the seafloor it's already fully contributing to the height of the body of water.
Sadly if does ancient glaciers melt, they'll will release all of the methane, carbon and other gases onto the air:/
But, by that time, all that methane won’t matter!
Last time there was no ice on Antartica was the Eocene Epoch. According to Google's Bard AI, Africa was "teeming with life". Why do you say Africa would be devoid of life under a repeat of the Eocene climate?
Bard says:
"During the Eocene Epoch, roughly 56 to 34 million years ago, Africa was teeming with life! The warmer and wetter climate, with vast rainforests and diverse ecosystems, supported a rich array of flora and fauna unlike anything seen on the continent today."
I love how people do science these days.
Water has an incredible weight all in all. Not only the shaping and drifting of continents rely on tectonics, but it is shaped by the weight of water. As we have seen recently, the weight of water might flatten strong (or not so relatively) materials into pankakes. What does it do with actual "liquid rock" ? The formation of the Caucasus, and the Himalaias, is "explained" by continental drift due to tectonics, but in a huge part, these are moved by the weight of water.
What am I getting at ? Melting ice will not change "only" the oceanic level, but "serious research" has shown that the NATURAL last global warming also driven changes on the landscape itself, creating mountains or sinking lands which were actually very differently situated in the World. One example is the study on the heights of several points of the globe, which demonstrates that most of the landscape of central asia was formed due to the weight of the pacific ocean being very different from any other, being very massive, concentrated and "radial". That difference is also responsible for Indian subcontinent relative different formation than what simple tectonics would suggest, and a small "ocean" sorrounds it, right besides the massive pacific.
So yeah, while it is much more "problematic" to have more water by the sea level, it is very much more problematic the weight of water, which might also trigger sismic events due to the massive pressure of much "heavier" pacific ocean even heavier, pressing magma flow to increase pressure elsewhere.
We might not endure it until the whole "damage" is done, and such sismic events might even make warming much faster than we ever could.
