Sea level rise is so much more than melting ice

- While researching climate change, we heard something confusing: the sea level in New York City is rising about one and a half times faster than the global average. We couldn’t figure out what that meant. Isn’t the sea level...flat? So we called up an expert, Dr. Andrea Dutton, and went down the rabbit hole. And, we did our best to visualize her truly bizarre answers with animations, dioramas, and a lot of melting ice.

"humans didn't cause this, its a 100,000 year process."
be more careful, this is exactly the kind of statement that get's misinterpreted.
Well, that's still true, we didn't cause the warming in the first place, but we are surely accelerating it and making it worse !
Yet it's true, and you know it. He's shown scientifically how sea levels can rise with or without humans. Don't let your bias cloud which scientific facts you decide to accept or reject.
@@chepaco3290 it's the rate that's the problem
Global warming is accelerating. It wasn't caused by humans but it's being accelerated because of us.
Even if the Earth was heating naturally (which it is), and humans had nothing to do with it (we are certainly accelerating it), what are we supposed to do about it? I agree that we should do whatever we can to reduce our impact on the environment, but I wonder if humans should go a step further and attempt to resist climate change entirely? Is it even possible?
Maybe the land is sinking with all those heavy buildings.
Maybe it's erosion.
Maybe it's Maybelline.
Doom And Gloom wtf, land is mighter than heavy building, l. Heavy building has nothing to do with the land.
Doom And Gloom how does a building affect weight on earth, wasn’t the resources used in that building found in the Earth?
@@fencingvhgusbd If you concentrate a large amount of mass on a smaller spot, you will sink.
The constant movement of the water table and effects of rain make the buildings on the land sink.
Just like standing on mud.
You could take erosion into account, just like standing in the wet sand at the beach.
@@berreyl1689 yeah, explain how we replenish all waters we have taken
Sea level is lowering in Sweden, maybe land rising.
If it gets warmer 1/2 of the people in the north won't go south every winter. They will use less CO2, which will make it colder, and then they will go south again. If we pay a carbon tax to stop the carbon cycle maybe this cycle will stop.
Something like that.

Add three more:
1/ Tidal forces from the moon
2/ Barometric pressures
3/ Water stacking based on wind
True, but these are more temporary (hours/days/weeks) than what was discussed in this video, which explais sea level rise in the long-term (decades to centuries).

I'm not going to lie, this video told me a lot of things I didn't know about rising sea level! This was very informative, unlike some videos that reuse common knowledge. Keep up the good work!
Well, to be fair, it IS all common knowledge, only not many people understand the connections. And others simply don't want to, because it would destroy their illusions. I expect to see more of these, as long as science remains non-heretical.

I'll consider worrying when Al Gore sells his $8.9 million dollar beachfront mansion in Montecito, California.
I'm confused, what does Al Gore have to do with climate change? Al Gore is neither a climate scientist, nor does his preferences in property purchases have anything to do with climate change. Al Gore will be dead before rising sea level has much effect on his coastal property, in the meantime he likely wants to spend his final years sitting on the beach.
Show me any sea level chart that has any rate change over the long term. They said it in the video. All stations are moving with tectonic action over long term not warming. If co2 was warming up planet and ocean it would rate change. They are not if you look at individual stations.
@@phugwad Al Gore was the man who pushed for global warming, making statements like no more ice sheets before 2010 and that your children will not know what snow is, because it will be so warm.

Maybe he just has the money to throw around?
Wow! Sea level rise is a lot more interesting than I first thought - thanks for the video! :)
Definitely! This was fascinating to learn about - geological time scales (like with the New York part of the video) are always just pretty mind blowing to think about too! What's your favourite type of science?

In other news, Obama just bought a beach house in Martha's Vineyard. He's apparently unconcerned.
yes, how about that. My question is: The Obama's came to the White House with less that 1 million in the bank. Now he's buying a 14 Million $$ mansion beachfront property--WOW-- Where did he get the money? Oh they say "book deal" WRONG.

@@evallian Royalties from his books.
Because the banks would loan money to people knowing they will not get a return on said loan. And shouldn't the coastline be gone by now?
I don’t give a living fuck about Obama, it dosen’t make science more or less true.
The fact that Obama isn't concerned doesn't change the facts of climate change.
look up old pictures of sea side attractions from around the world and compare them to today!! sea levels apart from coastal erosion hasn't changed!
Average is a word.
Our livespans is so short compared to earthly changes that we think everythig is static
More interesting to me is that we have to keep rediscovering everything about every thirty years or so, even though we have books stretching back millennia. One of those books said it would all get hot & muggy, and the oceans would rise, and the winds would blow, and the earth would shake, then it would all end in a lake of fire. Most fascinating is that now that it's actually happening, we believe it less than ever. I can only ASSUME that's because we don't want to accept the blame.
I really hate that some Americans believe this is a partisan issue. The school system really needs a major overhaul cause it's failed so many people.
I think it's preposterous that some people believe that climate change is not normal. The climate isn't supposed to stay the same all the time.
@@alexocasio-gomez5267 Chimay change is natural yes, however us humans have sped up the rate at which it occurs.
If climate change is normal then it's not bad. Humans didn't make the climate change and we can't make it stay the same.
Erika Erikson death is also normal yet humans still use medicine to live longer. In the case of climate change, humans are accelerating the process and we can slow it down if we really try using technology
Well it kind of is. Climate change is obviously real. I mean we live on islands floating on an asymmetrical condensed ball of lava flying around a way bigger ball of plasma having a constant chain reaction creating absurd amounts of heat and light in an elliptical orbit. Yes there is very obviously going to be common and drastic changes to climate in the large scale of things. However, what is partisan about it is who or what's fault current changes are and what we should do about it.
Great video. I'm glad to finally see someone talk about natural subsidence.

@@xitzlucky7x In simple science when ice melts in water, the level does not rise.
Every little helps I guess, but its mainly due to all the rivers emptying themselves into the sea. Its amazing that there is any low-lying land left.
Des Kavanagh actually the earth has a self filtering system that involves mountains and elevation and even the axis itself and the shift of the tilt in our axis making the effect we see involving the water levels rising and falling... we get fresh water again from these rise and falls as well as every other factor I just mentioned.
Mr PumperKnuckles I live in San Francisco, and we haven’t seen one iota of sea level rise in the 50+ years that I have been here in the Bay Area. So it’s all bologna! Proof that the sea should rise the same everywhere, is that when a tsunami hits, the level of water out in the ocean is the same. The only way it changes in height, is by the amount of water being funneled into a bay or cove is of such a massive amount with a lot of power behind it to push it up the walls of a cove. But when there is no massive amount of water, with no power behind it, and only a minimal amount, then the rise of the sea level will not affect coasts much. Dare I say, imperceptibly. Think about trying to measure something that has so many variables to it like the oceans. It’s impossible to say, that they can measure a millimeter of sea level change and attribute it to manmade climate change. So just look with common sense and it’s easy to see that this is a more nefarious plot to force socialism on the free world. Proof: look at Greta, et al. Do they ever condemn China or India? Is she going there? Nope! Does she even condemn them from afar? Nope! You gotta ask yourself: Why is that? The answer is obvious.
Learn to swim? Would it help if all New Yorkers jumped in the ocean thereby relieving downward pressure?
If they all jumped in the ocean, water would overflow into Manhattan like getting into a full bathtub. ;-)

It kills me that global warming is still a subject of political debate in US, when in every other countries it's been an undoubtable scientific fact for decades...
김원진 when New York decides to submerge under water alongside their trade centre and stock exchange markets and their banks then they start to worry about it they are ignorant
To be fair, it's not all Americans. It's mostly Trump supporters and the far-right who think global warming is a myth. It's just the rest of the planet and the other half of America who listen to scientists.
cypher elite you mean like Al Gore said was supposed to happen a decade ago? Yeah. Hold your breath.

John Edwards Cooling or Heating.. It’s climate change
Volcanoes and natural processes put out magnetudes more CO2 than Humans do. Milankovitch cycles account for a lot more global temperature change Than human activity.
Of COURSE the climate changes. It always has and will regardless of human activity. The question is: how much should humans spend and sacrifice in order to effect a fraction of a percent of the overall change? Perhaps we are better off spending to adapt to the inevitable change.

@@DanksterPaws It's funny how you keep changing the name depending on the outcome of past predictions. I now predict Al Gore is swimming in money.
Have you factored in subsidence? The New Jersey shore right through Long Island has been sinking for years, accounting for about 1/3 of the apparent "rise" of the ocean.
Could watch the vid
Because most of the beaches in NJ should never have been where they are in the first place. In the 90's they spent YEARS dredging up the sand and expanding the beaches. If those beaches get pulled back into the sea don't give me any rising sea level BS as an excuse. Sandy Hook at one point in the 70's was about to be an Island but they really built up the sand between parking lot B and C, that strip of land was rapidly declining until they expanded it. If it returns to how it naturally was you can't blame global warming/sea levels for it.
Satellite images of the world's mudflats show they are disappearing along with the creatures adapted to
the mudflats. If you read historical accounts about oysters, clams, and crabs they were more plentiful
in the recent past. Subsidence cannot account for the rapidity of the loss.
Literally 1/3 of the video is about the subsidence of land around New York. Did you even bother watching the video?
@@franklinrussell4750 Oysters, clams, and crabs were being over-caught for a long time while mud flats were being dredged away to ease entry into ports. Remediation campaigns have restored a lot of them.
I'm sorry, I'm still not over the ocean not being flat.
@@gucci5320 that would just be from the curvature of the earth. Not the "hills and valleys" that they mentioned in this video.
It might help to think about how the mass of the moon affects the oceans in the form of tides. You can actually see the water pulling away and coming back on shore by the force of gravity. The moon's surface area is about 14.6 million square miles, which is less than the total surface area of the continent of Asia (17.2 million square miles). The Earth weighs 81 times more than the moon and the moon's gravitational force is only about 16.6 percent of Earth's gravity.

FYI, land masses can sink and rise. If NY is sinking and that is not factored in, it looks like the ocean is rising that much faster.

Haha exactly right. The alarmists lose their collective minds when the it's pointed out that the sea level hasn't moved even 1cm in Sydney Harbour in 100 years 😂😂😂
I didn't hear anything about the massive amounts of sand being taken from the oceans for construction. Dig a bit deeper on that. Pun intended.
We might change ocean surface topography. Not by much probably.
Are you implying that is the cause of sea level rise? Makes you sound like an inbred. It's people like you that lower the avg IQ of US
@@samuraijack1371 Why don't you try to think for yourself. Maybe turn the tv off, and read a scientific journal with an opposing view. Stop worrying about others IQ POINTS, because its a loosing proposition for you.
@@johna7450 thats the issue bud. No one likes to read opposite viewpoints. I read a book once and watched a video where a guy recreated the entire antartica and ice layers with ice cubes. He melted the entire thing and the water did not rise. He concluded that the reason the level of the ocean is rising is because in other places its declining. For example its estimated that an entire piece of land will appear near rio. But if you tell this to someone, they will automatically assume ur crazy and wont do research (im not saying that the ice cube method is a fact, like the heating globe, its a model, a different outlook on things). Science went from people seeing something and creating models to answer what they saw, and then others questioning the model, to automatically assuming science is always right (any scientist will tell you that thats no the case)
Also when talking about climate change everyone blames ordinary people and forgets that a private jet emits about 800 galons per mile. So before trying to cut our things, we should first limit celebrities, governments, etc. And no one talks about places that are cooling down, and the shifting poles 🤷
Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say.

Great subject, science and explanation! Thanks!
I'm studying Biology and I'm currently doing the course Marine Sciences. Thanks for making this video, cause it really helped me understand!
The even scarier component: The gulf stream is bringing a lot of the natural warmth to the northern Atlantic, where it influences the mild weather patterns that are then transported to Europe by the atmospherical jetstream. In the past when ice ages hit Europe, a slowing of the gulf stream was one of the most likely reasons.
and it's even more scarier. the melting ice will reveals some dark sand or dark particle inside that ice. and it will make things more worse because dark colour absorbs heat more than the light color.
and those dark sand or particles are also come from the ocean waves. if the sea rising, that means those dark particle can also reach more further.
Soo this is like.. we can't go back when the ice melts.
Soo i kinda pessimistic about this man-made global warming. With all this condition, seems like we not gonna make it better :"(
Unless if we, human, work together as a one community to change the climate change. The key is.. reduce the global human population growth rate. especially for India and some countries in Africa.
80% of co2 come from...
@Kay Kay yeah interglacial period is natural thing. BUT THE CURRENT CONDITION IS A PURE MAN-MADE GLOBAL WARMING.
Yeah we can only slow it down. That's what we want to do for now!
and btw, we can make it stable tho. with the population control and less consumption. the warming and the cooling climate is happening because there are no population control back then and until now.
some animals or plants are thriving too much.
example, back in the past, some ancient plants are abundant because there are less predator. it makes the increase of oxygen in the atmosphere and the decrease of carbondioxide in the atmosphere because plants absorbs them. and this causes the global cooling era.
and because there are more oxygen than the carbondioxide, many of those plants are dying slowly. and those ancient dead forest become the carbon storage. and after millions of year, it turn into coal deposit. and now we digging it. it releases the carbon into the atmosphere again. it will make the earth become the earth in the ancient times if we overexploit the nature and keep breeding like crazy.
the point is, if we can control the population and keep the earth's condition stable, we can stop the global warming and global cooling. not only slow it down.
srry if my english bad
But if the Ice Age starts, ice is formed and the process is reversed.
We should get rid of the Gulf Stream then

ay. its a bit like oceans rising and lands sinking. Identically opposite. hm..

@@CanIHasThisName good thing no one is doing that here. Facts need to be clearly stated and emphasized, not left in ambiguity. This minimizes wasted resources and harm caused by misinformation.
Melting *sea* ice cannot cause sea levels to rise. Melting land ice however can.
Yes. But water expands when it is heated. The more water, the more expansion. Arguing that melting ice does not cause sea levels to rise is a short sighted argument
@@nickbrekalo8744
Actually if you read my comment carefully you'll see that wasn't my argument. You are correct in saying that the water will expand when heated though, but I think that the expansion due to heating is likely to be negligible as when heated from room temperature to boiling point it only expands by about 4% and projected temperature increases in the ocean are drastically smaller than that difference.
My point was that the main contribution to any sea level rise is going to come from melting land ice; which we see in the northern hemisphere in places like Greenland. I wasn't saying that melting ice won't contribute at all.
Craziness! Thanks for the explanation!
Quality content! love it :)

No, land sinks land rises. There is a lot going on underneath.
Coastal areas are known to compact over time, producing an effect that those who don't know better may see as a rise in sea level.
Air has this ability to hold more moisture as it's temperature increases. The sea level rise models have never taken this fact into account, at least not all that goes into the equations neccessary to make accurate forecasts.
Absolutely true but this also makes hurricanes more common and stronger.

Slowing of the current would actually make local climate colder instead.
Nice work, Team Verge! I like how you explain the sea level rise, New York sinking scenario with simple objects.
So is New York City facing being flooded? I remember an article in Discover magazine about hypothetically building a keep-the-ocean-out wall around the entire city! That would be a massive project.
Sea levels in New York have been rising at a rate of just over 1" per decade since the mid 1800s. James Hansen, head of NASA at the time, said in 1989 that a nearby highway on Manhattan Island would be underwater within 30 years due to global warming. That would require about 8-10' of sea level rise. Thirty years after his prediction sea level at New York has risen a little over 3". Hansen's prediction was incredibly wrong. Since then the journalist of the prediction (Salon magazine writer) has quibbled and said that Hansen included some caveats that the journalist did not include in the article. Must have been some HUGE caveats. LOL
Man you gotta explain to me how sea level has risen in New York 1 inch per decade since 1800 but has not risen but maybe a couple of centimeters everywhere else????? Makes me think some folks is stoopid.....
Great job!
5:11 you heard it here first folks
people take a glass with water and ice in it. let the ice melt. the level of water stays the same
Most of the ice is on land. Take a sink full of water, and push a mass of ice from the counter into it; the water level will rise.
Are you a bear? 🐻
@@JacksonHinton you know it 🐻
@@jeffgray4075 so if its on land htf is it getting in the ocean to that level
@@onebluntman10, by melting, because the temperature is rising.
Loved yr video! Thnk u!
The ice floats on the water because it is less dense. So when a 1 cubic meter ice sheet melts in the ocean the melted water takes less than 1 cubic meter. Therefore after the melt the overall water level is less. Again the water is denser therefore needs less space than ice.
I thought melting ice in a cup doesn’t increase the water level cause the volume is the same
Michael Choe that is true, at least to the naked eye. As the much larger ice caps melt, the gravitational pull they create will dissipate as well, causing the water pulled in around it to flood back out to sea.
There is a lot of bullshit science out there about global warming I would suggest watching some videos from Tony heller
But not all the ice is in the sea. The ice on lsand melting would be the biggest problem.
This is true for sea ice, but the ice in mountain glaciers, on Greenland, and Antarctica will raise sea level as they melt.
Actually there will be less water. Water expands when it freezes therefore making it less dense and allowing it to float. If it did not do this most organisms in the ocean would perish as it froze solid. Also if it wasn't for global warming New York City would still be under 1000 feet of glacial ice.

@Kay Kay liking it
None of this is news but I'm glad people are being reminded of the science involved in understanding sea level rise. Thanks for that.
they are however looking at limited number of variables - & only the one's that support additional rise. Some factors create equilibrium making some aspects less pronounced so this still isn't very thorough. Otherwise this is not something man could stop from occurring even at zero emissions.
Ok, this video really helped me understand this.
thank you for creating such awareness videos keep going!
This is interesting
Oceans are constantly rising since the end of Ice Age. They rise at ever decreasing rate. Now it is barely noticable. Expansion of water through the rise of temperature is a myth. Only the upper layer of the water is warming, maybe 10 feet or so. Not much rise such a thin layer can generate through expansion.
Where I live in southern Australia there are two small islands next to the headland. The island closest to the headland is called Middle Island and is a fairy penguin coloney. In 1974, at low tide, you could walk out to the island at low tide. In 2019, you can still walk out at low tide. The foxes do and so now there is a fence to stop them and guard dogs, made famous in the 2013 film, Odd Ball. No sea lea rise other than the tides.
Exactly.
Great work guys

I decided to go back in time to the last time ice covered much of North America and other parts of the world. WOW! Our climate is absolutely mild compared to what has occurred at various points in time over the last 15000 years. Just imagine the violent and dramatic change in climate in a very short time it took to wipe out the large animals (mammoths, saber toothed tigers, mastodons, and many others). I can only imagine the impact of oceans rising 400 feet and the wild temperature swings that led to the little ice age and medieval warm period in a short time span. The historic climate changes in Greenland and Iceland make for interesting read. One thing seems to be evident. People fared much better in warm climates than cold ones. Much more to learn.
When she said "As soon as YOU heat the planet" I knew objectivity was out the window, and it would be only an instant from her saying 'global warming' to 'man-made global warming.'
You said "people did not do this," then immediately added; what will happen if we keep adding CO2 which speeds up the process... 🤦
Ridiculous lefties can't think. Schools messed with their minds.
@@jeanburk9539
Righties cant read, or follow vids... duh!
@Harmen Greven
Not nearly as dim as you since I caught it. 🖕
CO2 rise has nothing to do with rising sea and watching vids proves nothing. Catch that
@@joeking1618 Then why are you here watching a vid talking about rising C02 ?
As always, great video!
outstanding, thank you!
The other effects that you forgot that are major influences are Gravitational effect of planets and moon, Procession of Equinoxes, Perihelian progression, Magentic field anomolies caused by solar winds. Polar and other meltwater cause a 1mm change per year, each of these cause several mm. up or down.
One of the best Verge Science videos so far!!! I would love to see one on the melting methane traps in the Siberian Arctic or even on the Bolivian salt flats
Erlend Bjorklund Methane traps?
Awesome video with awrsome concept and your channel is also great...... 👍👍👍👍
According to the media. Everywhere is warming twice as fast as everywhere else, so reports of rising water should also be subjected to increased scrutiny. Especially when tide gauges show no acceleration, but just the same rates of rise as in the early 1800's
5000 years ago the city of Ur was a port in the Euphrates Delta, a trading crossroads for land, sea and river transport. It is now located about 120 kms inland. Sharks still abound in the markets of nearby towns.
I believe we'll be dealing with massive ecological collapse before we can worry about sea level rise.
Brenden you are stupid
It will kill us in 10 years
Isn't it possible that the combined weight of buildings & people on essentially an island could be exerting downward force?
Bring in the scientific method and find our result!
That's also a factor.
I would love to see Lonnel Harris say, “If my babies’ momma sat on that sofa I would fly up and hit the ceiling”
Great video.
'Humans didnt cause this' should have been more specific to the land sinking, some people will go and regurgitate to others humans didnt cause this, when speaking about global warming and maybe come up with their own conclusio. and since your video is well reasearched it will just reasseart their ignorance about global warming, then the lie will become the truth. Nice video.😉
Didn't you hear, scientists are now saying humans didn't cause global warming. It's a naturally occurring event, the earth warms and cools naturally. The story now is humans are speeding up the warming process. Stop living in the past and catch up already.
@@artfuldodganz9037 Haha no they arent! I know some of them. Citation needed.
He's giving facts. he's not supporting either political belief.
Brilliant scientists are on both sides of the debate, and there is un-conclusive data supporting both beliefs.
Fact is, we just don't know. Anyone who tells you otherwise based on data from 2018 is not a scientist- they're a politician.
@@Ranstone That so highly incorrect, we know pretty much the mechanics that go into our climate and drivers of past climate events. We know for a fact the current driver is being accelerate dramatically by us. There are over 12k journals and that explain this topic. There isnt really a debate on rather it is occurring, there is also not a debate on the effects we will feel. The only debate is the severity and how soon, and they are even in agreement it will be bad.
Potholer54 is a great communicator himself. Goes over the information.
@@Ranstone The data isn't inconclusive at all. The vast majority of scientists agree that the climate changes we are facing right now are man-made and will have severe consequences. Those with money invested in fossil fuels will probably want to tell you the opposite.
C02 has very little warning effect on the atmosphere. H20 has a much larger effect on the earth's temperature.
also that big yellow thing that's up in the sky
I put a brick in my bath and one end went up while the other end went down - Remember Tuvalu the little Atol that was disappearing under the waves back in 2010 - The people were offered a whole lot of money to relocate them which somehow sped up the rising waters - funny though...it's still there and all looks ok now. Maybe the volcano beneath it is pushing it up but I don't think so.
And here we are 5 years later and still no rise.
