Great film, indeed. And I definitely don’t underestimate the climate change. But it would be fair to mention, that the Messner route was not climbable (because of poor ice conditions) already in December of 1990, when there was an attempt of famous Czech mountaineers Josef Rakoncaj and Miroslav Šmíd.
If someone gets on a plane and travels around the world but manages to inspire 5 others to live more eco-friendly lifestyles then that plane ride was worth it. Just something for the hypocrites in this comment section
The problem is there are millions just like him/her that have the same agenda. He just continues to use up all of the CO2 allowance of the 5 people that changed their lifestyles. And so on.
Well it depends. Yes every person who chooses to live a more climate friendly lifestyle is a step in the right direction, the most important thing we can do is to regulate big businesses and increase state spending on reducing emissions. The belief that we as the consumers are the big problem is sadly a big propaganda ploy by BP. One step into the right direction would be to ban private airplane flights for example
It's such a oxymoron. Everybody is concerned about the glacier. But still 50.000 people every year come to climb the mountain. And probably 99% are coming by plane and so on
They also said that if we didnt replace disposable paper products with recyclable plastic, the amazon forest will be gone by 2020. Now we have plastic trash everywhere and amazon still there
I notice that most comments point the finger at others. That's a big part of the reason we're in this terrible position, it's easy to see the mistakes others make, and very difficult to own up to our own personal mistakes and take action to correct them.
I’m from Minnesota and the people here depend on their cars. It makes me always wonder why they don’t put in a bullet trains that go up north to Lake Superior etc. Minnesota has a lot of old minded people. There thinking is still in the 1940s ( figure of speech)
a lot of people all over the world still behave like this they won't change their lifestyle until nature punishes them and they realize that they lost their jobs or houses

Change often comes from public pressure, which is increased through greater exposure by such films.

How did you get there. How did you get home. Your sponsor, don’t they race in F1, don’t they sponsor flying races. I feel guilty but not because some privileged guy tells me I should do.
If redbull give back to the environment, like plant as many trees that would take up the CO2 emmisions red bull as a whole produced each year, then I'd be more forgiving. It's not all they can do, but would be a great start. They could start donating 5 Cents to planting a tree for every can of redbull sold.
Yeah, amazing how dumb people can be. How can u not recognize this? Climate change is a thing and it is now. If we dont understand this, we are all gone...
FYI- to everyone watching, electric cars do not help carbon emissions!!! 62 percent of electricity comes from fossil fuels, and only about 18% comes from renewable energy sources. Hydro power is .3 percent... Buying electric cars is not the answer at the moment until we can use wind power ore efciently as right now we do not have enough places to store it.
That is an average. It depends on your location in the world and the local energy sources. If you're in Australia, where most electricity still resorts on burning coal, then maybe not. However if you're in Germany, or France, Quebec, Denmark, etc that rely heavily on renewable energy, then electric cars are much better, by quite a long shot! The carbon cost of building lithium batteries is large, but has been shown to be negligible with respect to the daily emissions caused by normal cars over their lifespan, which, let's not forget, also have a carbon cost associated to their production.
@@TheSkate2skater Yes but most of the CO2 produced during a cars lifetime is produced during manufacture. Upwards of 75%. So buy all the electric vehicles you want that figure will remain. It will only decrease with better manufacturing methods.
What was causing the Arctic ice to melt enough for the Franklin Expedition to try and find a route through the previously frozen Northwest Passage in 1845? 🤔
Not mad, but our circle of life is much shorter the earth's circle of life. Yes there is less ice now then there was yesterday but, we have more trees in the northern hemisphere then we had in the 100 years. Carbon is in every! Wood, dirt, people, food, water, air, "Ice."

Do people expect glacier cover to stay the same? It does not. In some regions glaciers grow and in some they shrink. Meanwhile, there is more land area in the south pacific ocean than there was 20 years ago, and the Maldives are not underwater. The Maldives just received 5 new airports.
Mars polar icecaps melt on the summer and reform on the winter at the same rate than earth. Is mars global warming caused by martians driving their SUV?
BATSOUP BUKAKE one single offseason snowfall does not compare to the huge amounts of evidence we have about climate change. Why would most glaciers be shrinking if climate change wasn’t real?
BATSOUP BUKAKE sun doesn’t really have much influence on the earths climate. Greenhouse gases are much more important and effective in warming the earth. By the way, solar activity has been going down since 1960s, yet earth still warms up. The problem with humans is that we emit more greenhouse gases than what earth can reuse, so it’s not about us breathing, but about our factories, cars etc. Btw, the entire west coast has been expiriencing massive fires this year
A single of season snowfall compared to years of increasingly bad and out of the norm forest fires is nothing. If climate change is not real as you suggest, why is it that early September snow is not getting any more serious and constant thought the years, like forest fires are currently doing?
Oh my god a glacier on the equator is melting One heat wave and now it’s melting and in one cooling event like the mini ice age will regrow the glacier
John Richardson I get your point, but I am just amazed when everyone on earth believes in climate change, except for many republicans, specifically in the United States.
Life aint fair... I won't stop consuming until those with better circumstances refuse to as well (cough cough red bull athletes cough cough). Why should I restrain myself when others have lived 10x what I have and still refuse to stop.
Whilst it is important to bring attention to changes suck as these, it feels little irresponsible to climb and therefore weaken what little ice is left. On top of the carbon spent to get an entire team of people and equipment all the way there. I mean you're damned if you do and damned if you don't in terms of getting there and reporting on it, but to climb what's left seems a bit much to me.
The Mendenhall Glacier is spitting out a forest estimated to be from around a thousand years ago. Melting glaciers at Norway's Lendbreen pass reveal tools and more from around 1000 years ago too. These glaciers covered up a forest and human artefacts. "Environmentalists" need to explain this.
Doug means well, he's a nice guy, but he's wrong. CO2 has nothing to do with storms or moisture coming in from the ocean (even the IPCC agrees with this). That's caused by the big oceanic circulation patterns and natural variance over centuries. Most equatorial glaciers are retreating. In the 1600s, a tremendous amount of ice built up on summits like this, and back in the 1300s, there was much less. Around 7000 BCE, most of the summits were likely ice free. CO2 is not the driver. In another 2,000 years, there will be MUCH more snow on top as precession and obliquity start to reverse the trend from the holocene maximum. Talk with atmospheric scientists. This is great storytelling, and it's important if you want to increase your research budget, but the true cause has nothing to do with humans, and it is poor science. Some glaciers are growing, most are shrinking. It would be exactly like this without any humans. The ice has been building up and sublimating away for hundreds of thousands of years.
CO2 has an indirect impact on the ocean currents via temperature. As more CO2 enters the atmosphere, temperatures rise, which not only impacts the temperature gradients of the oceans themselves, but it also effects the buildup of winds, that also are responsible for the currents. So it does have an impact on the glacier buildup using your own arguments. Furthermore, the temperature is very well a big factor for glacier buildup or melting. CO2 plays a part in both scenarios. Doug not only means well, he is also right.

Melting glaciers at Norway's Lendbreen pass reveal tools and more from around 1000 years ago too. These glaciers covered up a forest and human artefacts. How is atmospheric CO2 emitted by people responsible for glaciers growing over forest and human artefacts?
Damn what’s it like now?
How did you get there. How did you get home. Your sponsor, don’t they race in F1, don’t they sponsor flying races. I feel guilty but not because some privileged guy tells me I should do.
If redbull give back to the environment, like plant as many trees that would take up the CO2 emmisions red bull as a whole produced each year, then I'd be more forgiving. It's not all they can do, but would be a great start. They could start donating 5 Cents to planting a tree for every can of redbull sold.
This is not melting,
this is transformation.
it's just a lost game case
It makes me sad.
Amazing 👍
Yeah, amazing how dumb people can be. How can u not recognize this? Climate change is a thing and it is now. If we dont understand this, we are all gone...
Who decided the earth was supposed to have glaciers forever?
i will stop using carbon too. ill just stop breathing XD
Why dont you use ice stupa that is being used to preserve ice in ladakh in india
Why Glacier melting?

We have underestimated global warming
It's been melting since the ice age. No matter what we do it will continue to melt.
way too simple.

FYI- to everyone watching, electric cars do not help carbon emissions!!! 62 percent of electricity comes from fossil fuels, and only about 18% comes from renewable energy sources. Hydro power is .3 percent... Buying electric cars is not the answer at the moment until we can use wind power ore efciently as right now we do not have enough places to store it.
That is an average. It depends on your location in the world and the local energy sources. If you're in Australia, where most electricity still resorts on burning coal, then maybe not. However if you're in Germany, or France, Quebec, Denmark, etc that rely heavily on renewable energy, then electric cars are much better, by quite a long shot! The carbon cost of building lithium batteries is large, but has been shown to be negligible with respect to the daily emissions caused by normal cars over their lifespan, which, let's not forget, also have a carbon cost associated to their production.
Hybrid cars do
@@TheSkate2skater Yes but most of the CO2 produced during a cars lifetime is produced during manufacture. Upwards of 75%. So buy all the electric vehicles you want that figure will remain. It will only decrease with better manufacturing methods.
Sad😪
Cause it’s hot!
honestly wonder what they think of Antarctica.
You mean the North pole ?
What was causing the Arctic ice to melt enough for the Franklin Expedition to try and find a route through the previously frozen Northwest Passage in 1845? 🤔
Tell me more than a year later, is your life still changed by this and what 2 things have you done to "use less carbon"?
Not mad, but our circle of life is much shorter the earth's circle of life.
Yes there is less ice now then there was yesterday but, we have more trees in the northern hemisphere then we had in the 100 years.
Carbon is in every! Wood, dirt, people, food, water, air, "Ice." It's what binds us together🤷♂️
It is what it is. Thanks for this message Wish the best too all! 😉
yeah, it is what it is - but you dont want it to be what it will be if it continues. it is getting ugly.
@@khoado2060 true! plastic is a byproduct from oil refineries. Oil is from past plants and animals. Plastic isn't a natural occurring. 🤷♂️ I'll just leave it as that haha I could say 101 things about this topic.
Have a good one
Thank you for not politicizing climate change.
How
Remember there wasn't supposed to be anymore snow on the mt in 2010. Keep stretching that line, sooner or later it might be true. Thank India and China for the Carbon emissions, plus curious what your carbon foot print is. All those planes and traveling.
Scientific predictions have almost always been true. The ones that weren't true were under-predicted, not over-predicted.
@@firstname405 How does your point work here. Remember the northern passage was going to be open year round by 2010.
bruh the thumbnail is so click bait
drink some of the glacier its really good before its too late
Do people expect glacier cover to stay the same? It does not. In some regions glaciers grow and in some they shrink. Meanwhile, there is more land area in the south pacific ocean than there was 20 years ago, and the Maldives are not underwater. The Maldives just received 5 new airports.
Easy, just look at California!
American burn acreage and heat waves were much higher in the 1930s and into the 1940s.

Mars polar icecaps melt on the summer and reform on the winter at the same rate than earth.
Is mars global warming caused by martians driving their SUV?
Trump and Bolsonaro: Global Warming is fake.
😂🤣😅
They are fake, they don't exist for humanity
@Grishnakh boogboi climate change is real and COVID-19 is deadly
Why are people disliking this?!
FAKE NEWS
Misinformed people who mindlessly repeat climate change denial.
Snowing in Colorado, in the summer!
Oh gotta love climate change!
BATSOUP BUKAKE one single offseason snowfall does not compare to the huge amounts of evidence we have about climate change.
Why would most glaciers be shrinking if climate change wasn’t real?
@@rafaxddant936
You want to stop climate change?
Hold your breath!
Nature being natural is nominal... Pay more attention to the sun, not cow farts...
BATSOUP BUKAKE sun doesn’t really have much influence on the earths climate. Greenhouse gases are much more important and effective in warming the earth. By the way, solar activity has been going down since 1960s, yet earth still warms up. The problem with humans is that we emit more greenhouse gases than what earth can reuse, so it’s not about us breathing, but about our factories, cars etc.
Btw, the entire west coast has been expiriencing massive fires this year
A single of season snowfall compared to years of increasingly bad and out of the norm forest fires is nothing. If climate change is not real as you suggest, why is it that early September snow is not getting any more serious and constant thought the years, like forest fires are currently doing?
What’s with the hate? Obviously a joke and a good one too
Google earth shows tons of snow in 2023
Says preachy Red-Bull dude “that’s it, I’m using less carbon!”…..
But….um……how you gettin’ home now, rad Red-Bull dude???
Oh my god a glacier on the equator is melting
One heat wave and now it’s melting and in one cooling event like the mini ice age will regrow the glacier
Glaciers melt that’s what the do in between ice ages
Maybe if we weren't sinking billions and billions into going to mars to look at rocks and sand and put it towards helping our planet this would stop
LOL its less then 1% of the budget while military is over 30% yet science is the problem LMFAO cant fix stupid
sad realy sad
Kilimanjaro Tanzania.🔥🔥🔥🔥
Its almost like its Summer
Every year mother earth's condition is getting worse, and that's on us humans
Can you believe like half of America thinks it’s just a complete hoax 😂 Lets vote this clown out of office!
John Richardson I get your point, but I am just amazed when everyone on earth believes in climate change, except for many republicans, specifically in the United States.
The terrain and climate of the earth has been constantly changing since WAAAYYYY before humans were around; very interesting.
But this time humans are the cause
Welcome. 😊
Red bull is on 9.59 m subs
Go pro is on 9.49 m subs
Let's see who hits 10 m first 🤩
Life aint fair... I won't stop consuming until those with better circumstances refuse to as well (cough cough red bull athletes cough cough). Why should I restrain myself when others have lived 10x what I have and still refuse to stop.
u do u. sometimes its not about consumption but responsibility. beeing responsible feels better in the long run.
Just remember, we’re equalizing after the last ice age.
Red Bull : Why are Kili's glaciers disapearing ?
Me : You really want to know ?
because of businesses like yours.
Whilst it is important to bring attention to changes suck as these, it feels little irresponsible to climb and therefore weaken what little ice is left. On top of the carbon spent to get an entire team of people and equipment all the way there. I mean you're damned if you do and damned if you don't in terms of getting there and reporting on it, but to climb what's left seems a bit much to me.
Temperature cycles. How many ice ages has the earth had? No more questions your honor. Environmentalists are becoming the new flat earthers
The Mendenhall Glacier is spitting out a forest estimated to be from around a thousand years ago. Melting glaciers at Norway's Lendbreen pass reveal tools and more from around 1000 years ago too. These glaciers covered up a forest and human artefacts. "Environmentalists" need to explain this.
Doug means well, he's a nice guy, but he's wrong. CO2 has nothing to do with storms or moisture coming in from the ocean (even the IPCC agrees with this). That's caused by the big oceanic circulation patterns and natural variance over centuries. Most equatorial glaciers are retreating. In the 1600s, a tremendous amount of ice built up on summits like this, and back in the 1300s, there was much less. Around 7000 BCE, most of the summits were likely ice free. CO2 is not the driver. In another 2,000 years, there will be MUCH more snow on top as precession and obliquity start to reverse the trend from the holocene maximum. Talk with atmospheric scientists. This is great storytelling, and it's important if you want to increase your research budget, but the true cause has nothing to do with humans, and it is poor science. Some glaciers are growing, most are shrinking. It would be exactly like this without any humans. The ice has been building up and sublimating away for hundreds of thousands of years.
CO2 has an indirect impact on the ocean currents via temperature. As more CO2 enters the atmosphere, temperatures rise, which not only impacts the temperature gradients of the oceans themselves, but it also effects the buildup of winds, that also are responsible for the currents.
So it does have an impact on the glacier buildup using your own arguments. Furthermore, the temperature is very well a big factor for glacier buildup or melting.
CO2 plays a part in both scenarios. Doug not only means well, he is also right.
Hit and run
Climate change deniers will say, “of course it’s melting, it’s in Africa!”
The Arctic is getting bigger ice sheets. I guess you are a facts denier
