- Red Bull ice climber, Will Gadd, embarks on a mission to have one last shot at climbing the glaciers of Mount Kilimanjaro. In 2014, Will made several first ascents of Kilimanjaro’s ice towers. Now, as the mountain’s iconic ice cap disappears rapidly, he returns to make a last ascent. During those elapsed years, some glaciers on Mt Kilimanjaro lost upwards of 70% of their ice. Will finds out why.

Want to find out how ice climbing can help scientific research for climate change? Tune in on our live stream with Will Gadd and his team on Wednesday September 23: th-cam.com/video/dI_dGFX7P7c/w-d-xo.html
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.
watching this while my state is burning
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
Where's the oxymoron?
Much love from Tanzania 🇹🇿🇹🇿
Res Bull should do something to help environment

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.
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
Yeah good point!
Boats are a thing but take forever.
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
I found this mountain in one book,
It's written that no snow would be found in year 2020. I'm glad some snow still exists.
2 years later, with record snow fall and maintained low tempertures have advanced the snow cap. Oops!
Now they are saying 2026
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’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
Big Smoke that’s very true!
@@shredspectrum356 Oh yah! Doncha know? You betcha!
“I do need to do more” (the trips to Africa and all around the world don’t count though because we’re more important than everyone else)
I figured this out snowboarding on Colorado mountains a decade ago....
How is this not more obvious to people who have careers in the outdoors?
We need a whole new social structure or we won't survive what's coming.....
The impact of the ice melting is far worse than just sea level rise
Actually climate change isn't necessarly bad news overall
The Maldives just received 5 new airports, a decade after their propaganda underwater govt meeting.
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. How is atmospheric CO2 emitted by people responsible for glaciers growing over forest and human artefacts?
@@channel1_channel that's what you call a strawman.... or i'm completely misunderstanding your point.
This has nothing to do with ecosystem collapse caused by the fact that the temperature IS changing and affecting weather stability.
It just snowed here in Colorado after weeks of 90 degree plus weather everyday.
That's worrying for anyone that understands we are biological creatures that must grow food sens have habitat to survive.
When there's no habitat to grow food we're done here.
Yes, animals can adapt and migrate but trees cannot.
Many lifeforms require specific conditions that are now out of whack and unlikely to stabilize.
If you don't find this concerning to your own survival I'm confused.
Everything I have studied about science and the environment throughout my life shows we are in dire circumstances....
The benefits of new discoveries from melting glaciers is a pitiful trade for losing most life on the planet if not all
@@xanthuumnihyr5319 where did you get an idea like that?
Losing most life on the planet is overall a good thing?
Sorry, i'm not a psychopath, I care about life.
@@MattAngiono I didn't ask you to speak for me
My point is that the biosphere is always at its climax when the earth is hotter. Our current climate might be well suited for humanity but i don't think it is ideal for life in general.
The change in humidity and precipitation is directly linked to extensive deforestation around the mountain. And indeed, hope the carbon footprint of the production was offset?
Explain CO2 vs the Lendbreen glacier revealing human artefacts from around 1000 years ago. The Mendenhall Glacier is also revealing what is believed to be the location of a forest from around 1000 years ago.
My first climb of Kilimanjaro was in 2003. I have been to the top 8 more times since than and am astounded at the rate of change. My photos in 2019 show a completely different landscape. . .the canary on the coal mine!
Make sure to tune into our live stream this Wednesday Sep 23rd, Will Gadd will tackle those rates of change as well on the live: th-cam.com/video/dI_dGFX7P7c/w-d-xo.html

Hello Well done for this 🙏
I remember watching the video back in 2014😪
me misreading the “the” as “this”: wot?
me reading it again: oh
When I poke ice cubes, they brake into pieces and melt.
We can only assume you mean break, I mean how would ice cubes brake anyway? Maybe by skidding along the bottom of the glass, I guess.
@@bluepvp900 you are 🤢🤮
I want to know what kind of gloves do you guys use to keep you warm? and for your feet?
I pity Mt Kilimanjaro might lose its glaciers like our Mt Kenya 😓is there anything possible to prevent this
Don't fly home
swim instead over the Atlantic
How much emissions does Red Bull pump into the atmosphere? k.
Significantly less than the rest of us I am betting....are you doing something to reduce your carbon emissions or are you just bitching for bitching's sake?
Enough to flood us with their litter.
Thumbs up from the Philippines 👍🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Really sad to see these amazing structures vanish...hopefully something of that kind will come back, some time
This is even worse. Around 1000 years ago a forest at Mendenhall got destroyed by a glacier. Now the Mendenhall glacier is revealing stumps and logs.
Natural cycles are not man made. Unlike the unnatural poison red bull encourage the sheeple to consume.
This makes me happy of what redbull is doing of us. Please let's save kilimanjaro
Whatever you say, the footage shows more snow in 2020 than 2014, i saw black and white footage of kilimanjaro from the 1930 and there were not much snow back then!
That doesn't make much sense due to the fact that from 1912 to 2007 the ice body has lost approx 85 % of its area. Sooooo maybe the photo was taken in the summer times?! Or from a different location. I once saw a photo of a flying cat but I am pretty sure cats can't fly. Maybe someone threw the cat and took a picture ;)

How
Redbull is like "global warming is bad guys" meanwhile they have multiple motorsport teams that produce a ton of carbon emissions and have other sports like piloting stunts and boat teams that also emit carbon. Not hypocritical or anything. If you're gonna give lessons to the rest of us, make sure to actually follow your own advice. Still love motorsports though, I don't care about weather changing.
You will care for the change of weather when it becomes uncomfortable and you cant breathe.
Why dont you use ice stupa that is being used to preserve ice in ladakh in india
Yes we melted the ice. Without us the ice on the mountain would have stayed the same for eternity.
Red bull🔥🔥
It makes me sad.
Red bull very old channel I love your videos
Cause it’s hot!
Excellent video thanks 🙏
3:35 to 4:25 In just 50 seconds, they clearly link CO2 emitted by people to ice melting. Rewatch this part of the video to be better informed.

halfasheep ?????
@@zakkhartwig Are you confused now? Research> glaciers are coughing up trees and artefacts from just 1000 years ago.
halfasheep I don’t understand how any of that is relevant? That was over 1000 years ago like you said. The world had been getting colder for the last 6000 years, we are living in an era that would normally be due for an ice age. However, temperature trends completely flipped once the Industrial Age began.
@@zakkhartwig Mountain passes turned into glacial areas. Forests felled by glaciers (Mendenhall). Vikings thrived on Greenland with reports of old graves with tree roots in them (still in permafrost!). We have a contemporary narrative and those facts don't fit very well.
Stop chipping at the ice and helping it disappear then.
Who decided the earth was supposed to have glaciers forever?
I respect that they didnt disable the comments xD
I want to see more videos like this
So Red Bull can spread more of their carbon foot print all over the world? Red Bull produces more co2 than most small countries.

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...
bruh the thumbnail is so click bait
it's just a lost game case
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"?
This is not melting,
this is transformation.
honestly wonder what they think of Antarctica.
You mean the North pole ?
Sad😪
drink some of the glacier its really good before its too late
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? 🤔
i will stop using carbon too. ill just stop breathing XD
We have underestimated global warming
Google earth shows tons of snow in 2023
sad realy sad
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
Says preachy Red-Bull dude “that’s it, I’m using less carbon!”…..
But….um……how you gettin’ home now, rad Red-Bull dude???
"I will use less carbon going forward"... get's on a plane and flies halfway around the world.
the planes travel even if you're not on it....
@@jimmy-jamesolivier-mccutch2126 this sort of statement lacks a very basic understanding of how supply and demand works.
Reminds me of someone I know throwing a bunch of plastic straws around a McDonald's restaurant and I said you should probably stop wasting them. He said it doesn't matter, they've already been made. 🤣🤣🤣 This is why we pay attention in school, folks.
You really think this guy isn't aware of that? The guy making a video informing people about how carbon dioxide is changing the climate and melting the ice, you really think he isn't aware that when he flies he is part of the problem? Come on guys think a bit bigger than that
@@tcw95NZ of course he knows, that's the point. It's all a little pretentious I think. Have Red Bull sponsor a video about how the ice is melting on Kili. Is their goal to make us aware and of melting ice and global warming(like we are not aware by now) or is their goal to make their brand look like it actually cares about the environment?
@@ErloBrown1 those are some good questions, who knows what their motivations are but if it's like 99% of other companies on this planet it's probably just to make money. To my original comment though, I was just trying to say that being environmentally conscious and flying on places don't have to be mutually exclusive.
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.

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.

Thank you for not politicizing climate change.
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.
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.
Easy, just look at California!
American burn acreage and heat waves were much higher in the 1930s and into the 1940s.
halfasheep
More exposed surface area allows for the ice to exchange more heat.
Therefore increasing the rate of melting ice.
I am more surprised that there is there is ice on a mountain that looks like a desert than that ice is melting.
We are all aware of climate change, or at least most of us are, and a lot of us are trying to make a change. However, Red Bull flying people all over the world to climb ice is also damaging it.
If you think about the amount of people in the Red Bull teams that travel all over the world for various events from mountain biking to F1 is just silly. Also, just think of the amount of waste and pollution your drink alone is doing to the world from manufacturing to shipping it globally.
The largest contributors to global warming by a significant margin are international shipping and the US military. Are you complaining to them and voting for their curtailment or just snarking at athletes on youtube?
You do realise Redbull represents a drop in the ocean? Unfortunately, major change relies on regulation and legislation to encourage industries to green up. Change often comes from public pressure, which is increased through greater exposure by such films. Setting an example I guess does a similar trick, although this is a more powerful narrative seeing the visual impacts of climate change.
Barry Bonifay they were snarking at the company Red Bull in general. It is a little hypocritical for a company of that size to preach this message I agree
@@lynwood77 I was merely pointing out that everyone needs to make a change to how they exist on this planet, not any one specific company/corporation. But them saying "this is what global warming is doing to the ice sheets" while flying people all over the world which is, in my opinion, not helping. And getting mad at someone that is pointing out a fact just shows how narrow minded they are and not really looking at the bigger picture. For example, you wrote that the military and international shipping are by far the worst, and just to point out... Red Bull ARE international and ship globally, so you sort of shot yourself in the foot with that one.
Climate change is just the same alarmism as Covid = Bullshit
because of businesses like yours.
Ever thought about dropping your F1 Team or stop flying athletes around the World to create these 3 Minute Stunt Videos you upload here???
SAVAGE
Well said
@MATADOR nah but doing these things speeds up global warming and it makes this Video look hypocritical when you as a company have a bigger carbon footprint than a small country.
btw they calling it now climate change because they cant prove that the temperature will constantly go up. Thats why they changed it ;)

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.
