I think it's just a frame of reference useful to people that work in that area so they, at least, know what it means and where someone is referring to. So if you were heading south towards the pole you would just continue onward the same direction, south. To them it would make sense. To the rest of us it makes none. You sort of have to be there.
@@mikeyoung9810 Yeah. I think you're right. A compass would be a bit useless there so their frame of reference would have to depend on some other parameter. The datum seems to be the mountain range rather than any specific point on the map.

Is it possible to point north while on antarctica? Like we did on normal map. 🤔 Seems like it will point north in different directions for different spot.

Do a video on the Famous "WIGAN PIER" it's projected maintenance costs for the next 1000yrs is estimated to be about £63.40(or about 50 pies to us locals) The most common quote when viewing is "Where the hell is it"
In 1990, the IPCC First Assessment Report acknowledged that "Human-made aerosols, from sulphur emitted largely in fossil fuel combustion can modify clouds and this may act to lower temperatures", while "a decrease in emissions of sulphur might be expected to increase global temperatures". Since the 1980s, a decrease in air pollution has led to a partial reversal of the dimming trend, sometimes referred to as global brightening. This global brightening had contributed to the acceleration of global warming which began in the 1990s. n 2020, COVID-19 lockdowns provided a notable "natural experiment", as there had been a marked decline in sulfate and black carbon emissions caused by the curtailed road traffic and industrial output. That decline did have a detectable warming impact: it was estimated to have increased global temperatures by 0.01-0.02 °C (0.018-0.036 °F) initially and up to 0.03 °C (0.054 °F) by 2023, before disappearing. Regionally, the lockdowns were estimated to increase temperatures by 0.05-0.15 °C (0.090-0.270 °F) in eastern China over January-March, and then by 0.04-0.07 °C (0.072-0.126 °F) over Europe, eastern United States, and South Asia in March-May, with the peak impact of 0.3 °C (0.54 °F) in some regions of the United States and Russia.
Still wanna see you covering Denver International Airport! I think either here or geographies would be cool, but it’s much more of a mega project than anything! 2nd largest airport in the world, 15th busiest in the world, and surrounded by conspiracy theories, rife with budget overruns, and a beautiful terminal to boot!
Satellite data have recently revealed that between 2002 and 2019, the mesosphere and lower thermosphere cooled by 3.1 degrees F (1.7 degrees C ). Mlynczak estimates that the doubling of CO2 levels thought likely by later this century will cause a cooling in these zones of around 13.5 degrees F (7.5 degrees C), which is between two and three times faster than the average warming expected at ground level.
That's how the natural cycle works when CO2 is a feedback mechanism, not a driver. Unfortunately, taking carbon out of the ground and putting it into the atmosphere 1 million times faster than it gets deposited turns that cycle on its head and CO2 becomes a driver of climate change. We know it is fossil carbon that is going into the atmosphere because the isotope ratios are changing. This also shows up in the ocean carbonate shells also are absorbing CO2 dissolved in the ocean. We can also tell that much of it is from burning because we can also look at the oxygen content of the atmosphere and it is also decreasing in proportion to the amount of CO2 added.
@@GoldSrc_ Listen carefully: in the temperature history, first temperature goes up, then CO2 goes up. It is not that CO2 increases cause rises in temperature. It is that rises is temperature causes increases in CO2, OR that both temp and CO2 rises are caused by some third mechanism. I know anthropogenic CO2 has increased over the last 100 years. I know the addition is not natural. I am saying it will not cause significant warming, and that what warming their is will not be catastrophic.
@@freesk8 How in the eleventh fuck can an increase in temperature, cause an increase in the amount of a very special isotope of CO2 that didn't exist? Also, look at Texas right now, funny, it's almost like people have been saying that an increase in global temperatures would make both extremes of the climate worse. But nah, that can't be it, right? Fucking idiots.
a whole lotta regret. The last time I used "ancient" ice in a drink, I had was on the toilet for weeks. Old does not mean clean, just ask any sex-worker.
The heat increase on Earth was almost the SAME 150,000 years ago and 350,000 years ago. (By simply looking at a simple graph of heat increase over time this can easily be confirmed.)
I've always aspired to sniff a mid-range scotch poured over a hefty chunck of 12,000 year-old ice core...accompanied by a frosty Polar Ginger Ale, of course.
Real question here, when talking about Dome C you said that it was "southeast of the south pole". Wouldn't that be northwest? Or would it be better to just reference its latitude and longitude?
If you go to ice core wiki you can see 400,000 years of climate history from the Vostok ice core. Interesting to see the cycles of temperature and CO2 rise and fall over and over long before factories or SUV's were around.

It is that rises is temperature causes increases in CO2, OR that both temp and CO2 rises are caused by some third mechanism. I know anthropogenic CO2 has increased over the last 100 years. I know the addition is not natural. I am saying it will not cause significant warming, and that what warming their is will not be catastrophic.
@@freesk8 How in the eleventh fuck can an increase in temperature, cause an increase in the amount of a very special isotope of CO2 that didn't exist?
Also, look at Texas right now, funny, it's almost like people have been saying that an increase in global temperatures would make both extremes of the climate worse.
But nah, that can't be it, right?
Fucking idiots.
Please do one on Lake Vostock?
Simon do one on the C-17 and the FB-111
A geographics episode on Lake Vostok would be interesting
I don’t believe that some scientists in Antarctica would get violent over a game of chess lol
Confederation Bridge and SNOLAB please
all I'm asking myself is: what does 800.000 year old ice taste like in a drink?
a whole lotta regret. The last time I used "ancient" ice in a drink, I had was on the toilet for weeks. Old does not mean clean, just ask any sex-worker.

The heat increase on Earth was almost the SAME 150,000 years ago and 350,000 years ago. (By simply looking at a simple graph of heat increase over time this can easily be confirmed.)
How many of those shirts does Simon own?
The trick is it's actually a bunch of islands covered in ice
Seems like an expensive way to make popsicles but I have to ask have they ever brought up some yellow snow?
I might as well live in Antarctica today, so damn cold out today.
10:48 I think it's due north of the south pole, isn't it?
The Ice Cores are Earth`s frozen libary - the purest truth of the history of our planet
9:42 I see what you did there Simon! Nice pun 😉
I've always aspired to sniff a mid-range scotch poured over a hefty chunck of 12,000 year-old ice core...accompanied by a frosty Polar Ginger Ale, of course.
Real question here, when talking about Dome C you said that it was "southeast of the south pole". Wouldn't that be northwest? Or would it be better to just reference its latitude and longitude?
Prime meridian is north
@@sandybarnes887 thank you.
@@patrickmckenzie4242 glad I could help
the bank between my ears gets robbed all the time...every day lol
Simon. You should do a mega projects video on Bandai's 1:1 Gundam in Yokohama.
Megaprojects about Lake Kariba. Please Simon.
The Dwight D. Eisenhower National System of Interstate and Defense Highways, commonly known as the Interstate Highway System
simon is too cute when gets exited about science
There's an alien spacecraft down there... THE THING!!!! Ahahaha!!!
Or ancient viruses
Is TH-cam adding 4 ads per video or is that you Simon? Because that on top of your sponsored ad is well over the top.
Hmm interesting 🤔. I only had 1 ad other than the Blinkist one.
No mention of the revolutionary findings made by the ill-fated Pabodie Expedition of 1930.
Conclusion: It was cold.
Thank you .
If you go to ice core wiki you can see 400,000 years of climate history from the Vostok ice core.
Interesting to see the cycles of temperature and CO2 rise and fall over and over long before factories or SUV's were around.
Are you trying to insinuate that climate change is not real?
@@thenobalnacho pointing out that climate change isn't exclusively a man made phenomenon isn't climate change denial.
It is dogmatic to associate the two different opinions and likely the result of political tribalism.
Climate change= manmade religion.
Why did you leave visual politik?
*The Thing entered chat*
shit, and Kurt Russell is getting old, we must act fast
Lake Vostok.
oooooo my uncle is one of the scientists heavily involved in ice core drilling!
I feel like you need another lot of channels, eg Megaprojects+Blaze were you record the same video's but blaze your way through them.
