    I made a follow up to this video explaining more: th-cam.com/video/eB3DJtQZVsw/w-d-xo.html
    These cycles have little to do with the global warming debate. These cycles occur of hundreds of thousands of years and is unrelated to any changes over the past century. Please see my follow up video.

      Did you ever consider where we would be without global warming? The early 19th century was the coldest period since the end of the last Ice age. A single volcanic eruption was enough to bring a year without summer. This "mini Ice Age" was actually part of the shift back into the next ice age. It was reversed by the Industrial Revolution. Following the Milankovitch Cycle, we should already be plummeting into the next Ice age.
      Yes. Global warming is real, and THANK GOD.

      Well, he did hint at it: in "recent" eras, the cycle has been like a glaciation every 40K years or so, end of one to beginning of next. The last glaciation ended some 30K years ago, which would leave us with some 10K years to the next. Unfortunately, astronomical cycles won't save us from manmade climate change.

      We are currently at interglacial cycle and ice age is next. It is hard to predict exactly when ice age will start, because of many factors like: Milankovitch cycles, activity of the Sun (cold sunspots), activity of volcanoes, activity of cosmic radiation (Solar system moves "up/down" and "in/out" in regard to Milky Way center), activity of animals and plants on lands and seas and many others.

But let’s all point our fingers at conservatives and republicans because it is them who are killing the planet. So let’s put them in prison and stop driving cars and planes, all for 0.4% of our contribution.

    It's not so much a question of the heat capacity but primarily a question of the mechanism of heat transport. On solid ground it is heat conduction where as on water you have convection.

Helens and Mt Pinatubo had recently recorded effects on a global scale. Krakatoa was another major one that produced "the year without a summer".

      But to me this scares me even more to think that humans actually have very little effect on our planet and that Earth is changing rapidly with or without us here. Then the question is left in answered, what is effecting this planet? Is it actually us? Is it the sun changing too? Is it some unknown thing in space like the theorized Planet X? Who knows. Either way we best prepare for the future and what we can actually control.

    The Milankovitch Cycles started about 3 million years ago, and are still happening. We have been in an ice age for 15 to 20 million years, since the re-glaciation of Antarctica. People tend to call Glaciation Periods "Ice Ages", but they are just fluctuations within the current ice age. We currently have ice caps on both poles, definitely in an ice age, right now. We are at the top, or warm part of a Milankovitch cycle, called an Inter-glacial Period. It gets warm for 10,000 - 20,000 yrs or so, and then the cycle gets cold for 100,000 yrs. The cycles used to be much shorter and less extreme in temperature change, and had 40,000 yrs of cold. Now it is about a 100,000 yrs of cold.

    @tetrogram ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Each glacial period is subject to positive feedback which makes it more severe, and negative feedback which mitigates and (in all cases so far) eventually ends it.
    The causes of ice ages are not fully understood for either the large-scale ice age periods or the smaller ebb and flow of glacial-interglacial periods within an ice age. The consensus is that several factors are important: atmospheric composition, such as the concentrations of carbon dioxide and methane (the specific levels of the previously mentioned gases are now able to be seen with the new ice core samples from the European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica (EPICA) Dome C in Antarctica over the past 800,000 years); changes in Earth's orbit around the Sun known as Milankovitch cycles; the motion of tectonic plates resulting in changes in the relative location and amount of continental and oceanic crust on Earth's surface, which affect wind and ocean currents; variations in solar output; the orbital dynamics of the Earth-Moon system; the impact of relatively large meteorites and volcanism including eruptions of supervolcanoes.[58][citation needed]
    Some of these factors influence each other. For example, changes in Earth's atmospheric composition (especially the concentrations of greenhouse gases) may alter the climate, while climate change itself can change the atmospheric composition (for example by changing the rate at which weathering removes CO2).
    Maureen Raymo, William Ruddiman and others propose that the Tibetan and Colorado Plateaus are immense CO2 "scrubbers" with a capacity to remove enough CO2 from the global atmosphere to be a significant causal factor of the 40 million year Cenozoic Cooling trend. They further claim that approximately half of their uplift (and CO2 "scrubbing" capacity) occurred in the past 10 million years.[59][60]
    Ice sheets that form during glaciations erode the land beneath them. This can reduce the land area above sea level and thus diminish the amount of space on which ice sheets can form. This mitigates the albedo feedback, as does the rise in sea level that accompanies the reduced area of ice sheets, since open ocean has a lower albedo than land.[55]
    Another negative feedback mechanism is the increased aridity occurring with glacial maxima, which reduces the precipitation available to maintain glaciation. The glacial retreat induced by this or any other process can be amplified by similar inverse positive feedbacks as for glacial advances.[56]
    According to research published in Nature Geoscience, human emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) will defer the next glacial period. Researchers used data on Earth's orbit to find the historical warm interglacial period that looks most like the current one and from this have predicted that the next glacial period would usually begin within 1,500 years. They go on to predict that emissions have been so high that it will not.[57]
    An important form of feedback is provided by Earth's albedo, which is how much of the sun's energy is reflected rather than absorbed by Earth. Ice and snow increase Earth's albedo, while forests reduce its albedo. When the air temperature decreases, ice and snow fields grow, and they reduce forest cover. This continues until competition with a negative feedback mechanism forces the system to an equilibrium.
    One theory is that when glaciers form, two things happen: the ice grinds rocks into dust, and the land becomes dry and arid. This allows winds to transport iron rich dust into the open ocean, where it acts as a fertilizer that causes massive algal blooms that pulls large amounts of CO2 out of the atmosphere. This in turn makes it even colder and causes the glaciers to grow more.[50]
    In 1956, Ewing and Donn[51] hypothesized that an ice-free Arctic Ocean leads to increased snowfall at high latitudes. When low-temperature ice covers the Arctic Ocean there is little evaporation or sublimation and the polar regions are quite dry in terms of precipitation, comparable to the amount found in mid-latitude deserts. This low precipitation allows high-latitude snowfalls to melt during the summer. An ice-free Arctic Ocean absorbs solar radiation during the long summer days, and evaporates more water into the Arctic atmosphere. With higher precipitation, portions of this snow may not melt during the summer and so glacial ice can form at lower altitudes and more southerly latitudes, reducing the temperatures over land by increased albedo as noted above. Furthermore, under this hypothesis the lack of oceanic pack ice allows increased exchange of waters between the Arctic and the North Atlantic Oceans, warming the Arctic and cooling the North Atlantic. (Current projected consequences of global warming include a brief ice-free Arctic Ocean period by 2050.) Additional fresh water flowing into the North Atlantic during a warming cycle may also reduce the global ocean water circulation. Such a reduction (by reducing the effects of the Gulf Stream) would have a cooling effect on northern Europe, which in turn would lead to increased low-latitude snow retention during the summer.[52][53][54] It has also been suggested[by whom?] that during an extensive glacial, glaciers may move through the Gulf of Saint Lawrence, extending into the North Atlantic Ocean far enough to block the Gulf Stream.
    There is evidence that greenhouse gas levels fell at the start of ice ages and rose during the retreat of the ice sheets, but it is difficult to establish cause and effect (see the notes above on the role of weathering). Greenhouse gas levels may also have been affected by other factors which have been proposed as causes of ice ages, such as the movement of continents and volcanism.
    The Snowball Earth hypothesis maintains that the severe freezing in the late Proterozoic was ended by an increase in CO2 levels in the atmosphere, mainly from volcanoes, and some supporters of Snowball Earth argue that it was caused in the first place by a reduction in atmospheric CO2. The hypothesis also warns of future Snowball Earths.
    In 2009, further evidence was provided that changes in solar insolation provide the initial trigger for Earth to warm after an Ice Age, with secondary factors like increases in greenhouse gases accounting for the magnitude of the change.[61]

    On top of that, the Earth’s oceans and ocean currents have a significant effect on temperatures in the temperate zones. At one time, North America and Europe’s climate was much, much colder than today because North and South America were not connected by land. Instead of the Atlantic Ocean’s warm water current traveling up South America, into the Caribbean and up towards the North Atlantic, the current travelled around the northern part of South America into the Pacific Ocean. Without these warm water currents, large parts of both North America and Europe were frozen over with ice year round.

    You correctly say that the extreme climate changes have been happening for 100s of thousand of years. But the Earth is billions of years old. It seems that continental drift has greatly increased the effect of the Milankovic cycles over the past million or so years by closing off the Arctic Ocean from the Pacific Ocean, cutting off warm currents from the Pacific, and allowing the Arctic Ocean to almost totally freeze over in winter. This ice mostly stays for well past June when solar radiation is strongest in the Arctic, thus delaying land temperatures from rising and melting winter snow cover. It is currently quite an unstable system, and the modest Milankovitch effects can have major consequences.

    • @ItsJustAstronomical
      @ItsJustAstronomical  3 ปีที่แล้ว +28

      Yes, that's correct that the Milankovitch cycles have been particularly strong the past million years or so. Your comment about the oceans is quite interesting. Another thing that played an important role is the formation of the Himalayas these increase weathering which causes CO2 levels to drop and so the temperatures have been falling since then. The Milankovitch cycles are only really important when the earth is relatively cold since it depends on ice forming.

    I believe we're in no position to alter any significant parameter of Earth's climate, at least on a global scale. Locally, yes. Big metropolitan areas are warmer than the countryside because of heat bubbles. But the planet has its own mechanisms which we aren't even close to understand. We must change the way we use energy and treat the environment, not because of climate change but to give room for nature to thrive and not pollut it. The climate will follow its path with or without humans. In that sense we're irrelevant.

      Do you understand what CO/CO2 is and what they do? Locally? OK let's go with your belief. Let's see. metropolitan areas. How many are there - around the world? Then how many smaller communities, produce CO/CO2 as well? All around the world! Because of incomplete combustion of carbon, carbon monoxide (CO) and CO2 is produced. i.e. burning of fossil fuels etc. Carbon Monoxide does combine with O2 in the atmosphere producing Carbon Dioxide. Add this to natural occurring release of CO2, say from volcanoes. Yes plants use CO2. How much do you think they can use? Deforestation and burning of fossil fuel increases the CO2 level and disturb the balance in the atmosphere. The increased amount of CO2 in the air is mainly responsible for global warming. Yes there is a "cycle" the Earth goes through, as the video says. Humans have been contributing more and more CO2 over time. Science, what a concept.

Gases absorbing infrared light re-emit them in all directions, causing a loop (trapping them partly), instead of the radiation being reflected back into space. This doesn't directly have to do with ice ages, but thought it'd be a good idea to mention it as some may have come to the wrong conclusions in the comment section.

Does excess carbon trap heat yes but not to a degree like what government would have you think, pretty much everything you put in a recycling bin ends up in landfills and not getting recycled, have you ever wondered why you have to separate all your recycling and then they just throw it all in the same container yet will not accept it if you don't follow the rules they lay out. It's a matter of getting people to follow directions not to recycle. The number one rule of governing is that fear equals control, if you can find something to make people afraid of they will do whatever you say even give up their freedom for a sense of security. Covid is the perfect example of that theory in play , even with a hospitalization average of 0.89% and an average death rate of 0.2% they were able to elevate it to a level of societal mania and terror where people did anything and whatever they were told simply for a promise of normalcy , they gave up informed consent, they gave up the right to freedom over their bodies, they gave up family, church, education, they were convinced an entire group of people were the root of all problems simply because they didn't want to be part of an experiment, even though that drug doesn't stop infection or spread they're convinced if they just inject more they will finally have normalcy even though the science shows the benefits are minimal and the risks may be great , they say no matter what you do every single person is going to get covid and yet we're afraid of who we get it from as if getting it from an unvaccinated person would be worse than a vaccinated person when they carry the same as amount of virus, they get caught lying over and over yet people still believe everything they say while criticizing those who disagree, tens of thousands of scientists were silenced and threatened and scientific debate was not allowed in favor of a small group of individuals making all decisions for us, MRNA vaccines have never been used in humans before and showed to be unstable in previous studies yet it was the only form of vaccines in the end that they're Letting people have, they asked for 75 years to release the safety data to the public and no one questioned why it seems Shady. Once wide used drugs, vitamins and a WHO classified miracle drug used for river blindness, aids, zeka, influenza, H1N1, and being considered to treat cancer was reduced to a horse dewormer and and any form of early treatment was forbidden. They changed the definition of herd immunity and completely removed any mention of natural immunity and said natural immunity doesn't exist when we've known about it for over 2000 years it's even in the first year curriculum for epidemiology and virology. The law prohibits the mandate of any experimental technology and yet they're threatening to take away the freedoms of anyone who refuses or wants more information before getting it , the side effects are still mostly unknown and long term safety hasn't even been studied in fact during the tests they removed the placebo group entirely by giving them the vaccines which eliminates the ability to accurately determine long term risk. This is an example of exactly how a government will overblow a narrative to ensure compliance if you think global warming and many of the other policies they've put in place weren't similarly malicious you aren't looking closely enough.

If not for the clouds you couldnt see the tornado but doesnt mean its not there. Storm chasers use the phrase "spinning up" because thats what they do. Offten you see the dust and dirt spin up before the clouds come down. So you think about modern cars you have lots of aluminum these acid batteries that all burns very hot you want to make it a hybrid lets toss 10 gal of gas on that. If that doesnt get her burning hot I bet a little magnesium will get her going. All those materials are there and they can burn 2k °F !! thats hot. So what kind of weather are we having during firnado? Probably very hot dry everything is already 100 °F its late season the upper air is always cooler. Ripe for a tornado if you add up those conditions it should be reasonable to have a firenado. I believe they may have had firnados in the winter during WW2 bombing cities starting fires. The bombs where nothing but the fires they started destroyed everything. I believe they have some firenados too. Tornados are everywhere you see them over the ocean spinning up water or in fields spinning up dirt called dirt devils and the big ones all work the same way.

    Multiple factors, makes sense. I would like to see this on a related to average temp chart showing us where we are in the cycle. Also, curious why the news only talks about one factor, C02. Which I agree is a factor but also agree it is not the only factor.

      Because of the its magnitude. These natural cycles take centuries and centuries to occur; what humans have done in a little over a century is unprecedented and absolutely dwarfs these cycles. Secondly, in these natural cycles, a small temperature change causes a small change in CO2, which builds up to starting/ending ice ages. Man caused climate change is the opposite - we've dumped gigatons of CO2 in to the air and this is causing the warming we're seeing. However, the earth is a giant system. Like a boulder, it doesn't move instantly.

      Intergralacial periods most of the times last about 10k to 15k years. The previous interglacial period was around 100k years ago. But sometimes interglacial periods last much longer (40k to 50k years). It seems that the current interglacial period (even if we never burned fossil fuels) would last for another 40k years.

      @@johnzach2057 That variable was invented by the global warming alarmists . The interglacial period is about 20,000 years and very consistent (citing ice core data).. The last interglacial period began about 10,000 years ago. We are almost exactly at the cusp. Global temperatures are about to begin declining any time now. The effect of added CO2 in the atmosphere MAY delay this cooling period by a few hundred years at the most, according to all climate scientists who are NOT paid by liberals to lie to us.

    So it is possible, that today's global warming we experiencing is caused because of (at least one of the reasons) Milankovitch Cycle, and that it is preludium to next ice age? What do you think of it?

    • @ItsJustAstronomical
      @ItsJustAstronomical  5 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      The time scales for the Milankovitch cycles are hundreds of thousands of years. So this shouldn't have much of any effect over the climate of the past century. There's an interesting and depressing book called "The Life and Death of Planet Earth" by Ward and Brownlee that talks about this. They say that we'll run out of fossil fuels within the next few centuries and the ice ages will eventually return, but we're talking about very long time periods here.

      John Zach I really doubt that. It’s crystal clear that earth have been warming last couple of hundreds years. There is no scientific proof of how much if any of the warming is from said gases, or what is the human contribution to all of this. All you have are computer models (not science) and failed hypothesises.

    One thing you didn’t mention is atmospheric conditions due to volcanic eruptions, such as this years Tonga eruption resulted in record floods never seen before. 3 record flooding events in 8 months. And that’s just in Australia alone. This has an impact on temperature, which in turn affects when the next ice age will come.
