MsCherade9 do you realize that if we entirely cut off all fossil fuel power generation and shut down all of our nuclear plants, like many 2020 us presidential canidates suggest, that our best clean energy solutions are wind and solar. Both are very inefficient and will not work all the time ie, cloudy days/windless days. We would need giant battery farms. Using america as an example, the east coast has alot of trees, solar farms dont work in the shade, wind cant blow efficiently through the trees. We would need to cut down many trees for that. Also since the technology is inefficient we would need alot of these power generation types. Now just do that all over the world you get my point. Im no expert but thats common sense. Nuclear energy is the best option for “clean” energy. Until our other clean energy technologies get more advanced it is not possible to achieve the goals that activist want. Until nuclear fusion power is readily available we have to use fossil fuels.
@@ltok4695 Trees are definitely part of the agenda and are a major way of reducing CO2. Wind and solar do not need to destroy any trees, and very rarely significantly do. The major cause of deforestation is agricultural expansion. If everyone would have one meatless day a week, it would have a huge impact.

The climate changes. My father has a master’s in Geology and has pulled core samples of rock and soil that show periods of severe cooling and warming in the environment. The problem is it’s been politicized by totalitarian greed.
Bare hands rubbing all over the samples, plates from their microwave lunches, awful. You can't just analyze the air, either; it's been in contact with the water for all that time, and there's been an exchange between them.
"We can do this, I know we can." "We can, but will we?" I'll be thinking about this video while I'm merking people for drinking water in our hellscape future.
Wishful thinking. Of course we won't do it. Humans always wait until a major catastrophe which causes them problems directly before taking action against it. And no world leader is going to sign off on something that hurts their economy and costs billions of dollars but won't have any visible effect until well after their term is over. For humans, if it doesn't benefit us soon, we won't bother doing something.
if the climate change solution was a ridiculous ambitious endeavor like pumping excess ocean into the Sahara it would be much more fun to work on fixing... and the oil will dry up anyway

I always thought a possibility was when the old ice melts it would release rich air into our atmosphere and possibly helping us out a bit. The pollution needs to stop regardless.
It will release those ancient air, but at the same time the rising temp will also increase water vapor in the air which is another potent greenhouse gas. And we know what happens when the air is very humid, high precipitation rate and stronger more frequent storm comes next.
that's actually one of the dangers of climate change. Ancient "novel" pathogenic micro-organisms can resurrect from being released from trapped ancient ice. nice..
Nope. You can make water by mixing an acid and an alakali and it won't be billions years old obviously. The same goes for magmatic water, it's pretty young
"We have to put aside all of our political differences. The health and wellbeing of the planet is so much more important than anything else." Thank you, Sir!
@w9j15g It may be possible to get away from using fossil fuels, but the solutions currently proposed do not work and would bankrupt our economy. The only source of power that could realistically replace fossil fuels is nuclear power. Either nuclear fusion or nuclear fission. Nuclear fusion would be the best option, but it may be a long time before that technology can be developed. Nuclear fission is already something that can be done, but we still need to solve problems such as dealing nuclear waste. Either we need cleaner nuclear power plants that don't produce it, or we need a better way to dispose of it. Once that issue is sorted out, we could build enough nuclear power plants to provide all of our energy needs. That would not only not bankrupt our economy, it would likely stimulate it. All while being much friendlier to the environment. Solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal power are useful in some cases. They work well in some specific locations, but they cannot provide more than a small fraction of our energy needs. So the people proposing replacing fossil fuels with them are either out of their minds, or are not serious about solving the problem. Likely their agenda is political in nature rather than environmental. And since this is completely obvious to any sensible person, those people are currently being ignored.
@w9j15g Either the goal is to get away from fossil fuels or it isn't. And I'm not suggesting sitting on our hands. I'm suggesting doing something that could actually work. Not to waste trillions of dollars on something that can't possibly work. And I'm in no way underestimating what solar can do. It can work rather well in a few small cases. But it cannot even come close to providing for our nation's or any other nation's energy needs. Try doing rooftop solar in New York City and tell me how that works. It's a completely moronic idea. Nuclear works anywhere, and natural gas is cheaper and cleaner than any other fossil fuel. So it's definitely an improvement. Officials are probably against solar because it's expensive to implement, and doesn't produce much power. They actually care if a proposed solution works. The reason people like fossil fuels has nothing to do with politics. Fossil fuels are a cheap and abundant energy source which can be implemented with existing technology. A big reason for that is the high energy density of fuels like gasoline. Because of these advantages, fossil fuels are very difficult to replace. An alternative has to provide a similar amount of power at a similar price. And nuclear power is the only option available to us that even comes close. We simply don't have the ability to produce the required power any other way. Propose things that actually work or no one is going to take you seriously. That's the bottom line.
@w9j15g I have never worked for the nuclear power industry or the fossil fuel industry. You clearly can't dispute anything I have said with facts, so you are trying some personal attack. This is exactly why you are not being taken seriously. Results don't matter. It's all about emotions. Nobody cares how you feel. They only care about how much they have to pay for electricity. When you can demonstrate that you are actually serious about solving problems, people will start to listen to you.
That’s the first explanation I’ve seen of a gas spectrometer. Amazing equipment. That curve that separates the constituents is brilliant in it’s (relative) simplicity!

@@kudosu3037 science also includes "theories". The big bang is a theory. The theory of relativity basically states that something can not be true nor false until it has be observed.
I'd need more tests for this. One piece of ice has too many variables and situations that could make that specific air different. Not saying it's wrong but many tests need to be conducted to get a accurate reading
Very convincing stuff. My question is, how do we date the ice? I understand about counting the layers, but how do we know the top layer is current? Could it not be 20 years old or older, recently melted and re-frozen? How about the really old ice? How do we date that?
PBS Eons just published a video about how Antarctica used to be green back during the early Eocene, which I imagine would set a hard limit on the age of ice cores we can get. 55mya would be the early Eocene, so is that the farthest we can go? How far back into the past have we dug down? Have we found older samples that might contradict Eons? Edit: Not sure what happened, but this comment got posted multiple times. I swear upon my ergonomic keyboard I'm not trying to spam
Good question! The oldest ice core I know of is 2.7 million years old. Because of bedrock heating and glacial flow, we likely can't find ice cores dating much farther back in time than that. To go back THAT far, scientists use isotopes in fossil marine organisms as a way to estimate ancient ocean temperatures. Those estimates go back as far as 500-600 MYA
@Chris Jamieson he just finished saying the oldest sample was 2.5 million years old, my guy. Even if what you said was true, the concentration of gasses in the ice you've mentioned would still tell us about the atmosphere at the time compared to now.
@Chris Jamieson On average world temperature has increases pretty reliably mostly due to human pollution, this is testable fact and stubborn ignorance to ignore it
Because scientists have life outside lab and prefer to live in a cities, not ice caves. This causes major universities to be in cities. Aka. this is where the labs are and this is why the ice is transported there
@@takethepowerback83 Not all of them have the funding and the labs to perform needed experiments. Even if they did, if this field of research is interesting, other, more southern universities will be interested to hire facility for such research, especially as it's related to climate change.

@@philiproler5572 I assume humans are the cause of extinction of all life on the planet going all the way back to dinosaur era. There was hundreds of species that went extinction before us and many thought out the human life, to think humans are the cause of all extinction is silly ,infact many animals are still alive today and not extinct because of humans. Every animal and person will live their life to their fullest, expecting civilization to regress to add 5-50 year onto the human life isn't going to happen.

It's so fundamental in my mind. We have taken trillions of tons of matter out of the inside of the earth, burned it as fuel(s), and most of the waste went into the atmosphere. A large portion was also contributed by animal farming. Some lesser portion went back to ground, nearly all in not good ways. All that is that going to change the earth on the scale that we have been doing this. I could not imagine any way that is *not* possible.

We gotta learn the basics, start from inorganic chemistry and make our way to organic chemistry. If I were 13 and taught this I wouldn’t understand how they got to this, you know what I mean?
I love these videos that explain how the science is done. So much better than some person saying ‘we know what we are doing’. People like to follow the steps.
This is bullshit though. Same studies have been done and they found the exact opposite. Scientists just publish what they are paid to find. Climate change is another scam. No proof or even real evidence to suggest it is real or a threat.
This seems very compelling evidence. Why do I feel like we are missing the counter argument? And what will be the effect of this climate change? Will it be catastrophe or not so bad? Thanks
There isn't really a counter argument to climate change.. all scientists agree on it, there is even consensus on the consensus on agreement. It's fact. How bad it will get depends on what we do NOW. There isn't much time left to act, and if we don't then the possibilities are endless for what will happen.
I recently watched a video about ice cores from Greenland in which the claim of the CO2 and temperature record is opposite of what they say in this video. It reminds me of the battle of the PhD’s. In this corner there are PhD’s that claim climate change is man-made, the world is at it’s warmest point and life on earth is facing an existential threat. In the other corner there are a whole bunch of PhD’s that say a whole different story about the climate, the effects of CO2 and aren’t worried for the future of the earth and it’s inhabitants. Why should I believe the fearful story of a very negative future and not believe the scientists that make a very convincing review of the science that is much more positive for the future? It’s like the one group of PhD’s is trying to say “mine is bigger than yours”! I’m losing interest in the alarmist arm waving group.

I think there's little debate that temperatures are rising. Over the course of millions of years, the temperature has fluctuated greatly without any human causality. The average temperature has been much warmer than at present time. I think the biggest question, is why?
The greenhouse effect has been understood for well over 100 years. It makes perfect sense that humans pumping CO2 into the atmosphere at extreme rates would raise global temperatures.
CO2 follows temperature, we know that just before the ice ages CO2 levels peaked but did not prevent ice ages. I have a few other examples but the new one is GHG's at night, to whatever degree GHG's help increase atmospheric temperatures during the day they equally help cool the planet at night. This means only the peak temperatures are effected NOT the average (warmer days and colder nights). They are a gateway for IR energy transfer and interactions with kinetic molecular energy (temperature) in non-GHG's through convection.
And it's not like the oil companies don't know either they lead the first research and it was pretty accurate but they were told to keep their mouth shut
Personally I think in terms of western society we are already pretty effective at relatively being low in the output of carbon. The problem arises with newly emerging economies that are only just beginning to industrialise and produce which means outputting a lot of carbon. This should be a global effort and instead of pointing fingers maybe superpowers such as the US and UK should help these economies by helping them become more efficient.
@@plederfagella9774 therein lies the dilemma. The solution would be energy derived from renewable or green processed/sources. Energy derived from a product (coal/oil/gas) is finite and is associated with pollution either in how it’s mined, processed, used, or all of the above. Oil/coal/gas are a dying technology but those who control it would much rather line their pockets with money as they poison the only planet they have ever had the privilege of calling home. Be cool. It doesn’t end there, democracies pushing to oust these tech companies by taxing them heavily and providing subsidies to green tech companies have been lied to by politicians who are beholden to lobbyists and the corporations they represent.

I know this may be a dumb question but in my mind there are no dumb questions but do you think over the years the taste of the ice has changed in any sort of way?
Hi mate, he who asks a question is a fool for a second but he who doesn't ask questions is a fool for life. Different ice would taste different in different regions and areas due to the mineral composition and stuff like that anyway. But if you're talking about ice in a consistent spot over the eras then yes definitely for similar reasons. We see layers of rock and the broader makeup of the land change over time and all of that makes its way into the water. Hope that helps?
Yes! The ice or the “ice composition” and the air trapped within changes as it gets buried and buried. It changes with the effects of gravity, atomic mass differences for the different gases and many other factors that are all taken into account when dating the core
The air pockets are probably way too tiny to smell at once because theyll just be mixed into the air as they melt slowly into the molecules in the air already so i think it would be unnoticeable. It definetly would smell different though i bet. But idk that for sure
Nevermind the fact that the entire climate has thrown wild ass mood swings the entirety of the existence of everything that we know of. Yet we constantly try to get the climate to take a knee for us like we matter to nature
A question that I always asked myself: Is there no way that the ice could've melted so that we don't have data for that hot period? Would we 100% see that?
Yes, there is no way (if I understand your question right). The ice melts and will automatically set all gasses free ... all of them ... And this is not done once, it's done multiple times with multiple ice chunks from the same time period. You could technically do that yourself, if you where somehow able to get your hands on the equpiment and the ice.
it really pisses me off when my mother says 'its cold out today, so much for global warming'. I've explained so many times on an instantaneous point you can't tell the difference right now, but ON AVERAGE, its much warmer. and there's tons of stats to show it. every year we have 'warmest day' or 'hottest summer' ever records. Every. Year.
Interesting. I live in Athens, Greece and you made me check the recorded temperatures for Athens between years 1897 - 2012. For average max temps for this period October 1932 was the warmest of all this 115-year period at 24.5C. January 1936 registered the av max temp for this 115-year period at 13.45C. And yes, July of 2012 had the max av for the whole 115-year period at 31.70C. This summer, 2020, for the WHOLE summer we didn't have to use the aircondition for more than 3 days in a row at my summer home 40Km outside the city. I can only say I don't see any pattern here.

It will release those ancient air, but at the same time the rising temp will also increase water vapor in the air which is another potent greenhouse gas. And we know what happens when the air is very humid, high precipitation rate and stronger more frequent storm comes next.

@w9j15g
It may be possible to get away from using fossil fuels, but the solutions currently proposed do not work and would bankrupt our economy. The only source of power that could realistically replace fossil fuels is nuclear power. Either nuclear fusion or nuclear fission. Nuclear fusion would be the best option, but it may be a long time before that technology can be developed. Nuclear fission is already something that can be done, but we still need to solve problems such as dealing nuclear waste. Either we need cleaner nuclear power plants that don't produce it, or we need a better way to dispose of it. Once that issue is sorted out, we could build enough nuclear power plants to provide all of our energy needs. That would not only not bankrupt our economy, it would likely stimulate it. All while being much friendlier to the environment. Solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal power are useful in some cases. They work well in some specific locations, but they cannot provide more than a small fraction of our energy needs. So the people proposing replacing fossil fuels with them are either out of their minds, or are not serious about solving the problem. Likely their agenda is political in nature rather than environmental. And since this is completely obvious to any sensible person, those people are currently being ignored.
@w9j15g
Either the goal is to get away from fossil fuels or it isn't. And I'm not suggesting sitting on our hands. I'm suggesting doing something that could actually work. Not to waste trillions of dollars on something that can't possibly work. And I'm in no way underestimating what solar can do. It can work rather well in a few small cases. But it cannot even come close to providing for our nation's or any other nation's energy needs. Try doing rooftop solar in New York City and tell me how that works. It's a completely moronic idea. Nuclear works anywhere, and natural gas is cheaper and cleaner than any other fossil fuel. So it's definitely an improvement. Officials are probably against solar because it's expensive to implement, and doesn't produce much power. They actually care if a proposed solution works.
The reason people like fossil fuels has nothing to do with politics. Fossil fuels are a cheap and abundant energy source which can be implemented with existing technology. A big reason for that is the high energy density of fuels like gasoline. Because of these advantages, fossil fuels are very difficult to replace. An alternative has to provide a similar amount of power at a similar price. And nuclear power is the only option available to us that even comes close. We simply don't have the ability to produce the required power any other way. Propose things that actually work or no one is going to take you seriously. That's the bottom line.
@w9j15g
I have never worked for the nuclear power industry or the fossil fuel industry. You clearly can't dispute anything I have said with facts, so you are trying some personal attack. This is exactly why you are not being taken seriously. Results don't matter. It's all about emotions. Nobody cares how you feel. They only care about how much they have to pay for electricity.

Have we found older samples that might contradict Eons?
Edit: Not sure what happened, but this comment got posted multiple times. I swear upon my ergonomic keyboard I'm not trying to spam
Good question! The oldest ice core I know of is 2.7 million years old. Because of bedrock heating and glacial flow, we likely can't find ice cores dating much farther back in time than that.

A large portion was also contributed by animal farming. Some lesser portion went back to ground, nearly all in not good ways. All that is that going to change the earth on the scale that we have been doing this. I could not imagine any way that is *not* possible.
The vast unimaginably large Global Sea has a BILLION BILLION times the enthalpy of the atmosphere and controls all weather irrespective of a trace CO2 gas more rare than Xenon.
_The same mechanism that allows CO2 to 'trap' black body infrared radiation and reflect it back to Earth, ALSO allows CO2 to 'trap' incoming solar infrared radiation and reflect it back to Space!_ Use your brain! Don't be a noob.
We have done this for a really short period of time. The earth's climate has been changing much longer than that. It's a power grab.
@@robertmarmaduke9721 just the amount of energy needed to raise the temp of the globe is beyond man. Physics.

It’s so wild seeing a video about this after having discussed this exact thing in Historical Geology
I love these videos that explain how the science is done. So much better than some person saying ‘we know what we are doing’. People like to follow the steps.
This is bullshit though. Same studies have been done and they found the exact opposite. Scientists just publish what they are paid to find. Climate change is another scam. No proof or even real evidence to suggest it is real or a threat.
I would like to think that we as humans will do something about this, however by the time we do start doing something it will be too late.
You can start doing something today.

This seems very compelling evidence. Why do I feel like we are missing the counter argument? And what will be the effect of this climate change? Will it be catastrophe or not so bad? Thanks
There isn't really a counter argument to climate change.. all scientists agree on it, there is even consensus on the consensus on agreement. It's fact. How bad it will get depends on what we do NOW. There isn't much time left to act, and if we don't then the possibilities are endless for what will happen.
@@alien9279 lol they have said that for over 4 decades at this point, the goal post just keeps getting moved as they are proven wrong.
Lol this a 40 year old talking point that has never been true
Question.. wont we adapt to climate change? Isn't that what darwin thought us? We shall evolve accordingly.
@@alien9279 actually it isn't agreed upon by all scientists.
I recently watched a video about ice cores from Greenland in which the claim of the CO2 and temperature record is opposite of what they say in this video. It reminds me of the battle of the PhD’s. In this corner there are PhD’s that claim climate change is man-made, the world is at it’s warmest point and life on earth is facing an existential threat. In the other corner there are a whole bunch of PhD’s that say a whole different story about the climate, the effects of CO2 and aren’t worried for the future of the earth and it’s inhabitants. Why should I believe the fearful story of a very negative future and not believe the scientists that make a very convincing review of the science that is much more positive for the future? It’s like the one group of PhD’s is trying to say “mine is bigger than yours”! I’m losing interest in the alarmist arm waving group.
Politics and money have influenced the outcomes of global warmi.. I mean climate change studies.

Earth not dying... humans maybe... but not earth. The sun will consume earth long after humans are gone. No need to worry.
I was hearing that as „Ice-o-topes“ first XD
Bad joke man... i'm gonna give ya the "cold" shoulder for that one :P
They were both making dad jokes with it.
I like how simple the scientist was and how briefly he explained it.
Tell me, what did he explain? Where did he prove CO² is the cause of global warming?
I think there's little debate that temperatures are rising. Over the course of millions of years, the temperature has fluctuated greatly without any human causality. The average temperature has been much warmer than at present time. I think the biggest question, is why?
The greenhouse effect has been understood for well over 100 years. It makes perfect sense that humans pumping CO2 into the atmosphere at extreme rates would raise global temperatures.
CO2 follows temperature, we know that just before the ice ages CO2 levels peaked but did not prevent ice ages. I have a few other examples but the new one is GHG's at night, to whatever degree GHG's help increase atmospheric temperatures during the day they equally help cool the planet at night. This means only the peak temperatures are effected NOT the average (warmer days and colder nights). They are a gateway for IR energy transfer and interactions with kinetic molecular energy (temperature) in non-GHG's through convection.
You dont 'know'.. you theorise
@@kazthamc58 I do know that absorption and emission are equal for any molecule. That is undeniable.
@@1965ace 'We know that just before the ice age CO2 levels peaked'... The pride of your heart deceives you
@@kazthamc58 Better look in the mirror my friend there are other stronger forces in play.
@@1965ace You cant admit that you dont 'know' what the CO2 levels where before the ice age but you are in fact theorising
Honestly most of us dont need proof it’s real, we just need to find a way to slow it down
And it's not like the oil companies don't know either they lead the first research and it was pretty accurate but they were told to keep their mouth shut
Personally I think in terms of western society we are already pretty effective at relatively being low in the output of carbon. The problem arises with newly emerging economies that are only just beginning to industrialise and produce which means outputting a lot of carbon. This should be a global effort and instead of pointing fingers maybe superpowers such as the US and UK should help these economies by helping them become more efficient.
I mean why should we stop them developing just as we have. We should help them help the environment whilst doing it that’s all
Then again I suppose it still is our fault because a lot of our stuff is imported for cheap from these newly emerging industry in these countries
@@plederfagella9774 therein lies the dilemma.
The solution would be energy derived from renewable or green processed/sources.
Energy derived from a product (coal/oil/gas) is finite and is associated with pollution either in how it’s mined, processed, used, or all of the above. Oil/coal/gas are a dying technology but those who control it would much rather line their pockets with money as they poison the only planet they have ever had the privilege of calling home. Be cool.
It doesn’t end there, democracies pushing to oust these tech companies by taxing them heavily and providing subsidies to green tech companies have been lied to by politicians who are beholden to lobbyists and the corporations they represent.
The job of the politician is to confuse the public on what is real and what isn’t.
Thus the reason why “proof” is essential. And education. School is the answer. Be cool. Stay in it.
I don't need proof for that because I am not blind or dumb! The climate has changed drastically over just 27 years of my life!
True. however you should not put too much emphasis on anecdotal evidence because not only is it orders of magnitude statistically weaker than scientific studies, but is also subject to cognitive flaws amd biases
"I dont need proof... I'm not dumb."
The irony here...
I live not far from the sea for almost 50 years. And the level of water stay the same like as i was a child. But i don't know the other parts of the world.

I know this may be a dumb question but in my mind there are no dumb questions but do you think over the years the taste of the ice has changed in any sort of way?
Hi mate, he who asks a question is a fool for a second but he who doesn't ask questions is a fool for life.
Different ice would taste different in different regions and areas due to the mineral composition and stuff like that anyway. But if you're talking about ice in a consistent spot over the eras then yes definitely for similar reasons. We see layers of rock and the broader makeup of the land change over time and all of that makes its way into the water. Hope that helps?
@@markjackson6151 This is how ppl online should treat each other. 😊
@@markjackson6151 dude respect to the way you replied
Yes! The ice or the “ice composition” and the air trapped within changes as it gets buried and buried. It changes with the effects of gravity, atomic mass differences for the different gases and many other factors that are all taken into account when dating the core

question does the air smell different I'd like to know
The air pockets are probably way too tiny to smell at once because theyll just be mixed into the air as they melt slowly into the molecules in the air already so i think it would be unnoticeable. It definetly would smell different though i bet. But idk that for sure
Nevermind the fact that the entire climate has thrown wild ass mood swings the entirety of the existence of everything that we know of. Yet we constantly try to get the climate to take a knee for us like we matter to nature
I choose you as my favorite show before this video, now I know that I did the right choice!
A question that I always asked myself:
Is there no way that the ice could've melted so that we don't have data for that hot period?
Would we 100% see that?
Yes, there is no way (if I understand your question right).
The ice melts and will automatically set all gasses free ... all of them ...
And this is not done once, it's done multiple times with multiple ice chunks from the same time period.
You could technically do that yourself, if you where somehow able to get your hands on the equpiment and the ice.
Good question.
it really pisses me off when my mother says 'its cold out today, so much for global warming'. I've explained so many times on an instantaneous point you can't tell the difference right now, but ON AVERAGE, its much warmer. and there's tons of stats to show it. every year we have 'warmest day' or 'hottest summer' ever records. Every. Year.
Interesting. I live in Athens, Greece and you made me check the recorded temperatures for Athens between years 1897 - 2012. For average max temps for this period October 1932 was the warmest of all this 115-year period at 24.5C. January 1936 registered the av max temp for this 115-year period at 13.45C. And yes, July of 2012 had the max av for the whole 115-year period at 31.70C. This summer, 2020, for the WHOLE summer we didn't have to use the aircondition for more than 3 days in a row at my summer home 40Km outside the city. I can only say I don't see any pattern here.
