Nice film, but a problem is the dramatic ice-front -- the icesheet would have looked like that. Its maximum height would probably have been miles back from the icefront, with a gradual slope back, not the dramatic 90 degree ice-face shown here.
Hi Wade... the "front" you are referring to is a bisected glacier to show the height, not the terminus. Perhaps we should have made this clearer. The shot looking up the river with the castle in the foreground is a more accurate representation of the terminus as the glacier receded.
I did as you asked and answered the questions. Then came the question about the ice lost on Antarctica and Greenland but both of those places are gaining ice. Yes climate changes but it has always done that. If we look at the last 200 Ma the recent 3.2 have been the coldest including today. WE live in an Ice Age. And yes Hippos swam the Thames 130 000 years ago when it was warmer than today during the Eemian interglacial period. So let us be happy we live in a warmer moment of this ongoing Ice Age because MUCH colder would have been the normal, especially closer to the poles than today, for most of the last 3.2 Ma. Even during the interglacial we live in today trees have been growing much closer to the poles and much higher up the mountains than today would be possible. Just two little things about the video. When you project the Ice sheet could you also please lower sea level by 120 meter. And maybe you could mention that Scotland is still rebounding from the weight of the ice sheet just like places like Sweden where sea level is falling if you compare it to the land mass. Greetings Robert
Robert, don't we just live in an early part of an interglacial so comparing warmer interglacial temps can always be done up until the end of an interglacial? I'm just saying if it's been warming for the last 20,000 which is generally when the last ice age was considered to have ended, why do you consider it not to have? I'm just not sure it could be hotter is a great argument when it will get much hotter in most of our lifetimes at a far more rapid pace than previous humans had to cope with.
@@ducthman4737 btw, I asked because I thought perhaps you were a scientist. then you sent me a link to wikipedia as reference and some guy's website. neither of these are studies or what I consider reliable evidence, but it's fine. I should expect such things in youtube comments section.
@@ducthman4737 btw, I do not live in a big city and our temps have changed drastically in the last decade, but yes I am aware of the heat island effect it just doesn't apply where I'm at.
@@ducthman4737 feels like you didn't read this article that clearly states the graph is mislabeled and shows years before 1950 and not present, and further talks about people conflating temps in Greenland with global temps. Reference some actual peer reviewed studies on global temps if you're trying to convince me.
Glaciers freeze and melt in a natural rhythm over thousands of years, but the melt we see today (and the environmental impact) is unprecedented and caused by humans.
@@Marvin-dg8vj What is unprecedented is the speed and cause of the warming. There have been previous warming periods but they were part of the natural cycle where such events need hundreds or even thousands of years, not a few decades as is happening now. Do you think there were also periods in the past when the world was polluted with microplastics to be found in fish, animals, and the depths of the oceans?! Your argument is like looking at the forest blown down by a meteorite in Tunguska and comparing it with the deforestation of the Amazon: "It's happened before naturally, so what's the problem now if it's been done by humans?"
@@collieclone you need to keep up with the science.Severe and rapid temperature changes both ways have occurred over the last 100,000 years as have dramatic sea level changes
So interesting to actually see the glacier cut to show the modern world in comparison to its icy past. Gives a much better sense of its sheer size.
Very fascinating and the effort and research put into this video is to be commended
So 1km of ice on Dundee just 15,000 years ago. And we are in a panic about a tiny changes we have little control over.
Great work!
Beautiful!! Thank you.
Important and interesting work...and welcome to Minnesota
Excellent and very interesting
Quite incredible
Excellent

@@ducthman4737 they changed it from global warming to climate change because idiots kept saying shit like, "winter's still cold."

Where is the view at 1:40?
Как он смог растаять? Значит все-таки не совсем люди влияют на ледники?
Конечно нет и как он смог найти этот ледник в километр высотой
Interesting, also interesting accent.
Ecosse
So the monument on the law was under ice
It is difficult to imagine the amount of carbon emissions of ancient people, which was able to melt a kilometer thick of ice.
They must've got tired of freezing their asses off

@@kjduncan1 no it is not unprecedented and the precedent was in the Paleolithic and Bronze age where the climate was warmer than now

That’s not a glacier. This is a glacier. Lol.

Охренеть, конечно.
Where was Greta
OMG Have global warming done that?
I stop use my car, fly and buy stuff to save the earth. ;)
