Antartic Ice Melting

[manray17]

global warning is a hoax. this is what happens in late summer people!!

[CarbonCentral]

Clapping at the collapse of the earths precious eco system, i am ashamed at the depth of human stupidity.

[goog2k]

We can get off most fossil fuels within 20-30 years if we put a concerted effort into solar, wind, fuel cells, electric cars, algae biofuels, and new nuclear technologies.

We also need a new national smart power grid to move electricity.

We can use a carbon tax on fossil fuels to pay for it, and it'll provide millions of JOBS that can't be exported.

Europe & China are ALREADY doing this and America will lose out in future green energy technologies, if we don't.

We owe it to our grandchildren.

[goog2k]

@Thisawareness since you are a NWO neo-con WACKO, I will take your comments as a compliment.

Thanks.

BTW, Chinese per capita GHG emissions are 1/3 of the U.S. and they are becoming a leader in clean energy technologies.

America is losing out because of NWO neo-con wackos like you.

Duhh???

NEWS:

Methane Releases from Arctic Shelf May Be Much Larger and Faster Than Anticipated

NSF - March 4, 2010.

Research results, published in the March 5 edition of the journal Science, show that the permafrost under the East Siberian Arctic Shelf, long thought to be an impermeable barrier sealing in methane, is perforated and is starting to leak large amounts of methane into the atmosphere. Release of even a fraction of the methane stored in the shelf could trigger abrupt climate warming.

[Thisawareness]

@goog2k Hi Goof, you still peddling this post? If you really are concerned why don't you and your AGW Cult become exterminators and start killing a main source of Methane, Termites? I also hope you do not use Half & Half, cream, or milk because Cows give off allot of Methane also. I hope your not a hypocrite>

A hard part of the equation to fix would be the rice patty part, China, which is the main emiiter of GHGs, is not going to be carbon taxed

Do you eat Fried Rice?

[goog2k]

WHAT GLOBAL COOLING? LOL!!!

The combined global land and ocean average surface temperature for April 2010 was the WARMEST on record at 14.5°C (58.1°F), which is 0.76°C (1.37°F) above the 20th century average of 13.7°C (56.7°F).

The worldwide ocean surface temperature was 0.57°C (1.03°F) above the 20th century average of 16.0°C (60.9°F) and the WARMEST April on record. The warmth was most pronounced in the equatorial portions of the major oceans, especially the Atlantic. -- NOAA

LOL!!!

[AlminatorGeneral]

all the ice melts in the summer no matter if it is in antarctica or in sahara desert.

[vaishuchauhan]

i dont consider this as a beautiful video,,,this is a matter of concern as this is just the starting,,, if no steps are taken inorder to minimise the global warming,,the human race will extinct at the same speed as the ice is melting,,

[iamxeddiex]

wouldn't be cheering...

[7FrostFire]

Where do u find this stuff!? nobody told me i would have came to c it!:(

[goog2k]

Antarctic Glacier Thinning At Alarming Rate  ScienceDaily (Aug. 15, 2009) — The thinning of a gigantic glacier in Antarctica is accelerating, scientists report. The Pine Island Glacier in West Antarctica, which is around twice the size of Scotland, is losing ice four times as fast as it was a decade years ago.

[goog2k]

Lasers From Space Show Thinning Of Greenland And Antarctic Ice Sheets ScienceDaily (Sep. 24, 2009) — The most comprehensive picture of the rapidly thinning glaciers along the coastline of both the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets has been created using satellite lasers. The findings are an important step forward in the quest to make more accurate predictions for future sea level rise.

[drgreenmwdf]

@goog2k Can't wait for all that ice to melt away and have milder winters and longer growing seasons.

[freecoca]

this video shows a natural process, it has nothing to do with global warming.

anyway, you all shoud know that a company named barrick gold is now installing some industries that need the water from this and other glaciers, so they'll soon be gone.

instead of insulting all the tourists that are cheering a beautiful event, you should investigate how multinational companies are turning beautiful landscapes into hell.

fucking morons.

[freecoca]

it's not antarctic ice melting, it's an argentinian glacier placed in argentina's patagonia.

[carolily531]

@freecoca

Correct!!

[kiko0072]

it not a beautiful video. its a horrifying video and the people watching here are witnessing first hand the effects of global warming.

[7FrostFire]

lol

[Plane60]

All peoples clapping in that place are not human !

Hope they all will rot in hell for EVER !

[drgreenmwdf]

@Plane60 blah blah blah The earth is melting good, i don't want a ice age

[tetesosexy564]

wtf why the hell they clapping

[guiltyngiwats666]

they are watching the ice melts before their eyes and they are clapping and in seems to enjoy it...what a stupid reaction!!!!!

THEY ARE TOTALLY IGNORANT AND STUPID!!!!!

[N2B814]

You took the words out of my mouth.

[carcasion]

Good coment

[wkwickham13]

they are? really?

this glacier is GROWING and as it does , each year it grows out into a bay and completely blocks the inlet to the sea

each spring, the warmer bay punches a hole in the glacier and rushes out to sea

HENCE

a viewing platform! and all the tourists!

the video has nothing to do with global warming

[thegoodguy001]

the world has natural hotter and colder cycles and it shows that we are still in a semi ice age.  all this warming is crap this is nature working as it always has. WOULD THE SCIENTISTS BE MAKING SUCH A MAD PUFF IF THE WORLD WAS GETTING COLDER AND MY ANSWE IS YES BECAUSE GETTING COLDER WOULD BE JUST AS EXTREME AS GETTING WARMER

[BonkersBonnieRed]

The difference is the earth is changing temperature much fastter than it ever has, a temperature change generally takes thousands of years, this time it took 30 years.

[sophilianate]

why the hell are they clapping?

this video scares me.

and it is definatley not beautiful.

[J1CK3RZ]

@sophilianate global warmings a beautiful thing!

[CarbonCentral]

@sophilianate Good question, maybe the would clap at hostile aliens arriving also.

[FreeAgain2]

MYTH Mankind is pumping out carbon dioxide at a prodigious rate. FACT 96.5% of all carbon dioxide emissions are from natural sources, mankind is responsible for only 3.5%, with 0.6% coming from fuel to move vehicles, and about 1% from fuel to heat buildings.

Heat drives CO2 - fact.

CO2 drives heat - false.

Does not matter what ice caps do.

Earth is warmer - fact.

Scientists know why Earth is warmer - false. Too complicated at this point - 'feedbacks' remain unknown.

[27hoc84]

Are you a scientist do you have a doctorate in environmental studies and have gone and studied the CO2 levels over the millions of years in the ice sheets of the Arctic ? Its a shame we have people like you who take advantage of all the things that scientist have done to our lives and then who goes and says that scientist who collect hard credible evidence with all the right tools for them are big fat liers who just feel like saying something to get a kick out of it.

[FreeAgain2]

I am skeptical of AGW - at this point. The IPCC documents DO NOT DIRECTLY LINK CO2 to temp. IPCC has spent perhaps Billion$ in total modeling climate and yet their own models fail with Temps.

Scientists are good. Read Roy Spencer and his issues with clouds.

[btheman11]

i wish the big ice berg at the end crushed them all because they are watching are world being destroyed

[livedafuture]

why are people clapping

[anoniab]

This isn't the Antartic

[UglyMaleee]

amazing!

[rextantir]

name that music

[wkwickham]

ummm by the way guys - this glacier was expected to melt like this because it had grown so much that it blocked off another inlet bay

why do you think there was a crowd there waiting for it to happen?

duh

[wkwickham]

have you seen this post?

the only way we can save our world is by depopulation, and forced sterilization. sounds awful I know. But there are way too many people who do not contribute anything to society, and should be disposed of properly. People who just consume and don't give. we can start by applying the death sentence to so called lesser crimes, or test biological weapons in prisons. make the scum of the earth contribute to something.

[roboticnoface]

the music is soo beautiful

[Brownieelperro]

thats so beautifull, keep putting videos like this one!

[Avainparasite]

Not in Antarctica! But rather the Moreno glacier in Argentina.

[dimadragon]

spring in Norvegia not Antartic Ice Melting

[cookies636]

lol people dont wear shorts and t-shirts in the arctic and antarctic!

[senatorped]

If it wasn't melting, it would be growing and that would mean more water trapped in ice and less water for you and me. Do you people really think a cold, dry world is better than a warm, wet one?

[gerjanp]

This is the Moreno glacier in Argentina not the Antarctic and the ice is not melting. The glacier is calving because it is advancing i.e. more ice is continually being added up higher.

[blazm6]

its soo stupid people are clapping with hands and ice is melting they should be worried.

but great wideo 4 stars!!!!!!!:/

[mivoiosi]

i so agree, it's a pity

[guitaraddict4life]

there are no f'in trees like that in antartica its a fuckin desert

[runescaperocks8]

why are people clapping? it looks nice yes but is it really? no! this is really sad.

[BattsNeckDudes]

its not sad:

first its not antartica, if you payed any attetion to the background its not.

second its not "sad" its NORMAL! This always happens when spring time comes around.

third, they are clapping because its an amazing event in nature that only happens once a year.

and dont comment back to me saying you rude and im not rude im just saying so people will know its not antartica BUT antartic ice.

[runescaperocks8]

im not saying you're rude o.0 and i am rteplying back, but still its sad!

[b5201]

OMG you fucking morons. Since when were there crowds of 100s of people on wooden platforms in Antarctica? This is in Argentina where this happens every year, search ice bridge collapsing for the full thing without the lies in the description.

[flyingeagle2581]

u think that, that is beautiful. its horrible. our earth is melting and we cant stop it. in 100 years we will all be dead. ya thats beautiful

[Mike22288555]

o well i didnt plan on living to 120 anyway

[horacio90]

Is not antarctic ice!! This is Patagonian ice, in Argentina!! And this happenned every summer.

[b5201]

Why did some moron give you a thumbs down? I turned it back to 0 instead of -1. I think Ill find my dupe account and vote it up again.

[HardRokMiner]

Just goes to show you what a stupid species we are....they cheer as the planet is dying right in front of them!

[dougkeno]

i know your right what a bunch of ignorant people cheering while the earth is dying.

save the earth on with the green movement

[Slipperyjello4j]

the earth isn't dying right in front of them. imagine what people thought as the ice age happened. they probably thought the earth was  dying then. the video is about a natural occurrence that happens yearly, and is only the advancing of a glacier

[antihak]

wtf why r they cheering up?

[mercanaries3]

its called anal blazer

[MimzyMingiSakura19]

What's the music background called?

[Elin48]

We hear those that cheered, but I began to cry when seeing this...there were those kinds of people too....hopefully, many will get the connection, go back home and become more political.

[Slipperyjello4j]

relax, they are cheering because it is a natural occurrence in the spring. it is no more harmful than all the snow melting and flowers blooming in the early spring

[danielle0807]

save the ice

[PteromysVolans]

beutiful video...

it's so frustrating

[KinkyWrath]

Thank you for cheering what's going to fucking kill us one day

[traffordking]

why the fuk people in the video saying wow

[gun0862]

What they're cheering about? I bet they dont believe that global warming is exist. And become worst every year.

[jernzy]

Yeah! Wow! (???) Our only earth is warming but because human kind is so primitive and idiot so we all deserve our futur. People look no further that their noses.

Wait for India and China to become just like occident in matter of pollution it will me charming wow!

Thank you

[wastelandnow]

READ THIS COMMENTS! you guys are so dumb.. worse than stupid people, is stupid people with opinion.. geez

OhMyScience1 (2 months ago)

This isn´t in Antartic. This is Perito Moreno Glacier in Argentina.

yoruguabolso (1 month ago)

I believe in global warming, however this is glaciar perito moreno, and that ice that has fallen is naturaly built back every year, this is an event you could go and see each year, from the same tourist spot.

[vege22o]

somehow i doubt that 30+ ft of snow is built back every year.

[vivienchm]

why are they cheering?

and someone said 'wow' in this video.

wtf.

[whinknoll]

Amazing & so beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

[pandawat1]

wots there to cheer about

[lykeeze]

wheres abouts is this.. and is this something that happens everyyear or it the first time thats ever melted

[HWJ22A]

Why are those idiots cheering?

[tianbi]

Oh,it's a miracle.But i'm sad for the warming global

[wilsumerberge]

the ice is beutiful,,, not the melting

[HHHairGel]

why the fk do they make big cars? are ppl stupid? a regular car looks so much better anyways and theyre gona fk up this place

[MimzyMingiSakura19]

Al Gore is STUPID!!!!!

what music or song is this? i love it!!!!

I don't want the world to end or more water on the ocean, i don't want to see people under water in new york or china or other places.

[sjomling]

Well, that's exactly what Al Gore says, too.. ;)

[yoruguabolso]

I believe in global warming, however this is glaciar perito moreno, and that ice that has fallen is naturaly built back every year, this is an event you could go and see each year, from the same tourist spot.

[zepascalou]

Go and see Al Gore film first.

They should have been crying for such an incidence on the ice. This is revolting.

Should the future be less materialist to ensure the possibility to live this planet for thousands of years.

Stop the production of big cars now.

Learn to share, not to parade

[kokorcky]

I agree, nothing to clap about in this video.

[DarkTomte]

i like big cars, but they could use cyclic converter, or how it spells. AEROFUCKPLANES should quit cuz a long trip takes about 100 000 litres of fuel, and where it goes? right in the air above us. fuck ppl who go to warm countries with aeroplane.

[pornostarxxx]

this is the end of my country as i know it ( i live in malta. search about it and you'll know what i mean)

[scarlett61083]

The way I see it, global warming is definitely not man made, YET we have accelerated it somewhat, more pollution, deforestation, etc.. This is a cycle that has been going on since the birth or the planet and we cant stop it, we CAN help slow it down a bit though.. By the way, what the hell were these fucks clapping about? The fuck were they celebrating?!

[OhMyScience1]

This isn´t in Antartic. This is Perito Moreno Glacier in Argentina.

[blubai]

This is sappose to melt this fast within 20 years int his video it happen within 20 min... MY god could you image what it will be like in 2015...shit that alot of water... GOOD LUCK EVERYONE HOPEFULLY WE CAN ALL DESCUSE THIS ONE TIME IN THE FUTUR WHEN WERE ALL DEAD AND SENT TO HEAVEN

[obdandzigzag]

the reason there is a gathering for this is that it is an annual natural occurence. People travel to see this. I do not believe this is an affect of global warming as the ice builds back up again.

[drzz7]

The Iowa University reported Antartic is living the COOLEST period since 1975 !

Global Warmers just suck

[spinypine44]

globals warming sucks and these dumb peices of shit cheering over this makes me sick. Save our planet stop war world peace!!!

The lady at :25 should go kill herself

[leander75]

Hearing people cheering over destruction of their own planet is the disgusting..

Obviously South or North america have removed their safety labels for a bit too long.

Removing the safety labels is not a cure against stupidity. This is good proof of that.

Stop fucking up our planets you maggots.

[f66679]

I didn't know there was so much greenery in Antarctic...and all those people came to see this? I think maybe this is a yearly event in some other country eh?

[miambicman]

We must save this....it is our moral obligation...

[gelou123]

i don't think this is beautiful....i think we sould all be afraid of this...ice melting and global warming is killing us all....pff i reall cant ???unterstand u!!are u happy with that?>??how awfull!!!!

[anoniab]

gelou123-give it a few years, it will be back

[LughLongArm]

It happens in one part of the Glaciar Perito Moreno, very southern Argentina... Wonderful!!!

[extremeweatherguy]

this video proves nothing except for the fact that Glaciers frequently "calve". It really is not that uncommon..especially in the summer (when this video looks to have been taken). This really is not good proof for GW, but it is overall a cool video. Thanks for posting it!

[JcDizon]

Is that video located in Antarctica?

[nayellimier]

This is Perito Moreno Glacier... and it is in Argentina.

[Kurisu12741]

Yeah! this is very cool! stupid americans. i guess yall lazy fat asses are to blame. yall want to watch the destruction you are causing? fuck that. america is the hell of earth.

[DOUGHOWELL]

there is good and bad everywhere you go...but there's still more good...

[dougkeno]

hey listen i am american and i am totally for the green movement ok so those idiots in the video dont speak for all of us not even half of us

[dougkeno]

save the earth

[anoniab]

Kurisu12741-This has happened before; it's nothing new. It's The Perito Moreno Glacier and has ruptured in 2006, 2004, 1988, 1984, 1980, 1977, 1975, 1972, 1970, 1966, 1963, 1960, 1956, 1953, 1952, 1947, 1940, 1934 and 1917. It ruptures, on average, about every four to five years.

[martinfretwell]

i took me new girlfiend to see this, it helped to break the ice

[DOUGHOWELL]

good one

[uselogic]

This video is beautiful with the soundtrack. Thanks!

[jessy84das07]

why give up so easily, lol..pathetic....btw learn english first! you have grammer errors

[uselogic]

What's grammer?

[jessy84das07]

you keep saying i'm political...i gave you scientific fact...why cant you then? actually you need not answer that because it's clear you don't know any science...i doubt you even finish high school or even did science in high school...people like you need to be educated starting from simple GCSE science...its important to educate you because you are part of this society...leave the politics to the politicians!

[jessy84das07]

lol...cant you give any scientific knowledge rather than sky falling...unless you dont know any...man i think your only worth it to debate with a 12 year old

[jessy84das07]

when you have scientific proof to back up your little theory instead of saying "bad science"...i assume you dont know much about science...not even high school science...give me facts and figures and i'll debate...otherwise your just one of those lunatics who has know idea of what they are talking about

[jessy84das07]

seriously carmex...i wonder what you doing for a living...i work as a research scientist at a research institute and its main forcus is climate change.

why are you denaying science...you got a lot of nerves to denay and reject solid facts...debate this

[earthpains]

carmex

why are you so certain about YOUR hypotheses? Your so damn sure it's CO2 is not a problem. Why don't you try debating school children and see how far you get.

[earthpains]

BEAUTIFULif it wasn't so sad. there will be nothing left to watch for my children's children!! damn it!!

[jessy84das07]

when you take all this in i'll tell you about CO2 being evolved from the breakdown of organic matter

in soil from fuel used in spraying, harvesting and cultivation

use simple science to understand the bigger picture

[jessy84das07]

now how is coal formed? you should know that..when plants die over thousands of years it become part of the soil..now all the carbon dioxide absorbed from photosynthesis is traped as coal....when you burn it it relises co2....and i'm sure you know that coal is used as a fuel source

[jessy84das07]

maybe you didnt read my comment before properly. "global warming is natural...it happens whethere man exists or not...the presence of man is just speeding up its process...i'm not just talking about co".

Ok let me break things down for you...so its easier to understand...i'm sure you herd about photosynthesis..from your high school days...how does photosynthesis work?...plants take in carbon dioxide and reliesed oxygen...

[jessy84das07]

yo dude...y u stuck with co2

[jessy84das07]

global warming is natural...it happens whethere man exists or not...the presence of man is just speeding up its process...i'm not just talking about co2

[mosyo]

tommorrow will be very late :(

[negrolennon]

hi..im from argentina...this ice melting was in my country about 1 year ago...i dont know where you can find this videos...if i where you i call to that news...here i look for you a web page...tn-com-ar..ask here...

good luck

Ignacio from Rosario, Argentina

[lovuian]

Amazing

[voices32]

can i get this video? how? where?

if you can that'll help! i wanna put this

on a cd! plz and thnxs

[lubosoa]

wonderful and breath taking

[jessy84das07]

serious global warming!!!
