  • even if all the ice melts, the oceans will not increase more than a foot because the oceans are that massive.

  • ice above sea level is insignificant to the size of the oceans. it would be like dropping a snow ball in a bucket of water. the water will rise that much. the water will fall from submerged ice. global warming is a fear-mongering scam to get people to pay taxes to goldman sachs and al gore. climategate denial is like holocaust denial.

  • tip of the iceberg. the oceans will not rise. they'll actually fall because water has more density than ice.

  • What evidence do you have to back up that claim that north pole ice could be gone during the summer months as early as 2040? That is a ridiculous claim.

    What evidence do you have that the sun isn't causing these changes? Unless you can disprove the theories about the sun causing the climate changes I suggest you start to teach your lessons with both versions.

  • it is called summer and winter. it melts during the summer and freezes during the winter. the stuff melting on television is filmed during the summer. it is pure propaganda. polar bears swim hundreds of miles to hunt seals and small whales.

  • @bweazel well check out believersunderground yt videos. i hope they let me post this.

  • Missing ice at the north pole means shorter routes and less energy to travel other countries.

  • and if the water is salt water ?? and the ice on top has no salt in it ??. salt water is denser than fresh water. adding more fresh water to salt water expands the volume. So even floating ice if it is on top of salt water it will raise water levels . Can you show this experiment please ?

  • I would like to see an experiment where a rise in 1 degree from -51 below to -50 below melts ice.

  • I was expecting him to drag out a big cylinder of CO2 and start pumping the room full of it. He uses a lamp. Wait, that's supposed to represent the sun, right? I thought CO2 is totally to blame?

    I wonder if during the end of the ice age if people were going nuts thinking the world was ending cause the sea level was rising?

  • Paul D. says: I bet the people living along the coast were impressed at the end of the last ice age when sea level rose over 100 feet.

  • Antarctica has an ice dome 14000 ft tall. It weighs so much it has pushed the land level down to 2000 ft below sea level. Even if the land doesn't rebound when the weight is removed, that leaves a 12,000 ft pile of ice the size of a continent to run off into the ocean.

    Greenland is going to melt first.

  • Much of the antartic land is 3000m below sea level so that in effect 3000m of the ice is floating and is the same as the artic ice.

  • Land ice to effect sea levels must be elevated above sea level.

  • More falsehoods.Define land ice

  • I second that.

  • Good video, very informative thanks
