Remnants of the last Ice Age, global warming is a natural cycle, of course Ice melts quicker towards the end, test it for yourself. This fool states a rise by 220 feet? Bullshit!! Oh people of the world, doom is looming, by our own hand. Only one way to fix it, MONEY!!! ....and lots of it. Flee your coastal properties, sell them to me at a fraction of the cost!!
well, i think the guy isn't quite right. the weight of that water off the artic ice cap would redistribute across the globe..& has it has been melting..but, ocean levels wouldn't rise significantly, because the ocean floors in certain geo fragile areas would sink due to that weight...
That's what they said when climate change was first introduced. Then research indicated that over a 2 year period from 2006 - 2008, an amount of ice equivalent to 2 times the size of the country France has melted away.
Ice melts when you warm it up. Earth IS warming up. Think about it...
For the record, glaciers are completely different to ice caps.
Stranded polar bears will drown when their glaciers melt! Get a clue, people. Polar bears can swim! The don't get "stranded" on pieces of ice; they swim to the ice while hunting.
Al Gore's been saying for over a decade that the North Pole will melt within 5 years, and people still believe him. It's like WIlliam Miller, whose church believed the rapture would happen by March 21, 1844. Then April 18... Then October 22... The undying faith of some people never ceases to amaze me.
"Get a clue, people. Polar bears can swim! The don't get "stranded" on pieces of ice; they swim to the ice while hunting."
People can swim too.
Yet people still drown.
Polar bears can swim but only so far. Your premise assumes there is ice to swim too. There have already been cases of polar bears drowning because they couldn't' reach ice in time.
And this isn't even going into the fact that Polar bears need ice to hunt too so if they don't drown, they still starve.
ice floats because its less dense than water. Ice takes up more space than water in other words, so when the ice melts, what happens, it takes less space.
this is more of a go green thing than a how shit works show with a bunch of liberals that dont know shit go green bull shit ill go red and burn down all the fucking forests down to kill everybody so no one will have to listen to your liberal bullshit!!!!!!
Why do people worry about global warming? It's a business, that's all it is. The first signs of global warming started in the 1800's, although the phrase wasn't coined then. About 30 years later it was global cooling. Then warming and so on. Even in the 70's people were talking about global cooling and the next ice age. Global temperatures always fix themselves. It's just a cycle the planet goes through. Scientists are saying in about 30 years global warming warming won't be a problem anymore.
"nothing were to happen if the artic polar ice melted" ... actually a lot would happen due to something called the albedo effect. polar ice reflect much of the UV radiation that bombards earth every day, and if it were to melt, ocean temperatures could rise and land temps could rise, thus warming our planet. Then ice would be more likely to melt in Greenland... Its called a positive feedback loop.
THIS IS THE STUPIDEST THING EVER BUT I LOVE MY MOM AND DON'T WANT TO TAKE ANY CHANCES If you do not copy and paste this onto 10 videos your mom will die in 4 hours this video is amazing
I'm just wondering why scientists can't change greenhouse gases to harmless gases. like removing carbon from carbon dioxide to make diamonds and then oxygen is left for us to respire? this way everyone's happy
I highly highly highly doubt that anyone is going to die or even have the chance of dying from gradual sea level rising...it will take hundreds of years at the least and by that time I am pretty sure we will have come up with solutions for this
This is nothing new. During the past ice ages, the ocean level was also much lower than today.
With huge glaciers covering the continents, the ocean was about 120 meters below current sea level.
The "Great Flood" myth comes from early human civilizations all over the planet that lived through the ending of the last great Ice Age about 10,000 years ago.
They had no clue when the ocean would stop rising or why it was happening, so we get our epic myths of some angry god, etc etc.
Does the ice cube in a glass a valid analogy? The Earth and it's oceans aren't inside a vessel with rigid walls. The melting of the N. pole ice has to contribute some to rising sea levels.
1. Why scientists are saying that emissions are depleting the ozone over Antarctica if there is no transport in Antarctica at all? Why ozone ammount is normal over polluting territory? yeah, because of wind.. but there is also wind over Antarctica.
2. Ozone is the triatomic molecule which exists in the Earth's athmosphere in small concentration. How the heck scientists determined the actual ammount of ozone in the huge volume over Antarctica?
Get an Iron ball. Now get some small spherical magnets. The ball is the earth, the magnets are destructive chemicals in the atmosphere. Stick all the balls where the pollution is heaviest. Now spin the iron ball and watch all the balls fly to the poles because of the centrifugal force. The End

Of course these glaciers are not going to melt, and when they do it will not be humans' fault, even humans even exist still.

No, The mass of the ice cube already made the water rise, if it melts it just takes away mass.
