  • What causes the Erath to freeze is the influx of massive amounts of fresh water dumped into the oceans. It stops the ocean currents from moving and slows down and changes the weather in the atmosphere and the inner depths of oceans. It prevents ultimately the Earth from heating the ice and snow in the cooler areas of the planet, like in London; aka London Fog !

  • @RubenRMunoz Okay, thanks, appreciate it.

  • Snowball Earth will not happen, Global Warming already started

  • @lueljohn Wish I could be so confident... worthwhile watching the whole series. Try watching Pt.1/2 and see what the late Russian climate modeller Mikhail Budyko worked out as far as tipping points are concerned.

  • To all of you, there is no such thing as scientific fact. Everything is a theory because knowledge is not absolute. Gravity is still a theory, you know. Look it up.

    But this theory has an abundance of counter-evidence, as convincing as it sounds in this documentary.

  • "it is the point of no return" heard that 3 times now! try using another damn cliche.

  • @hotboyclarence I give up on you - you're just too smart for a dumbass like me.

  • Respond to this video... And, I really have nothing against GLTG people. live and let live. so, enjoy your alternative life style, Ma'am (or should I say, "Sir")

  • @vjwebster It is sad that some one is rude enough to admit it, but not being apologetic for it. You are so full of hatred for anyone and anything that dismisses your "life style," e.g., religion. That hatred has made you unpleasant, rude and illogical. But of course, if BBC--a news organization, says it in a commercial film made to sell TV advertisement, in your small mind, it must be true. You would make a great church preacher with your type of dogmatic self-righteousness.

  • @vjwebster Ms., just because something is "peer" (viz friends) reviewed, it does not become a fact, but a theory, until logical water tight evidence is provided to support it. So, in your 'expert' opinion, where did 50 million years worth of carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide belched out by earth's volcanos go, if not into the atmosphere to create a greenhouse world? In absence of an ocean or the bare soil to absorb them, these greenhouse gases would accumulate in the air, melting the world

  • @hotboyclarence ... and you weren't questioning anything - you were just dismissing it out of hand, just like the Pope did to early enlightenment scientists like Galilei and Giordano Bruno. Just out of interest, how much (if anything) about you did I get right?. ... if I deduced incorrectly - on very thin evidence I must admit - that would please me and I would then be prepared to apologize. Oh, and I almost forgot - your assumption that I am a rude man is incorrect. Rude, yes. Man, no.

  • @hotboyclarence You have dismissed peer-reviewed scientists' hypothoses with a blanket declaration that they are stupid. Unlike you, they are aware that there would be no accumulation of CO2 in the virtual absence of life (apart from cyanobacteria which don't produce CO2 - they consume it) or volcanic activity. It was only when the latter recommenced that CO2 levels rose again. Your proclamation, with its combination of certainty, arrogance and ignorance, reminds one of an evangelical preacher
