@@DonCDXX Volume of ice: 158'000 km3 Volume of converted water (ratio 0.92): 148'000 km3 Surface of oceans: 361 million km2 Added height = Volume/Surface height = 148'000/361'000'000 (unit will be km by simplification of units). = 148/361 (Unit is now meter as I put the factor 1000 inside from the km unit) = 0.40m = 40cm. All oceans are connected so Surface of oceans is the correct denominator. Volume of ice on earth is an upperbound as not all ice is connected to oceans and not all ice is going to melt. So I also saw your answer on google from US.gov but some math ain't mathing here. What could explain a bigger rise is thermal expansion of the ocean water. This would represent roughly 80cm per °C. But that is not the topic.
@@ZipMapp You're definitely trying to think your way through this so I mean no disrespect when I say this, but I suspect there's a problem with your calculations. I'm going to do the calculations for all land ice melting under the assumption of a full carboniferous level co2 level. Antarctica has about 30 mil km3 and Greenland has about 3 mil km3 of ice. The oceans are about 1.3 bil km3 of water. For ease of calculation, we'll just have ice expansion and thermal expansion of water cancel out. That's about a 2% increase in ocean volume. Not massive but not trivial. If we don't get into the details on topography and do a lazy estimate on ocean depth, a 2% increase in volume translated directly to a 2% increase in depth (average ocean depth being 3.6 km) gives us about 70m of additional depth. There's obviously a lot more complexity to it, but this seems like a fair rough estimate. 70m extra depth while rounding down on almost every part of the calculation.
This was posted 9 years ago. An Inconvenient Truth is over 20 years old. So, it’s already too late. I guess we should just stop worrying about it. No point spending what little time left worrying about something we can’t stop. Which is what \people think when you use hyperbolic statements.
Okay, from a purely scientific standpoint, we’re not in this scenario YET… but it won’t be long if we don’t act fast. Basically, with the advent of CO2 storage/containment facilities - to take out the CO2 already in the atmosphere (since it just stays there once it’s up there, that’s where the warming comes from) - we’ve bought ourselves a little more time, but only if we expand them and underwater agriculture/grazing fast.
There was this one show of george carlin, where he says we humans are far too arrogant to think we can save the earth. The earth can heal itself. We are selfish beings. We are not doing all this to save the earth. We are doing this to save our own skin. Maybe it is high time human beings go extinct. Good riddance really! Its appalling the level of damage we have already done. Let other species who though simple, atleast know how to live in harmony with nature.
When he said, "the person has already been born that will die from climate catastrophe", did you think he meant that person would die before the age 10? The estimate for when things start getting really bad is between 2050 and 2100. That's the beginning of serious repercussions according to actual peer reviewed research papers.
This is fictional. The conditions being created by climate change have existed before, and there was plenty of life then, more plant life than there is now. People will die, but extinction is not a serious concern when it comes to climate change.
@@DeNorsemen I understand that, but it obviously will be sustainable. People will die in the process, and that is tragic but the collective causes of climate change save more lives than climate change will take. Climate change will increase plant life and create more forest and farmable land. I feel terrible for the people who will be negatively affected, but far more will be positively affected.
@@michaelwalsh601 lol thats not how that works kiddo. We already have water shortages making it hard for this fantasy “more plant life” of yours to exist…parts of the world are becoming inhabitable for humans meaning they will migrate where water is…further depleting water sources. Meaning even less water to grow food. You seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding of how things work. The time frames you are referring too weren’t overrun by humans with factories polluting and taking massive amounts of resources. Look up how much water is used to create a micro-chip and how farming is becoming scarce. Your comparing normal climate change to human driven climate change. Apples to oranges…its literally what scientists are trying to explain to people like you, the data is against you.
It’s now 420-425 ppm (the number varies seasonally) and the amount of yearly increase keeps increasing. And the delay from co2 to heating effect is 5-20 years, meaning that the warming we’re experiencing now in 2024 comes from the co2 levels referenced in this 9 year old video. The situation really is this dire.
Is this really true? Is it too late? I wouldn't be that surprised, but Jesus... I'm filled with dread. I wanted to maybe have kids one day but fucking forget it if this is true.
Yes its true. Notice how the earth breaks a heat record every year now? Whole cities are having water crises? The earth will live forever, it is a ball of molten metal spinning in space, but humans will not be able to survive in the unstable environment we have helped create
Sure everything he said a decade ago came to pass, but we all know this climate is biased. We’re going go found a new planet and that should give us 50 more years. Sound good?
Every day, another climate disaster. Every day. The planet is attacking itself and people are dying. Every day. And the response is like an old guy who comes out of a storm cellar, house in ruins, and says to his wife, “Nothing to see here ma. Ain’t it grand the wind stopped blowing.”
Ok, let's assume the world is doomed. Would it be possible for me to enjoy myself till that day comes? As in, no issues, right? We can just continue working. If it's not reversible, so.....we can just forget about it. That's just my opinion. Love to everyone on the planet. 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Anthropogenic climate change is real. But the world is not doomed, it is not like it is going to be the end of mankind or anything. Will it cause problems in the future? Yes it most certainly will and people will die from it. But we as a species are resilient and we have plenty of ways to mitigate the effects it will cause.
The best thing that Aaron Sorkin ever did was make it canon that the entire cast of The Newsroom died horrible deaths in the climate apocalypse after the show ended.
It took a fake news program to give you very fucking serious data which shows that George Carlin was completely right: "The Planet is fine; the People are fucked."
THIS. This is EXACTLY what I have been saying is the situation we are in. But most of humanity is just so blindingly optimistic that we do token actions the equivalent of putting out a forest fire by peeing on it. Many born today may not have to worry about growing old and infirm. They may not make it past 40.
Doesn’t work that way. Situation is horrible and dire, but it can always get more horrible. So polluting less helps prevent abysmally horrible, and keep us at dire and horrible. And it’s not linear, so the worse it gets is an order of magnitude more worse.
loloololol, so far left bullcrap propaganda from holleywood. Same kind of propgaganda that scientists from Germany, the best scientists in the world, who said jews were diseased, truth the science
Is anything in nature consistent? Btw plants love CO2 and it’s good for most things. We will be fine, panic only results in gov spending with no result
@@Flyguy9yes actually, a ton of nature is very consistent. that’s why when a weather pattern that has always taken 100,000 years happens in about 20, scientists raise the alarm and do research and experiments to confirm that it’s us.
@@AdderallAscension yes because we’ve been measuring weather for 100,000 years… It’s all guesswork with some geology. Thinking we know everything is what’s killing science
When a accomplished scientists answers the question "Are you going to get in trouble for telling us this" with "Who cares"...be terrified. Because at that point, he/she has nothing left to lose.
