BC’s giant landslide serves as warning for other parts of the world 

Only difference is science offers a unique understanding of human involvement in regards to the frequency of these events over time. This human history has difficulty seeing science as science, rather than magic.

@@melioristicone333 humans also seem to have difficulty seeing their arrogance at the thought they have something major to do with climate change. They don’t.

@@1Nanerz they don't? I am so tired of hearing this. So many in this world dedicate their finances and time in this life to become doctors, or legitimately obtain multiple degrees to make a difference in this world. And then there is people such as yourself, engaging in public discourse under RU-vid videos to push a false narrative, whether you know it or not to be a false narrative is moot. Enjoy all the technological and scientific wonders that are sold to you. Just don't listen to the people who absolutely know better. Thanks for sharing your opinion, that's all it is. An opinion. It's unfortunate Dunning Kruger effect simpletons dominate the planet and the narrative.

@@melioristicone333 lol! We’ve all seen how the term “expert” is useless over the last two years. For climate we need to be looking at 1000 year windows and larger. CO2 emissions have been way higher on this planet numerous times and it was just fine. Pollution on the other hand? Yes it’s a problem. But government taxation to force reduced consumption will not cure the problems you seek to cure. Green tech is not green either. Abundant cheap energy will cure many of these problems but the environmental nutbars are trying to stop that. It’s like these fools want to go back to an agrarian society. It’s not going to happen.

@@1Nanerzwhat is this we stuff you speak of. It appears to me that you're under the impression everyone has the same perspective, you're far from correct. Our conversation should prove that to you, otherwise we wouldn't be having it. Enjoy your cognitive dissonance. We simply don't see the world the same. Nor do we have to

That's why there are so many floods in Australia so many of our towns and cities grew up around river flood plains in the 19th century when the rivers were the roads, by they only effect about 1% of the population. The trouble is that they are such lush and fertile places to live that it is worth putting up with the floods and the people in those regions make such great friends and neighbors.

I don't think majority realize just how much water is about to be displaced. What isn't permenantly flooded is still going to be flood plains. Mass earthquakes. Everywhere. Techtonic Plates in tension will release that tension, water pressure on land (inland and coastal) will pop volcanoes like pimples. 100 meter tsunamis if not bigger, Steam mass methane extremely Inhospitable environment. EVERYWHERE. Really the stuff of nightmares and if the hostel environment doesn't get you the hostles will.

@@jimw4337 it said in the report that no one was in the area

@@canadaclub8920 and how would there know....

@@jimw4337 through inductive reasoning

Yeah, pretty sure thats a big exaggeration......more like 20

​@@will7its Likely not an exaggeration. It's a simple question of volume. If you don't have a wide enough basin, like the video said, the only direction to displace the water is vertically. Theres a great precedent for massive landslides into bodies of water causing mega-tsunamis, especially when that water is confined.

@@jr1648 Its the news, look at the trees, 20 meters at most

@@will7its Its difficult to get an idea from just looking at the footage. You have to remember that sediment fills the channels that have been carved by the flow. Also, floodwaters dissipate in capacity and depth over time, so when they say 100M, thats likely the peak wave height at the point where the landslide hit the water. So unless you're familiar with the geography of the entire valley, just looking at the video, it's impossible to tell what part of the valley they were recording (with the exception of the landslide area which was obvious). It's very likely that by the time the flow reached the base of the valley, it's height had greatly subsided. I'm just saying that a 100M flood in a confined valley isn't unheard of.

How many glaciers between Norway and Nepal???

Yes that was caused by the poor sighting of that dam, which caused underlying ground water to push The Valley side up. In an attempt to alleviate the problem the reservoir behind the dam was ‘drained’ which basically undermined any support The Valley sides had and caused them to collapse into the reservoir. Such was the force of the landslide the whole reservoir was emptied in matter of seconds..

@@malcolmyoung7866 I used to live in Montreale Valcellina and would drive by the dam on the way to ski or kiteboard. Incredible area for both beauty, and the devastation it caused.

Lituya bay had a 1720 ft fall mega tsunami back in 1958.

It is always accelerated by rain.

and how do you think faster melting glaciers effect erosion?

@@stiimuli Glaciers are part of the erosion process. Either as frozen rivers of ice that grind the rocks to powder or by melting as rivers that wash the rocks down the mountain while grinding them together to make sand. For the last several million years we have had 100,000 year cycles of ice ages with 80 thousand years of ice followed by 20 thousand years of global warming. We are currently reaching the end of a warm period and heading back into an ice age.

@@stiimuli Glaciers are an exceptionally poor indicator for a "global" weather phenomenon. A glacier is the result of melting factors and factors that add frozen material. "Accelerated" melting of glaciers in the Himalayas has started in the 1500s, while in the 1800s the glaciers in the Alps were growing so fast that they endangered settlements that had never before seen any ice. Each glacier has it's own set of rules / factors determining its development. If a glacier is accelerating or slowing down erosion depends largely on the local topology and the type of rock involved.

​@@f.d.6667 You might have a point if scientists were only looking at a single glacier or group of glaciers over a short, isolated time period rather than all ice bodies on the entire planet over very long time periods. Not to mention all the other data points being tracked like direct surface and satellite measurements of land, ocean and atmospheric temperatures over time, chemical composition and isotope ratios, ecological trends etc. Yes, each glacier is influenced by differing local factors but they are also influenced by global ones. There's a reason for the worldwide scientific consensus about what is happening.

@@graemejohnson9025 The planet is a tiny ball in space. If you can't see all the manmade environmental degradation all around then it is you who is a fart.

Why are there so many pre-emptive comments about how this has always been happening? Did anyone ask? Like we know it's been happening over the billions of years the earth has been around...lmao we're not slow. It's because climate change is making it happen faster, but big oil propaganda has you brainwashed it isn't, so you feel the need to say "it's always been happening" on every video that threatens your brainwashed mind.

@@juanofthecross Maybe I'm wrong but I found out this is not the first time it happened in Leyte. I remember there's a school burried with hundreds of students in it and some were even texting to save them cuz they're burried in the mud inside the school. That was a couple years ago. We should open our eyes to climate change. In one video it shows the island sliced and gradually eroding and melting. I grew up in Panay surrounded by mountains. There's some landslides but no casualties because people don't build their houses at the footpart of the mountain. I warned my own sibling cuz he literally build a mountain resort on top of the mountains with tall hotels and swimming pools. He told me don't worry our mountains is rocky and built by strong foundation. But for me no one is immuned to climate change.

@@BestKCL Huh???

@@will7its They're dishing out accusations of "fearmongering" because what they're hearing makes them afraid. And instead of dealing with that fear in a healthy way, they throw out what's causing said fear, and tell themselves it can't be valid or real in any way. It's a defense mechanism to shield their psyche from an unpleasant stimulus. If you've ever seen the Avatar series, a good allegory for what I'm saying is the infamous line, "There is no war in Ba Sing Se."

That’s completely wrong. The regional cooling in the 17th Century was less the 1c, and it did not form glaciers. The contemporary glacial melting is caused by the additional heating from human emissions of green house gasses. Look at the data. This is just more parroting climate change denialism, expressed out of a psychological need to deny reality because the solutions are not compatible with perceived interests and political preferences.

@@Rnankn Yes, well then I guess you better go tell the archaeologists in Norway, that the artefacts that they found under the glacier are much older than the thirteenth century date they have put on them. You should take a look at "Unsettled" by Dr. Steve Koonin. It is a discussion about climate change, what is, and what isn't happening. Dr.Koonin was a member of the Obama administration.

@@leighchristopherson2455 @Leigh Christopherson You know I wouldn't take Koonin too seriously on the matter of climate change, he worked for BP oil for a few years prior to working during Obama's administration. Bit of a conflict of interest and seemingly left him prone to bias thereafter. He also has no formal specialization in climate science being more specialized in theoretical physics, computational physics and alternative energy/nuclear energy where he is quite knowlegable from what I've seen but as for climate change has taken a staunch contrarian approach which is fine and can be healthy except he cherry picks data when doing so, ignores wider contexts and contributing factors, skews statistics and makes large leaps in logic to reach conclusions or just leaves things vague, and has since been debunked by his peers on the topic and his booked panned by critics for cherry picking data as I mentioned while ignoring replicable studies. Also beyond being the undersecretary of science for the Secretary of Energy during Obama's administration where he was more of an advisor again specializing more in alternative energy than climate change itself. In 2019 he was going to be on Trumps administration for a presidential committee where koonin was co selecting committee members for a public "adversarial" debate on climate change but later had it changed to an advisory group not as subject to public disclosure, none of that panned out in the end I believe but still left a massive impact on how that administration handled the issue. All in all without dissecting the book he can be a brilliant scientist but isn't intellectually honest when it comes to climate change and I personally suspect that has something to do with his original position at BP oil and energy sectors but that's merely me guessing to be fair. The science on climate change is ever expanding and broadening our understanding of its effects and scope and while it's not "settled" like Koonin claims the overwhelming consensus is that it is real, it is impacted by humans and the effects can be severe, with review studies of published scientific papers finding between 99%-100% of all papers studied to conclude in favor of climate change rather than sceptical. Sorry for the long reply I couldn't really condense it much more, while still hitting my main points.

@@UndeadGary tldr

Hi de ho! So right you are!

I don't have a government speak for yourself please.

Was it a hydroelectric dam? I wonder how much money it cost to build and how useful it might have been.

@@BlackJesus8463 no the dam was not hydroelectric dam was simply there for irrigation and water supply for the Township and gold prospecting. It cost an enormous amount of money at the time it was very well made because the structure is still there today. With cattle feeding on the grass where the water should be right up to the dam wall the cows can actually look over the wall when they are eating the grass. Because the people were told it took millions of years for the granite to wear down. This is absolutely incorrect as a friend of mine had a huge granite boulder put in his front yard and they bolted a letterbox to it within 10 years it had already broken into pieces

@@brianholloway1451 Must be some of the best soil around huh.

@@BlackJesus8463 sometimes landslides do not have the best material as you need quite a lot of clay usually to have a good landslide or rocks. But yes if it's in the right place you certainly would have some nice soil as long as it lands on your place.

@@brianholloway1451 You said silt not landslide. It's ok though I've heard enough.

It displaces the water...

The glacier itself didn't. A landslide in the absence of a usually supporting glacier did. That said, there are plenty of videos on RU-vid showing how glacial calving can cause really big waves.

Some people actually find stories like this interesting. Besides many natural disasters have happened before and now are happening more often. Such as extreme drought, flood, forest fire, hurricanes, heat waves, etc. Except now the cause is primarily the human burning of fossil fuels which is warming the planet causing glaciers to melt and avalanches like this happen more often as well increasing the likelihood of all those other things that I mentioned.!

Fall of a motorcycle 'only' doing 110mph....you may view the speed differently....

The climate has been stable for 10000 years, and abrupt warming is a recent phenomenon. Removing the atmospheric carbon and restoring the ice will take hundreds of thousands of years. So future ice ages aren’t really relevant, when the planet is now hotter than it has ever been in the entire existence of our species.

I think in general the use of tsunami, simply indicates wave caused by earth movment. Every wave that comes into a harbour, would be a harbour wave....tsunami is caused by a fault shift. I would agree that we usually would reserve tsunami for an ocean event, but the gist is a massive wave with a cause that is not wind/weather related.

And put up more signs........

You just listened to a 2:28 clip of what science has to say. Not sure I get your point.

A tsunami is a series of waves in a water body caused by the displacement of a large volume of water, generally in an ocean or a large lake. Or Oxford: an arrival or occurrence of something in overwhelming quantities or amounts. Sometimes the literal translation of a foreign word doesn't carry through to all uses in a different language. Further, if we are being pedantic, "harbour wave" could mean literally any wave that occurs in a harbour... which obviously isn't how the word is ever used in English. Hell, that literal sense isn't even how the word is used in Japan

Do you have a special name that fits better for a landslide on the coast of a lake that caused a 100 metre tall catastrophic wave to emanate from that lake and continue downstream where it was previously just streams? Because tsunami fits perfectly as a descriptor of what happened if you have the cognitive capacity to get over that one word in the definition that didn't fit, and update the definition accordingly.

@@dawggonevidz9140 I suggest you contact Encyclopedia Britannica to update their definition.
