How do we stop it though? Humans never stopped an active volcano before... folks are talking about CO2 but how can we inject it into the volcano? Does CO2 stop volcanos? Scary stuff and no one is talking about real solutions.
Majority of people live near the coasts and our economy depends on marine transportation. A 3m rise in sea level would render most of our coastal infrastructure useless. Which means even if you live on himalayas you'll be affected by it.
Hurricane Katrina rendered coastal infrastructure useless from New Orleans to Pensacola Fl. As soon as this happened we all waived the white towels and gave up our homes and businesses. No one lives in those cities today. We lost. It’s over.
Remember when everyone was inside for like 2 weeks and how much air pollution went down? Remember the people of India could see Himalayan mountains for the first time in like 25 years? What happened to that? I would like a habitable world for my grand children and yours.
Cameron's Videos Oh, hilariously dimwitted people thinking humans will live Mars in a couple of generations. People will not live in Mars in centuries if lucky. Probably never. Focus in surving in this planet for the next ten generations.
I live in Miami and for my entire life we've been drilled on climate change and how it would effect the world and us, I'd lose my home and everything I've ever loved about my city, along with millions of other people who would also lose their homes from the same problem, I'm just becoming an adult and honestly have no idea how to really make a difference beyond reducing my own emissions, feels so helpless..
I’m so sorry you have to feel so helpless. It’s a terrible way to feel. But take heart-we (the scientists) still know so little about these things, they get it wrong all the time. Remember that Nobel Prize winner, Al Gore, his predictions have proven to be COMPLETELY WRONG. His mistake was making predictions that weren’t centuries away, so he was proven wrong before his Nobel prize even needed dusting.
The harsh reality is that for any significant change to occur, it depends on the combined efforts of the developed countries and major companies which is much easier said than done.
Countries: let’s solve climate change! Also countries: after you Btw I am just starting out with my channel and I would appreciate it if you checked it out
@@limbu13 I mean there's the problems with the Adani coal mine that the government needs to solve quickly yeah, but not enough people know that basically there are quite a few renewable energy projects happening or have already started in the country. The state I live in, NSW, already had a zero emissions target for 2050, so it's not like Australia is not doing anything, we just need to do more and quickly
@@rafirahman3856 yes that may be true but major strides are being taken to change that check out the clean energy counsel Australia it tells you the good and the bad
aaronison First off Earth is warming due to human activity. The debate is over. Now the debate is trying to fix it. Also let me ask you these questions. Yes Earth climate has changed in the past but tell me this: 1. What caused those changes? 2. How fast were they? 3. What were the impacts of that change? Just because Earths climate has always changed doesn’t mean the current warming is a threat to worry about. During the last interglacial period in the Emian 125,000 years ago. Earths temperature was 1-2°C warmer than today (today=1950 levels in PaloClimatology Earth was warmed 1°C so far since 1950 due human activity) and sea levels were 6m (18ft) higher than today. Now this didn’t immediately happen took thousands of years. But that’s one example on why past climate changes mean bad news for the current rapid global warming.
Pretty sure evidence has overwealmingly shown the sea isn’t rising at all, and I’m pretty sure there’s more glacier now than there was 5-10-20 years ago according to nasa. Also that ozone hole got smaller..... that’s why we stopped hearing about it. Global warming turned out to be a mad overreaction hence why Greta thunberg became a full blown anarchist the moment Antifa started throwing bricks at black businesses.
@@arnvpanda8042 oceanology is rarely ever used (and I just say rarely to give space for doubt), and scientists in that field of study are typically referred to as oceanographers, not oceanologists.
Or that property 2 miles inland becomes the new beachfront prime. According to 'scientists' in the 1960s major cities should have sunk by 2000. The past 2 years should have everyone asking 'What else have they lied about? How else do politicians change my behaviour without me knowing?'
@@Noallegiance right, because all scientists are a hivemind and agree on everything, and must all be liars because some of them are wrong sometimes. also they're the same thing as politicians for some reason. I think you're confused man
Watch the beginning of the video. It shows basically "half" of Antartica and says it contains enough ice to raise the ocean 3 meters. Then it says the glacier (which is just a very small part of that half) is in trouble. Oceans aren't going to rise 3 meters. They want to scare you. You want to be scared. Stop being so dramatic.
Well, they said that to become a Type 1 civilization, we must be able to see all of our planet's energy. That's what humans are doing without thinking about the consequences.
Mars isn't realy feasible in the long run. We might be able to send humans to Mars but at the expense of those people getting cancer. The atmosphere of Mars isn't the same as Earth so all of the solar radiation will hit humans way quicker than they would on earth. This *can* be mediaited by using lead but that becomes highly unfeasible knowing how thick the walls, roof, etc would have to be.
C02 is 0.04 % of the atmosphere and one of the least volatile greenhouse gases, accounting for an estimated 0.001% of warming. The mediaeval warm period was hotter than today. The rate at which it is getting warmer is also not unprecedented. The phenomenon we are seeing is typical and predictable by understanding solar cycles in particular. Air pollution is a major problem such as when we were dumping cfcs in the ozone layer. According to NASA, the greatest side effect of dumping mass amounts of c02 in the air has been a greening of our planet through photosynthesis. Humans have a lot to be blamed for, global warming is not one of them.
@randomguy8196 its not about living on mars. Its just that when we will see few humans traveling at a speed of thousands of miles per second for 6 months covering 100+ million km , landing on it for the first time and seeing two moons and blue sunset. These are the things that gives me goosebumps
The biggest problem about sea level rise is nobody knows when it’s actually going to happen as “scientists” have been claiming it’s gonna happen for decades but all the same beaches and coastlines are still here and unchanged.
Same can be said about the Amazon Rainforest. Claudio Villas Boas quoted a study claiming that the Amazon Rainforest would be decimated by the year 2000. Fortunately, he was wrong.
I imagine history books in a couple hundred years being like, “humans took way too long to recognize, admit, and fix climate change, and now because of it, this city that used to be called Miami no longer exists.”
I think they left with that optimistic music as a hope. I mean you can't just keep giving bad news one after the other. We need music to heal too! Btw What is the name of outro music?
@@Dubdsy That is a problem, some islands and areas near water, for example florida, would lose billions of homes and buildings, and the reason for this is because the climate is warming up, which eventually will get to the point where earth is unlivable in certain areas.
we are progressing erosion & evolution faster then nature does in a span of thousands of year instead all that could be consequential in just a hundred years or less. Point is we are changing mother earths landscape at a rapid pace with this burning gases into our atmosphere
aaronison while that is true do note during the ice age there wasn’t many humans and they did have major cities everywhere. We are warming Earth so fast we may not be able to adapt to it. But that’s centuries away. Until the meantime we’ll just see more extreme weather
Eh, most likely not. But people seem to get some weird kind of solace from thinking humans are evil and doomed. If you want to become an adult, read books like Apocalypse Never.
aaronison YES Earth has been warmer in the past. But that doesn’t mean the current global warming isn’t something to worry about. IT IS! Global Temperatures and CO2 levels are the highest in the at least the last million years. Also what caused Earth to be warmer in the past? The answer isn’t hard
It makes me sad that this realization has been around since the middle of the 20th century. There is a critical mass of people on the planet that are either incapable of understanding, unwilling to understand, or understand but don't care. I am afraid the solution to climate change is humanity's extinction. Was nice knowing everyone.
*Let's be real.* There's more than enough landmass left for people even if all of Antarctica melts; climate change ain't gonna be extincting anything that has to do with people.
@Toughen Up, Fluffy Biodiversity is the biological variety and variability of life on Earth. Biodiversity is a measure of variation at the genetic, species, and ecosystem level. Terrestrial biodiversity is usually greater near the equator, which is the result of the warm climate and high primary productivity. Biodiversity is not distributed evenly on Earth, and is richer in the tropics. These tropical forest ecosystems cover less than ten percent of earth's surface, and contain about ninety percent of the world's species. Marine biodiversity is usually higher along coasts in the Western Pacific, where sea surface temperature is highest, and in the mid-latitudinal band in all oceans. There are latitudinal gradients in species diversity. Biodiversity generally tends to cluster in hotspots, and has been increasing through time, but will be likely to slow in the future as a primary result of deforestation. It encompasses the evolutionary, ecological, and cultural processes that sustain life.Wikipedia
@@0w3nn The thing about manufacturing capacity is it will be built. If you think the only reason anyone will miss you is some material capacity you have a problem, be that as a person or as a country. I'd miss China for a lot of reasons except cheap electronics though x) not the CCP though... I wouldn't mind the CCP being gone one bit (unless of course it was replaced by something worse).

The ice-burg split due to seismic activity, not the cause of climate change, the Ice-burg cracked cause Antartica has a lot of seismic activity and In the passed weeks the whole world has been shaking deep below, have a plan in case of an earthquake we are overdue for an earthquake. The glacier is a sign of a possible earthquake don’t quote me on that
Cause the people who pollute the environment with those big factories and oil fields they are blinded with money and self concerned. They just wanna live their life better even if it damages the environment. They don't care about the future generations.
the amount of times i've heard "the way to slow/stop *insert catastrophic disaster* is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions" is absurd for literally no serious action to be taken
The richest, oil owners and the big landowners and mining companies that destroy carbon stocks, they're in the politicians. That's because we vote for the wrong politicians
@@theoguimaraes3148 yep and also biodiesel doesnt exist yet, nor is cheap yet, and its again just cheaper to use oil or coal instead of funding money into solar, current or nuclear power. It´s a world run on money and no country would voluntarily sacrifice their wealth for benefits theyd only see in 30 years, ridiculous but the way the world works
You know what I say?? Are you willing to sell your car amd start walking or running to work or biking to work? Are you willing to stop burning oil or coal to warm your home? Are you willing to take your home off the power grid? If you answer no to any or all these questions you're part of the problem like me. Thanks enjoy life
Even with all our technology and the inventions that make modern life so much easier than it once was, it takes just one big natural disaster to wipe all that away and remind us that, here on Earth, we're still at the mercy of nature.
This is not a natural disaster. This is a disaster we are making, in full awareness of the torture we're inflicting on ourselves (well, mostly on poor people who did the least to create the crisis) and our descendants.
It's not a natural disaster, it's caused by humans, global warming, eco-collapse and glacier retreats, if we had regulated our output, non of this would have gone this bad, we had done half way to the tipping point but we had slowed a bit down recently, but not fast enough, coal plants is being built and fossil fuel is still getting burnt
Yeah like those, but more cites will be submerged like Seattle, SF, L.A., San Diego, Houston, Rest of Florida, New York, Washington D.C, Philadelphia, and Boston *all gone.*
I'm not sure we can stop it. Most scientists believe we are past the point of no return. Even if all humans get exterminated the globe will continue to get hotter. Which means Antarctica will still melt and the oceans will still rise. Best we can do is slow it down and hope our future generations can cool the weather.
Why should we? Antarctica was a jungle long after dinosaurs went extinct and BEFORE humans. Cores drilled through Antarctic ice have proven this with NO doubt.
@@absurdandy4122 of course we can't stop it, it's happening naturally, as it has been for centuries, without any input from human activity. Man made global warming is a scam and a lie. It's been pushed by the same lunatics that 30 years ago they were pushing global cooling. Man made global warming is based on junk science. Period.
If you fill a glass with ice and water and the ice melts, does it overflow? If the ice is floating on the water, is it not displacing the same amount of water?
If glaciers were already *in* the ocean, that ignorant denialist lie would work. But glaciers are on land, melting and sliding towards the coast. Get it? Try this accurate analogy: if you fill a glass with water and then drop an ice cube into it, it displaces water and its level goes up.
While it is a great idea to keep earth as clean as possible and take care of it, the reason for doing that is not climate change. Until we advance to a type 1 civilisation we will have no control over this. Please stop blindly believing the media.
That’s funny because it’s estimated that there’s a large supply of natural resources underneath Antarctica because it used to be connected to Africa and a few other continents
AHAH The sea rise in Wellington, NZ, is +2.72mm/year and there is no speed increase. The trend is the same since maregraphes have been introduced in New Zeland in 1940
I'm from the Netherlands, so yeah i can share your concerns. More than half of our country including the 3 biggest cities including our capital would disappear..
@@ytancorbel1898 well to be fair the netherlands has planned for a sea level rise of a meter in 2040-2050 Even a 5m sea level rise would be doable, tho its cheaper to start cutting on emmisions ;)
considering the sheer size of the oceans, it's mind boggling just how much water is currently stored on top of Antarctica, that a glacier like this can raise the water levels that much.
It's clear we're impacting the climate, and may tip systems into cycles of change we can't predict, but the volume of ice and the suggested sea level rise in this video seem disproportionate.
Well, then, there are some scientific papers about that. Go read them, and all the maths behind. Or just watch the video from the people that actually read those.
It's because of the controversial nature of the subject, people in the know are realizing they can't tell the masses about what they find. If they sound the alarm and a politician disagrees with them it would destroy their careers, so you have to do research on a large scale in order to find the truth in this world today. The numbers don't add up because the Earth is doing all the heavy lifting right now and when it stops meaning when the ice breaks or melts off of the land it will increase the ocean mass . That's what is causing the calculations to be erroneous, it's going to be like throwing a softball in a five gallon bucket.
@@mismis3153I've read a lot. Which is why I think the math is off. We need to take climate change seriously, whatever its cause, but immutable facts are what's needed not vagueries.
ttt ttt do you realise we ARE in the 21st century? the 20th century was the 1900s. we will not be dead by the 21st century because we are in it, and it is a very real problem, don’t be a bystander.
And then boomers (Ellie) will come to take revenge from 21st century people.But then they will realize that due to their ineptmess and inaction is what has led to this moment (similar to how ellie realizes their is no cure because of her) and go back.
When you look at the ice on a map, I fail to see how even if it all melted that the projected rise in ocean levels can be anywhere near what keeps being said.
Brenda, I can assure you, that the math was done, and that the projected measurements are in fact true. If you drop a Florida sized chunk of anything in the ocean, sea levels are going to rise. If you still can’t see it, take a swim on the sidewalks of Miami in 100 years.
@@beamonaglizzy OK, but if you pluck up Florida, again, and hold over the Pacific Ocean, it's essentially NADA. I also live on Long Island and have seen how uch beach has disappeared. BUT, if you eyeball how uch of the globe is water vs ice vs land, I can't see it happening. Does ice NOT expand when it's on the ground?
@@nottherealben No, but I'd like to have it explained as to how the volume of ice will EXPAND THAT MUCH! You can eyeball it. Why didn't the scientists NOT make plastics?
Very much so. It's sad and worrying that the generations before us have exploited earth so ruthlessly, and we are the ones that need to work so very much to heal the effects of it all. But i think there is hope as long as everyone thinks so and does their part in all this. There is hope!
@@slavamurygin4849 it’s not the ice melting beneath water that is the problem. It’s the cavity that it leaves behind for larger chunk further in land to melt that is the issue. This is also the point the video tried to make
@@humpbacksquarepants5580 the ones that currently do, won't. And the co2 dissolving in the water would make it too acidic to swim in 50 years down the line (at the current rate of co2 emissions)
Where can i find the music you use for your videos? I really like the music on this one! Anyways thanks VOX for keep us up to date with the important news!
The UN itself can't force countries to do anything, it can write an angry letter but it doesn't have jurisdiction to force governments to do anything about climate change.
When I think about how close we are to the point of no return, I poop myself a little. Not even exaggerating that much. If things don't change quickly, the future will be terrifying.
if the world gets warmer, doesnt that mean places like northern canada would be habitable. and if ppl really wanted it to get colder, cant u just send off a bunch of nukes to make it colder
I still can’t help but think about the selfish people in this world who litter and don’t even take the advice to help stop climate change. If ur one of them, plz start making a change because the more energy efficient we are, the longer our civilization is going to live. ***I didn’t mean to sound rude sorry lol***
I've been to New York. Truth be told, it's the first time I've ever heard someone tell someone else in a public train to: "f-off and mind your own f-in' business"--outloud, in public, for everyone else in the train to hear. Extreme rudeness and lack of human compassion is a just reward for being covered by water. I'm sure New Yorkers will be okay, they're used to being tough; I wouldn't worry about them...or people in Miami. But we should definitely help those less fortunate people in Bangladesh and The Netherlands. ✓
What kind of comment is this…your basically disregarding everyone’s life in these cities and saying you wouldn’t mind seeing them suffer. That makes you equally as bad as that guy in the train
@kyle Reinhold no, 20% of the oxygen in the world does not come from the Amazon. The Amazon is actually pretty balanced, it consumes more or less the same amount of oxygen that it produces, what it does do is regulate the climate. Also I never said it was useless, just that it's not the only place in the world with trees. I actually come from Brazil and clearly know more about it than you
How can you say that when just 30 years ago they said “in 30 years there will be no more snow” but yet snow records around the world have been broken for the last few years???

Kids no longer care about investing in future generations, only consuming during their lifetime. If curiosity gets spread on platforms like Tik Tok there could be a movement but nature does not wait we have made grave mistakes and now we must take the consequences. Let's keep love high
Become extinct. That's a good start😂, but really I was just thinking about how so so many places on Earth have no water. How the people there desperately need water. On different levels of urgency of course. Is there a way we could take the increasing amount of water and bring it to the places that need it? Because in many places the lack of water means no food, which then in turn means starvation and death. Someone in a high place must've thought of this! The reason why none of it has happened is because all the governments are cheap and don't want to lose money. They'd rather their grandchildren and great grandchildren suffer!
If my understanding is correct, There’s more to worry about than just sea level rise, but also the salinity of the oceans will be affected as well as the oceans currents which will affect sea life and earths climate...
I live in Connecticut on the Long Island Sound. My neighbor from Taiwan, just the other day, had a friend who lives by a river in China, that is normally of a yellow color this means it's full of nutrients causing the crops to grow bountiful. Of late the River's water has become clear and the crops are not growing so well. I told her maybe the river is now getting enormous melt off from a glacier upstream. She also mentioned the sea water was not as salty.
I find it weird that americans can use anything to determine size (from foot to Florida), but can not use meters Vox: "2/3 the size of Manhattan" Me: ???

Born and raised in Miami in 1947. Fishing and boating are all I like to do, so I’m more than a little familiar with the coastline around Miami and the upper keys.
