Antarctica’s Thwaites “Doomsday” Glacier | VOA Connect

“The sea levels don’t just rise around Antarctica — they rise everywhere.” He mentions this in case somebody watching this video is completely unfamiliar with how water works. 😂

Makes you realize how stupid war is... sigh.

I love how we believe that economy growth will come from the collapse of the human enterprise at this collosal scale.

We need an appreciation for science & less ignorant doubters thereof.

Beautiful to look at - ANTARCTICA

Waterworld was actually a documentary.

Very interesting really like this documentary.

Thank you.

Thanks for posting this. I am concerned about the West Antarctic ice sheet as well and between these two glaciers, we could see well over 5 m of ocean level rising in just the next 25 years that not even going to the end of the century.

Just heard this is Melting Faster Than Thought

Awesome video, extremely informative for the novice interested in glaciers and global warming.

We need to help our earth for the future generations

He is a layman when he speaks about politics, society, solutions...

The transition to renewable energy is a good start, however, governments also need to assist in changing forestry and agricultural practices to pull carbon out of the atmosphere and keep it in the soil through chemical-free no till practices. Tilling soils allows carbon to readily reenter the atmosphere. There are also efforts around the world to capture and slow down the runoff of rain. These efforts help retain moisture in the surrounding soils and help green these arid soils. Most of these efforts by farmers and greening arid lands are being done by individual groups with little to no help from governments. It’s time governments and concerned people help finance these efforts. They are as important as the transition away from fossil fuels.

so much thanks about north pole

It’s remarkable that so many scramble to find viable solutions to these crises-when the problem is endemic to the human condition. Greed. Selfishness. More greed. No other species comes close to our insolence. We are the problem. The planet will recover nicely when we are gone-which is inevitable. Humans have no business existing. We only destroy.

Just read an article that this is melting faster than expected!

To raise the water level, doesn’t the ice have to melt on land first? Is that happening or is that just a technicality?

Looks like we need to figure out a way to use sea water as drinking water and other uses rapidly even if we stop using cars and planes and everything else nothing is going to stop this planets natural cycle so times are changing

Save the Glaciers . It took hundreds of thousands of years for these glaciers to be formed. They cannot be destroyed in our lifetime.
