Antarctica's giant waterfalls are changing the sea level

Antarctica is not the icy world scientists thought it was. A team of scientists recently compiled the most detailed map, yet, of liquid water across Antarctica. They found water in places where it was thought to be impossible.
"This study tells us there’s already a lot more melting going on than we thought,” Robin Bell, who is a geophysicist at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, told Kevin Krajick. “When you turn up the temperature, it’s only going to increase.”

what is th emusic of this video? beautiful piano.

[@richardkelltoolmaker]

At 01:30 we hear that scientists don't know how thick the Antarctic ice sheet is, well isn't it handy that Prof Wadhams from England has done the work already in the Arctic ie sonar and submarine mapping.

[@IIIlllyyyccchhh]

feet foot inch, cmon get metrical system

[@williamcallihoe501]

This is real serious.. Here in Canada I have seen immense change over 58 years. We have to change, stop the talk and walk the walk.... eliminate excesses for a start.

[@fjaajf]

You just have to live with it.

[@ghost91977]

Its ok i will buy yacht

[@rockerchick4368]

Ghost919 , 3.1 Million and 150.000 per year for maintenance. I lived on 3 boats for a month. Met the crew . Dock fees as well.

[@harmhoeks5996]

Good luck with your 'on board' farmland.

[@paxwallacejazz]

Countries like Denmark might have a problem sooner than expected.

[@billrich9722]

Oh my God. If people didn't expect to find liquid water in Antarctica, then no wonder it's "more than expected". You didn't expect to find any. Show how much "the science" knows.

[@abdiazizsiiska8909]

it's very good

[@vimeokilledtheradiotzar7822]

that seal doesn't seam to care, so I feel ok

[@lyndiacutler6146]

Well our ice age is ending and a hot time on the way, then back to ice age and so the wheel of the world and life turns again.

[@oldshoe1]

All that ice and snow came from the ocean ever heard of the water cycle system, so all that meting ice is basically going back where it came from.

[@harmhoeks5996]

"180 feet" uhh

[@ohno4988]

maybe we just do all we can to stop the temprature from rising instead of creating new horror scenarios

[@sunstorm4436]

"Wherever there's water on earth, there's life." So is there life in those icy streams?

[@yesimfunatparties9337]

Yes, bacterial life

[@billrich9722]

It's possible. That ice has been there for a very long time. Who knows what's been frozen in it.

[@atreyoss5050]

anyone remember the movie 2012?

[@tylernold3427]

You know that this is in the summer time and this is common for summer man I am going to sound like a giant nerd here but Antarctica is gaining record level sea ice

[@matthewkyle7763]

Not good thank you for posting let's hope for the best take cate stay safe.

[@mrpepperonipizza3287]

Duuudeeee i live like 50 metres from the beach thanks for the vote of confidence

[@arishana1106]

Then what will happend to the animals there like penguins? :

[@jwoolf55]

So this is a made up disaster until its not. Like when its winter time and it all freezes again.

[@fionaprasad3648]

What happens when an under sea volcano erupts? It forms rocks and land and takes up space and displaces water or raises the level of the sea. What shall we do about Volcanoes?

[@thomasdearinger699]

I love the fear mongering here.

[@Chaosfury50]

Tf lol when ice melts, the water level stays exactly, EXACTLY the same level. You can easily see this for yourself with a simple cup of iced spheres made from a process using the molds created by the exacting, perfect, spheroids of the element beryllium.

[@petarkukuljica4372]

not really the same thing as shown here

[@timhiltonsuperstar]

Why don't we take some of that wasted water and turn it into vodka?

[@niklasgebert9721]

Damn it must suck to live there. And yes there are two civilian settlements in the antarctica.

[@timjones5708]

Uh oh...some company is going to bottle the water from the waterfalls now and sell it for premium price!!

[@spifoez]

Great man.. We should start that company..

[@terenceiutzi4003]

Then why on earth has the ocean level only dropped over the last 200 years

[@billrich9722]

Aliens.

[@renatopereira1121]

The earth will change when people realize we living a lie of a sphere The earth is flat and we never discovery life in other "planets"

[@HCBCHEMISTRY]

Top bad the video does not tell you the time of year. Seems like summer with all that sun. In winter their is no way for flowing water dude.

[@PAULLONDEN]

Good point........This certainly was during the arctic "summer"......

[@r_ubz]

Then make a huge ocean and make sure it reaches the bottom of the earth.

[@r_ubz]

lets sacrifice russia

[@sonic1k]

Yes that's how ice works, it melts and it comes back in the winter

[@ashleywilson8090]

The issue is that the ice is melting faster than it is being replaced every winter. So sure it is coming back but not enough to replace what is being lost.

[@billrich9722]

@@ashleywilson8090 The ice in Antarctica has thawed and re-frozen myriad of times over the life of the planet. You'll be fine.

[@ashleywilson8090]

@billrich9722 clearly you don’t know how climate change works. I am very aware that I will be fine but worrying about myself isn’t the point. It’s called caring about the future of the planet.

[@billrich9722]

@@ashleywilson8090 Unless you have a Doctorate in the relevant fields, you don't know how it works either.

[@ashleywilson8090]

That’s absolutely false. But you have fun living in denial 😂

[@signletters]

Sea levels are not rising, in fact they might even fall. rain on the deserts never reach the oceans, rain in Australia and Antarctica is getting bigger not smaller due to temperature rise allowing it to snow where previously it was too cold.

[@illumi._.]

It's funny how they are riding in a Air Plane that's causing the problems they are looking at right now!

[@sireneklient]

it might be a drone dude!!! and btw they doing it for scientific reasons, so its totally different -.-'

[@illumi._.]

ok so I can basically destroy the earth but it'll be ok because ITS FOR SCIENTIFIC REASONS !

[@sireneklient]

but did they destroy the earth by filming the melting land :D?

[@illumi._.]

I was making a example

[@sireneklient]

[@speedyg2012]

When will Antarctica become ice free?

I will,move to mount Everest where the water won't bother me at all only the snow melting ):

So anartica is not land ??

I predict it MAY only getter better. Just a prediction though

I'm shourd you also walk on a hill when every one else walks flat

i think , all the ship on the sea is acttualy increasing sea level hahaha. look how big they are hahaha

Now there is too much CO2 in our atmosphere and planting trees won’t help unless we plant enough to cover all of America,... Canada’s doing it why can’t we?

On the plus side, Antarctica is a massive piece of land so if the ice sheets did melt people could technically live there and start a new country 🤓

[@lorditsprobingtime6668]

Your thumbnail stated "melting waterfalls etc". Ice melts, water going over a waterfall HAS ALREADY melted. I'm not wasting my time watching if you can't even get simple facts like that right in your attempts to get people to watch your stuff. Definitely not very "technically" correct. Also there's a fair amount of volcanic activity down there, so I very much doubt any scientist would be surprised that there would be a lot of melt water. They have warm lakes they've known about for many years down there. I'm calling click bait BS without even looking at it.

[@kys8272]

u know why cuz people keep using ac

No, Just leave.

its true u fuck go see it for urself

A kid with a minecraft profile picture and broken english would not know the first thing about global warming. Also, That AC thing is bullshit, Proof? Turn on AC on cold night and step outside, It's cold you dumbfuck, No way it can reach the north pole/South Pole (Antarctic) The only things that cause global warming are greenhouse gasses, Not an electrical heater.

No it isn't. Earth's been through much worse in the past. Most affected by the climate change will be humankind. Earth's like a tree of many branches. We're sitting on one of those branches and slowly cutting it down. That's the irony of the situation.

Why do the climate change spokespeople own several houses? The movement needs a cleaner image, critics don't have to go far to find BS... Decaprio and Suzuki, cut back your consumerism!

[@Bronze_Age_Sea_Person]

Because they only care for virtue signalling,not for the matter itself.Stop hearing those "famous people" that tell all sorts of things about politics or climate or anything that is not their speciality,they speciality is to appease to people and to whoever pays their checks,and they are doing their job really good when you care about their opinions.
