The melting ice of the Arctic (1/2) | DW Documentary

Soon the Arctic will be ice-free in summer. While many are concerned about the consequences for the global climate, countries like Russia and the US, as well as China and Canada see an ice-free Arctic as an opportunity, offering everything from new trade routes to mineral resources and tourism.
Part 2: • The melting ice of the...
In two episodes, this documentary reports on a region of the world that is changing dramatically because of climate change, affecting the lives of the people who make their home in the Arctic. The film team experiences first-hand what it means to live at the mercy of the forces of nature in this inhospitable region, which makes for an adventurous and frightening journey.
In the first part of the documentary, they fly low over the fascinating icy landscape of Greenland, filming the fjords and mighty glaciers of the loneliest places in the world. The current Arctic thaw, however, is felt far beyond this lovely, isolated place. Progressing faster here than in the rest of the world, climate change is moving the Arctic into the focus of global politics. Littoral states and world powers are fighting for influence here. At the heart of their interest: access to mineral resources and new transport routes. Because, as the ice melts, new, shorter shipping routes are opening up. Is a new conflict looming at the North Pole?
And how do the people in the far north experience the change in their environment? The film team travels through the northern reaches of the US, Canada, Greenland, Norway and Russia. The journalists experience the wonder of nature in these regions and meet people who have adapted over centuries to life in these cold, inhospitable realms. Now, they face a new struggle, as global power players swoop in.
In Alaska, the camera team meets fishermen who have been driven from American fishing grounds near the Bering Strait by Russian fighter planes and warships. The fishermen are demanding that their government provide a greater military presence in the region to protect their interests.
The region has been the scene of a long-term dispute over water ownership. For the US, the Northwest Passage counts as international waters, while Canada considers it national territory. The conflict over the Arctic could soon escalate. Because scientists are certain: In a few decades, the Arctic will be ice-free in summer.

"In recent decades, new technologies have allowed humans to remove fish from the ocean on a massive scale to supply Earth's burgeoning population. Unfortunately, there are many negative environmental consequences to these practices and overfishing has been identified as a primary cause of ecosystem collapse in many aquatic systems."-EnvironmentalScience (organization)

They also recently purchased and retrofitted 3 modern medium icebreakers and are starting to build two very large Polar 8 class icebreakers as part of a fleet renewal that includes over hundred Canadian Coast Guard vessels. They even spent close to 1.5 billion building 3 large scientific research vessels just to study fish populations on both coasts and in the arctic. The US needs to get its act together and keep up.

One theory is that the fish are migrating north. Another theory is that they're being overfished and the fishing boats are having to go further north to find more.

[@lmrandlette]

Fact: corporate owned fishing companies are over harvesting at an obscene rate of depletion. Talk of competing with Orcas - sorry, but fish are fundamental for sustenance. And why should governments - and taxpayers - ‘defend’ / subsidize this extreme exploitation?! Avoid future military conflicts over natural resource theft that enriches so very few that own the boats. While I admire the grit and bravery of fishermen in these harsh conditions, they are only wage workers, not the real financial beneficiaries of over harvesting.

[@davewalker9926]

I flew in Greenland, Iceland and the Canadian Arctic for several years in the 1970s. Most of my flying was in a DHC-6 Twin Otter, which had two very reliable engines. The requirements for filming a documentary notwithstanding, I consider the way this pilot flew a single-engine aircraft so low over the jagged ice of the Greenland lower glacier edges very foolish. If their engine had quit they would have had to land on that jagged ice. More altitude would have allowed them to glide to a survivable landing spot. Also, he was flying low up the middle of a rising glacier valley; There are many places in Greenland where the rising valley would suddenly start rising faster than that aircraft could climb. If he flew along one side of the valley (usually the right side), then he could execute a tight left turn and escape. Just some thoughts from years of flying there long ago. Great documentary though. I loved seeing all my old haunts too.

Interesting film, just one thing, they mention several times, the fish "migrating" north, I don't think so. It is more probable that they take up the fish faster than it can reproduce, so the fishermen have to go further north to find the concentration of fish needed for profitable fishing. Please, just be real about it.

[@baneverything5580]

Those mountain glaciers all formed quite recently in recorded history. Grapes were grown hundreds of miles north of current locations before this happened. The Arctic currently has a record amount of ice compared to most of its history since the ice age "ended." An unusual period of climate stability over the past 5000+ years is the only reason our current civilization was allowed to form. This stability will end and there isn`t a single thing we can do to change it. We`d better be hoping and praying for future warmth instead of freezing cold unless you love mass starvation. But there is no hope for humans...not with the appalling level of ignorance about science and history I see in the bizarre comments here.

[@baneverything5580]

A recent study published in the journal Climate of the Past shows there are more Arctic glaciers and ice caps at present, and they extend farther and are thicker, than at several times since the end of the last ice age, contrary to what is commonly claimed. The research indicates the Arctic was warmer than at present between 8,000 and 4,000 years ago, with 80 percent to 100 percent of glaciers and ice caps (GICs) being smaller than today or absent entirely. If the research is correct, the Arctic’s modern ice extent is among the largest of the last 10,000 years, higher than even during the Roman and Medieval Warm Periods. As No Tricks Zone reports, the paper from Laura J. Larocca and Yarrow Axford, scientists with the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Northwestern University, indicates “any recession of GICs in the last few centuries is but a partial return to a former period of much greater warmth.” The scientists’ conclusions are based on a comprehensive survey they conducted of the Arctic glaciers and ice caps near lakes and coasts in Alaska, Arctic Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Scandinavia, Svalbard, and the Russian Arctic. Larocca and Axford write, For each region and for the full Arctic, we summarize evidence for when GICs were smaller than today or absent altogether, indicating warmer-than-present summers, and evidence for when GICs regrew in lake catchments, indicating summer cooling. … [T]he full Arctic compilation suggests that the majority (50 % or more) of studied GICs were smaller than present or absent by ∼10 ka. We find the highest percentage (>90 %) of Arctic GICs smaller than present or absent in the middle Holocene at ∼ 7-6 ka, probably reflecting more spatially ubiquitous and consistent summer warmth during this period than in the early Holocene. … Our review finds that in the first half of the Holocene, most of the Arctic's small GICs became significantly reduced or melted away completely in response to summer temperatures that, on average, were only moderately warmer than today.

Ten big climate changes occurred over the past 15,000 years, and another 60 smaller changes occurred in the past 5,000 years. Based on new analysis of ice cores from Greenland to Antarctica, global temperatures rose and fell from 9 to 15 degrees in a century or less -- swings that were astonishing.

I was held spellbound watching this Wonderful documentary. Was sad to see it come to an end. Now I can hardly wait for part 2. It's not every day I get lost in a show, this was totally Magnificent. Thank you so much.

Bots writing messages to each other...interesting!

[@deetrvl4life875]

Well done, I look forward to part 2. I can't help but Imagine if the weather just gets worse even by slight degrees, each year. How long? Summers way over 100 and winters colder then this year. No spring, no autumn.
