Diarmuid Keane Stop being so gullible. This is total fake news. "melting at a rate we've never seen before".....Blatant lies. There have been countless summer melts much greater than 2019. Greenland received around 500 billion tonnes of snow this season and the melt was around 340 billion tonnes. There was a net growth in ice of aprox 160 billion tonnes. Greenland ice has grown by 1.2 trillion tonnes since 2017. These stats are readily available on the DMI website.

Actually, New research suggests that as early as 2090, rates of ice loss at the site could exceed gains from new snowfall. And within a century after that, melting could begin to release waste stored at the camp, including sewage, diesel fuel, persistent organic pollutants like PCBs, and radiological waste from the camp’s nuclear generator, which was removed during decommissioning. So, IF the ice melts we only have 170 years to figure it out.

@Landwy13 жыл бұрын
The whole glacier is moving in some fashion with Camp Century moving with it. Typically glaciers in Greenland and Antarctica move to a terminus at the ocean. Most unlikely Camp Century will end up at the coast more or less intact. Most likely it will be crushed and pieces of the camp will move to the coast where ice will melt and everything will go in the ocean. I don't know if there is bedrock under Camp Century, but if there is there is, meltwater acting as a lubricant at the glacier/dirt level accelerates glacial movement. This is why the Scott base at the South Pole is now made with a telescopic system so that as snowfall and wind driven snow try to bury the station, it is raised so it can remain on the surface. The previous base is submerged under the ice. Meteorologically the interior of Antarctica is gaining ice as it is always cold there and snow storms are now more common. Except in the very furthermost interior of Greenland, it is getting more warmer and melting now exceeds snow deposition.

For one, the M1 Abrams. A typical tank in US military. $6 million. 600,000 gallons a day (0.6 mpg), while a Toyota Camry is 34 mpg. The statistics on American pollution would look drastically different if the military was included.

At the Nevada Test and Training Range (formerly known as the Nevada Test Site [NTS]) 824 underground nuclear test explosions were conducted by what is now the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The resulting explosions left pockets of radioactive blast debris which includes significant quantities of plutonium-239, along with the fission products. Much of that is buried below, or just above, the local water table. The blast debris has a composition similar to that of the spent nuclear fuel discharged from nuclear power reactors. A report was issued in April 1997 titled Focused Evaluation of Selected Remedial Alternatives for the Underground Test Area (DOE--465, UC-700) that looked into various alternatives for dealing with that buried radioactive waste. It was estimated that a partial cleanup of it could cost around $7.29 trillion (USD). Due to various impracticalities, including cost, the cleanup options were rejected in favor of the long term Institutional Control option. It was assumed that future generations would find a practical solution. Due to the lengthy half-lives of some of the radioisotopes the blast debris will present a potential hazard for around a half-million years. The testing site consist of Public Lands that were temporarily withdrawn by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) from public access for use by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) and the U.S. Defense Department.(DoD). As a result of the testing activities the property has been turned into a national sacrifice zone. The contamination is now used as an excuse for not considering returning those lands for general public access..

One is titled Atomic Journeys: Welcome to Ground Zero. The Canadian video is titled Nuclear Dynamite. The AEC did attempt to encourage commercial enterprises to use their nuclear explosives. A primary pusher of that was the emimentnt nuclear physicist Dr. Edward Teller, often referred to as the father of the American H-bomb. You are correct that the Project Sedan cratering experiment was one of the dirtiest of all the nuclear cratering experiments and of the underground blast series.

Greenland should belong to the USA. We need to give Denmark some money and some preferences. Such a territory should belong only to such a great country as the USA. Take away, like Alaska from Russia. And if Denmark is outraged, it is necessary to initiate all efforts to discredit this state. Up to the discovery of weapons of mass destruction in their possession. It is too small and does not have the right to use such a large territory as Greenland.

Leaded diesel fuel? An oxymoron.

i thought the same thing so i did some research , seems that fuel tanks used to be made of steel and were coated with lead before they moved on to making galvi coated ones, HTH

@@DazzaDirect At 5:18 the narrator says " . . . leaded diesel fuel, PCBs, and other persistent pollutants." At 6:00 he says "Tens of thousands of diesel barrels lie rusting, in a field. And it's not just the leaded diesel barrels, the Americans also left behind . . ." It's clear to me that the narrator is saying that the diesel fuel is leaded, and not just lead-lined containers. For those unaware, lead, in the compound Tetraethyl lead (TEL), is added to gasoline to make it more difficult to ignite, allowing for higher compression ratio engines. Added to diesel fuel, which must be easy to ignite, a diesel engine would be nearly impossible to start, especially in cold weather. It is a sure thing that any aviation fuel (gasoline) left at the airstrip is leaded. Ergo, "leaded diesel fuel" is an oxymoron. I'd like to hear the writer's and narrator's comments. All I want is accuracy in reporting. Yes, Americans do bad things, and I'm ashamed. It's good that such stories are published.

Greenland will never be able to pay for cleanup, they lack the economy, and Denmark won't be able to cover the costs either, and why would they? Trump's deal needs to be taken seriously and allow the EPA to handle cleanup and maintenance, with the stipulation that Greenland becomes a U.S. territory. Perhaps these operations were more extensive than thought, and perhaps there is more beneath the ice than even this report sheds light on. The only group that truly knows is the United States military. Do you think Trump made that offer as a joke? Do you think he is just saying things to be silly? I know many think this to be true, but only once you begin to see that he has good intentions can you begin to put the pieces together and realize that the deal might have been more than just a goofy idea. Please, Greenland, consider the offer.

When all of this is over, the aboriginals will laff at what the "powerful and technological humans" have done, then they will go back to living a peaceful co-existence with Nature. At least I hope so. But, unfortunately, I think we have done-in the Earth and all of Her inhabitants. How could we have been so stupid? Complacency, greed, one-up-man-ship. I know people who still think all is well, and think the Indigenous are to be pitied for their lifestyles.
