Siberia: Witnessing The Alarming Effects Of Melting Permafrost | Angry Planet

[@News_Board]

Permafrost warming is truly alarming.

[@calvaryassemblyofgodsouthi8046]

Important video. Why isn’t everyone on the planet viewing this and commenting here? Tipping point approaching on the horizon.

[@richdiana3663]

No mention of the Siberian wildfires that are becoming the new normal?

[@Manny-mn3gk]

Methane is very flammable.

There are no actual global observational data on changes to permafrost. The Li et al 2022 paper 'Changes in permafrost extent and active layer thickness in the Northern Hemisphere from 1969 to 2018' states "The temporal change characteristics of the permafrost extent and ALT [active layer thickness] for the NH [Northern Hemisphere] have not been studied." These things have only been poorly estimated or modelled. The aforementioned paper modelled permafrost extent decreased from 23.25 × 10⁶km2 (average from 1969 to 1973) to 21.64 × 10⁶km2 (average from 2014 to 2018), with a linear rate of −0.023 × 10⁶ km2/a. That's an annual change of 0.099 of a percent. That's negligible and could just as easily be increasing due to the uncertainty in the modelling. Out of global estimated emissions of methane of around 600 Tg CH4 per year, the best estimate of emissions from pan-Arctic permafrost is 1 Tg CH4 per year (Elder et al, 2021), so that's less than 0.17%. It's almost nothing.

culture, history, vlog or climate change fear documentry? yes

[@mariapereira5500]

Very sad how we are destroying our Earth. Thank you for the great documentary .👍Good luck in your journey..

[@gokulkrishna4011]

Please stop using car , phones and other things so that atleast ur ecological footprint reduces

When a cat is playing, a video is viewed millions of times. _These are not scientific data_. Humans can live on a planet between 0Cº and 40Cº at least sometimes. Two degrees in twenty years could mean, for example, that in two hundred years only half of the actual places on earth will be suitable for human habitation. But temperatures don't move much as long as ice exists, just melted or frozen water. where there is not enough ice, temperatures will change dramatically. But it's more important movies, football or a cat, only a small percentage of people want to know about it.

[@dieterkonig5588]

So true and sad 😕

[@andrewapurcell]

I dont mean to be that guy but plastic bottles? really?

[@lauraarcher1730]

Really!!

[@epiccurious3536]

I wonder at what concentrations that methane becomes toxic to breathe? And also, at what concentration does it become flammable / explosive?

[@kimweaver1252]

Explosive at about 10%. plus or minus 5%. In air. Toxic at 2,000 ppm.

[@reederbar]

All our luxuries have destroyed the planet and we will be next

[@quintonmillett5149]

I wonder whats going to happen since the average global surface temperature has gone up one degree Fahrenheit last year, a half degree this year.

[@tonnywildweasel8138]

Thank you for deepening my knowledge and broadening my horizons. Appreciate it a lot! Greets from the Netherlands 🌷, T.

[@herdingcats3850]

When in confusion or in doubt, run about, scream and shout.

[@daniellemurphy9755]

It's called a positive feedback loop

[@cortezibanez3890]

Human footprint influence on climate change is non existing vs inevitable geological shifts over time. (ice age, polar shifts, volcanic activity etc) But hey let’s give it a try

Siberian permafrost

[@morenofranco9235]

Why would anyone live here?

[@kimjoseph3080]

R the builder fools when they was building

[@enckidoofalling4519]

Stop the war maybe we’ll help your Siberia problem

[@lauraarcher1730]

It’s everybody’s problem!

[@tamaradeeks2707]

It’s always the people who suffer , plus the animals & environment, of cause 🦘

[@kimjoseph3080]

Stop trying to solve the problem let the earth heal it self

[@davidgriggs3967]

@5:38 You're quick to blame carbon emissions but mention nothing about the weakening magnetophere from the pole migration we have been in for the last 130 years allowing more solar radiation to pass through to the surface. Nice one.

[@beatsbydrew8930]

What's your degree in?

[@davidgriggs3967]

@@beatsbydrew8930 I don't have a degree, I look at the geological evidence and have done my homework by looking the past like how Antarctica had a rain forest under it . I don't need a degree to know our planet's weather events currently are a direct result of melting glacial fresh water mixing with salt sea water and changing the temperature and density of the ocean's currents which effects our weather patterns. This combined with pole migration and the weakened magnetophere and I haven't even brought in the triple whammy of the 18 year moon cycle wobble that is compressing our atmosphere making the storms even more violent. Sorry but no amount of carbon tax will fix this , mother nature will do what has done millions of years naturally and we a just along for the ride.

[@lauraarcher1730]

Maybe you would like to make a documentary about that or find someone else that would be willing to do it?😳

[@djdiscoworm]

so destroy western economy's?

[@daveandrews9634]

The pluses- we’ll have more fresh water, farmland for food production and homes.

[@dontlaughtoomuch11]

That's unfortunately not how climate change works! Places where water was a scarcity will trigger EVEN BIGGER droughts! Europe will not suffer as much as Asia +Africa, continents often doomed by geography and climate (especially Africa) ===> Triggers humanitarian crises ===> Triggers migration patterns =====>Triggers friction =====> Triggers further land degradation of abandoned large areas etc. etc. etc.

[@abcdef-qk6jf]

Not exactly. The thawing makes organic matter decompose. That makes the surface sink and in some areas you get swamps overflowing with water. Hard to farm and build in swamps. There's not a lack of water in the areas - more water makes matters worse. You go from hunting grounds and pastures to bogs. Transport becomes increasingly harder. You can only move supplies on the ground in the winter - the surface is otherwise too soft for transport. Besides in winter you have to be flying in supplies. That makes living costly and it's not the wealthy people living in the areas. The thawing could be changing the affected people from having an active lifestyle that's self sufficient to be living of handouts and social welfare from the government. The oil and gas industry depends heavily on permafrost and the weather being cold in the winter. "Ice Trucking" is the only way to get the production equipment to the areas where the natural resources are and make it profitable to extract them. The thawing could lead to a lot of natural resources being out of reach. Chernobyl has shown human activities are causing more damage than a nuclear disaster. The "Exclusion Zone" has been well studied and proved it beyond any shadow of a doubt. Doing stupid choices - Nature has a list of species more than willing to fill out any vacant spot. Changes could prove to be in favour of Nature by removing or make the human activity zero or close to.

[@iwroteabookaboutit]

this sux poorly made

[@anthonydoyle7370]

I'll give this "documentary 3 out of 10. Only because it helped to cure tonight's insomnia, ffs.

[@zpxithansen1563]

Lakes bubble because of the methane prodused by organic material decomposing it has nothing to do with it getting warmer and you should have went in the summer to see if its really shanging

[@daveandrews9634]

You’re melting the permafrost by digging into it. Don’t forget that the thawed permafrost also has increased CO2 absorption characteristics.

[@kimweaver1252]

Thawed permafrost RELEASES more CO2 as well as methane. Higher microbial growth further heats the permafrost. Self-reinforcing feedback
