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

On his first-ever expedition to Siberia, George witnesses the alarming effect of melting permafrost, visits a 12,000-year-old dog, and camps out with reindeer herders on the chilliest night of his life.

On Angry Planet, professional storm chaser George Kourounis continues his global adventure, travelling to some of the most dangerous places on Earth. But this time he’s on a special assignment.
As the planet heats up, natural disasters are becoming more frequent and severe. From deadly wildfires raging across Australia to deforestation and drought in the Amazon, George experiences the most extreme forces of nature and reports back from the front lines of climate change.

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

[@Manny-mn3gk]

Methane is very flammable.

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 😕

[@News_Board]

Permafrost warming is truly alarming.

[@andrewapurcell]

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

[@lauraarcher1730]

Really!!

[@reederbar]

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

[@0spreii]

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

[@robertellingtom2683]

Nothing but green pure greed greedy people greedy rich people greedy greedy greedy it's the word of the universe evil evil

[@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.

[@calvaryassemblyofgodsouthi8046]

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

[@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

[@frankdavis6101]

Seems like that place could use some green house gas to heat it up so the reindeere dont die from snap freeze if there was green house gas it wouldnt snap freeze

[@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

[@JstsomeRandomthings]

Siberian permafrost

[@herdingcats3850]

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

[@kimjoseph3080]

R the builder fools when they was building

[@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?😳

[@morenofranco9235]

Why would anyone live here?

[@daniellemurphy9755]

It's called a positive feedback loop

[@iwroteabookaboutit]

this sux poorly made

[@djdiscoworm]

so destroy western economy's?

[@tonnywildweasel8138]

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

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

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 🦘

[@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.

[@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

[@jacknastyface5623]

Any 'pluses' cited in comments are outweighed by the negatives. No one should think that being on anything 'runaway' is a good thing! A 'runaway' train will get to where it's going quicker, but you can forget about making stops along the way, unless you're talking about coming off the rails at some point. What thinking person would choose boarding a 'runaway train' into an already uncertain future with children & grandchildren?

[@MentallyRetardedHamilton]

2 to 5 years away from The Global Migration, billions of feet all in sync; vibrations there will cause earthquakes here

[@davidgriggs3967]

@Mark Reman Hamilton They won't mention that , no money in what they can't control.
