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

@@roberthicks1612 Look at the oldest pictures of the Statue of Liberty you can find showing the water line around its base. Now look at the recent images showing the same thing. Are Al Gore`s predictions of rapidly rising seas happening? Did you know that the seas are rising slower now than they were 5000 years ago or even 2000 years ago? Did you know there is MORE ice in the Arctic now than there was 5000 years ago? Did you know Antarctica is GAINING ICE...not losing ice? Did you know rapid temperature changes are the NORMAL and this relatively stable period that allowed our civilization to flourish is a FREAK EVENT? Did you know the temperature can change by as much as 15 degrees C in 100 years and has many times? So the actual TRUTH about climate is far more terrifying than their childish lies. And if we don`t admit there is nothing we can do to prevent crazy climate changes and PREPARE FOR THEM we will probably lose our civilization sooner than you might think. Do any of you remember the massive ice storm in Canada that came within one downed power line of an entire CITY being evacuated for months? Remember the deaths in Texas from the Feb 2021 Winter storm (but only Texas was ridiculed by leftist monsters!)? Imagine something similar happening all the way to the Gulf Coast in America but it doesn`t end for months or years. Imagine Europe buried under ice that just won`t stop. How will we get food? How will we repair the power lines if the ice won`t stop? THIS IS THE REAL DANGER THEY AREN`T TELLING YOU ABOUT!

[@baneverything5580]

Yes, we`ll just blame BillyBob in Alabama over natural climate variations like good little hypocrite bigots while puttering around in motorboats, airplanes, jets, etc, and telling more lies for profit. Do these people WANT another massive glacial period? There`s more ice in the Arctic now than the average over the past 10,000 years. They know this. They`re liars!

I nominate this documentary for an Academy Award. This is leading edge climate change research. Unfortunately few people understand the signing of the findings. Which reinforce the "theory". 8:08. Minky whale goulash, pieces of blubber and coarsely cut meat on the menu. 'Uh, where'd we stash those energy bars'. 9:15. Spectacular aurora borealis. 16:50. Doesn't anyone have a satellite phone? 25:04 Igor spends Christmas cutting up a reindeer in his bathtub ... As a city dweller he's a funeral director and a tourist guide. No fiction author would dare make up a character like that.

It's actually a good thing to reduce shipping traffic from the middle east and redirect that into northern Eurasia. This would help facilitate peaceful cooperation and economic development between Europe, Russia, and China.

[@BarnStangz]

Thank you so very much for bring to light what is going on with the Arctic. I made sure to tell everyone I know to watch this film!

[@mkfathers]

This is an excellent two part documentary that looks at many different aspects of the Arctic region. I had vaguely heard that the Russians have been increasing their interest in this area but like many I thought ‘so what?’. Now at least because of this documentary I have a better idea about why it is important for the world to take a greater interest in the Arctic region. This fact is particularly true when considering the issues surrounding climate change. Thank you DW for putting these two videos together.

[@RalphEllis]

Ice Ages were modulated by ice-sheet albedo, not by CO2. CO2 is not the primary control knob - as I have demonstrated in my peer-review paper. In reality, the feedback agent modulating ice ages was actually ice-sheet dust-albedo. See: Modulation of Ice Ages via Dust and Albedo. The first problem with ice ages is: When CO2 concentrations were high the world cooled, and when CO2 was low the world warmed. This counter-intuitive temperature response strongly suggests that CO2 is not the primary feedback agent. The second problem with ice ages is: Ice ages are forced by increased Milankovitch insolation in the Northern Hemisphere (NH), but never by increased insolation in the Southern Hemisphere. If CO2 were the primary feedback agent interglacials could and would be forced by increased insolation in either hemisphere, but they are not. The fact that interglacials are only ever NH events, strongly suggests that surface albedo is the primary feedback agent (the great landmasses being in the NH), rather than CO2. The third problem with ice ages is: During an ice age, many NH Milankovitch maxima produce little or temperature response. Again, this would be unlikely if CO2 was the primary feedback agent, but it is to be expected if surface albedo was the primary feedback. High albedo ice sheets covered in fresh snow can and will reject the increased insolation from a NH Milankovitch maximum, resulting in little or no temperature response. Unless, of course, the ice sheets are somehow covered in dust, thus reducing their albedo. Fortuitously, the northern ice sheets do indeed get covered in dust just before each and every interglacial. This is the topic of my ice age modulation paper - the counter-intuitive method of dust production, and its function as the primary feedback agent controlling interglacial warming. The fourth problem with ice ages is: The CO2 is a very weak feedback agent indeed. During an interglacial warming era, the CO2 feedback requires warming from decade to decade, to feedback-force temperatures into the next (warmer) decade. Unfortunately the CO2 feedback is only 0.007 W/m2 per decade, which is less energy than a bee requires to fly. Conversely, reduced albedo ice sheets can absorb an extra 200 W/m2 every single annual year, when measured regionally. Clearly the albedo feedback is far stronger than the proposed CO2 feedback, and could indeed dissipate the vast northern ice sheets in about 6,000 years. All of the above points strongly suggest that ice sheet albedo is the primary feedback agent modulating interglacials, rather than CO2. …. Increased dust is caused by low CO2 concentrations, because CO2 is plant-food, and the most essential gas in the atmosphere. Thus low CO2 concentrations cause the death of all C3 vegetation at high altitude, causing CO2 deserts to form across the Gobi plateau. Dust from these CO2 deserts formed the huge dust deposits of the Loess Plateau, and also covered the northern ice sheets in dust - which lowered the albedo of the ice sheets and precipitated melting. See: Modulation of Ice Ages via Dust and Albedo. Ralph Ellis

I really enjoyed that, I have been to the Arctic 5 times since I retired in Kingston Ontario. Last summer I got to Devon Island 900 km north of the Arctic Circle and north of Baffin Island and witnessed a mother polar bear and 2 cubs feeding on a small whale carcass. I have kayaked on both coasts of Greenland. Needless to say, it was really interesting for me. It is not an easy nor cheap place to visit.

[@thl2273]

Apart from the excellent, beautiful and breathtaking direction and wholesome creativity, I would like to address the " Russian" activeness mentioned. I mean is there a problem in Russian activeness if NATO can go to each and every continent as peace protectors, destroying peace, economy and literally devastating the country and when Russia, China, India does that, they say “ooh, these countries are tightening security, they are dangerous, let's fight a war against them.” These things are often seen in the documentaries produced by channels of these countries. If america can explore Antarctica , why can't Russia explore Artic ? Fed up of these douBle standards.

[@tenalafel]

yes, in North East Greenland : plan for the worst and hope for the best. And from experience the worst is always unexpected : we ended up seeking our gasoline barrels down the coastline for almost a km after the Nordendskjold Glacier calved [ Kaiser Frantz Joseph Fjord end glacier ] while we weren't at basecamp, and we were across the fjord at that time.], after that we had to be careful as water was mixed with it. ( and since it was also going to be used by another expedition in that area to ferry us back to where a Twin Otter could land the water had to be filtered out... luckily for me, I was the expedition logistic manager so I was busy making sure each box contained what it was suppposed to contain ( updating the content lists when needed ) and sorting stuff out while others dealt with the water gasoline issue. ) Edit : Now lets be honest, if you have the money ( it's not cheap ) and the opportunity, take it. It's something you will remember all your life. We were deep in the National Park which added more than a few caveats and paperwork, but around the Scoresby Sund area is out of the Park area and is awesome enough.

"There should be more ice" she says like it's our fault it's melting, Eric the Red found many trees in Greenland and farmed animals there until it turned cold as he chopped the last tree down to keep warm, leaving the ground bare, and many then froze to death. Now all the soil has blown away We can assume there wasn't much ice anywhere in these parts, the tree line was much further north than today at some point, so it must have been much warmer there than today for a period long enough for trees to cover the land. We have personal belongings appearing from under receding Norwegian mountain top glaciers, from a period when the high mountains were open to travel by horse and foot on a trade route. That's never been the case for us. There must have been a day when the route that had been used for over 5000 years was lost under ice, never to be re-used to this day. They may have said "we have travelled through here for 5000 years, but now there is too much ice". A day to remember can soon be altered as Sun spot cycle 26 may signal the end of this passage again for many more years and your day consigned to memory only., as it's the Sun that decides when it's open, man just doesn't have the power to decide such a thing, but has the power to scam it's fellow humans. The tv and the media in general is politically biased, and we would be all better off on the Tundra out of its way.

I came here to Canada in early 2013 and by midyear, I read an article in a newspaper about a Russian plane being spotted over the Canadian Arctic. From then on, some of us here in the northern hemisphere know and have an idea that there's something going on in the Arctic, activities that the Russians are busily expanding their territory and claims in the region. The same thing is what China has been doing in the West Philippine Sea. This documentary is very informative, insightful, and educational. Thank you, DW. You presented this documentary so well.
