Watching Ice Melt

[@lenasilva9169]

So short!! I wish that this video was longer! Great video by the way!!

[@kirstinstrand6292]

Excellent. Most people do not understand why melting ice up North effects climates everywhere.

Great video! Keep them coming please!

Thank you!

"Watching ice melt" sounds boring in theory, but this was super cool

[@scrippsoceanography]

Thanks for watching! We think it's pretty "cool" too.

[@JuliaPelio]

wow that was interesting!

Would be nice to see a video illustrating the latent heat reality of melting ice (the energy required to melt 1kg of ice at 0 degrees is the same amount of energy required to raise 0 degrees water to 80 degrees!) Maybe then viewers will start to understand the drama of the melting arctic.

This channel is awesome

Amazing!

Very interesting. Does the melting of polar ice have a relationship to the global shift in water use and supply? In this manner, the flow of water from the poles could be driven by the need for water in urban populated areas where water levels are lower and the region is becoming warmer due to urbanization, drought and loss of water in the natural energy cycle. In this logical flow, could dehydration of disparate areas of the Earth could be the primary driver for polar ice melt as a causal factor and global warming just coincidental to this process? An ice cube slowly melts on the counter and then suddenly liquifies when it remains uncontained. As long as there is a direction for water to flow, there is a heat exchange transfer and gravitational forces to drive polar ice melt from higher levels of water (solid and liquid) to lower levels - just as one can siphon liquids. Thoughts?

Any explanation for the growth in Antarctic ice extent in 2020. Would be interested in your scientific perspective.

[@sodalitia]

No it wouldn't. The video is about Ice sheets in Greenland, the extend is the measure of sea ice, which by the way is fairly constant in Antarctica. Not really relevant. What you meant to say is the Ice sheet volume gains in Antarctica. And you are wrong again, by implying that there is any growth in Antarctica. The myth you are trying to replicate is a denialist lie about alleged growth of Antarctica icesheets that was based on a single research, taken out of context, about the Ice loss of West Anterctic Icesheet. Over all Antarctic continent was never gaining any Ice volume, but loosing just like Greenland. Idiots took the data from a single region of Anatarctic and started spreading lies. They do this kind of cherry-picking in temperature record and other climate data as well.

@@sodalitia My source is the National Snow and Ice Data Centre. I am not sure that they would appreciate being called idiots.

[@pacomacaw2456]

@@sodalitia You may also like to explore what has happened to the volume of snow and ice in Antarctica as well as the extent, which has increased by millions of tonnes. Perhaps you shouldn't. Facts seem to trouble you.
