- Antarctica’s ice shelves have shrunk by over 40% since 1997 according to a comprehensive new study of the region and researchers say global warming is a likely cause. (October 12).

According to a study published in the Journal of Glaciology, the loss of glacier mass in Antarctica’s western region is being offset by thickening of glaciers on the continent’s eastern interior, which has experienced increased snowfall. This has resulted in a net gain of about 100 billion tons of ice per year1. A new NASA study on the Antarctic Ice Sheet says that an increase in Antarctic snow accumulation that began 10,000 years ago is currently adding enough ice to the continent to outweigh the increased losses from its thinning glaciers2. Although some Antarctic regions have experienced reductions in sea ice extent, the overall trend since 1979 shows increased ice3.
"The planet's fine, the people are fkd!" - George Carlin
We destroy the one planet with life for shiny cars.
Certain ecosystems are failing, others are expanding. Populations that can't migrate are in danger, other populations are thriving.
We definitely change the make up of biodiversity and ecologies, we aren't destroying the planet.
I think it would help if we were more precise with explaining it.
@@yodieyuh6077 Or more honest would be nice too.
My concern is, at this rate how dangerous is desalination of our oceans by simple dilution. I'm thinking particularly of the life in both the Pacific & Atlantic southern areas adjacent to Antarctica.
Ocean current depend on thermohaline differentials, so there is also that
1. There is no possibility of the world's ocean losing its salt.
The salt comes from the rock on the ocean bottom.
Just as soon as water arrived here during late heavy bombardment 4 billion yrs ago, the water began to absorb salt from the rock.
Exhibit A: demonstrating the fact that you don't know anything about science.
2. There have been many glaciations and many greenhouse periods in Earth's 4.58 billion year geologic history.
Explain to us how the ocean maintained its salinity through just one of those transitions?
EXHIBIT B:
Another reason to point the fact that you don't understand science.
There is no climate change said the scientist who started the weather channel
Thanks for sharing 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿😊🙏🏿
Sad that polar bears will go hungry and then there won’t be anymore of them. Amazing animal, though dangerous.
Take heart. New discovery of ancient polar bears who lived in much warmer climate caught my eye this week. They can & will adapt!
Gore said the Polar Bears would be gone by now. They are not.
@@melttherapy9778 I’m glad.
There are no polar bears in Antarctica
@@melttherapy9778 And the world is still warming due to human activity at a rate that will wipe us out.
Yes❤❤❤❤❤
Sweet.
Been hearing the same thing for 30 Years. Humans are hillarious.
Nothing is static
The planet has cycles, the glaciers melt, the world is a mini ice age and the magnetic flip of the poles too, just cycles….comin..
Sure cycles. Doesn't negate that there will be severe changes to life as we know it. Glad you're so confident of your & your family's ability to adapt.
@@KanadianRaven🤭🤣🍿🤡
The earth is millions of years old. At one time the U.S. was under water.
Will be fine. Lol.
Hope I live long enough to see Florida underwater.
You won’t because its all lies.
In a couple of thousand years you will be praying for a merciful death.
@@stingray427man
Why the denial?
@@stingray427manits very real u can see it in some florida beaches have shrunk by 40 percent
Were those antarctic ice shelves always there throughout Earths history ? No they were not. So whats your point?
Neither were we
This is all bs to be used to control businesses and people, their ability to travel and in time how you speak politically. First businesses will have to pay "for carbon". Then people will be only allowed to eat certain foods etc. Wake up. The Earth will be here way after we humans are gone. It's totally about CONTROLLING YOU.
As sea levels rise, homes are destroyed. Heat rises. Mass migrations. Deaths. It's difficult for you to comprehend, but I put it as simply as possible, so you can.
@@Panimal98thanks for saying it for me. Human ability to NOT think more than a year or less in advance or add 1 + 1, constantly amazes me. 👋😉
@@Panimal98 sea level rises. Move upland. Migration happens all the time. Has happened, is and will in the futimure. What is your point? Amsterdam the country in mostly under sea kecel. Thee are cities off the coast of Japan that have been underwater for eons. It's nothing new. You have been brainwashed to believe in a Boogie man.
The propaganda is tiresome.
Then why pay attention to it? Isn't it a waste of your precious time?
@@KanadianRaven observing it and the inane comments from the kool aid drinkers and sockpuppets like you helps me gauge the effectiveness of the narrative
@@BoogieFingerwow 🎯💯🍻🥂
@@BoogieFinger I'm devastated that you feel that way. Must be such a burden for you, having to tolerate the rest of humanity.
@@KanadianRaven Try harder next time, muppet

DOES THIS GUY, BY ANY CHANCE, WORK FOR BLACKROCK???? LOL!! LIES, LIES, LIES!!!🙄
