Energy Paradox

This video discusses the melting of the Laurentide Ice Sheet and the Cordilleran Ice Sheet that covered Canada during the Ice Age. The video looks at how global temperature changes, volcanic events, and extraterrestrial impacts could have contributed to the deglaciation of the ice sheets.

Great information, well-presented! Thank you for the post!

[cthulhuhoops]

Excellent presentation as always Antonio. It seems that the puzzle is starting to come together. A few more pieces, and people will be forced to acknowledge that the human story needs to be rewritten.

Seasons greetings Antonio. Wish you and family all the best. Thankyou for another great video.

[MarkShepard]

thank you so much for all your videos!

[yannbiron]

Interesting and thoughts provoking as always. Thank you Mr.Zamora for sharing another great video, it is much appreciated.
My best wishes to you & yours for the upcoming year.

[CrownTown]

Thank you for this fine presentation. I appreciate the scholarship and the solid references you provided. I’ve just subscribed, and will look forward to seeing more content of this quality. Best wishes.

It is well understood that Canada's Hudson Bay area and the Upper Great Lakes region are still rebounding from the weight of the Laurentide Ice Sheet. That water contained within will slowly enter the worlds oceans.

Outstanding paper summarizing many hypotheses that help to plain the rapid deglaciation of the two massive North American ice sheets. The Laurentide and Cordillerian ice sheets experienced such rapid loss of mass due to warming that several large pulses of sea level rise are seen in the environmental records raising the question of where does the requisite energy come from.

Mr. Zamora you have articulated a detailed multiply sourced mechanisms that help to explain sources for the vast energies needed to account for the melting of the ice sheets, an explanation of the Younger Dryas cooling event, and the associated melt water pulses and subsequent sea level rise brought on by a comet impact which explain the the formation of the Carolina Bays and set the stage for the rapid extinction of large mega fauna.

Outstanding video. I feel like I'm in grad school ! Always learning more! Happy New Year !

Very interesting and thought provoking. The current era of rapid deglaciation will be perforce observed and studied in the coming decades and centuries. Hopefully the effects will be mitigated by moving people and infrastructure to higher elevations. It will be an enormous cost to humanity.

Having Firestone and Goodyear working on the younger Dryas impact hypothesis is heartwarming, l wonder if Dunlop and Pirelli have tread to add...??😉

[BaltimoresBerzerker]

Thank you! Love the expansion outside just the cooling event! If it were volcanism, wouldn't the soot darken the color of the snow? Also contributing to accelerated warming.

Interesting analysis. At the time of my viewing there are 4 "thumbs down". I'd be interested why they give it a thumbs down. Antonio is only presenting a hypothesis, it doesn't sound like he is saying it is fact (for those who might disagree with his hypothesis). Are people disliking it because of the presentation rather than the hypothesis perhaps? Or are they disliking it because Antonio is leaving out some contradictory research thereby "spinning" things in support of his hypothesis?

[seantecs.a.]

Maybe more variables are needed to wrap up a coherent global model...

[Keys]

That feeling when you get home from work and Mr. Zamora posted a video 11 minutes

Best thing about a good hypothesis is its testable. Seemed a bit more digging, sampling and piecing together of evidence will lead to the true patterns and causes being clarified. I find your ideas on the Carolina and Nebraska depressions fascinating and plausible, but I've not read the details of the established view on these features. Will be fun to see where the evidence leads!

[brendaellenbentley]

Do Lake Nipigon and Lac St.Jean also align with the bays? (Nipigon with Carolina; Lac St. Jean with Nebraska)

[robertenglehardt]

Is there any quantification of how much ice/water volume could have been ejected by impact? Figuring ice landing above water table where little would show, into the ocean which none would show and the Carolina bays? If substantial- less volume would have to be explained through at Lawrence river etc.

[MrGeneralPB]

awesome as usual, thank you so much for going through the data with us :)


also, at around 6.30 mins i was reading ice flow at 20-25 meters per second rather than per day XD that was a hilarious and frightening mental image

1:42 Just childishly looking at the graphs:
In GISP2 the temperature rise at the beginning of the Bolling-Allerod ~14500 YBP is an extreme spike in the graph. Temperature jumped up more than 15 °C in less than 500 years. That spike is followed by a temperature rather constant decline during the ~2000 years of the Bolling-Allerod. The temperature drop at the beginning of the Younger Dryas is not nearly as extreme as the temperatur rise at tbe beginning of the Bolling-Allerod. The temperature rise at the end of the the Younger Dryas is as extreme as the rise at the beginning of the Bolling-Allerod. Basically it is the same, just starting lower. The lowest temperature at the beginning of the Younger Dryas is only slightly lower that the lowest temperature 1000 years before the the beginning of the Bolling-Allerod.

In Cariaco warm phase of the Bolling-Allerod is even more obvious. After the first third, the Bolling-Allerod is interrupted by a very short, hard spike down to almost the starting temperature. The Bolling-Allerod ends in an extreme tempratur drop into the Younger Dryas. The temperature rise at the end of the Younger Dryas is even more extreme than the temperature rise at the beginning of the Bolling-Allerod. The temperature right before the beginning of the Bolling-Allerod is only slightly lower than at the beginning of the Younger Dryas.

My own childish conclusion: The reasons for the two temperature rises must have been at least as extreme events as the reason for the temperatur drop.

That is an interesting theory - the dumping of the ice into the ocean causing a rapid sea level rise. Randal Carlson said that if you were to drop sufficient ice into the ocean to raise the sea level 300 ft it would take many many years for it to melt.This theory nicely solves to problem of the rapidly increased sea level, without requiring the ice to melt rapidly. Have you considered what that massive amount of fresh water would do to the thermohaline circulation? Perhaps that would account for the apx. 1400 year cooling period - I imagine it would take many years to restabilize itself, and return the gulf stream etc to warming the northern hemisphere.
