Earth in 1000 Years: A Melted Mess | HD |

Показать описание

There are signs that Earth's great stores of ice on Greenland and Antarctica are beginning to melt in the wake of rising sea surface temperatures. With sea levels beginning to rise, scientists are looking back at past geological ages to understand the influence of ocean currents and other factors. They are searching for insights into where our planet may be headed a millennium into the future.

The earth will simply be like hold my beer kid to humankind, this ain't my first go around.

Good info, and the narration is particularly decent. Most other science videos are using AI, and it annoys me, so if I watch 'em, I turn off the audio.

Does anyone remember what happened to the world during covid? The world started to bounce back. Animal migratory patterns began to normalize, co2 levels went down etc. But that doesn't change the fact that earth has gone thru major changes without human involvement and it will again.

I'm from a cooler part of the world and was born in 1973 I can remember snow I can remember it being cold in the winter and now it's reaching 80 and 90 degrees in the winter time😮 so any idiot saying global warming ain't real needs to stop watching TV and dont believe everything you see and hear

The craziest thing to me is we could probably survive sea level rise (which probably is going to happen regardless of what we do) but we keep expanding our cities right by the coast where there is litteraly no way they won't be underwater soon!!

I am pretty sure the Earth will breathe a sigh of relief when humanity is finally gone.

"from the GRACE satellite" at 29:40 is really from the GRACE<FO> pair of identical satellites. They orbit ~250 km apart and can measure any change in distance between them (using some coherent radiation) to a microscopic accuracy, to a tiny fraction of the thickness of a human hair. That's how they measure gravity. On approach the leading satellite is pulled more strongly by increasing mass ahead and the increase in the ~250 km spacing is measured to a distance accuracy you could only see with a microscope. It's stunning technology though the simplest thing ever in concept.

Most people scoff at thinking of anything beyond their lifespan. But the thing is, while several meters of ocean rise is something hard to relate to for most people, the fact remains, most have trouble dealing with a handful of inches. Raise the ocean by 6 inches on the US east coast and it's a massive disaster. The world is so not really prepared for several meters.

One has only to consider the extreme weather events the planet is increasingly experiencing to know climate change is a present & accelerating reality.

1000 years is not even 5% of one second of an average humans life compared to the earth's age. Perhaps think about that.

Ice samples from thousands of years even before humans were on this planet showed that they had global warming then-it’s a progression that the earth goes through

Without trillions of tonnes of ice pressing down on permafrost and glacial zones for thousands to millions of years suddenly gone, what will happen to the tectonic plates, and where will the subsequent subduction zones create unstable volcanism ? .
