About The Author
I live in Alaska, we had the coldest and most snow intense winter we have seen in decades.
Let the ice melt
Fear not for the world doesn't need glaciers if it's getting rid of them….I'm sure the world will pull through just fine….humanity on the other hand…well….not so sure about that one 😎
Mehh, i dont care
Fact:
The glaciers disappear totally every 2000 thousand years. Thats why the romans were able to walk over the mountains, and never noted down that there were glaciers
With carbon 14 tech, researchers were able to identify that wood is stuck in the glaciers from 2000, 4000, 6000 even 8000 years ago (but not from for example 7000 or 1000 years ago)
So no, the glaciars melting is not that terrible, it is inevitable anyway.
The problem is how fast they are melting, climate change has sped this up rapidly…
Didn’t this happen about 200,000 years ago when carbon emissions came from volcanos etc., planet earth then corrected itself. What are going to do as the sun heats up by 10% every billion years
Every thing and every one all connected that was a dumb question not thing can be done to change this only prayer the damage is far far from repair so all the scientific predictions not a hundred percent accurate WE SEEM TO REPEAT OUR PAST WAR RICH GET RICHER POOR STAY POOR NOT THING POSITIVE 2022 AND WE ARE FACE WITH THESE MAJOR ISSUES AND PROBLEMS THIS IS A HUGE SIGN THAT OUR PLANET WILL NEVER BE THE SAME TO MUCH TAKING USING destruction OF THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT RESOURCES NO ONE CARES FRACKING CUTTING DOWN THE TREES MAKING DAMS DRILLING FOR OIL POLLUTION OF THR OCEAN ALL OF THESE THINGS AFFECT USE AND PUT A SCAR ON OUR PLANET WHAT DO MAN KIND CARE THE MOST ABOUT MONEY AN POWER THATS IT EVERY THING ELSE SMALL FRIES EVERYTHING WE TO THIS PLANET THE PLANET NOW HAS A NEGATIVE REACTION WHO BUILDS A MAJOR CITY IN A DESSERT SMH
Washington-Swamp::: Vote for more glaciers!!!
if only they could be a way to cool down our planet.. for example a winter, long lasting winter…. wait a minute.. a nuk…. :dddd
Wow, because there was a road there at one time, every denier in the comments is a suddenly a climate change expert.
Dont panic klauss is working on it .
If the path was made 2000 years ago, that means there were no glaciers there. Maybe it is just a planetary cycle. After all, the ice ages did happen in cycles. There could be mini cycles within these mega age cycles. In any case, the US, UK and China are the biggest polluters of the world. Let’s ask them to find a solution.
If it has warmed, there must be a peer-reviewed paper that says how much is caused by man.
The summer there was hot. The planet has about 100 years left before almost everything is melted.
Sahara dust is apparently also a big problem, leading to increased heat absorption and melting.
clean energy clean water The biggest idea I am trying to express is tunneling aqueducts from the coast, in this case the west coast of the USA inland to feed combination geothermal power and sea water desalination plants. The idea seems to be so big that no one has considered it possible but I believe it is not only possible but it is necessary. For over a century the fossil water contained in aquifers has been pumped out to feed agriculture, industry and municipal water needs. The natural water cycle cant refill fossil water deposits that were filled 10,000 years ago when the glaciers melted after the last ice age. Without refilling these aquifers there is not much of a future for the region of the United states. As a result ground levels in some areas of the San Joaquin Valley have subsided by more than 30 feet. Similar fossil water depletion is happening in other regions all around the world. TBM and tunneling technology has matured and further developments in the industry are poised to speed up the tunneling process and it's these tunnels that are the only way to move large volumes of water from the ocean inland. The water is moved inland to areas where it can be desalinated in geothermal plants producing clean water and power. In many cases the water will recharge surface reservoirs where it will be used first to make more hydro power before being released into rivers and canal systems. It's very important however to not stop tunneling at these first stops but to continue several legs until the water has traveled from the ocean under mountain ranges to interior states. Along the way water will flow down grade through tunnels and rise in geothermal loops to fill mountain top pumped hydro batteries several times before eventually recharging several major aquifers. What I am proposing is essentially reversing the flow of the Colorado River Compact. Bringing water from the coast of California first to mountaintop reservoirs then to the deserts of Nevada and Arizona and on to Utah, New Mexico, Colorado and Wyoming. This big idea looks past any individual city or states problems and looks at the whole and by using first principles identifies the actual problem and only solution.
THERE IS NO CLIMATE CRISIS. Op-Ed: King Charles Recommends Military Campaign And Trillions Of Dollars To Save The Planet, in The Published Reporter.
May the Anthroprocene epoch make the Permian-Triassic extinction event seem like a minor footnote in the pages of Earth's history. Here's to making scenario SSP5-8.5 of the IPCC assessment a reality.
Truth heating the entire world just a single degree can have terrible effects for the world we are starting to enter into the world wide mass extension event of all species..
WATER WORLD OR END OF HUMAN
Seeing that the Magnetic North Pole continues to emigrate south towards Siberia = EDDY Grand Solar Minimum (NOT human activity)! Humans are made of carbon and that is what `they` want to reduce! X
So what? During Roman times, the glaciers were smaller, and a few thousand years ago there were no glaciers, and the mountains were covered in forest. There is no climate crisis. The Earth was warmer in the recent and distant past. It also warmed faster in the past.
The Great Global Warming Swindle Video!!!! and youtube sucks!!!
This is a natural cycle, not caused by man. Isn't there a lot of blood on the hands and the gold of the Swiss?
Wow revealing a Roman road build over a thousand years ago. Amazing the Romans also grew grapes in Britain, let hope we can grow grapes again in 15 years just like the Romans did.
So at some point the weather and climate had changed so much that the water and ice dried enough for them to create a road there??? I wonder how bad the farting cows were back then! God bless
The road that is now visible was built in the Roman peroid
and they had a productive period. Why are we told to be afraid of this ?
I live in northern New England, about 2 hours from Quebec, and even here, our winters have been shrinking. Snow is not as frequent as it used to be. I don't think we will be getting any white Christmas' anytime soon lol. It's our own fault I guess. It is what it is…..
good news then ! we are recovering from the little ice age and returning to the warmth of the roman warm period.
sky news australia are anti alarmist, sky news uk are alarmist – they should have a debate
sky ratioed in their own comments section. BS "at an unprecedented rate". The public arnt buying it, no matter how serious the tone of voice.
I believe that we are supposed to make 100 million 6 km inflatable artificial mountains and put them on the Alps where are the Alps are melting so that we spray water on top of these mountains and make our own ice to drop the temperature of the region. I believe we must make our own glaciers to drop the temperature of the region
