The unspoken import of the sea ice and melting glaciers is this: it takes 343 BTUs of heat to melt just one GRAM of ice, so just imagine how much human generated heat is being absorbed in that massive melt. Thanks for this research, presentation, and all your work!

These wonderful scientists must start admitting to the public that there is no viable carbon capture, we have at least 10C in the pipeline and stop ignoring aerosol masking which will cause rapid severe heating when industrial activity slows. We need honesty and planetary hospice. Keep fighting for microorganisms that may survive the current full blown mass extinction from ecological overshoot and climate collapse that is in nonlinear acceleration. Live each day with compassion and integrity. So long and thanks for all the fish.

First they came for the polar bears, but I wasn’t a polar bear…

where i've lived for 10 years now, every year we get between 5-10 days of frost, last year we got zero frost, and in a couple of weeks we'll find out if any this year

Is anyone else absolutely scared shitless?????😢😢😢 Jeannie in Lakeport California.

Fish stocks are depleting world wide

Thanks for this very imteresting , disturbing conversation...

Yes, you can invite people like me to be part of CCAG because I am a regenerative systems professional with a long record of accurate analysis WRT to climate - and other areas. I predicted there had to be a mechanism for Pacific heat to affect the arctic and predicted the 2016 low. (We'll almost certainly see another low extent in 2024 due to the El Nino.) Scripps Institute confirmed the existence of Pacific "heat bombs" in 2021. What to do? The fastest way to change, the lowest-hanging fruit, is to simply stop doing much of what we do. We must simplify, we must turn to regenerative farming/gardening. Simplification alone can reduce emissions 80%. Regenerative farming another 40%. That's negative emissions and can be achieved in a decade or less. So long as people think we can just make everything electric, we will continue to fail.

It would be nice not to have your huge CCAG logo plastered in front of the slides being presented by the speaker.

As I watch all the shoppers walk out of Publix supermarket with loads of single use plastic bags in my relatively small town in Nth Florida, it is obvious that the ordinary man is oblivious to how precarious the situation is. How can government effect real change when we have such an exploitative economic system and with big multinational corporations ruling the world

At around 34 minutes the host talks about needing a long time to understand these things, but not having much time. Then they said but everything is getting unpredictable. What climate scientists have failed to understand, and so have failed to communicate, is that policy is based on RISK, not perfect knowledge. Scientists SHOULD have been talking about the RISKS, not the averages or likelihoods. When a threat is existential, it really doesn't matter if you understand it well so long as you understand it well enough to understand it can break or destroy your systems.... or make you extinct. The moment that risk becomes clear, no more science is necessary from the policy standpoint: You must do whatever is necessary to avoid an existential risk. We have lost so much time to this massive error.

Why did you have to leave the darn CCAG banner on the screen the whole damn time!!

I'm curious what happens as the increased volume of ocean water increases exponentially the pressures in deepest parts of oceans often adjacent to lava ridges, could this added pressure increase tectonic plates and volcanoes and possibly super volcanoes activity

I'd listen to these experts in their fields, over the dismissive comments!

I hate to say this, but we had reached and passed tipping points regarding climate change. We are at the “find out” stage right now.

Good news is the sea surface temperatures around Florida haven't hit 100F! Just 98.1! We are toast

CCAG:: i am not the only comment about this so please consider the following edit .. This is really informative but if the editor or creator of the video could REMOVE THE GIANT CCAG GREEN BOX that would be great. It has literally covered parts of every map or graph shown in the entire video. We know who created the video and its not important to he reminded every second of the video. BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY it not only covers up content but is distracting from listening when concentration is constantly being interrupted by incomplete pictures. BUT I THINK THIS IS SUCH AN INTERESTING TOPIC AND IS HIGHLY IMPORTANT AND JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS MEETING AND TRYING TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ON THIS GROWING CATASTROPHIC PROBLEM WE HUMANS HAVE CREATED AND ARE NOT PRIORITIZING FIXING

Many commenters mentioned it's currently summer july thru August so the video is wrong. Problem is as Antarctic is in the southern hemisphere the seasons are backwards from the northern hemisphere. Hence winter is starting in Antarctica. S er conditions the presenter said the recording are lowest reading ever collected at this time of year. With that reference no season matters other than the season being recorded.

Unfortunately the most important tipping points are in the rear view mirror!

@49:52 Prof. Whitmarsh is absolutely right about the behaviour of the general public. But changing the behaviour means taking unpopular measures. This is where democracy kicks in: populists will get a majority and block any measures that will have a negative impact on our current way of living. You can see this happening in Italy right now.

We're deep in it now.

REQUEST If it's possible to get Dr Ian Rintoul [glaciologist] on your show I would be mighty grateful. He has stunning data on ice-melt under antarctic glaciers, massive sub-glacier canyons and cathedral-sized melt-water caves forming beneath coastal glaciers, and comparative spectroscopy showing the outrageous acceleration of glaciers. This is a fantastic channel. Thank you so much.

have we achieved the the Energy of phase transition? are we now the glass of pop on the table in the Sun/

Geology has a record of sudden sea level rise at 3' increments. This time will be faster.

Prof. Whitmarsh gets close, but then repeats all the errors of Capitalism. We need different ways of thinking.

Great program and informative. I travel in Mongolia and have seen large impacts on many areas. The grass is starting to grow as much as two months later yearly and the nice grass for the cattle almost has no time to grow. The glaciers to the far Wesr on Tavan Bogd mountian is receeding quickly. This year much heavier snow and very early. What you see in the polar regions is starting to impact all weather trends globally…

Well done. Thank you. We must get the message out: Do or die.

The problem with almost all discussion on the #ClimateCrisis is that the narrow focus on emissions denies the greater reality of our #overshoot predicament, of which climate change is only one of many dreadful symptoms which intersect, feedback, and amplify eachother, as the process of #collapse accelerates.

I am worried about the open water around almost the whole continent where there should be fast ice formation. Funny you should talk about actions to take, since today I petitioned both a Swiss professional school to reinstate a course that was blocked in 2018 to teach students renewable jobs, as well as uses for hemp and bamboo since that could replace plastic, detoxify soils, and captuer CO2 7 x faster than trees. And I talked with our local OECD to reverse their decision to not support the conversion of factories to making batteries and solar panels. This all falls under the umbrella of Windyday Concept. I've been trying to put it in place for over 7 years, and no climate group nor Green party have supported it. But this weekend a Swedish climate group (NOT Greta) said it was a no-brainer for a climate group to support teaching students in schools. Since this morning, there has been no support, but I did my part. There is a group of hypoctrites called Just Stop Oil that have never answered. Listening to your talk, this should be something that interests you. Maybe you should contact the EPAC in Bulle and the PROM Fr in Fribourg?

What experimental conditions are you talking about?

Maybe you think this is overblown cherry picked . The thing is we are seeing extremely heated ocean temps heat domes the Storms are getting so much more intense . Things are happening fast now and we are just getting ready to hit July. Things will get much worse in the coming days and mouths yes days there's not a single day Gos by now that some extreme weather event isn't happening actually several. Places are experiencing record heat or drought and flooding. I will be right just check and save your comments in Sept or October and if we still can

Professor in the Andrill Documentary said - Quote "Ten metres (sea level rise) in twenty years"! It's gonna go with a rush and surprise EVERYONE!

Is there still volcanic activity? As in Iceland?

It would be funny if what tips the ice in favor of catastrophe acceleration turns out to be as small as the extinction of a tiny species in the biosphere, or tiny chemical reactions, or some unknown processes we'll never realize.

Thankyou for your murmurings however what we need to know is how long until mining operations can commence there. China is impatient Russia is still reeling from the predictions of ice free ports to their north. We all look to america in awe of their work word comes that an award is about to be announced. The innaugural venus award winner is keith rupert murdoch.

Thanks for all you do!!❤

Super important! ..one thing though is problematic is the statement that "this is our planet"(21:30min). This is NOT our planet! It is exactly that paradigm, and coming with it, the behaviour to treat nature and the planet as ours, instead of subordinating ourselves, that also lead and leads to what we see now. Millenia of growth as if limits would exists only in some weird mathematic theorems.

Oscillating between el Nino and la Nina in itself doesn't change the total heat in Earth systems but rather just shifts it between the Ocean and the atmosphere . During a la Nina less heat is going into the tropical Pacific and perhaps synchronized areas, such as the PDO in the North Pacific, since the temperature gradient is greater when colder water is presented to the surface . Maybe when this is happening 90% or a little more of Earth's energy imbalance is entering the ocean and during an El Nino 89% or a little less Either way the oceans have been absorbing the tremendous amount of heat energy. It's no wonder that something like this is happening where both anomalously high Atlantic Sea surface temperatures are occurring while winter time Antarctic sea ice is very reluctant to form. Broadly, what is going on now should make it apparent that we are currently critical. Though it's certainly imperative, we need to do much more than just eliminate all emissions. Much sooner than we can sufficiently bring down emissions, and perhaps even presently, levels of greenhouse gases resident in the atmosphere will increase feedbacks that are already occurring. Such feedbacks are self reinforcing and compounding. They are things such as attrition and burning of forests, peat and other ecosystems, loss of cryospheric albedo and further derangement of climate systems with its attendant intensifications. They include impacts of societal mitigations, adaptations, disaster responses, relocation, effects of likely increasing conflict, other black swans and the environmental cost of needed reformation of the human enterprise. In order to stop the havoc we would have to simultaneously and immediately reduce the amount of atmospheric greenhouse gases to something close to pre industrial while bringing down temperature. Even without mounting feedbacks, acidification and huge amounts of stored heat, actually almost 90%, in the oceans from the recent very fast increase in Earth's energy imbalance will remain a problem for some time. Atmospheric temperature reduction will have to be somewhat increased to compensate for energy that will be emitted from the oceans to a cooler atmosphere. As being called for by the UN, a group of 70 scientists, James Hansen and many others, we must at least begin to do some solar radiation management in order to alleviate otherwise inevitable highly impactful feedbacks. Unlike bringing down greenhouse gas levels, this can be done very quickly in various ways and at low cost. Trepidation about unintended consequences is nonsensical when one gives recognition to what we we have been doing at very large scale. By rapidly filling the atmosphere with greenhouse emissions, the human enterprise is already engaged in the most reckless form of laissez-faire geo-engineering as emphasized by James Hanson et al in the recent paper titled "Global Warming in the Pipeline." Bringing down temperature will buy us time to transform our presence on this planet in a more reasonable manner, reducing its impact. Otherwise, at some point we will go into a panic and frantic activities will alone put us over the edge. Considering what is already occurring along with the prospects outlined above, I am beginning to think that to not bring down temperature is masochistic and self victimizing. Of course we have to do something about fossil fuel usage. Thom Hartmann recommends that as nation we buy controlling shares of all fossil fuel companies operating in the US. He contends that this could be done for much less than the amount of tax cuts gifted to the very wealthy by Trump early in his presidency. Otherwise, in this regard corporate chartering must be modified to include sensitivity to environmental sustainability and otherwise ignored externalities. Among many needed responses, as far as I can tell, what was promoted by James Hansen decades ago would be a great benefit in this regard. A Fee and Dividend Carbon Tax approach would deftly employ personal advantage in order to lead rather than institutionalized imperatives to push. Information about this online is readily available and I recommend everybody looking into it

What about the volcanos under antartica 4 have been found , are they contributing to melting

I noticed there are lows dominated around Antarctica where every yr from 2014 is high dominated, does that make a difference too sea ice?

This is NOT our planet. WE belong to the planet.

Thanks brother.

This is such an important update. Thank you! I'll get it posted to extinction rebellion Sheffield's SM if it helps get the message to even more people.

Great analysis but like all discussions on climate when it comes to figuring out what to do there’s nothing that can be done that doesn’t lead to the collapse of civilization sooner than it already is going to happen.

Does anyone really believe for one second that 8 billion human beings are going to stop using fossil fuels or curtail or stop trying to improve their lives through technology? Some try to scapegoat the petroleum companies blaming them for the problem when it’s each and every one of the 8+ billion that are using their products. The only thing that WOULD have made a difference-about 100 years ago-would have been to have put a cap on the human population but it’s far too late for that now

Animal agriculture does have significant environmental impacts, and many argue that it contributes to environmental degradation and climate change.: Greenhouse gas emissions: Animal agriculture is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. Livestock production, particularly cattle, produces methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Additionally, clearing land for grazing or growing animal feed releases carbon dioxide, contributing to deforestation and climate change. Land and water use: Animal agriculture requires vast amounts of land and water. Raising livestock necessitates large areas for grazing or cultivating animal feed crops. This leads to deforestation, habitat loss, and soil degradation. Furthermore, animal agriculture consumes substantial amounts of water for animal hydration and crop irrigation. Water pollution: The concentration of livestock in factory farming operations generates significant amounts of waste. The runoff from these operations can pollute water bodies, contributing to water pollution and eutrophication. Biodiversity loss: The expansion of animal agriculture encroaches on natural habitats, leading to the loss of biodiversity. Deforestation for grazing or feed crop cultivation reduces habitat availability for various plant and animal species, contributing to species extinction. Antibiotic resistance: The routine use of antibiotics in animal agriculture to promote growth and prevent diseases contributes to the rise

My question is The ALMOC circulatoon is going tô be affected by this melt over Antartic

At the edge of extinction only love remains❤

It’s not what we should do but what we shouldn’t do less is best when it comes to consuming more than a human needs

We’re all DOOMED!

You plead to widely distribute this 57-minute KZfaq video, especially to leaders of governments. Leadees and their staffs will not likely watch this long video. To be effective, you must release a SHORT 5 to 7 minutes edited video of highlights and key points

Why superimpose your CCAG tag over significant graphs/data?

The variability is optical. It is not about square kilometers of ice but KUBIC. Satellite images are less capable to monitor the 3 dimensional amount of ice. And steady growth will always amount in exponential growth. Simple arithmetic.

Let's no forget the deep volcanic action under bothe the north and south poles !

Congratulations on such a great show, so informative, the guest speakers and scientists are fabulous in imparting the information, I'm 60 years and have been reading about climate change since I was teenager. A m so glad the research is now able to demonstrate the risks we face. Such a shame the greedy corporations have been allowed to destroy our environment in the chase for profits. Whils5 I'm generally optimistic it is so hard to be hopeful now.

May the Anthropocene epoch make the Permian-Triassic extinction event seem like a minor footnote in the pages of Earths history. Here's to making scenario SSP5-8.5 of the IPCC assessment a reality.

has been posted 3 weeks ago, what is the real date of your investigation?

Is everyone aware the Antarctic saw some of the lowest temperatures recorded during the 2023 hottest year on record and the USNIC also show the Arctic grew in size too ?.

The Last Warning....

We should quickly scale up nuclear, renewables, and carbon capture as much as possible. 2.5C is still within reach. We need a massive fleet if solar reflecting satellites and development nuclear fusion with carbon capture and storage, too. We can still do this.

So long Antarctic Sea Ice! You will be missed. Farewell, please write.😱

THE MINUTE WE SAW BILLIONS OF GALLONS OF CLACIER WATER POURING INTO THE SEAS WE KNEW IT WAS ALREADY TOO LATE. BUT GREED AS USUAL WON OUT!!!

While Sir David talks about reaching out to high government officials, I think that the real issue is the indifference and apathy of most Americans. Too many Americans simply don't believe that the issue is very serious because they have very easy access to air conditioning.

nice one mate

Reforestation is perhaps the easiest method of carbon capture to achieve. We can start, as nature does, with fast growing ‘pioneer’ tree species and inter plant with slower growing, longer lived species. Such a program can be scaled up relatively cheaply and involve an enthusiastic and available volunteer work force in addition. Trees also ameliorate or modify local climate, vapour production, soil erosion, flooding/control pulsatile flow, moderate surface winds, limit coastal erosion and sediment deposition and of course provide both habitat and food sources for an substantial component of biodiversity

Justifiable sustainability begins with eliminating waste and the knuckle heads who invite disaster. ShakeUp XR

In layman’s terms is we are switching our own lights off

[19:00] Yikes she says it's worst than she thought

Ever recorded since when???

They talk about some climate engineering project as if we could go on polluting or keep our current way of life and technology use with some sort of human climate project fix of the planet. We must change our technology building practices and technology itself to be able to be used and constructed without pollution as the results of this. I also think that theres too much focus on too much details of the main subjects that control habitation on our planet. That is Ice, water, atmosphere, and solar activity. So some huge re-freezing project of the poles is not any sort of a solution to our problems with the planet. We need to understand those key things that control habitation on our planet, Ice(polar ice), Water(Earths Ocean levels), Atmosphere(humidity or how much water is in the atmosphere), and solar absorption(solar activity that strikes out planet). With study and focus on these main areas will tell us where we stand when it comes to the climate condition of the planet not study of only one of these areas....

I believe the greenhouse is responsible for tectonic plate movement and earthquakes due to the lessening weight on the antartic plate. Here in victoria australia we are experiencing earthquake movement that simply was not around in my youth. Certainly not the frequency.

This is my first time watching a CCAG meeting. The presentation was way above my head (I’m a university graduate, but not from a science background). So if this was about informing the public, in my case, it failed. Sorry!😢

. We've already learned that dust from one continent gives rise to life (oxygenation and biospherical nutrition) by feeding the forests on a different continent through air wind pollination taken across the oceans, while along the way, taming water's hurricanes.

Save Our Plant Now

I live off grid. I work remotely. I completely changed my lifestyle during COVID. My monthly expenses are less than $500. My solar system has paid for itself. I rarely drive and plan my town trips so that i do not have to go often. I have barely spent $10k on my land, cabin, rain water system, and solar system. I built everything myself. I understand that no every can just do this. COVID destroyed my business. So, i had an opportunity to change or start over in the city. I am so much happier. The more i add to my home, the more comfortable almost luxurious my life becomes. My land was a pinion forst, but the pine beetles killed over 100 old growth trees. Now i am starting new ones from seed. The trees that lived are close to my garden area. I am using permaculture methods. My water retention methods are also helping the native trees. My property is greener than any of my neighbors' properties. Yes, we need to get rid of fossil fuels, but there is so much more we can do. PS: I work less than 20 hours per week and have more money in the bank than i did living the city life.

A brilliant cast marking the last of Antarctica's final days. Once pine and eucalytus grace her mountains won't life there for humans be nice? But alas no such luck. Tis clear we're quite f'd, for when the first pine tree sprouts no humans will remain. Extinct thru our folly, though today we're still jolly, so either Engineer An Ice Age or brace for the pain.

What about all the melting methane clathrate deposits and tundra? Wen they start its too late. Not enough oxygen to breathe in 800 years and agriculture collapse in 100..

Sorry, Bud, but you lost me at "how worried should we be?". HA, HA, HA!😂

Maybe get rid of the GIANT CCAG green box in the lower right corner? WTF?

Black screen!...?

NOT taking the measures necessary to reduce emissions is already costing us a lot. The costs threaten to be much larger as we continue with our reckless habits.

The maximum potential sea level rise is 65 meters. I give lectures about it for years. What people people must understand is the ‘runaway effects’ from nature.. I discovered that it is a convincing argument. 👍🏻❤️

Mr. King has the right numbers.. And: Global oil consumption is at 100 million barrels a day at this very moment.

You remember the HOTTEST DAY ON RECORD!© script, played out last week in the pan-Media, during the House vote on the $898B Defense ReAppropriations with their $10sBs in Green Slush Fund Rider? *It was a COMPUTER SIMULATION in the fine print!* _Another stinkin' "model"!_

I would like to see calculations how much of that ice-free status is caused by the record volcanic activity under the ice.

The question that never seems to get addressed is, how could a few hundred ppm CO2 in the cold atmosphere ever possibly radiate enough energy to melt ice or even measurably influence the temperature of the rest of the atmosphere?

I haven't heard you mention the dense volcanoes that are known to be under the ice sheets ? - surely they have a significant impact on - melting and warming not only in Antarctica- but for the whole world? Why isn't it part of any equation here?

The heart and lungs of Earth Breathe in breathe out You can breathe in but not out and Vise versa is the purpose of the poles, same in all life So something bound to happen.

Great work. Unfortunarely the metals and minerals necessary to move to low emissions energy are not available to replace fossil fuels except for a small portion of current global population. Consequently fossil fuels will be used to economic depletion. Economic depletion is when the cost of suppling the commodity is more than the value of the commodity. This will happen within just a few decades. So 4 C warming and 2-3 m sea level rise before 2100.

for most of us, the war will kill us way before climate... and the solar max is expected in 2025, if we pass 2027.... then we should be good for a long time. so hold on tight, and stay in good shape, as these disasters can test you to the limit. God help us all.

For the non Brits watching, the presenter is also a TV presenter, legend!

Only Love Remains ❤️

I am Dutch. Governments are chosen. So the first thing we have to implement is PUBLIC AWARENESS ! Otherwise people don’t vote for parties that are in favor of the harsh measures that are necessary. Democratic system

And so the aim of going over 1,5 degree is swiftly talked over with the new aim of 2degrees. In 10 years we'll be talking 4 degree

Well then we just cannot wait for 2041 to review the Antarctica treaty. This Must be done now as enough damage over there has been done. Where Are our warriors?

With all due respect, the research team needs to remove the CO2 goggles and take another look at the information presented without the confirmation bias. CO2 is not (from a physics standpoint) capable of producing the indicated ocean warming. It is much more likely that the ocean warming is from sub-sea volcanic activity and the current solar maximum (which is producing the elevated air temperatures across the land masses. The El Niño is also likely being produced by subsea volcanic activity based on the characterization of the ocean depths. West antarctic is riddled with faults and volcanic activity and although not yet characterized the East antarctic is likely the same.

Terrifying. In my book i agree with Hansen's SLR estimates. Pluvicopia technology is the only theory to control sea level rise impliedbby this news. The book shows how to use the warer cycle for rapid CO2 control, by sequestration and energy regime replacement. Pluvicopia technology is probably the most crucial and urgent development for civilization.

Now, children, come on over here. I'm going to tell you a bedtime story. Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin. Once upon a time, there lived a magnificent race of animals that dominated the world through age after age. They ran, they swam, and they fought and they flew, until suddenly, quite recently, they disappeared. Nature just gave up and started again. We weren't even apes then. We were just these smart little rodents hiding in the rocks. And when we go, nature will start over. With the bees, probably. Nature knows when to give up

After producing dirt , we want to hide it under the carpet.
