Every other Wednesday we present a new video, so join us to see the truth laid bare...
This spectacular five-part documentary series, presented by Tony Robinson, investigates the history of natural disasters, from the planet's beginnings to the present, putting a new perspective on our existence and suggesting that we are the product of catastrophe.
99% of all the creatures that have ever lived, no longer exist. They were wiped-out in a series of global catastrophes. Each disaster changed the course of evolution on earth. Without them mankind, nor any of the life we see around us, would be here today. For out of catastrophe comes rebirth. Evolution is a savage, imperfect and violent process. It's survive or perish. The earth's history of catastrophes has both moulded the planet and determined evolution. For each disaster led to another leap forward on the evolutionary trail form single celled bacteria to humankind itself.
Episode 2 - Snowball Earth
This programme delves into a world lying beneath a frozen surface. It is the greatest climate disaster ever to have hit Earth. 650 million years ago, a cataclysmic ice age sealed the entire planet beneath ice and snow, almost destroying life and turning the world into one huge snowball.
Snowball Earth uncovers the story behind one of the most controversial theories in science today. To investigate, the programme travels the world to follow scientists scouring southern Australia, Nevada's Death Valley and Alaskan glaciers for tantalising clues as to how our planet ran away into this doomsday scenario. The results could improve understanding of evolution and survival of life.

    I don't know how they can talk about extremophiles surviving snowball Earth without discussing the deep sea geothermal activity. Vents and smokers on the sea floor give a rich mix of nutrients and warmth that do not require light for life to live and thrive. That's a big chunk they left out.

    True. Another good documentary, Miracle Planet, explains just that and shows how thermophile bacteria live today in geothermal ponds in frozen parts of Iceland. Maybe there was life on shorelines too, where ice would break.

    "could we survive if snowball Earth happened today" I think the biggest problem would be food security. Quite simply, there are no crops that grow in ice. You need to either import soil atop the ice or keep an area ice-free when it's cold enough outside at the equator that salt water will freeze. You need a way to stop a glacier in its tracks and prevent any ice or snow accumulation on farmland and remove any ice or snow that does fall. You also need crops that can grow in very cold environments like permafrost, or widespread greenhouses. I suspect the latter is more practical. So large scale production of greenhouse tents would likely be necessary. Enough to cover all arable land you wanted to save. You could irrigate by putting greenhouses with black interior over the ice itself and melting it inside a greenhouse tunnel, thus giving a supply of clean water for farming.

    Interesting how the notion of Catastrophism has become suddenly popular, whereas 100 years ago Evolution and Gradualism were the orthodoxy. Note that Australia's glacial past is suggested by 'continental drift' theory (now Tectonic Plate Theory) but periodic Pole Shifts might also account for that, and fit neatly within the idea of catastrophic and sudden changes to the planet which have a good deal of evidence to support them.

Pole shifts have occurred, do occur and will continue to occur.

  • @carloammann6127
    @carloammann61274 жыл бұрын

    All the Ice on earth surface forms when the snow that falls on it, gets to be more and more and, doe to its own weight, it compresses itself into ice. So when the big freeze enveloped the whole planet it also froze the surface of the oceans and, in my humble view, that meant the end of cloud formation and precipitation all together. So where did those hundreds of meters thick equatorial ice sheets come from, just from residual air humidity? Or were they pushed towards the equator by the large weight of the whole northern and southern hemisphere, kilometre thick ice sheets? Just wondering how that was even possible. Is there anyone with an educated guess who could add light to this dilemma of mine? Thanks!

  • @13minutestomidnight

    Snowball earth developed from glaciers moving below the 30 degree latitude tipping point. Thus glaciers formed in the north and south and moved towards the equator, creating the drop-stone formation the documentary talks about (which cannot be created by normal snow formation processes). The glaciers over land would have joined at the equator ahead of glaciers over sea (the supercontinent spanned the equator on one side of the planet, with ocean on the other side), and the sea glaciers may only have been narrowly preceded by sheet ice (how much sheet ice I don't know). Once the oceans were covered in ice, no more water vapour could cycle from the sea into the atmosphere, which created a limiting cap for humidity in the atmosphere, but global temperatures would also drop the closer the glaciation got to the equator (the reflectivity of all the ice over the earth's surface area would lower planetary retention of heat), so water vapour remaining in the atmospheric system that would not have frozen before would have done so now, adding to the ice sheets. And yeah, glaciers actually move, so the glacier creation starts far from the equator, where year-around snow builds up, and the increasing weight of snow layers on top of each other incites a process that transforms ice into a glacier state (driven by the pressure gradient). The glacier movement follows the temperature differential. Someone else here might give you more but if you want more information than the basic broad outline I've given here, I suggest looking up the topic ("glacier formation and movement" might be helpful depending on what you want to know).

    This really doesn’t add up for me. There’s not enough information to explain a “runaway snowball Earth“ on the scale of Earth. To me, to initiate an extended freeze, you need: A) a thick atmosphere to block the Suns intense heat, like their nuclear bomb theory, which I’m fairly certain, weren’t invented yet, so what was it? Meteors, mass volcano? B) what remains in the atmosphere without CO2? C) with one land mass, there’s still plate tectonics, weather patterns of unknown intensity & type, especially over immense land & sea of unknown heights & depths. D) there’s the seasons where our thick ice caps expand & shrink. With opposing extremes at the same time on opposite sides of the planet. E) the Moon at that point in time, was closer & larger looming, creating intense tides, unless the water was mostly frozen, leaving a concentrated salty brine, I think? & surely there were meteor impacts punching holes, creating added havoc? Plus massive earthquakes & volcanoes, similar to those in frozen land areas, that create torrents of mud-floods or Lohars? An entire snowball Earth, for that length of time, is pretty hard to believe, like religion.

    I like the theory of reflection better than cyclic energy output of the sun, it makes more sense.

    No, just posh English for glaciers... That is gla...ci...al ( 'a' as in clay, not 'a' as in apple). They do the same with grass, pronouncing it 'grarse' and 'barth' for bath, amongst many other words.

    In areas of Australia has ice and snow like blue mountain NSW. And in the cool area where tiger snakes lived. To be honest that everywhere in Australia is temporated in south east. Tasmania is not that hot due to its climate the way it is.

    Single cell life occupied all the habitats, leaving little room for multicellular "experiments". Enter Snowball Earth, greatly reducing viable habitats, reducing the number of single cell life. As the earth recovers (from any great catastrophe), habitats open with minimal competition. Experiments are given a chance to develop superiority. As life fills all the habitats, life becomes (relatively) static again, requiring another catastrophe for the next big step. That is my story and I'm sticking to it....

    A great meteor hitting Earth can cause all kinds of change here on Earth ..our planet may have been a larger diameter changing our gravitational force. A different biosphere around the Earth we could have had all kinds of conditions change dramatically ..meteor hitting the Earth affecting our tectonic plates would have created our now existing continents.. carbon dating is based upon certain constants that may not have been constant before the meteor.. finally the change in atmosphere gravitational force cooling After the flood would have caused mass extinction of these animals most think lived millions of years ago

    A mention of when a glacier melts away it looks like a bulldozer came through. I'm thinking it might also open up a world of discovery. Am I rightly thinking about the discoveries that may be found on such a terrain?
