Greenland Dilemma: Balancing Nature's Fragility and Humanity's Impact | SLICE EARTH | FULL DOC

Ғылым және технология

Greenland, "Green Country" of the Vikings, carries a misleading name. In winter or summer, most of this autonomous region of Denmark, four times larger than France, is covered with a thick armour of ice.
We believe ice to be inert, but in truth moves. And in Greenland its own weight drags it towards the sea. Lately, this movement has tended to accelerate sharply, which over time will affect the level of the oceans.
Each of us contributes to making this island the green country that it was thousands of years ago. All around the world, millions of people risk paying dearly for this resurrection.

    The real issue is the enormous amount of heat energy absorbed by melting ice: 144 BTUs/pound, and 1.2 trillion tons are melting annually, 3.3 billion tons per day. Human burning of fossil fuels generating GHGs and the Greenhouse effect is one element but so is the waste heat from our burning of 8 billion tons of coal per year, and 100 million barrels of oil per day, 13.3 million just in the US. All together, we are generating the heat energy equivalent of 13 Hiroshima yield nuclear bomb blasts PER SECOND. Have a lovely flight/drive. We are celebrating the Memorial to our species and refuse to admit it or raise a finger to halt our demise.

    42:23 : _..."some 125 years ago, the earth orbit was different from what it is today. The climate was warmer. The average temperature in Greenland was then 5° warmer."_ (sic) 😮 Really ? 🤔 Not *_125000_* years ? 😉

    Core samples prove 8,000 year's ago with no human activity the ice melted at a fast RATE. How do you EXPLAIN America's Great lakes carved out by RECEDING GLACIERS 12,000 YEAR'S AGO.

    The fermie cells of Earth's double torus OOrt cloud magnetosphere are heating up due to the mystery of the 7 star crossings Jesus held in his hand. Come to Jesus as he united & warned us all about these the birthing pains of this the millennium of climate change end times due to the precession of the sun's shadow millennial alpha omega equinoxes when earth's orbits cross the sun's ecliptic for a 1,000 years.

    Let me take a guess and say you’ve not studied any of the IPCC reports? Those are the intergovernmental reports put together by scientists all over the globe.. you should study one. The Great Lakes glaciers melted because the ice age ended.. the ice age doesn’t represent Earths balanced state. Give those papers a look to understand how and why earths weather changes over varying amounts of time.. sometimes it’s thousands of years.. sometimes it’s millions.

    Well seeing how you asked nicely, the 12600 year earth oblique angle change which follows a three petal type pattern of northern pole wander, brings dramatic climatic change by repositioning sun angle we face, slight changes overtime along with plate tectonics that occur in rapid bursts at times also bring relative changes. The 12600 cycle has peaks at quarter intervals and half intervals with things like, in far history, decan traps, new England super volcanic district formation coinciding nicely, others included LA champ, permian end and many others. Humans have seen only half cycle, destruction and burial of egypt for but one example recently, abandoned ancient rock cities in Asia probably the most recent event triggered by the cycle. Of course the cycle also includes magnetic reversals, physical pole wander and magneto pause, no incoming radiation protection for about 100 to 1000 years that previously caused species to mutate regularly under gamma irraidition, the survivors come out changed hence our fossil record... Our 12600 is up in 2046. Fir full cycle. Weak, modern humans will not generally survive cave dwelling once more to escape the incoming radiation.... Hope that gives you an accurate picture where we currently sit, on the edge of an unsurvivable event. We may not make it past the preceeding events like increasing magnetosphere reduction down 20,% since 2012 and poles continue to wander at increasing pace, grid down long before full magneto pause will undo most, the lucky few seeing the actuall events will wish they did not, including rapid plate shifting, basalt flood events, global flooding as temperature goes up without radiation protection of magneto and magma boils..... The remnants of events we are really bad at aging are more recent than we think with recycled rock cannot be dated accurately volcanic event ages are speculative beyond 2000 years.... Its not hard to learn of our actual cycles are well documented in science journals, but no one will come out and warn of this and events leading up will be manipulated in the media to hide reasoning.... Panic is not conducive to survival so sit back enjoy the end times show of panicked governments. USA and Russia are ready known scince major whites study in the 60s, nuclear war was used to justify the construction of underground installations are not for nuclear war at all. Note worthy is all nuclear weapons are geomagnetically targeted to prevent errors.....

    Lets hope its melt in next few years. Earlier its melt better it would be.

    How does this equate with the increasing mass balance logged yearly by Denmark? Throw together a few summer melt pictures and create a scare. Pathetic.
