What If All the World's Ice Melted?
Ғылым және технология
Ice caps on both poles of the planet are melting. And not just a few. All of them. If all this ice melted, it would be catastrophic. How much would the sea levels rise? How would this impact global temperatures? And what would this mean for life on Earth? Would the coastal lands be completely submerged in water? What will happen to places like Denmark, the Maldives and Singapore?

First of all happy new year . I have question 🙋♂️what if all the water in the earth (including ice) went straight into our core...? Is the core melts or all the water would vapor. And what if core cool down or what will happen to all the water that vapor...?
HAPPY NEW YEAR WHAT IF

I recently compared two videos from this channel and there has been lots of quality changes. But one in particular caught my attention. Have you changed the tone of your voice? Because I saw that 1 or 2 years ago, it was more serious. Now it's a little bit funny.
Happy new year bros
I Have To Say. This channel is much better than being a graphic show. Do you guys show actual footage harder to do funner to watch. THANK YOU

Even if the ice was melting as fast as it could. It would still take thousands if years for all of the ice to melt.
“increase in average temperature to 27 degrees celsius!” : shows the entire planets surface burning in lava
All of world's ice melting at once would be terrific.
waiting for it to happen
I have a question: Would there be any snow falling in the winter if all ice melted overnight?
@insanelol-_-5521

no cause ice melted due to global warming and if all ice melted then it means that earth average temperature will be 27°C,if it will be 27°C then there won't be any snowfall after the sea covered the whole earth because due to it's high temperature there will be hot as well as cold in sea, winters will be dry,summers will be nothing cuz water is covered everywhere fishes got land as their 2nd home and after sometimes humans won't be able to live in cuz sea water has salt in it which will dry your skin and destroy the buildings u made if get in contact for days and months so humans will likely to die at that time cuz there's only sea water no fresh water u can't drink sea water to live u will be likely to be dead by kidney failure!!

Ice caps of our planet reflects 1/3 of the Sun's light back to space. If they melt away, the Earth starts to receive 33% more heat from our star. This means massive water evaporation on Earth. So the sea levels would actually NOT rise, rather it would mix with air, increasing the atmospheric pressure accordingly. Imagine all the water mass on Earth, added to our atmosphere! That is Venus, ladies and gentleman. As our beloved star matures and gets hotter and bigger, the Earth will turn into Venus!
Happy New year brothers❤️❤️❤️

From Bangladesh ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤All your videos are great...I love them😍😍😍
What if we removed all greenhouse gases from the atmosphere next pls. This was too devastating.
I live in Colorado so I say bring it on! Lol
Ice floating on water would NOT contribute to sea level rise. The ice already displaces water. And since water expands when it freezes, it would take less volume when it melts.

still a thing to be concerned because the heat also melts ice on land
Funny thing is, in order to watch this video, we all have somehow participated in speeding up the melting show
Ah man i wish time machines were invented i want to go to the future

Hello I like this video it is good and interesting for me to watch.

What about impact on stock prices?
I think it would have been funny if this video was only like 10 seconds long. "What would happen if all the ice melted? We'd die. The end."

Great question @WhatIf. (My Opinion) The answer is: There will be so many Tsunamis in 3 cm (I don't know if I'm right)
Maybe if they give up those new technologies that they been keeping from us for years would help
It would take more than 5,000 years for the whole of the ice to melt. So nothing to worry about in our time.
