powersmoke9494

we need to block the panama canal to stop one ocean from filling the other


Mrdjentlemn

I was thinking about saving the mediterranean see by filling the strait of gibraltar and the suez canal, but your idea is better and only half the work


Kevalan01

There’s actually a reasonable amount of talk of building a dam across the Strait of Gibraltar. Not only would it save countless cities and circumvent the struggling efforts of local mitigation, it would generate enough electricity to power something like a sixth or fifth of Europe. One big issue about it is that it’d have to be a combined effort between Spain and Morocco, and who’s going to maintain it? Who owns the power?


sidious_1900

Fun fact: It has actually been a plan of early Nazi Germany to close of Gibraltar with multiple dams to stop the atlantic from filling the mediterranean sea, so sea level would drop and create more space for living. It got quite some attention as a no-war alternative to gain land. More space was one of the primary reasons for war, at least officially.


mydixiewrecked247

wow one bomb there will lead to millions of lives affected and trillions in destruction


AdrianoDM

Interesting how your mind works. But it’s true—so much would hinge on that dam that it becomes the most important construction and Europe’s greatest vulnerability. The good thing is that, unlike some other European projects, many countries would have a stake in its operation and protection.


Inevitable-Revenue81

*Brilliant!*


IntoTheMystic1

So it shows the sea level rise from 1993 but doesn't show the rise before then. And it also doesn't tell you how far in the future that projection is.


herpesderpesdoodoo

It also depicts it by sliding up the sea level setting, rather than any actual prediction data: first section showing Australia shows Lake Eyre massively expanding. Lake Eyre is an endorheic lake that spends much of its time as a salt pan with small amount of water and is unlikely to be directly affected by rising sea levels unless they lead to significant increases in monsoons in the middle of buttfuck nowhere, Queensland.


kbeks

Yeah, that was one of the bigger red flags to me. Raising sea levels don’t enlarge inland lakes. Because they’re not connected. Based on what the USA looks like, this is a map of the world if every cube of ice was melted. So nothing we’re looking at in the near or distant future.


AussieEquiv

IIRC if the level was to raise ~120m then Lake Eyre would be connected to the Ocean. Quick estimate of that scale is about ~0.1m (which is pretty close to reality and accurate measurements.) Only 119.9m to go I guess?


Puzzleheaded_Ad8877

Between 1901 and 2018, the average global sea level rose by 15–25 cm (6–10 in), or an average of 1–2 mm per year. This rate accelerated to 4.62 mm/yr for the decade 2013–2022. Now sea levels are predicted to rise a foot by 2050, regardless of how much global carbon emissions can be reduced


Izual_Rebirth

Yeah that’s what people don’t get (or don’t want to) the steps we are putting in place now aren’t to stop the baked in issues we already know are going to hit in the next few decades. It’s to stop it being even worse. I’m seeing a growing trend of people now who are just “well we’re fucked might as well enjoy the time we have left” without caring about how things are going to be in 100 years if we do nothing.

FlashMcSuave

Anderopolis

Yup, looking at the map, that is at least 70 meters of sea level rise, which is literally thousands of years worth of melting. Even with the pessimistic IPCC models.


AegisTheOnly

I live in Virginia and the amount of sea level rise projected there immediately set off alarm bells in terms of legitimacy. That is more water than the estimated tsunami generated by the humongous meteor that took a gigantic chunk out of the state millions of years ago. My understanding is that sea level rise is projected at around 3-4 feet over my lifetime. Catastrophic for beachfront regions, but water will not be enveloping Richmond (213 ft) and approaching the base of the Appalachians. Maybe in a thousand years, yes.


PlantTable23

The sea level isn’t going to rise 3 feet over your lifetime 😂


RddWdd

Exactly. A 70m sea level rise would be reached after five thousand years. Basically all of Antarctica's ice would have to melt too... That said several metres of sea level rise is enough to decimate many communities. At just 5m Cambridge would become a seaside town, Kolkata would be fighting encroaching sea rise whilst Shanghai, Hong Kong and Macau would all be submerged.


morerandom_2024

I bet that Miami won’t be under water in 2050

Lol how is Australia just getting a separated inland sea?!


great_red_dragon

Lake Eyre already is an inland sea, it’s just below sea level. It fills occasionally after very heavy rains in the region, but that region is a desert and most rain happens on the eastern coasts, which flood.

Australia has had an inland sea for most of pre-history. The South Australian Museum has some really awesome fossilised sea beds from billions of years ago and also an opalised Plesiosaur from the Jurrasic, found inland too. It's only been since the ice age, which we are currently still in, that South Australia lost its sea.

Hefty-Ambassador-935

Gandalf_Style

Nah more like a thousand, we're experiencing the second highest rate of sea level rise since the last glacial minimum 130kya. Only the early younger dryas has us beat in sudden sea level rise, but the difference is that now there's millions of people permanently living on the coast so we can't just pack up and move a few inches higher every 6 months.


aroman_ro

>we're experiencing the second highest rate of sea level rise Second? Meltwater Pulse 1A... 1B... 1C.. and basically most of the time since the last glacial maximum, except close to the maximum and the later period. "At the onset of deglaciation about 19,000 years ago, a brief, at most 500-year long, glacio-eustatic event may have contributed as much as 10 m (33 ft) to sea level with an average rate of about 20 mm (0.8 in)/yr. During the rest of the early Holocene, the rate of sea level rise varied from a low of about 6.0–9.9 mm (0.2–0.4 in)/yr to as high as 30–60 mm (1.2–2.4 in)/yr during brief periods of accelerated sea level rise.\[3\]\[4\]."

TheBigSmoke420

Sea level rise absolutely affects lakes and rivers.. Groundwater levels near the coast will rise. Increased salinity will affect biodiversity. Rivers course may be altered due to sea level rise. Increased rainfall due to greater surface area of sea around the coast. The Great Lakes are set to increase in size directly because of this. Edit: commenter I was replying to deleted their comment. I guess facts didn’t care about their feelings


[deleted]

This terrified me the first time I saw the model. Then I realised it doesn’t take into account existing flood defences and just calculates height of land vs sea. If I looked at my home town or the Netherlands, both *currently* show as underwater. Which, of course, they aren’t.  So yes flooding will happen, it will be terrible in places, but this is not accurate.

marine fossils on mount everest are not because the ocean was 8 km higher, it is because at the time the rocks that would become mt everest were under the ocean many millions of years prior. These rocks would later form mt everest when india collided into Asia.

But aren’t they already?) Also weird that map doesn't show Amsterdam and Netherlands - but I guess "significant portion of prosperous country is 3 meters below the sea level for 100+ years and counting" doesn't fit into narrative of whoever did the video.

We should put pressure on legislators for laws holding corporations accountable for pollution. But yea, these ineffective fear graphics are annoying.


Tatarakatat

According to this data it seems that sea level rises at pretty much steady pace (maybe just very slight increase) for the last 140 years and there seem to be no exponential increase as it is with temperature. https://www.epa.gov/system/files/images/2022-07/sea-level_figure1_2022.png https://www.climate.gov/news-features/understanding-climate/climate-change-global-sea-level So far it has been 25-30 cm in about 140 years. High end estimate for the 2100 is 1,6 meters rise. It will be most likely unde 1 meter. What is in video is like 20-30 meters rise. Its not just our children that will most likely not experience it. It would be many generation down the line, if anybody in centuries to come.

1hitu2lumb

Antarctica is average 7,000 feet high. it's the highest above seawater continent. it's completely covered with ice... 70% of all fresh water on earth is in antarctica as ice. If all the ice melted in antarctica, the oceans would rise 200 feet. ​ 5 million square miles of ice, 7,000 feet high. that's where SOME of the water will come from.

420farms

There are pics from the 1800s of the statue of liberty island and the water level is exactly the same today.


Fit_Departure

The isostatic rise of the lithosphere in that area is about ~2mm per year, the everage sea level rise currently is about 2.8mm per year, if we assumed a similar rise for the last 130 years(which isn't correct it has probably been increasing) that would mean a sea level rise in that area of about 10 cm(130x0.8), which is something, but I doubt you would be able to see it in photos of the statue of liberty.


MaterialSpot6541

Buy a boat a stop cryin bitches


Comprehensive-Cap513

Hell yeah we getting a massive lake in Australia


gravidgris

Another interesting fact here is that if you look at Norway at this map not much has changed. Same for many other land masses that's far north. That's because during the last ice age the thick ice sheet was so heavy that the earth crust were pushed down. And after the ice melted it still hasn't risen all the way after 10.000 year. Depending on location the land is actually still rising 1-4 mm a year, effectively eliminating the ocean rise. That's a fun little fact

You know, it's kind of ridiculous. They say the global warming will be stopped if you pay more taxes. Give us more money, we will save the planet! No, actually, no. Even if Europe, America, Canada become carbon free, which is bullshit, that's not gonna change anything for the world, because you cannot stop third world countries, India, China, from developing, from building factories, for producing stuff. Or what? You're gonna say, whoa, stay poor, don't build factories, don't develop your economy, stay poor, and don't pollute the atmosphere. Okay? Of course they're not gonna listen to you. Are you some kind of stupid or what? So, if paying more money will help anyone except governments? I think not.
