The Science Behind Global Warming (Documentary)

I made this for my final project in Chemistry in 11th grade. Hope you enjoy! This video details how we understand global warming, and the chemistry behind how it affects each and every one of us.

NASA just released a study showing that Antarctica is actually gaining ice at a faster rate than it’s losing it. Will this rise in ice help keep global warming at bay?

NASA Study: Mass Gains of Antarctic Ice Sheet Greater than Losses
http://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/nasa-study-mass-gains-of-antarctic-ice-sheet-greater-than-losses
“A new NASA study says that an increase in Antarctic snow accumulation that began 10,000 years ago is currently adding enough ice to the continent to outweigh the increased losses from its thinning glaciers.”

Is Sea Level Rising?
http://oceanservice.noaa.gov/education/pd/climate/factsheets/issea.pdf
“Sea level indicators suggest that global sea level did not change significantly from then until the late 19th century. The instrumental record of modern sea level change shows evidence for onset of sea level rise during the 19th century.”

  1. Actually with today's intelligence and technology, we can create a new way to produce oil or replace oil. But we were suppressed by a high power ( the one with oil money) because they depend on oil money and everything relative. Care to debate?

  2. We pump out millions of gallons of oil daily from beneath the surface of the earth. The core of the earth is molten. The reason the oil lies beneath sand of the middle East, and Texas, is to protect that barren area from overheating. The oil is a heat dispersing buffer protecting the barren landscape form the molten temperatures at the earth's core. The oil is beneath the sea, to keep the sea from overheating. We pump that oil also. Another abundance of oil is pumped from beneath ice. Once again, the oil is there to protect the ice from melting, as it is now doing. That's why temperature's are rising around the world. Global warming is real, and caused by pumping the protective oil out of the earth. What is the purpose of oil in your car? To keep the engine from burning up. Simple.

  3. there`s a live video for global warming . the video`s is whole earth , the red is warning 3 ,the yellow is warning 2 ,the white is stable , that am i right ? i think for disaster`s only , . i think that`s live video is gone ,.

  4. May Allah's peace and blessings be upon you.Thankyou for your beautifully complied research.The speakers spoke in peaceful and clear voices eaisly understandable for middle school students.Your video made understanding the global warming issue very easy.

  5. is this video the original cut?
    your video has sections cut out off it which i think has so much importance

    like the part where the methane's VERY VERY high percentage contribution to EGHG was de-emphasized (was this on purpose?) and other portions which i see noticeable bad cuts

    this is a demo short movie about an invention that could be a little solution for themal pollution and global waming, is a fully reversible window lockable in two directions /verses, in this way you decide to reflect or absorb the light using less heaters and airconditioners to keep the comfort saving energy reducing thermal pollution and global warming

  7. Global Warming is a F..king LIE You poor stupid liberals aka F..king MORONS…Watch Cowtopia produced by the same baby killing Gay loving trash that all of you are.

  8. Hey Emily. this is a fantastic video. Can i ask your permission to add subtitle to this video and use this for our enviroment protection project?

  9. For all you idiots out there, it's pretty obvious that the reason why the earth is warming is because climate changes normally.

  10. I know there is a water cavern over 400 miles below USA. They say its 3x the mass of our ocean. Always wonder what would happen if the earth plates popped that like a zit.

  11. your right about the name of this video you should call it "PROPAGANDA TV" global warming is nothing but bull its its all lies always has been a lie……they only told us the people this to let us complain about other things than a failing economy

  12. The water is warming up while the air is still pretty cold. freshwater from the melting ice has a much higher melting point than salt water. The oceans saltwater is replace by the freshwater from the ice which freezes at 0°C while saltwater freezes at up to -45°C

  13. Scientific facts you say..kinda like the ones they change their mind about every few years lol this shit is for mental midgets….

    Reply
  14. what if the fresh water coming from the melting ice mixing with the salt water is causing some of these strange Marine Mammal deaths and other weird phenomena

  15. NASA has said, that The Antarctica Gains ice every year. But but the the artic losses ice at a much faster said then Antarctica gains.

  16. The Earth will survive global warming.. What we are talking about is humans/animals/crops  living comfortably on earth. Crops wont grow in 120% heat. Many animals would die. There is a certain temp average  to live in comfort. Yes this planet has heated up before and cooled before. But life for humans/crops and animals during that time I'm sure was terrible! Planet Earth has NEVER HAD 7 BILLION PEOPLE LIVING ON IT, USING ALL OF THESE RESOURSES.

  17. There is a factual inaccuracy here. I mean other than the entire GW argument. The Antarctic has a net gain of Ice of about 135billion tons. This means that the added area of Ice is not simply due to melting and refreezing. The area of gain outweighs the area of loss. So where and how is this new ice forming. Also should this not offset the loss in the Arctic? If the Antarctic is flattening out from melting then that should also increase sun reflectivity.

  18. But Global Warming is a scientific fact. It started about 12000 years
    ago. But the reality is that we're actually in the middle of the Quaternary glaciation and this brief warm period is known as an "interglacial period".

    The scam is the theory that humans cause global warming. There is not enough evidence to support this theory. Humans pollute the Earth, yes… We eradicate lots of species… Yes… But our influence on global climate is insignificant. The theory of Anthropogenic Climate Change should be treated with a particularly high dose of skepticism because it is used as a launching platform for a new set of laws that will make the rich even richer, the poor even poorer while eroding civil liberties even more.

    For example… Ever heard of "the carbon tax", "carbon capture"? Really? If humans are the cause, you're gonna solve global warming with a tax? Really? And "carbon capture"? Really? Isn't just planting a fucking tree and stopping deforestation a better solution?

    You realize a scam is a scam especially when you look at the solutions proposed by the promoters of the scam. Because, of course, they have the solutions.

  19. 98% of climate scientists who have studied at university and in labs, studied ice core samples and a lot of other factual scientific data. These scientists say that global warming is a fact.
    While 98% of internet taught conspiracy theorists say it's a hoax and they seen a video about it once to prove it.
    A video made by another conspiracy theorist.
    Which one would you believe ?

  20. Thermodynamics 101
    Heat Seeks Cold.
    If the Temperature of the earth is raising at sea level, it's getting hotter everywhere.

    However, this is not the case.
    The upper atmosphere is not getting hotter.

    The Adiabatic effect still works.

    There is still snow on the top of Mountains.
