Well, howdy there internet people, let's bow again.

0:04.0

So today we are going to talk about Greenland and ice and sea levels

0:12.0

and how some things are just inevitable. They are going to occur

0:19.5

no matter what actions we take.

0:23.0

Because there's a really interesting study,

0:25.0

and it had a cool name in the concept,

0:29.0

so it's gotten a lot of attention.

0:31.0

And it's about ice that is in Greenland that is basically cut off from

0:38.7

the process that keeps ice. Even though right now it's still ice. There's more than a hundred trillion tons of ice that

0:49.7

won't stay ice. This is what they are calling zombie ice. This study was designed to provide a

1:00.1

1:39.8

I want to say 1.5 degrees per decade for like the last 40 years. This has already been set in

1:47.4

motion and when you look at it and you compare it to Noah's estimate as an example.

1:53.8

Noah is saying 10 to 12 inches over the next 30 years.

1:58.3

We're going to see it.

2:00.3

It's going to a car. Now one thing that is really important when it comes to talking
