NASA scientist: Arctic sea ice could disappear in 20 years – Everything Law and Order Blog

The Real News Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez sits down with NASA climate scientist Nathan Kurtz, who just returned from a research trip from the Arctic, to discuss the scale of the disaster facing us and what we can do about it.

Nathan Kurtz received his B.S. degree in Physics from Iowa State University in 2004, and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Atmospheric Physics from the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) in 2007 and 2009, respectively. He worked on sea ice thickness retrievals from the original ICESat mission during his graduate school studies, and has since focused his work on improving model parameterizations and satellite-based retrievals of sea ice properties from NASA’s Operation IceBridge mission, as well as ESA’s CryoSat-2 radar satellite.

  1. very very sad. I always think of the poor polar bears who were never supposed to be able to swim such distances. you can almost see it in their eyes. like they know something is wrong.

    thank you for this interview, it was very well done 😊

  2. Right.
    They already told us this 30 years ago. And before that it was the ozone layer. Before that it was acid rain. Before that it was the “population bomb” and global starvation.

    And there are people who believe these hysterical narratives. Every time.

  3. Unfortunately dystopia is now inevitable. Global debt to GDP is 400%. Global fossil fuels supply is near permanent decline particularly oil. Fossil fuels supply 84% of global energy. Food production is 95% fossil fuel input. The metals and minerals needed to electrify the energy system are neither in supply or in known reserves. As the Arctic ice declines each year a larger portion of the remianing ice is lost. CO2 takes millennia to decline. 4 C warming and 2-3 m sea level rise by 2100, the most realistic projection. Two major tipping points; ice free Arctic release of CH4 and CO2 from the ocean floor and millions of sq km of thawing permafrost, stratospheric warming vaporizing stratospheric clouds reducing reflectivity increasing isolation.

  4. We've heard that before. In 2007 Al Gore received a Nobel Prize and said the Arctic Ocean could be free of ice in summer by 2014. In the summer of 2022, the last before this video was published, there was as much ice as in 2007.

  5. One of the greatest threats is the high speed release of methane gas that will occur when arctic temperature rises just a few more degrees. There will be a 10 to 15 years global temperature rise capable of extinguishing most of humanity and life on earth. A few may survive. Maybe 🤔

  6. If I told you we're all toast by 2030 you'd ignore it. If I handed you a solution you'd ignore it. Climate deniers have no monopoly on willful suicidal ignorance.

  7. I am beginning to think that they are more afraid of what will be exposed as the ice caps melt. Stop destroying nature and using weather manipulation as a weapon and let the planet heal. itself

  8. This is such a good presentation of the effects of the different types of ice, something that's never explained or even mentioned in other news reporting. Lots more people need to see this. Namely, our inept and uninformed legislators.

  9. Scientists whose research is dependant on gov't funding are subjected to the politization of their data. Anything politicized is jaded and leads to bad policy. Bad policy allocates resources poorly and doesn't solve problems,

  10. Stop with the fear mongering and hysteria. Isn't that an MSM thing? Don't need that bullshit here. NOAA predicted a very active hurricane season was forecasted. What happened? Climate predictions are guesswork. There was sea ice in southwestern Hudson Bay until mid August. Has John Kerry taken over from Al Gore flying around the globe in a private jet preaching about CO2 emissions. People see the obvious bullshit and will not change their behaviours.

  11. And yet, the arctic ice is more today that 20 years ago.
    Can ANYONE give me a number on the actual change in greenhouse effect?
    That should be job #1.
    ANYONE have a measurable number ????

  12. I predict the world will end tomorrow and if it doesn't i will predict it for the next day and the next, one day it will be right and remember i predicted it,

  13. How long has the earth been here? How long have we been tracking weather? What happened before the ice age? What caused the ice received back? I can keep going on and on. Storms, fire's and lot's of fire's have been started by man and people are building everywhere. There is going to be disasters this isnot going to stop, scare tactics. Makes good news.

  14. We the human animal are ignorantly forgetting one very natural fact. Our spherical planet earth is going through a natural cycle of climate change, from global warming to global cooling/freezing, as it has done repetitively over many millions of years before human kinds industrial endeavors. We can not and will not be able to stop this natural cycle. It is inevitable. Prepare for it and be ready to adapt as the human animal is so famously known to do, to each fluctuation as it happens. this is the only singular action the human species can take. No matter what human "activities" are changed it will not stop the final outcome, period. Natural forces are at work here, nothing else. Yet, we however with our industrialized "activities" have, and are, slightly speeding up the natural cycle. We cannot influence the global warming to stop and cool down. This planet is way too strong of a natural influence, and to actually believe that we the human species have the ability to stop global warming? You know what? Unh unh.

  15. What? There's still an ice cap? Damn, I heard it had disappeared in 1995, no, wait, 2000, no, wait 2004, no, wait 2008, no, wait, 2012, no, wait, 2015, no, wait 2020, no, wait…🥱🤣🤣🤣
