Agelbert NOTE: Given the devastation to human civilization resulting from
Hothouse Earth caused massively rising sea levels from Antarctic (and Greenland too!) ice melt, the ridiculous claim made in this video that hydrocarbons could then be extracted from Antarctica is worthy of disdain. By then, if there still exists some vestige of human civilization, hydrocarbons will be even more spurned by human society than hydrogen sulfide (
that is the posionous gas with the rotton egg smell we have all had a wiff of at one time or another).
That said, I urge you to view this video and pass it on because, in addition to the fact that all the ice melt caused geographic changes displayed are scientifically accurate, the deleterious effect on all salt water marine species due to less salty oceans is one more valid reason for action to
burning hydrocabons NOW,
not when disease vectors in less salty oceans combine with increased acidity to wipe out most of the ocean food chain. What if Antarctica MELTED?

A remake an old video of mine, hope this answered some burning curiosities! And no, there are not aliens or Nazi bunkers under the ice... that I know of.
I forgot to mention that under the Antarctic treaty, mining is TECHNICALLY prohibited on Antarctic, but that expires in around 30 years, and it's uncertain whether or not it will be renewed. Plus this is all theoretical anyway and would take place over many hundreds of years, if not thousands.
