    enjoyed your video. wow, the valley must've been so gorgeous and productive. shame to see what happened to it. i'd say the native peoples were here much longer than what we've been told!!! and archaeology, not always mainstream smithsonian jesuit style, has been proving that out. i long to see california back in the day. found a beautiful chert point the other day, brown color, out near san simeon. found some in tehachapi too as well as grinders and other pieces... and elsewhere. long live the "Indians!" They were much more advanced as people than anything "civillization" has produced. Read Ishi!! Cheers. Thanks!

    Before it was called McKittrick it was called Asphalto. By the Indians, that would make balls from the tar to cook with.

    Dr. Mayfield asserts in the talk that forest thinning keeps forests as carbon sinks. In reality this has been questioned; see for instance: Bartowitz, K. J., Walsh, E. S., Stenzel, J. E., Kolden, C. A. & Hudiburg, T. W. Forest Carbon Emission Sources Are Not Equal: Putting Fire, Harvest, and Fossil Fuel Emissions in Context. Frontiers For Global Change 5, 867112 (2022). Furthermore, thinning alone may make forest fires worse (by drying out the forests) if there is not extensive prescribed burning to remove ground-level vegetation. The use of heavy machinery for thinning damages the forest floor and harms the ecosystem. A century of forest mismanagement by the federal government has shown that thinning and harvesting alone is ineffective, especially in the face of climate change. The suppression of cultural burning throughout California by the government has brought us to this critical point. I am disappointed that this aspect of climate justice was ignored in the talk. The talk also fails to raise the crucially important question of the moral hazard: Some will use CDR to claim that there is no longer a need to reduce carbon emissions from particular sectors. Keeping the moral hazard front-and-center should be an essential part of any discussion of CDR.

    Thank you for the great history. I was born in 1957 in Sanger, Ca and raised in the San Joaquin Valley as were my parents (born in Sanger/Reedley) with family in Porterville which is north and near Bakersfield. I worked in the petroleum industry and spent time in this area in cited this documentary. We did see small seeps dispersed in the hills in the Kern area. Thanks for this great history.

    The San Juaquin Valley was pushed out of the ocean as the N. American continent reached the end of the plate boundary (moving West) and is backed up against the San Andreas Fault. Thinking in unverifiable "millions of years" is ridiculous. The whole valley could return to an inland sea within 1 day - and almost unanimously among psychics, it will.
