    I’m a delivery driver in metro Detroit and our sprawl is getting ridiculous. We are putting Walmart’s and strip malls in every field and forest within 75 miles of Detroit. In the past fifteen years since I started it has been dramatic. I drive past Canadian geese families all day long living around the fake run off evaporation ponds we build around these concrete slabs. These geese have been coming to these specific spots for thousands of years and we paved them over and they eat on the little patches of grass on the side of the road. They look homeless to me I feel so bad for them.

      Still, this is all theoretical... At best it's educated speculation. I'd say it's highly debatable as to the degree of accuracy of ANY documentaries dealing with this topic.
      I also find it suspect that this particular documentary is pushing the carbon-caused global warming angle, as well as pushing for the genetically modified food in order to weather the next extinction event. They are always using fear to try to push their agendas onto us. "We need to tamper with our food or we'll die from the next extinction event!"
      Also, trying to compare humanity to the Dodo Bird as far as becoming extinct in a short time, is a really weak argument. Unless we're expecting something to come and hunt us into extinction, I don't see why anyone would seriously bring up the Dodo, lol.

    The 252 million year old extinction event was associated with the Basalt from the Siberian Traps. Enough Lava came out to cover all the Earth 10 feet deep in basalt. The Antipode was in Antarctica where a very large impact event occurred. The one at 66 million years ago only has enough lava to cover the Earth a mere 3 feet deep. The antipode is the Chicxulub Impact event. Giant impact events fracture earth on the opposite side of the earth. The energy re-focuses at the antipode using reflection, and refraction of energy waves.

It made a hole the size of the state of Arizona, and fractured the Earth at the antipode in Siberia, and leaked Lava for millions of years. The Lava was up to 4 miles thick in Siberia. Now that is what I call a Lava flow. But it released so much acidic gasses that the Earths Oceans and land had a 90 Plus percent die off. Acidic Oceans. Fortunately this is a very rare event.
      Mega Zaps are around 186.6 million years apart. I have often wondered as to why some species survived, when most went extinct. I suspect the ones that were underground, or underwater, or in caves had a chance to survive, but if you were big, and out in the open on ZAP DAY, you got blasted, or cooked, or blown away, literally.

      It's not a small thing. In ancient times natural food sources were the energy supply. Drought meant your family had much less energy to survive. Now we use electricity. When that's cut off we do not have our energy supply to survive. The dynamic is the same, even if the energy source is different. Life needs a constant, reliable supply of energy. if that's cut off, death ensues. This hasn't changed since even the first mass extinction.

      Today we have lots of unstable loose surface made up of very small particles called soil. Soil will always be subject to erosion and is easily washed away. However, plants limit this by binding the small particles together with their roots so that it is not so easily washed away.
      Back at the start there was no soil, just very stable rock that did erode but at a very slow rate but it could not be just washed away. The roots broke up into the much smaller pieces that we call soil. So, then the rock could be, and was, washed away.

      Find a patch of hard dirt or rock - pour a glass of water over it and see how much sediment you get. Now bust up the dirt with a hammer or shovel and pour some water over it. Root structure helps soil erosion now but when plants first started to colonize the land the starting point or square one is not like we are used to it. These were pioneers if you will - now the land has had plant life for half a billion years and you have a variety of plants with varying root structure and ground cover from decaying material. Many of these are the shorter plants, mosses, algae and/or fungi that grow close to the ground.

    But with that comes low CO2, which is a requirement for most all plants, which then die off since
    there's no food for them to continue growth. As they die off, the bacteria consume those and you'd get lts
    of CO2 again, and this can happen rapidly from a geological point of view, like every

    Hi. Great work, especially the very long-term correlations between CO2 levels, temperature, and ice-melting. However there's one aspect of temperature rise I've never seen covered on a climate video, and that is "how much extra water evaporates in the tropics for each degree of temperature rise?" Obviously this is important, because if more water evaporates in the tropics than melts at the poles, the sea levels will go down, not up. Humidity, rain, and cloud cover will also increase, the latter reflecting away sunlight which will lessen global warming, but the humidity will increase it, like a heat trapping blanket.
    A major factor can be seen with a glance at any globe of the Earth: There is ten times as much area for evaporation in the tropics as there is area for melting at the poles. So which has the most powerful effect on sea levels, or have we reached a natural balance? I'd suggest that until we have some hard our computer models are no better than educated guesses.
    Confounding things further is that we use Mercator's two-dimensional projection of our three-dimensional globe, and this grossly distorts the relative sizes of polar areas and tropic areas, making the former look far larger than they are, and the latter smaller. We see a full width band of white at the top and bottom of the map and tend to panic when considering it all melting. It's more illusion than substance, but it still conditions our thinking with an unhelpful distorted perspective.
    A simple experiment could help sort this "melting versus evaporation" equation out. Make low flat-topped forty-foot triangular glass-houses, modelling the correct size dimensions of segments of the earth between the pole and tropics, and partially fill each with salt water. The bottom of each segment will vary according to the known contours of the sea floor, so the total quantity of water in the segments will be proportional to the oceans as well. Each triangle's apex, representing the polar area, would be chilled to the average Arctic or Antarctic temperature. These apexes will become mini- icecaps. The much wider bases of the triangles, representing the tropics, are heated to sea temperatures at the equator. Evaporating water at the base would migrate to the cold apex, and condense, as happens on earth now. This experiment could accommodate ocean currents, but it could not model weather air movements very well. It could at least give us a crude base of real-world knowledge. Computer models alone are not good enough, especially when they don't include measurements of evaporation. (Garbage in, garbage out.)
    Next, raise the temperature one degree C both at the poles and equators, then observe and measure. And so on. An experiment like this (but hopefully more sophisticated), could determine whether the hypothetical "tipping point" actually exists, and at what temperature it kicks in if does. Thanks for a very thought-provoking video, keep up the good work. Cheers, P.R.

      No, we're coming out of one that started about 30K years ago. In fact, that's a question as to how much of the current warming is due to man's influence, and how much is just the normal warming due to an ice age ending.

    • @YogiMcCaw
      @YogiMcCaw 5 місяців тому

      Well, it depends. If the polar regions being covered in ice is the determining factor, then yes, we are in an ice age.
      If you call it an ice age only when the ice sheets reach deep into what are now the temperate zones, then the answer is no.
      There is good evidence that if it wasn't for anthropogenic warming, the planet would now be beginning to enter a new cooling phase.
      If the current warming causes a mass extinction and human numbers are greatly reduced as part of the extinction event, we may see a rapid cooling after a millennium or so of warming. But if whatever the human population is at that time - say 50% or more or current numbers - reverts to fossil fuels to power civilization again, then we'll just heat everything up again and cause another extinction. How many times we repeat this depends on what percentage of the human race persists each time and whether we revert to fossil fuels after every extinction and cause another one.
      Given humanity's propensity for not learning from our mistakes and committing the same dumb mistakes over and over again, this is not at all an implausible scenario.

      Agreed There are natural heating and cooling periods - we are now entering a natural shift. The Earth's axis shifted several degrees zfter a huge earthquake several years ago- that plays a part in climate shifts. How mu h of these toxins or gasses were trapped in the ice that is melting, thus adding to the atmosphere? I haven't heard anything about that.
      I'm not saying humans have no part to play in the envirnment, but to blame it all on humans is ridiculous. Even in this video, things have been much more hostile for current lifeforms before and nature thrived. Does plastic pollution and overfishing/overhunting make no difference? Of course not! I just think there's a lot more to the story than the past 50 years humans have been doing things, compared to the millions of years that Earth (and sometimes space) has been killing life like an infection and life has started over once things calmed down.
