    Hey Joe, I've been meaning to write this for a few weeks now. I went to my wife's nieces graduation at U.T. about 3 weeks ago. We drove down from Fort Worth where our home is and stayed for the weekend. And all the way there I said "I wonder who will be the guest speaker". So you can imagine my surprise and delight when you walked out on stage lol! I poked my wife and said "oh crap look who it is!". You gave a great speech and I especially enjoyed your take on A.I. as it mirrored my thoughts on the subject as well as Adam Conovers who I'm also a big fan of lol. Anyways, I meant to leave this comment sooner but here we are 3 weeks later. I've been watching your channel for years now so it was a wonderful surprise. Plus my father graduated from U.T. in the 60s so it was a special experience for me all around. Keep doing what you do!

      I wasn't aware that ALL the ice thickness data came from Russia. I thought the US Navy subs collected this too. Maybe that was just missed in this video. I think ice data came from both the US and Russia, but their subs operated in different places than our subs did so getting the ice data from both militaries would have given a much better picture of it.

Ideas, both good and bad, must always be allowed to be discussed together in an open forum, very much so to bring exposure to good ideas - for they may improve our lives - as well to bad ideas - for in doing so we may enlighten and educate the "disbelievers"; not to mention it puts both sides on an equal level, showing respect and humanizing both parties - only then can you educate someone and change their mind.

    The US GAGE program maintains a very accurate array of position sensors across the western mountains in the Americas. There is a lot of noise in these measurements. Some smart person figured out that a tremendous amount of environmental information was correlated with the noise. They can tell snow depths, moisture in the overhead air and many other values from this noise. This repurposing of information can really be a gold mine.

    Yes, you (and the UN agency) are correct. While the definition you mentioned highlights one aspect of climate change, it is not the complete picture. Climate change refers to a broad range of changes occurring in the Earth's climate system. It encompasses alterations in temperature, weather patterns, precipitation, atmospheric conditions, and other factors that influence the climate on a global or regional scale.
    In addition to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns, climate change also involves:
    Sea-level rise: As global temperatures increase, glaciers and ice caps melt, leading to the rise of sea levels. This phenomenon poses significant risks to coastal regions and low-lying areas.
    Ocean acidification: Increased carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are absorbed by the oceans, resulting in acidification. This can harm marine ecosystems, including coral reefs, shellfish, and other organisms that rely on carbonate ions to build their shells and skeletons.
    Extreme weather events: Climate change can lead to more frequent and intense extreme weather events such as hurricanes, droughts, floods, heatwaves, and wildfires. These events have severe consequences for human lives, ecosystems, and infrastructure.
    Biodiversity loss: Changes in climate patterns can disrupt ecosystems and threaten biodiversity. Many species may struggle to adapt to rapidly changing conditions, potentially leading to extinctions and imbalances in ecosystems.
    Impacts on human societies: Climate change has wide-ranging social and economic implications. It can affect agriculture, water resources, human health, food security, and economic stability, particularly in vulnerable regions.
    While the burning of fossil fuels is a significant contributor to climate change, other human activities such as deforestation, industrial processes, and agricultural practices also contribute to greenhouse gas emissions and exacerbate the problem.
    Therefore, it is important to recognize that climate change encompasses a broader scope of impacts beyond just shifts in temperatures and weather patterns.

    Interesting, I wonder if such attempts were made to declassify oceanographic data collected by the navies of the leading powers like the US, Russia, UK and France. I would think it would contain a treasure trove of temperature and salinity data collected over decades. It would really provide crucial evidence of a warming planet (if it shows that ocean temperatures have been rising). The ocean is a much better indicator of climate change.

    11:28 - No, they never "could resolve better than a license plate". The aperture of the latest generation Keyhole satellites' telescopes is about 2.5m (Hubble uses essentially one of those) - the limit is fairing size on the launchers used. The best one can do with that, even with perfect "seeing" (atmospheric condition) is tell whether there _is_ a license plate, in the form of a very blurry splotch (or, on digital images, one or two pixels.) To read a license plate, you need something similar to JWST (or good old reconnaissance aircraft, probably uncrewed.)

    It still makes no sense to me when people make this "democracy vs communism" comparison. It's like comparing oranges to dollars. They're both things, but that's where the comparison ends.
    Democracy is a political system. Communism is an economic system. The US is a capitalist democracy. The Soviet Union was a communist dictatorship.
    Singapore is a capitalist dictatorship, and a communist democracy has never been realised. Most European countries are a mix between capitalist and socialist democracies.
    Anyway, the things people always despise about communism come down to oppression. Oppression is the opposite of what communism should be. But oppression is the result of a dictatorship.
    I don't want to necessarily advocate for a switch to communism because that economic system has some significant flaws. But there are definitely a lot of good things about it as well. We can take the good things and implement them without taking the bad parts. But this first requires to get rid of the stigma associated with the term "communism". And that in turn starts with properly using the word by only using it when it refers to the economic system

    Another great video, but I got what’s probably a weird unrelated question, how did you stylize your face in the thumbnail to look like that? Totally feels like it’s from a poster out of the 60s.

    I find it odd that it's always democracy vs communism. Those are not mutually exclusive.
    It should be democracy vs. autocracy or capitalism vs communism.

      The US has always spun communism as being anti-democratic. Interestingly we really liked doing that while assassinating democratically elected leaders and installing dictators in their place.
      The trick here is that they aren't lying, they're just not giving the whole story. The US wants to have its oligarchs democratically control the world while communism always wanted all people to democratically control it.
