ua-cam.com/play/PL6CpB0HxCh-8TLtEV2GD-ErqNC71zQ7yb.html&si=GLbzsxMsaigVrVLI Might help us all figure more out, but it's the most I've been allowed to put together at the moment, some videos have been removed ✔️ Description with patience, there's much I couldn't fit in there but most of researchable on this 31 year old version of "world wide" internet; Eritrea seems to only have internet cafes in certain spots... War there wasn't reported upon either
It's not just Washington! Ecologists have been warning us FOR DECADES that the decline of wetlands was going to be a problem. Carbon sequestering. Oxygen production. Biodiversity. All are important products from wetland environments.
I completely understand the information you are trying to convey, and I agree that wetlands are super underrated! However, the information could have been presented in a much less jarring way. I can tell you are trying to be flashy and catchy with the way you are talking, but being more genuine with the way you present content will go a much longer way.
So, these wetlands were there all along without our knowing it, and without climatologists taking them into account. That means that carbon dioxide is still skyrocketing, in spite of those wetlands. That't make matters worse instead of better. I suppose that the manner of presentation makes this suitable for teenagers, and they deserve a platform, of course. But IMO, the "carbon sinks for dummies" approach isn't suited for videos, see other comments.
@@bc4198 You would have to make them considerably larger to have the desired effect. And how do you know that large scale engineering terrain doesn't have bad side effects that we didn't think of? I mean, look at our past, it isn't exactly promising. Wherever we modified the landscape on a big scale, the results were generally terrible in the long run.
So…. The powerful winter precipitation makes the Hoh river run with a lot of force. A little while ago the land under the only road in to the valley eroded and caused half of the road to collapse. This started a chain effect of erosion that makes that road unsafe. So it is now closed. There is, as of yet, no solution for fixing the road as the price for all that needs to be done to create a new and safe road is more than what the local county (who owns the road) has to pay for that. So for now Hoh valley is isolated, and it is even against the rules for it to be entered on foot, bicycle or any other means right now. This is an example of one of the practical challenges of nature science. The need for money, permission, and for different agency’s to work together to allow any project to happen. Science is often a collaboration of many people as well as the physical tools, space and time for it to be done. So it’s good to know that we can work together to do big things, even if working together some times hard to do. It makes a project diverse, and diversity is the strength of every kind of system. Thanks for the info on the wet lands. What a treasure the old rainforest is. :)
Truly, a treasure! We love hearing your perspective about the practical challenges of nature science--we couldn't agree more, collaboration is key. And so is communication, so thanks for leaving a comment and sharing your thoughts about the challenges (and rewards!) of this special place.

Very important places... Builders fill them in
Chill, people - it's for a younger (or less stuffy) audience

So true!! Wetlands do so much, and you can find them everywhere but also...less and less each year. Sadly we largely take them for granted.

One of the most annoying videos I have ever clicked on
But fun and great information!
Thanks for your supportive comment, we so appreciate it!!
I liked it. So much better than AI-generated scripts narrated by robo voices and filled with stock footage.

Lol you're setting the bar pretty low. 😂😅
We aren’t fans of those AI voiceovers either. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
May I never see this channel again...Amen...

But it shows a powerful, potentially faster intervention than planting trees
