What a great presenter. Who is this?
Sadly, there's no way to find out.

So, a couple of days ago I read an article on Popular Mechanics that perplexed me. The article was about Earth being 31.5" off its Axis, and they blame the fact that humans are pumping out a LOT of water from Earth. That's very trouble some for me because Why they don't blame the fosil fuel industries, or the mineral extractions that the planet is subject to all around ?...Water, at least, it get the chance to evaporate and create more water for the planet through rains. Fosil fuels that are extracted from the guts of our Planet are being burnt and converted into energy and NEVER go back to the great big hollow "compartments" that are being left empty inside the gut of our Planet. Has anyone ever thought that?...Oh well, I've lived my life and screw the generations ahead of us. Who the hell cares!! Right?...
Ok
