I know you said the last sentence jokingly, Hank, but in the part of the world, preserved anthrax spores being revealed by melting permafrost is totally a thing that can happen. So you know, bears, mosquitos, and potentially anthrax.
The "tadpole" descriptor made me giggle, but before I could think of a good BG3 reference myself Hank followed up with the nod to Boo. You all are hecking awesome :D
I was originally an environmental physics major in college. Then I learned about the Doorway to the Underworld. Then I learned about all of the other places around the arctic circle where permafrost is melting. And I learned of the consequences of all those bacteria and all those trapped greenhouse gases getting suddenly released. I changed my major, had a depressive breakdown in my chemistry professor’s office, and still live in existential dread of climate change.
You say there is nothing much we can do about it. but we could if we were motivated to do so. Eg: Covering the entire huge area with a reflective layer to emulate the white snow. Ensuring some insolation to contain the cold. Maybe even creating snow as they do on the ski fields.
Because some shapes are so simple and basic that lots of things having those shapes can resemble one another. You may have noticed the uncanny resemblance of the planet Neptune with the humble period; the one that will appear at the end of this very sentence. What’s it all mean? Did I just summon a mini Neptune into these comments? Or was it Uranus? Or wa
I really wish people would stop calling regular scientific phenomena crazy clickbait things like "doorway to hell" or "god particle". Those names don't mean anything, and honestly don't even make sense! Heck, there's a burning pit that's been burning for decades because of the coal in the ground or something, calling that one a "doorway to hell" is at least on brand.
Whole thing seems a little low effort (even though there’s probably a bunch of employees) and feels like Mr. Beast talking about moderately interesting science
It is what it is. This channel is like that. They lured me with this one, but I won't be back in a hurry. It's just that everything isn't for everybody, and this isn't for me.
Scishow didn't used to resort to clickbait titles. Blame the UA-cam algorithm? Also the burning pit is called the Darvaza gas crater and is in Turkmenistan. It is burning natural gas and was accidentally created by - surprise! - Soviet engineers looking for natural gas fields.
@@mailcs06 They also tried using nukes to excavate a canal, then stopped once they realized all they had done was make a very radioactive lake. And then there was another lake in a town where they made the materials for warheads. They just used that lake for dumping. It was so radioactive that standing by it for an hour would kill you. Long-term environmental consequences just weren't a consideration, ever.
I thought this was the Doorway to Hell in Turkmenistan you guys covered years ago. Took me half the video to release it's something else when I noticed the lack of a fire.
I do not believe co2 released into the air from previously stored pockets is necessarily a bad thing. first is what our atmosphere is comprised of: 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 0.9% argon, with the remainder being EVERYTHING else including co2, water vapor, and methane. doing quick math tells that the everything else is 0.01% of our atmosphere. putting more co2 into the air may actually lead to more oxygen as plant matter converts it to oxygen. Just how volcanoes may cause a spurt of tree growth around them by blasting with co2 heavy gases. it leads to better growth
just the fact all that all that is down there shows the earth goes in cycles and its probably not humans that are doing it or the layers wouldnt be there in the first place.
