  • Bernie Krause has been recording wildlife sounds, or "soundscapes," for over forty years. He's amassed the largest archive in the world, and in doing so, can chart how wildlife sounds have changed over the course of climate change. Listen for yourself: the rising silence speaks volumes.​

      Lol no BBC maybe but CNN is nothing but overhyped misrepresented nonsense and now political propaganda. Leftists try to pretend like CNN is good now but it's not, they forget how they also use to hate CNN for going after Obama for stupid nitpicky little things. Joke of a tabloid, just like all american "news".

    I'm rewatching this video again after 7 years and I can guarantee, through observation and living, that things sound different where I grew up. Even the air smells different. Winters are shorter and summers are longer, snow is less and fires are spreading. Merely 7 years and already such drastic changes. I was 16 when I first watched this video and now 23. The earth is precious, and it is slipping

    we people have to realise the importance of earth's nature and climatic processes. We simply cannot use and destroy the environment not only we live in, but all these beautifull forms of life that may never be seen again. We need more people like bernie in this video and we need to focus our thoughts on a future not for us, but for the planet. I know, I'm just sitting here and talking about change while it isn't that easy. But it could be when we all help together.

  • @grail68

    this is sad. To witness the world die right before your eyes. I saw a video here, about a library of sound. They played a bird chirping. sounded like what you'd hear in the morning. Nothing special. The sound being played was from a male bird looking for a mate. he was the last of his kind.

      +Christopher Huffman TY for the reference. Bernie is often helpful to beginners or just those interested in the work or history of it in general, and suggests that they read his publications first. There is a great deal that can be found online about the chronology and development of Bernie's work, well before it was a long term " career", it was curiosity, connection, exploration, and unyielding effort to understand the voice of the natural world.

    He could be right. But this information can be skewed. Of course a forest will be silent after logging or a long drought. But go a couple miles down the road and it will sound as it has for the past few million years. Land gets damaged and eventually heals itself in a lot of cases. Now we could be going through a major extinction period, but don’t just watch this video and come to that conclusion. Research for yourself.

    Impressive measures but the conclusion is not scientific, how do you come to the conclusion that the earth warming is the reason for that phenomen? Maybe it is natural cycle... 2:00 Taking the measures from Costa Rica from 1992 and 1996 we could hear a very big difference but who knows how does it sounds now in 2019? 4 years is a very short time for conclusions and this whitout the cintific criteria of biologists and others. I would just say that this video is promoting the ideology of the Earth Warming and do not considerate the little scientfic value of the impresive measures. Anyway, thank you very much for sharing the video!!!

    • @senorton
      @senorton 2 роки тому +2

      please note that Krause is not trying to prove global warming with his data. he is taking global warming as a given due to the overwhelming consensus around it. he is showing that environments have decreasing populations of sound-making inhabitants (birds, frogs, insects). there are multiple factors involved, and it depends on the particular environment. global warming is one, but habitat loss is a huge factor also, due to logging, development and agricultural clearing. the global decline in populations of nearly all wildlife is widely documented. wake up.
