You didn't Ask how many carbon dioxide is emitted per years by whole World fleet of all types of ships on every Sea and ocean. Nobody telling about this. Ships and pollution which they making - are they protected from showing the truth in media about theirs efect in atmosphere poluution?
You know in man's time there has been far more species of animal on earth than when the dinosaurs were around... but, since the 1940s we've killed 90% of it.
Planet earth will always undergo a metamorphosis. Life will dissolve or evolve. Adaptation is for survival sake. Now the human thrives as animals that aren’t for consumption are deprived of existence. Realizing that is looking at endangered species of today.
Small compensation for such a large contribution; I wish it could be more. Thank you for all your hard work. Your vids are the highest of quality and your desire for excellence really shows in the end result 😃👍
You stopped at 40000 years then jumped to modern times. No coverage on the end of the last ice age and reasons for it. I was actually looking forward to your take on that. Never mind. Good video though. Interesting, if co2 levels drop we go into an ice age and if co2 levels drop to low them plant life dies.
Great video. I hate how this issue has been politicized. Along with renewable and cleaner energies like solar and nuclear we need to focus on habitat regeneration. We cant just cut people out from emissions, millions will die. We need to wean into renewable energy, and pair regenerative agricultural practices with local food business. Easier said than done tho.
You`d have to find the exact environmental conditions of a planet and the same paths to the evolution of life through billions of years, which is impossible. I know the universe is so vast that you`d think why not? Well, even the tiniest variation would bring about completely different results. Unless you think about the multiverse, where infinity can solve the math.
@@MrEmmzo The multiverse is proposed, but not yet proven. If it exists then of course there is other identically intelligent life, including one of you which differs from all the others of you only by the fact that it has one more molecule of water in its mouth over the course of its entire life than you do (by the way, no disrespect is meant by calling you "it". I simply don't know your gender). There are also an infinite number of you who do not differ in any way, and the only difference is that a sub-atomic particle went in a different direction somewhere in that universe. For now, the Multiverse is a convenient "God of the gaps" type concept, and further, it has no bearing on what is going on in our universe. It's a convenient hypothesis for something we don't yet fully understand, and that's about the sum total of it. One thing seems rather apparent now, and it is that we are not only unique in our planet's history, but also exceptional in it, if for no other reason than the combination of intelligence and an opposable thumb. Even if it turns out that a few other animals on the planet have a level of intelligence on par with our own, they are limited in regard to what they can accomplish with that intelligence owing to the fact that they are unable to manipulate objects to the degree we can. In terms of the long-term survival of intelligent life on this planet, that one difference might bring the end of all even somewhat intelligent life on the planet since we seem to not be intelligent enough to reign ourselves in and prevent what we know we are causing. Contradicting myself only a little, it seems to me that we're pretty stupid when it comes down to it. We're certainly not smart enough to be a successful species in terms of how long our presence on the planet is concerned, as no other species has come close to nearly ending itself as quickly as we have. We're pretty exceptional alright, and if our evolution is any indicator, we may well represent the pinnacle of what life can become. If our brevity of existence is any indicator, that could also explain why the universe is silent. Similarly intelligent and physiologically capable life could have occurred millions of times, yet never have lasted long enough to make itself known. We certainly haven't.
This was excellent and I learned a lot from it. Of course, we learn the basics in school, but it is way more complicated than that. I find it fascinating and cannot stop listening. Thank you for filling in the gap in my education. I look forward to more videos like this one.
Well I hope you understand that climate change isn’t caused my humans…it’s caused by natural changes in earths climate🤦🏼♀️ It’s inevitable and will happen wether we are here burning fossil fuels or not. So please know that.
It is said the Chicxulub asteroid came in at approximately 60 degrees to the horizon, one of the worst angles it could have. If it hit head-on, much less ejects would be pushed into the atmosphere. If it came in from the horizon, it would have slowed down significantly or crashed on its side, which would minimize the explosion and ejecta.
Ive seen something about that it also was a lot of sulfuric rock where it hit that made it even worse. And on top of that it was spring in the northern hemisphere. Its like a cake with many layers of worst case scenario.
I always wonder why it didn't explode in the atmosphere like so many other large objects have. There must have been something which was different about the atmosphere which prevented it. Not that an air explosion would have been any less impactful. Even an air burst (called a bolide) of an object that large would have had devastating effects, and the result wouldn't have been much different except for not making a huge crater in the ground and the associated liquifying of rock, among other things. Water in the area would have still flashed to steam and a huge tsunami would still have been generated. Maybe there would not have been the great fires, since bits of the Earths crust wouldn't be raining down everywhere, and the eruption of the Decan Traps might not have taken place, since that seems to have been a direct result of the shock generated by the impact. The energy of the bolide, the shock wave generated by it, the vast amounts of water flashing to steam and the displacement of that, and the instant vaporization of all life in the area under the bolide would still have been plenty catastrophic to have ended the dinosaurs though. That is, if that's what actually did them in. So far, there have been no dino fossils found in the KT boundary. You would expect to find many there if that's what killed them, but so far, not one single one has been found there. The fossils are all found a good bit below it; enough to represent maybe a few thousand years before. Even in areas very distant from the impact site you never find dino fossils within the KT boundary. It does kind of make one wonder if that's really what did it, or if maybe that was just the coup de grasse on an already vastly reduced population. There is also a possibility that small mammals evolved to eat dinosaur eggs, and much like rats have done in Pacific islands to birds, drove them to extinction by eating all their potential offspring while they were still in the egg. There was a sharp rise in small mammal life and diversity which took place at about the same time as the dinosaurs went extinct. If they were animals which lived only on the ground, that would explain why birds survived, and not dinosaurs.
@soupdeluxe The two leading climate scientists refute all claims of any measurable change in the climate due to humans. In the 60s they said the Earth would burn up, in the 70s they claimed there was another Ice Age coming within 20 years. In the 80s it was acid rain and greenhouse gas. Now it's carbon, nitrogen, and methane. The only thing that happened each time was the introduction of a bunch of new taxes. PERIOD. The Earth goes through changes, many have been far more drastic than what we've seen in the entire span of human existence. If you want an answer to global warming look into the similar warming over EVERY SINGLE planet in the Solar System. We're moving through a superheated gas cloud. Voyager proved this recently. Stop being a sheep. All of this climate change, net zero, carbon footprint B.S. is designed to make people rich at the expense of the gullible.
@@soupdeluxe what’s crazy is how poorly we adapt. This isn’t new, rapid climate swings have happened to many humans, many times. Not to mention all of the other animals. Some win, some lose. Sink or swim.
I love this channel, and the video was incredible as always. That said, this fear mongering about climate change is continuously blown out of proportion and my biggest frustration is that doom is the only assumed outcome. Anyone claiming to KNOW what will happen are ignorant. For example, there are some aspects that suggest the warming planet is positive for plant life, not negative.
A much more volcanically active time, so ejecta and smoke. Enormous dinosaurs make enormous farts. Huge piles of dung. But at least with the higher CO2 levels vegetation was prolific and vigorous to allow it to regenerate rapidly after being ravaged by herds of massive herbivorous animals
I get that we would never have evolved as a species had the dinosaurs not gone extinct. But any time I hear about their demise, I always feel so sad for them. I just imagine those poor innocent, animalistic creatures who were just going about their lives day to day, eating playing raising families of their own. To just be encountered and confronted by this powerful force that would annihilate their entire species. And this one just kept coming. All the different forms in which our planet experienced as a result of that meteoric collision was immense. It was just one horrific thing after another.
All these poor little animals, trying desperately to escape. To find somewhere safer and to live another day or to find somewhere their child can be safe. To just to be knocked off that way. Either that, or they survived all the initial occurrences just to die from the resulting starvation due to Temporary halt of photosynthesis
This is a very high quality content, and so underrated. Btw, I already felt the changes in climate. I live in Indonesia, back then when I was a kid, the season was predictable and the temperature was far more enjoyable. Now it all changes, we cannot predict the season anymore, and there are many catastrophe through out the year. The temperatures was eratic, I got sick more often then back then. Its rainy cold this day and dry hot the next day, the changes was eratic, how you can't get sick with that? I miss the old time before this modernisation coming in wave.
U guys are one of the main polluters on the planet. That starts with you guys. Maybe if your river systems weren’t flooded with trash It wouldn’t be so bad. As American there not much we can do but just watch. Many people don’t realize this, that a large chunk ( the majority) of the worlds pollutants are from and drift out from Indonesia. Those big plastic and trash islands? Yeah most times they’re from India and Indonesia. Americans get into a big hoopla about climate change when we are trying… in all honesty we are doing the best we can. It’s these semi-developing countries that haven’t been giving a shit about their trash for decades. We and all the animals of the world suffer. How many more years are they gonna ignore the problem? Real change starts from the source and the world is continue to be shitty place until these nations start taking better care of their Trash plain and simple. Maybe I’m being ignorant but I don’t think I’m not that far off.
You recognize it. That's the first step. What are you doing personally to reduce your small part of it? We all need to make big changes if we are going to slow this trend, and even bigger ones over many generations if we are going to stop it. Shall we compare notes on what we have done, and what we can do to slow this down? Shall we agree to work to convince others about how important it is that we do these things? No less than the long term survival of our species is at stake. Let's talk, and let's be proactive, you and I, and let us be examples to others of how we can be responsible for the future. I'm serious. Please respond!
I am also noticing the changes myself from my own childhood in Midwest America. I’m not oblivious to the change in the magnetic North Pole either. The sun is rising & setting at a slightly different angle from my childhood. Equatorial people wouldn’t notice this natural phenomenon which we are over due for, magnetic pole shift. It’s shifting little by little. Main problem is anthropogenic climate changes that is coming & inevitable cause those at the top still want to maximize profits.
@@JJ-fq4nl Magnetic and true north are unrelated. The earth spins on its axis and that determines where the sun rises and sets in any location. The drift of the magnetic poles is irrelevant to that.
Climate change is real and science-based, but the reaction to it is sadly not. People make terrible decisions in a panic and there's currently a huge climate panic that at times resembles cult-like behaviour, and very none science-based Green parties. We need science-based solutions, including nuclear power, not knee jerk reactions. We should also acknowledge the inaccuracies in our forecast models.
Very interesting!! Subbed. I remember from Spring to early Autumn it was generally nice weather; (I was 5 in '67, and had a lovely holiday with my parents on the East coast of England). Everything was nice, up to the late '80's, then the weather seemed to change, loads more rain instead of nice warm sunny Springs and Summers. Now its usually bad weather now. Heavy skies, instead of nice summery days. The climate seems like a runway train now, its going to be near impossible to stop it. I see babies, and often wonder what a crap climate,rising seas etc will impact their lives, especially their great great grandchildren...
Life has found a way so far. On this planet, and no other in the solar system. Or in any other which we know of. Just because life has found a way thus far does not mean it will forever. Further, technologically advanced life has only occurred in this solar system only once, and we have no evidence that it has occurred anywhere else. The fact that we are the cause of the current mass extinction, and that we may also be a victim of it should worry you and everyone else. Single celled extremophiles might find a way, but we will be resetting the evolutionary clock back to near the beginning if we don't get things under control. Is that acceptable to you? Are you okay with condemning your descendants to an end which is unimaginably worse than anything which you can imagine. There is an eerie silence in space on all wave lengths. It is possible that we represent the pinnacle of intelligence and technical ability in the universe. Someone has to be that. It could be that life is common in the universe, but that intelligent life is not. The striking thing is that as the most technologically advanced life form on this planet, we are not nearly evolved enough to overcome our wants and desires, and therefore are not intelligent or advanced enough to prevent our own demise by our own hand. That's something to think about when you say that life always finds a way, or that the world will recover after the current mass extinction. It will not recover the way it was, and we nor any other technologically advanced species will be a part of that recovery unless that species evolves to cooperate. That is unlikely since that is all tied up in the urge to reproduce and to always attain an easier lifeway. Evolution selects against it. Prove me wrong by going net zero, if you can.
@@christmasw330 It will if by "recover" you mean nothing more complex than single celled extremophile organisms. Technologically capable Intelligent self-aware life won't.
@@Chompchompyerded not for a long time, but it will evolve. Again. Hopefully not with twiddly opposable thumbs that get up to mischief. Maybe something like cetaceans
Definitely worth watching. Thanks for the content. Only few will know where we are to go from here. If you have the resources to attempt to get to the next stage of an evolutionary civilization, we work together or only a few will survive. Most issues bring a great deal of simplicity but at what cost? How can such an event spiraled from humans for the sake of humans to be the demise of humans.
The last line says we'll keep dreaming about stars. This is exactly whats gonna happen. We are staring extinction and we don't have enough time to develop our technology so as to travel across Stars in search of habitable planets
You know what else is the norm? Lack of technological civilization disrupting natural climatic cycles by changing the established atmospheric composition. 🤫
@@ProfezorSnayp the composition changes all of the time with or without humans. Humans going electric no impact at all, same result. Polar icecaps going to melt with or without humans. Sun is heating up and will continue to do so until the end of its main sequence lifespan. Climate change has taken place since earth day 1 and will continue to do so until the outer envelope of the sun gobbles us up. Accommodate and acclimatise 👍
Is anyone else as amazed with life as I am? That after each extinction a few creatures held on and made it through and flourished afterwards. That life came from no life as far as we know. Life finds a way. It's just as amazing to me that bodies can heal themselves the way they do. It's amazing that your body knows how to take nutrition from foods and liquids and distribute them throughout. Consciousness is to me the most amazing thing of all though. Just existing instead of not existing. Why? What does it mean to exist? I don't mean being alive as existing but what exactly is existence? Did the universe create us so it could understand itself better? Did God create us for a larger purpose? Did aliens deposit the seeds of life on early earth? Regardless of the answer I'm very excited that I was lucky enough to be a part of this amazing universe and all the wonders within and at a time of large amounts of star formating and majority of stars in their main sequence stage. Before long star formation will stop and this amazing thing will do something but nobody is sure. Also glad to be alive during a time of the jwst and not the wild west.
Truly brought a tear to my eye knowing me and many of you reading this just do not have the money or influence or political power to change things as fast as we need. May you all find happiness and may we all pray that the old leaders and there ways will die along with them giving birth to a new way of thinking and that we may lead our beautfiul world back onto a peaceful and sustainable path once again 😪❤️🫂🙏☮️
It could, but we could one by one start to effect a difference. We each have to personally commit to it though. I have done so, but am always open to new ideas. If you'd like to discuss it, and see what you and I can do, as well as how we can get others to join in, please respond here. The dialogue and action has to start somewhere. Let's not leave it to someone else.
@@Chompchompyerded look, thanks for responding but here’s how I see it. 50% of the world dont care about it and do what they want and 50% of the world buys things from the other side pretending to be a green but the fact is that the majority of stuff is manufactured in the east and then sent to the west. Unfortunately you have those who buy from polluters and pretend that is their problem and then you have the polluters. One person cannot make that much of a change. Maybe on the brief occasion but honestly, not enough. The way things are now isn’t going to change unless we did the world of greed and power.
It's sounds superficially apocalyptic, but at the same time human ingenuity and will to survive is boundless. So I will keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best.
It _is_ superficially apocalyptic. The contribution of carbon dioxide to greenhouse warming is greatly exaggerated, and the hypothesis that deserts will grow in a warmer earth, is precisely contrary to what really will happen. The warmer earth gets, and the more carbon dioxide it has in the atmosphere, the GREENER it will become. Life will flourish more than it ever has in human history. Sure, some species will die out, as is normal (dozens of species die every day normally), but others will evolve to take their place, as is totally normal. increasing of deserts happens when the climate gets colder and therefore drier. The climate cult sees the evidence, and comes to their own conclusions, which are incongruent with what the facts and evidence actually say. And isn’t it just such a convenient coincidence, that all of their solutions for the problem they claim we have, is for us to continue giving them more and more power over all of our lives until they are effectively our slave masters, and we were there slaves-serfs at best. It’s almost like the people that constantly chant “fascist, fascist” at the slightest disagreement to the apocalyptic cult bullshit are themselves, actually the biggest fucking fascists of all. And the people they claim are fascists are actually the opposite of fascists.
fabulous animation with nice breaks in between your voiceover gives the video more asmr feels. I could see the work you put in your videos. Please keep it coming!
As always your channel produces some of the best content on UA-cam. Am I mistaken, I thought in your intro you used to say Kosmo, first in space? I may be remembering that wrong. This video is well researched and presented. Thank you for another thought provoking subject presented with the highest quality video.
very good content, or should i say one of the best video about earth ive ever seen explained well, more than our professors and really made us think deeply even more about on how we can still save the planet. its crazy bcuz we people cant help ourselves but to watch and stare at our slowly dying planet. and i dont think that the apocalypse that ended the dinosaurs wont happen again. the world, everything in it is in a cycle. we dont even know what part of the cycle we are in ryt now. godbless everyone

"Fascinating insights into the post-dinosaur era! It's incredible to learn about the Earth's resilience and the climate changes that shaped our modern world. This video is a great reminder of how important it is to take care of our planet for future generations.
We are thoroughly doomed to annihilation it would seem. It was one hell of a run. Mostly a horrific run, but one hell of a run nevertheless. Time for some future species to take over, and for us to be completely forgotten in some millions of years. Adieu
We wont be forgotten never our structures on the moon will remain there forever until the moon disappears or explodes voyager one and two will keep going so many thing’s humanity has done will remain for a future species to check or probably not probably we will remain
The issues raised are of great concern to all us humans, and especially at this point of time when huge positive steps can help us reverse the effects of climate change. Climate change is already causing a lot of change and issues in our planet. For example, a majority of India has started experiencing heat waves in the recent past years. This has not only affected animals, plants, birds but also humans. There is an increase of people falling sick in urban regions due to heat strokes and other heat related diseases. A majority of India is the working class, i.e., people who need to step out in the sun for their job (like daily labourers, farmers, etc). Now is truly the time to act. Thank you for making this video. I hope more people understand the consequences of climate change and get that it will also eventually affect humans even with our air conditioners and fans and other cooling systems. We all can atleast start small at our homes too. We can pick up sustainable ways of living, say no to plastic, compost at home, plant as many trees as possible, volunteer with organisations that working towards reversing climate change (or atleast donate if we have the financial power), talk to people around our areas and start projects for the same. I understand a majority of us still feel governments should bring in actionable laws to “fix” the problem but we can also be part of the solution instead of waiting and questioning meanwhile. We can all switch sides and be part of the solution.

The last part of this video equals the alleged ecological destruction of Australia by Aboriginal people with our current ecological dectruction of the Earth. To blame Aboriginal Australians for the destruction of lush, green habitats across the whole continent and for wiping out the magefauna is an old hypothesis that has scientifically been disproven. Firstly, there just weren't enough people to wipe out the megafauna. Secondly, Aboriginal Australians had, before the British invasion, never burnt the country in a fashion that is suggested by this video. Instead, they used controlled burning, i.e. so-called patch-burning of low vegetation and dry ground cover during cooler and wetter periods of the year so the fires wouldn't get hot and highly destructive. Only since they were dispossed of their country and prevented from performing this practice has the continent suffered these hot, destructive bush fires. Besides, there is no evidence that rainforest blanketed vast areas of Australia at the time of the First Peoples' arrival in Australia. Rainforests were declining, scherophyll vegetation was increasing and fire was important in the Australian vegetation long before people arrived here. They apparently declined in the mid Miocene, around 15 million years ago. By 100,000 years ago it probably occurred in patches more or less where it was present at the time of European settlement - confined to rich soils in NSW, in fire-protected sites in the inland, protected valleys in Tasmania and Victoria, on the wetter sections of the coastal plain and highland of tropical Queensland and in patches where soils and hydrological factors were favourable in the Northern Territory. During the last ice age (40,000 - 10,000 years ago) rainforest retreated but has recolonised suitable habitats over the last 10,000 years. Most eucalypts were evolved before humans arrived. Their abundance may have varied due to Aboriginal burning practices, though. There is much evidence that points to climate as being the main determinant in megafauna extinction and vegetation change on the Australian continent over millions of years - with major changes occurring since the onset of aridity in Miocene but continuing through the last ice age which coincided with the occupation of Australia by Aboriginal people. Fires increased in Australia since the Miocene, so many of the country's species were adapted to fire before the Aborigines arrived. See for example: www.uow.edu.au/media/2020/fossil-discoveries-reveal-the-cause-of-megafauna-extinction.php#:~:text=%E2%80%9CInstead%2C%20we%20do%20find%20that,Australia's%20animals%20to%20cope%20with.%E2%80%9D theconversation.com/did-fire-kill-off-australias-megafauna-19679 www.abc.net.au/science/future/theses/theses1.htm
It is truly amazing that we’re intelligent enough to have a worldwide Internet. Only a few hundred years ago, we could never imagine anything like this. We’ve mastered the art of nuclear fission just in the last (roughly) half century. If we can advance this much in just 200-300 years, where will we be in 2100? It’s absolutely insane.
Just watch The Fifth Element. Based in 2263 living in the atmosphere with flying cars everywhere. That'll give you a good idea. By 2500 there'll be over 50 billion of us and the entire USA and other nations will be a block of cement. How they'll survive is beyond me.
Dead or near it, we are so “smart” we are dumb… we don’t have much longer, every advancement we make has dire consequences and yet the powers in charge don’t care because the consequences won’t be seen by us and power wealth etc, most don’t care about the future only the now. All these technological breakthroughs are slowly killing us or the planet, most of the time it’s both.
Whoa! There are a lot of theories intermixed in this video with facts. Please tread cautiously. Theories are not facts, and they can (and often) lead to incorrect conclusions just as this video made. As a scientist, this video imo is fan fiction at best.
Yep. Theory-fantastical stuff is great for breaking cosmological news, but terrible for pushing propaganda. The former harmless escapism the latter destroys lives. I guess if you're paid off enough and hate humanity enough, you're OK with a political agenda which is guaranteed by intent, to cause the suffering of the majority of humans.
Much of the Australian aboriginal information was hypothetical at best. It is far from widely accepted that humans burned down the forests that were to never regrow. The violence among the aborigines is pure speculation. And rising ocean levels cutting of the aborigines escape from Australia is pure fiction. There never was a walkable land-bridge from southeast Asia to Australia during modern human existence, although sometimes the watery straits were much narrower than today. And judging from hunter gatherer groups of the last 200 years, most aborigines wouldn't know they were on an island continent, as well as not knowing anything about the southeast Asian islands. Many other times in this presentation, speculation and not widely accepted hypotheses are presented as facts. Some of these speculations and hypotheses are presented as fact by some individuals or groups in paleontology and archeology. Care must be taken to evaluate information sources in comparison to the broader scientific field they speak within. If it is in print, it doesn't make it true. And paleontological and archeological knowledge is a moving target as more data is discovered and interpreted.
Glad there's a few in here with the brains to notice. Did you notice the jump from 900,000ya to about 20,000? Conveniently skipping over the last 400,000 year blatantly-obvious milankovitch cycle? The easiest way for the honest to believe a lie is to not acknowledge the lie exists.
I agree! I thought this was a fantastic video and then the last 10 minutee made me realise this is just another nutjob with the whole global warming will kill us. Believe me global warming is not a bad thing. We have just come out of an ice age with very little life. Live was much more plentiful in much hotter periods. Just look back at earth in those periods. We don’t want a planet any cooler than it is today!
We could be the best thing if we put our minds to it. Want to discuss changes we can individually make, and ways we can convince others to do the same? Reply here, and we'll get started.
In the grand scheme of life out-living the sun, humanity is the only thing that matters. Everything that is sacrificed now, saves everything else in the future. If we are alone, our programmed self-hating billionaire profiteering attitude, needs to change.
I have to say I liked the modern message of this video. I am so used to seeing the issue of man-made global warming be tied closely to dystopian, knee-jerk solutions, that it makes me fearful to hear anyone talking about the impacts this way. The comparison to the Australian aborigines is impactful, because it paints a dystopia that is not much better then the dystopia being promoted in an attempt to “quick fix” man-made global warming. I am a conservationist. We ought to use resources responsively and preserve wonders for future generations. I think our biggest task right now is greenhouse emissions, but also plastics pharmaceuticals getting into ground water.

You`d have to find the exact environmental conditions of a planet and the same paths to the evolution of life through billions of years, which is impossible. I know the universe is so vast that you`d think why not? Well, even the tiniest variation would bring about completely different results. Unless you think about the multiverse, where infinity can solve the math.
@@MrEmmzo The multiverse is proposed, but not yet proven. If it exists then of course there is other identically intelligent life, including one of you which differs from all the others of you only by the fact that it has one more molecule of water in its mouth over the course of its entire life than you do (by the way, no disrespect is meant by calling you "it". I simply don't know your gender). There are also an infinite number of you who do not differ in any way, and the only difference is that a sub-atomic particle went in a different direction somewhere in that universe. For now, the Multiverse is a convenient "God of the gaps" type concept, and further, it has no bearing on what is going on in our universe. It's a convenient hypothesis for something we don't yet fully understand, and that's about the sum total of it.
One thing seems rather apparent now, and it is that we are not only unique in our planet's history, but also exceptional in it, if for no other reason than the combination of intelligence and an opposable thumb. Even if it turns out that a few other animals on the planet have a level of intelligence on par with our own, they are limited in regard to what they can accomplish with that intelligence owing to the fact that they are unable to manipulate objects to the degree we can. In terms of the long-term survival of intelligent life on this planet, that one difference might bring the end of all even somewhat intelligent life on the planet since we seem to not be intelligent enough to reign ourselves in and prevent what we know we are causing.
Contradicting myself only a little, it seems to me that we're pretty stupid when it comes down to it. We're certainly not smart enough to be a successful species in terms of how long our presence on the planet is concerned, as no other species has come close to nearly ending itself as quickly as we have. We're pretty exceptional alright, and if our evolution is any indicator, we may well represent the pinnacle of what life can become. If our brevity of existence is any indicator, that could also explain why the universe is silent. Similarly intelligent and physiologically capable life could have occurred millions of times, yet never have lasted long enough to make itself known. We certainly haven't.
It's not impossible. Maybe not exactly dinosaurs, but some sort of alien life that may look like dinosaurs.
Thanks! Great video! I learned a lot i didn’t learn in Philly public schools lol.
This was excellent and I learned a lot from it. Of course, we learn the basics in school, but it is way more complicated than that. I find it fascinating and cannot stop listening. Thank you for filling in the gap in my education. I look forward to more videos like this one.
Well I hope you understand that climate change isn’t caused my humans…it’s caused by natural changes in earths climate🤦🏼♀️ It’s inevitable and will happen wether we are here burning fossil fuels or not. So please know that.
Ya anda betul , basic education but you can using the transformation until to the top universe and multiverse
I’m really impressed by the quality of your content. You’re one of my top channels to follow. Thank you for the incredible work!
respect to the cameraman for recording the ice age footage!
Not even a minute in this video was unnecessary or tiring. Soo beautifully made . Soo informative and really a quality work.❤❤.
yeah
Great content, being a student of geology myself, I am fascinated about how accurate the facts and numbers are in the video
It is said the Chicxulub asteroid came in at approximately 60 degrees to the horizon, one of the worst angles it could have. If it hit head-on, much less ejects would be pushed into the atmosphere. If it came in from the horizon, it would have slowed down significantly or crashed on its side, which would minimize the explosion and ejecta.
Ive seen something about that it also was a lot of sulfuric rock where it hit that made it even worse. And on top of that it was spring in the northern hemisphere.
Its like a cake with many layers of worst case scenario.
@@Makabert.Abylon damn
I always wonder why it didn't explode in the atmosphere like so many other large objects have. There must have been something which was different about the atmosphere which prevented it. Not that an air explosion would have been any less impactful. Even an air burst (called a bolide) of an object that large would have had devastating effects, and the result wouldn't have been much different except for not making a huge crater in the ground and the associated liquifying of rock, among other things. Water in the area would have still flashed to steam and a huge tsunami would still have been generated. Maybe there would not have been the great fires, since bits of the Earths crust wouldn't be raining down everywhere, and the eruption of the Decan Traps might not have taken place, since that seems to have been a direct result of the shock generated by the impact. The energy of the bolide, the shock wave generated by it, the vast amounts of water flashing to steam and the displacement of that, and the instant vaporization of all life in the area under the bolide would still have been plenty catastrophic to have ended the dinosaurs though.
That is, if that's what actually did them in. So far, there have been no dino fossils found in the KT boundary. You would expect to find many there if that's what killed them, but so far, not one single one has been found there. The fossils are all found a good bit below it; enough to represent maybe a few thousand years before. Even in areas very distant from the impact site you never find dino fossils within the KT boundary. It does kind of make one wonder if that's really what did it, or if maybe that was just the coup de grasse on an already vastly reduced population. There is also a possibility that small mammals evolved to eat dinosaur eggs, and much like rats have done in Pacific islands to birds, drove them to extinction by eating all their potential offspring while they were still in the egg. There was a sharp rise in small mammal life and diversity which took place at about the same time as the dinosaurs went extinct. If they were animals which lived only on the ground, that would explain why birds survived, and not dinosaurs.
@@Chompchompyerdedmodern birds are Dinosaurs.
@@Chompchompyerded The asteroid was much larger in space than when it hit Earth. The atmosphere already broke it down smaller.
Great video, scary how quick things are changing. A better environment starts with ourselves!
"quick" 😂
@@kojo_143east haha you are right, “quick” indeed. Altho noticing changes in climate during our short lifetimes is crazy if you think about it.
@soupdeluxe The two leading climate scientists refute all claims of any measurable change in the climate due to humans.
In the 60s they said the Earth would burn up, in the 70s they claimed there was another Ice Age coming within 20 years. In the 80s it was acid rain and greenhouse gas. Now it's carbon, nitrogen, and methane.
The only thing that happened each time was the introduction of a bunch of new taxes. PERIOD.
The Earth goes through changes, many have been far more drastic than what we've seen in the entire span of human existence.
If you want an answer to global warming look into the similar warming over EVERY SINGLE planet in the Solar System.
We're moving through a superheated gas cloud. Voyager proved this recently.
Stop being a sheep. All of this climate change, net zero, carbon footprint B.S. is designed to make people rich at the expense of the gullible.
@@soupdeluxe What makes you think you can do anything about it? Your inflated brainwashed indoctrinated arrogant human ego?
@@soupdeluxe what’s crazy is how poorly we adapt. This isn’t new, rapid climate swings have happened to many humans, many times.
Not to mention all of the other animals. Some win, some lose. Sink or swim.
I love this channel; from the graphics to the narration to the delivery of the well-researched topics, it’s all so well done! Thank you!
THIS is a well put together video that had me hooked right off the bat! Excellent!
I love this channel, and the video was incredible as always. That said, this fear mongering about climate change is continuously blown out of proportion and my biggest frustration is that doom is the only assumed outcome. Anyone claiming to KNOW what will happen are ignorant. For example, there are some aspects that suggest the warming planet is positive for plant life, not negative.
Positive for plant life. Negative for human civilization.
What a great video. I just love it, well researched and has great explanation!!❤
Amazing content 👌
You guys bringing proper and awesome content. High quality! ❤ thank you!
I bet the air in the sky and the water in the sea was so pristine when the dinosaurs were around.
A much more volcanically active time, so ejecta and smoke. Enormous dinosaurs make enormous farts. Huge piles of dung. But at least with the higher CO2 levels vegetation was prolific and vigorous to allow it to regenerate rapidly after being ravaged by herds of massive herbivorous animals
Except for their farts and huge dinosaur turds.
All of this happened so you can go to your 9 to 5
Thanks!
It was worth watching, very clear information, lending the mind to grasp around the subject, bravo!
I get that we would never have evolved as a species had the dinosaurs not gone extinct. But any time I hear about their demise, I always feel so sad for them. I just imagine those poor innocent, animalistic creatures who were just going about their lives day to day, eating playing raising families of their own. To just be encountered and confronted by this powerful force that would annihilate their entire species. And this one just kept coming. All the different forms in which our planet experienced as a result of that meteoric collision was immense. It was just one horrific thing after another.
All these poor little animals, trying desperately to escape. To find somewhere safer and to live another day or to find somewhere their child can be safe. To just to be knocked off that way. Either that, or they survived all the initial occurrences just to die from the resulting starvation due to Temporary halt of photosynthesis
This is a very high quality content, and so underrated. Btw, I already felt the changes in climate. I live in Indonesia, back then when I was a kid, the season was predictable and the temperature was far more enjoyable. Now it all changes, we cannot predict the season anymore, and there are many catastrophe through out the year. The temperatures was eratic, I got sick more often then back then. Its rainy cold this day and dry hot the next day, the changes was eratic, how you can't get sick with that? I miss the old time before this modernisation coming in wave.
setuju. totally agreed.
U guys are one of the main polluters on the planet. That starts with you guys. Maybe if your river systems weren’t flooded with trash It wouldn’t be so bad. As American there not much we can do but just watch. Many people don’t realize this, that a large chunk ( the majority) of the worlds pollutants are from and drift out from Indonesia. Those big plastic and trash islands? Yeah most times they’re from India and Indonesia. Americans get into a big hoopla about climate change when we are trying… in all honesty we are doing the best we can. It’s these semi-developing countries that haven’t been giving a shit about their trash for decades. We and all the animals of the world suffer. How many more years are they gonna ignore the problem? Real change starts from the source and the world is continue to be shitty place until these nations start taking better care of their Trash plain and simple. Maybe I’m being ignorant but I don’t think I’m not that far off.
You recognize it. That's the first step. What are you doing personally to reduce your small part of it? We all need to make big changes if we are going to slow this trend, and even bigger ones over many generations if we are going to stop it. Shall we compare notes on what we have done, and what we can do to slow this down? Shall we agree to work to convince others about how important it is that we do these things? No less than the long term survival of our species is at stake. Let's talk, and let's be proactive, you and I, and let us be examples to others of how we can be responsible for the future. I'm serious. Please respond!
I am also noticing the changes myself from my own childhood in Midwest America. I’m not oblivious to the change in the magnetic North Pole either. The sun is rising & setting at a slightly different angle from my childhood. Equatorial people wouldn’t notice this natural phenomenon which we are over due for, magnetic pole shift. It’s shifting little by little. Main problem is anthropogenic climate changes that is coming & inevitable cause those at the top still want to maximize profits.
@@JJ-fq4nl Magnetic and true north are unrelated.
The earth spins on its axis and that determines where the sun rises and sets in any location.
The drift of the magnetic poles is irrelevant to that.
so much information in a short time, amazing editing skills! thank you!
Climate change is real and science-based, but the reaction to it is sadly not. People make terrible decisions in a panic and there's currently a huge climate panic that at times resembles cult-like behaviour, and very none science-based Green parties. We need science-based solutions, including nuclear power, not knee jerk reactions. We should also acknowledge the inaccuracies in our forecast models.
Absolutely amazing. Every video I watch just makes me want to learn more.
I found a this fascinating and easy to follow, thanks for all your work on this it was well worth it ✨
This is nature❤, I wonder what will happen to this earth in the future
This was pretty eye opening. Makes me wonder what impact pole shifts will have again soon.
Thank you Kosmo for this video
Very interesting!! Subbed.
I remember from Spring to early Autumn it was generally nice weather; (I was 5 in '67, and had a lovely holiday with my parents on the East coast of England). Everything was nice, up to the late '80's, then the weather seemed to change, loads more rain instead of nice warm sunny Springs and Summers. Now its usually bad weather now. Heavy skies, instead of nice summery days. The climate seems like a runway train now, its going to be near impossible to stop it. I see babies, and often wonder what a crap climate,rising seas etc will impact their lives, especially their great great grandchildren...
Very high quality, Thank you!
Life always finds a way...
The world will recover after the next mass extinction no matter who or what causes it 💚💚
Life has found a way so far. On this planet, and no other in the solar system. Or in any other which we know of. Just because life has found a way thus far does not mean it will forever. Further, technologically advanced life has only occurred in this solar system only once, and we have no evidence that it has occurred anywhere else. The fact that we are the cause of the current mass extinction, and that we may also be a victim of it should worry you and everyone else. Single celled extremophiles might find a way, but we will be resetting the evolutionary clock back to near the beginning if we don't get things under control. Is that acceptable to you? Are you okay with condemning your descendants to an end which is unimaginably worse than anything which you can imagine.
There is an eerie silence in space on all wave lengths. It is possible that we represent the pinnacle of intelligence and technical ability in the universe. Someone has to be that. It could be that life is common in the universe, but that intelligent life is not. The striking thing is that as the most technologically advanced life form on this planet, we are not nearly evolved enough to overcome our wants and desires, and therefore are not intelligent or advanced enough to prevent our own demise by our own hand. That's something to think about when you say that life always finds a way, or that the world will recover after the current mass extinction. It will not recover the way it was, and we nor any other technologically advanced species will be a part of that recovery unless that species evolves to cooperate. That is unlikely since that is all tied up in the urge to reproduce and to always attain an easier lifeway. Evolution selects against it. Prove me wrong by going net zero, if you can.
It will recover after our nuclear war😊 obliteration but it will take a really long time
@@christmasw330 It will if by "recover" you mean nothing more complex than single celled extremophile organisms. Technologically capable Intelligent self-aware life won't.
@@Chompchompyerded not for a long time, but it will evolve. Again. Hopefully not with twiddly opposable thumbs that get up to mischief. Maybe something like cetaceans
True but it will still suck beyond imagining for those organisms during it. It goes without saying that this includes us.
This is a beautifully presented history. It ought to be used in schools.Thank you.
Definitely worth watching. Thanks for the content. Only few will know where we are to go from here. If you have the resources to attempt to get to the next stage of an evolutionary civilization, we work together or only a few will survive. Most issues bring a great deal of simplicity but at what cost? How can such an event spiraled from humans for the sake of humans to be the demise of humans.
No offense but that sounds like some commie gobbledegook
The last line says we'll keep dreaming about stars. This is exactly whats gonna happen. We are staring extinction and we don't have enough time to develop our technology so as to travel across Stars in search of habitable planets
In a nutshell, only the last 5 million years CO2 levels have been lower then today. The planet's norm is high CO2 levels and high temps.
You know what else is the norm? Lack of technological civilization disrupting natural climatic cycles by changing the established atmospheric composition. 🤫
@@ProfezorSnayp the composition changes all of the time with or without humans. Humans going electric no impact at all, same result. Polar icecaps going to melt with or without humans. Sun is heating up and will continue to do so until the end of its main sequence lifespan. Climate change has taken place since earth day 1 and will continue to do so until the outer envelope of the sun gobbles us up. Accommodate and acclimatise 👍
Thank you for making such awesome videos for us to watch.very educational and entertaining.❤❤❤
Is anyone else as amazed with life as I am? That after each extinction a few creatures held on and made it through and flourished afterwards. That life came from no life as far as we know. Life finds a way. It's just as amazing to me that bodies can heal themselves the way they do. It's amazing that your body knows how to take nutrition from foods and liquids and distribute them throughout. Consciousness is to me the most amazing thing of all though. Just existing instead of not existing. Why? What does it mean to exist? I don't mean being alive as existing but what exactly is existence? Did the universe create us so it could understand itself better? Did God create us for a larger purpose? Did aliens deposit the seeds of life on early earth? Regardless of the answer I'm very excited that I was lucky enough to be a part of this amazing universe and all the wonders within and at a time of large amounts of star formating and majority of stars in their main sequence stage. Before long star formation will stop and this amazing thing will do something but nobody is sure. Also glad to be alive during a time of the jwst and not the wild west.
Truly brought a tear to my eye knowing me and many of you reading this just do not have the money or influence or political power to change things as fast as we need.
May you all find happiness and may we all pray that the old leaders and there ways will die along with them giving birth to a new way of thinking and that we may lead our beautfiul world back onto a peaceful and sustainable path once again 😪❤️🫂🙏☮️
This was an amazing video ! Unfortunately the search of power and greed will prevent the good future that we should all search for!
It could, but we could one by one start to effect a difference. We each have to personally commit to it though. I have done so, but am always open to new ideas. If you'd like to discuss it, and see what you and I can do, as well as how we can get others to join in, please respond here. The dialogue and action has to start somewhere. Let's not leave it to someone else.
@@Chompchompyerded look, thanks for responding but here’s how I see it. 50% of the world dont care about it and do what they want and 50% of the world buys things from the other side pretending to be a green but the fact is that the majority of stuff is manufactured in the east and then sent to the west. Unfortunately you have those who buy from polluters and pretend that is their problem and then you have the polluters. One person cannot make that much of a change. Maybe on the brief occasion but honestly, not enough. The way things are now isn’t going to change unless we did the world of greed and power.
i would love to show this to students! very simple and easy to understand eye opener.
Sobering account of what's to come. Excellent content, Thank you.
Great video: entertaining & thought provoking. Thanks for making & sharing!
Outstanding ❤
I've shared this on FB news feed, and a couple of my groups, everyone should be aware
It's sounds superficially apocalyptic, but at the same time human ingenuity and will to survive is boundless. So I will keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best.
😂 Laughable
It _is_ superficially apocalyptic. The contribution of carbon dioxide to greenhouse warming is greatly exaggerated, and the hypothesis that deserts will grow in a warmer earth, is precisely contrary to what really will happen. The warmer earth gets, and the more carbon dioxide it has in the atmosphere, the GREENER it will become. Life will flourish more than it ever has in human history. Sure, some species will die out, as is normal (dozens of species die every day normally), but others will evolve to take their place, as is totally normal. increasing of deserts happens when the climate gets colder and therefore drier.
The climate cult sees the evidence, and comes to their own conclusions, which are incongruent with what the facts and evidence actually say. And isn’t it just such a convenient coincidence, that all of their solutions for the problem they claim we have, is for us to continue giving them more and more power over all of our lives until they are effectively our slave masters, and we were there slaves-serfs at best.
It’s almost like the people that constantly chant “fascist, fascist” at the slightest disagreement to the apocalyptic cult bullshit are themselves, actually the biggest fucking fascists of all. And the people they claim are fascists are actually the opposite of fascists.
Love the message at the end. Also treat animals better. They're part of Earth too.
who else high af right now

As always your channel produces some of the best content on UA-cam. Am I mistaken, I thought in your intro you used to say Kosmo, first in space? I may be remembering that wrong. This video is well researched and presented. Thank you for another thought provoking subject presented with the highest quality video.
Lovely video with in-depth research.
very good content, or should i say one of the best video about earth ive ever seen
explained well, more than our professors and really made us think deeply even more about on how we can still save the planet. its crazy bcuz we people cant help ourselves but to watch and stare at our slowly dying planet. and i dont think that the apocalypse that ended the dinosaurs wont happen again. the world, everything in it is in a cycle. we dont even know what part of the cycle we are in ryt now. godbless everyone
Excellent and very well thought out and executed
This film is a masterpiece. I find it quite beautiful and humbling as well. Thank you so much for the research, preparation, and production.

It will make huge difference to the future world ..
The makers of the video at least deserve this support
Imagine seeing the dinosaurs
"Fascinating insights into the post-dinosaur era! It's incredible to learn about the Earth's resilience and the climate changes that shaped our modern world. This video is a great reminder of how important it is to take care of our planet for future generations.
This is so nicely done. So weird you dont have millions of subs. Good work.
We are thoroughly doomed to annihilation it would seem. It was one hell of a run. Mostly a horrific run, but one hell of a run nevertheless. Time for some future species to take over, and for us to be completely forgotten in some millions of years. Adieu
We wont be forgotten never our structures on the moon will remain there forever until the moon disappears or explodes voyager one and two will keep going so many thing’s humanity has done will remain for a future species to check or probably not probably we will remain
amazing vedeo thank you i did save it to my library
The issues raised are of great concern to all us humans, and especially at this point of time when huge positive steps can help us reverse the effects of climate change. Climate change is already causing a lot of change and issues in our planet. For example, a majority of India has started experiencing heat waves in the recent past years. This has not only affected animals, plants, birds but also humans. There is an increase of people falling sick in urban regions due to heat strokes and other heat related diseases. A majority of India is the working class, i.e., people who need to step out in the sun for their job (like daily labourers, farmers, etc). Now is truly the time to act. Thank you for making this video. I hope more people understand the consequences of climate change and get that it will also eventually affect humans even with our air conditioners and fans and other cooling systems. We all can atleast start small at our homes too. We can pick up sustainable ways of living, say no to plastic, compost at home, plant as many trees as possible, volunteer with organisations that working towards reversing climate change (or atleast donate if we have the financial power), talk to people around our areas and start projects for the same. I understand a majority of us still feel governments should bring in actionable laws to “fix” the problem but we can also be part of the solution instead of waiting and questioning meanwhile. We can all switch sides and be part of the solution.
Beautiful narration!
Fantastic graphics!
Great and easily digestible articulation of a huge story!
Brilliant! Just brilliant!

Quality videoship, if such a word exists. Excellent!
The last part of this video equals the alleged ecological destruction of Australia by Aboriginal people with our current ecological dectruction of the Earth. To blame Aboriginal Australians for the destruction of lush, green habitats across the whole continent and for wiping out the magefauna is an old hypothesis that has scientifically been disproven. Firstly, there just weren't enough people to wipe out the megafauna. Secondly, Aboriginal Australians had, before the British invasion, never burnt the country in a fashion that is suggested by this video. Instead, they used controlled burning, i.e. so-called patch-burning of low vegetation and dry ground cover during cooler and wetter periods of the year so the fires wouldn't get hot and highly destructive. Only since they were dispossed of their country and prevented from performing this practice has the continent suffered these hot, destructive bush fires.
Besides, there is no evidence that rainforest blanketed vast areas of Australia at the time of the First Peoples' arrival in Australia. Rainforests were declining, scherophyll vegetation was increasing and fire was important in the Australian vegetation long before people arrived here. They apparently declined in the mid Miocene, around 15 million years ago. By 100,000 years ago it probably occurred in patches more or less where it was present at the time of European settlement - confined to rich soils in NSW, in fire-protected sites in the inland, protected valleys in Tasmania and Victoria, on the wetter sections of the coastal plain and highland of tropical Queensland and in patches where soils and hydrological factors were favourable in the Northern Territory. During the last ice age (40,000 - 10,000 years ago) rainforest retreated but has recolonised suitable habitats over the last 10,000 years. Most eucalypts were evolved before humans arrived. Their abundance may have varied due to Aboriginal burning practices, though.
There is much evidence that points to climate as being the main determinant in megafauna extinction and vegetation change on the Australian continent over millions of years - with major changes occurring since the onset of aridity in Miocene but continuing through the last ice age which coincided with the occupation of Australia by Aboriginal people. Fires increased in Australia since the Miocene, so many of the country's species were adapted to fire before the Aborigines arrived.

Yes! This!! I was searching the comments to see if anyone was going to say anything…
The last 10 minutes of this video was dribble! Makes me wonder how accurate the rest was!
I dream of my Beautiful Big Black Cat all the time❤. I'm sure I will see him one day ❤️👍
Death. Mostly death & destruction. That big falling rock from space really did a number on the planet.
You must not have watched the whole video. That's was just ONE of the events that changed things. They won't be the last either
Some threat to some humans, no threat to the planet
It is truly amazing that we’re intelligent enough to have a worldwide Internet. Only a few hundred years ago, we could never imagine anything like this. We’ve mastered the art of nuclear fission just in the last (roughly) half century. If we can advance this much in just 200-300 years, where will we be in 2100? It’s absolutely insane.
Just watch The Fifth Element. Based in 2263 living in the atmosphere with flying cars everywhere. That'll give you a good idea. By 2500 there'll be over 50 billion of us and the entire USA and other nations will be a block of cement. How they'll survive is beyond me.
Dead or near it, we are so “smart” we are dumb… we don’t have much longer, every advancement we make has dire consequences and yet the powers in charge don’t care because the consequences won’t be seen by us and power wealth etc, most don’t care about the future only the now. All these technological breakthroughs are slowly killing us or the planet, most of the time it’s both.
Underwater it seems.
More depressing that we are all born way too soon.
Hats off to the team of Kosmo … this is just another level of production…Best of the Best channel ….
Whoa! There are a lot of theories intermixed in this video with facts. Please tread cautiously. Theories are not facts, and they can (and often) lead to incorrect conclusions just as this video made. As a scientist, this video imo is fan fiction at best.
I couldn't agree more. It was entertaining, but I wish it hadn't of strayed into theoretical territory.
Yep. Theory-fantastical stuff is great for breaking cosmological news, but terrible for pushing propaganda. The former harmless escapism the latter destroys lives.
I guess if you're paid off enough and hate humanity enough, you're OK with a political agenda which is guaranteed by intent, to cause the suffering of the majority of humans.
Just curious, which parts were theoretical do you think? (I'm not going to challenge you on any of it I am just wondering)
Much of the Australian aboriginal information was hypothetical at best. It is far from widely accepted that humans burned down the forests that were to never regrow. The violence among the aborigines is pure speculation. And rising ocean levels cutting of the aborigines escape from Australia is pure fiction. There never was a walkable land-bridge from southeast Asia to Australia during modern human existence, although sometimes the watery straits were much narrower than today. And judging from hunter gatherer groups of the last 200 years, most aborigines wouldn't know they were on an island continent, as well as not knowing anything about the southeast Asian islands. Many other times in this presentation, speculation and not widely accepted hypotheses are presented as facts. Some of these speculations and hypotheses are presented as fact by some individuals or groups in paleontology and archeology. Care must be taken to evaluate information sources in comparison to the broader scientific field they speak within. If it is in print, it doesn't make it true. And paleontological and archeological knowledge is a moving target as more data is discovered and interpreted.
As an educated human being i find this video pretty spot on
Wow . Amazing work. I understand our world from the beginning to the present. What an outstanding research and knowledge.
It was going great till the last 10min. Following the the logical path of your charts. The planet was dieing until the co2 levels started going up.
Glad there's a few in here with the brains to notice. Did you notice the jump from 900,000ya to about 20,000? Conveniently skipping over the last 400,000 year blatantly-obvious milankovitch cycle?
The easiest way for the honest to believe a lie is to not acknowledge the lie exists.
I agree! I thought this was a fantastic video and then the last 10 minutee made me realise this is just another nutjob with the whole global warming will kill us. Believe me global warming is not a bad thing. We have just come out of an ice age with very little life. Live was much more plentiful in much hotter periods. Just look back at earth in those periods. We don’t want a planet any cooler than it is today!
Most valueble chanel that I've ever found❤️🔥
Humanity is the worst thing that has ever happened to Earth. 😔
We could be the best thing if we put our minds to it. Want to discuss changes we can individually make, and ways we can convince others to do the same? Reply here, and we'll get started.
In the grand scheme of life out-living the sun, humanity is the only thing that matters. Everything that is sacrificed now, saves everything else in the future. If we are alone, our programmed self-hating billionaire profiteering attitude, needs to change.
Instantly subscribed...never is enough paleontology videos
I have to say I liked the modern message of this video.
I am so used to seeing the issue of man-made global warming be tied closely to dystopian, knee-jerk solutions, that it makes me fearful to hear anyone talking about the impacts this way.
The comparison to the Australian aborigines is impactful, because it paints a dystopia that is not much better then the dystopia being promoted in an attempt to “quick fix” man-made global warming.
I am a conservationist. We ought to use resources responsively and preserve wonders for future generations. I think our biggest task right now is greenhouse emissions, but also plastics pharmaceuticals getting into ground water.
We are entering the Kali Yuga
oh dear, completely spoiled by the utter bollocks on Australia, brings the rest of the content into question.
Really appreciate and enjoy your videos..truly inspiring.
