      @@statementleaver8095 The asteroid that hit Yucatan were 66 million years ago. The glaciologists operating in Greenland have been able to, so far, drill down to find icecores a bit over 1,1 million years back. We thus now have knowledge of our atmospheres carbon content, YEAR BY YEAR, 1,1 million year back and to date. Our atmospheric carbon content in that period have been relatively stable around 220 PPM. It´s around 65.000 years Homo Sapiens first time left the African continent so it´s quite a remarkable gift we have been given by this science. 3 times in the 1,1 million years large global simultaneously volcanic eruptions and accompanying large widespread fires have caused the atmospheric carbon content to go up with up to 30 PPM and EACH time it have caused abrupt climate changes that have lasted thousands of years.
      There have been other cyclic caused climate change periods in the 1,1 million years as well but then it have happened slowly and not had any significant impacts on the atmospheric carbon content. THUS it can be scientific concluded that sudden rises in carbon content creates sudden climate changes that last for thousands of years and have significant impacts on fauna and species. Homo Sapiens were created as a species during this long period of stable 220 PPM carbon content in our atmosphere. During the last around 230 years humans burning fossil fuels have caused an increase of the carbon content in our atmosphere of not 30 PPM, not 100 PPM but insane 200 PPM so we now have passed scary 420 PPM carbon content in our atmosphere. Climate triggering points, like the thawing Siberian/Canadian tundra now fast increasingly releases huge amounts of CO2 and methane. ONLY way to stop this thawing are cooling down the planet again. ONLY way to cool down the planet again are transitioning to an emission free energy production and usage. WE HAVE TO stop burning fossil fuels RIGHT NOW and it´s insane that the three large nations with highest greenhouse gas emissions, Australia, USA, Canada are subsidising fossil fuels in 2024 thus downright scewing the market so the cheaper emission free solutions, especially the cheap and fast raised windmills, that even can be placed with benefits in our oceans, thus not taking up land while even aiding oceans taking out CO2, are prevented by this policy to even organically replace fossil fuels. Pure insanity!
      WE are the monkey generation.

Even to someone who is there a few miles away it's not possible to truly realize the size of them... no wonder he ran in order to save his life. Tsunamis are still a thing.

Nothing worse than missing some of the footage because he chose to run up the hill in thinking that the water would reach his level when clearly that wouldn't be the case.
