An old favorite of mine

I am skeptical of that 8 year old video.

"We’re living in a brief window of time where our planet isn’t frozen underneath a giant layer of glaciers."

That's just not true.




Ice ages with major glaciation make up a very small minority of the Earth's timeline. The dinosaurs lived for 165 million years in a row without one.


We are in a positive feedback loop now for warming, the opposite of what he said. As more and more ice melts, less and less sunlight is being reflected back into space and the heating accelerates. The heat is already increasing faster than all the climate scientists predicted, which is troubling. We are getting stronger and earlier hurricanes than ever before in recorded history. The temperature of the ocean is really high. Disease carrying mosquitoes once considered tropical are now infecting people all over the US. There are towns in the northeast where it is now not advised to go outside after dark due to disease carrying mosquitoes.

The disaster is already happening and the effects are easiest to see when you look at insurance companies. Whether it's floods from enormous amounts of rainfall, wildfires, hurricanes, or tornadoes, they are getting hammered.

Note these aren't even coastal states.





The trend is rapidly getting worse.






People I work with are already seeing their rates triple, some are paying $11,000 a year for homeowner's insurance on relatively modest homes (1,100 square feet).


If this continues, homes will become uninsurable, which will make mortgages impossible to get, and if something happens to your house, you will not have insurance to give you the money to rebuild it. Unless you are rich, you will just become homeless. Note you would still owe any amount left on the mortgage.


I have feeling climate change deniers are latching onto things they don't understand and trying to make it sound like what we are experiencing now is normal or cyclical. It isn't.

More Earth science

Who'd have thought a video about bricks would be this interesting

video

When you turn off the audio it's just a simple video with moving images. 😃
I guess it must be the info that this channel member provides that's so important.

[boredjedi]

Chemistry. I watch this channel a lot but the video
uploads are long between. New one today - Rhenium
Don't remember anyone talking about that one
before.

[boredjedi]

Warships. USS Enterprise.

I love those size comparison videos

Academic infighting about String Theory

Language warning at 2:24 just the F bomb

[chuft]

Yeah it seems obvious that physics has been a mess for quite a while with nonsense like string theory, dark energy, dark matter etc. All non-falsifiable abstract math theories that fail to predict astronomical phenomenon correctly. Every time they are wrong they make up something else like dark energy or dark matter to hand-wave away the problem with their theories.

In my lifetime, I have seen it go from "the universe is expanding from the Big Bang but gravity is pulling it back together, the question is whether it has enough velocity to slow down forever without ever stopping, or whether it will reverse and collapse back into another Big Bang" to "the universe expansion is actually accelerating, that requires a force, we can't explain that, so we will make up dark energy out of thin air to explain it" not to mention all the problems with "our theories don't predict the movement of the stars, there must be like 9 times as much matter as we thought out there but somehow it's undetectable except through its gravitic effects, so we'll invent dark matter out of thin air."

It all seems like nonsense to me.

[boredjedi]

Yeah.

Also nothing worse than a non-open minded scientist. They become locked and un-movable.
I don't know if that's due to $$$$ or it's just part of their character. Both perhaps. If they gave it up, they'd have
to seek a new avenue of funding. She did bring that up too. Which I'm thinking is playing a bigger role than just being
stubborn and non open minded.

Oh no I thought I had click on comment not another regular post opps. heh

[LazyPooky]

Well that was depressing. Years ago, I used to listen to these theories for hours to find out now none of those are actually true. Those coincidences theories were also fascinating.
