Huge thanks to all the RUclipsrs who organized this. My apologies for the repost.
These videos are from 2012 so my interest in trees goes back a long ways. I think these videos discuss two of the most interesting and amazing facts about our leafy friends: they are made mostly of CO2 (which comes from us breathing out amongst other sources) and they can transport water up a tube higher than any we can currently manufacture. So trees are out to get you. But we do much worse to them so we owe it to them to plant some more. 20 mil is a good start.

@@Insertnamesz Average 2.3 lbs of CO2 per day, video was released about 2500 days ago, that's about 5750 lbs, or 2.6 tons. You monster.

@@mshadyd7309 Some humans are worse for trees than others though. The US has more trees than a century ago for example. Japan despite their insane level of population density, manages their forests sustainably. Hell, they started afforestation and silviculture practices in the 1600s. Planting tree plantations for timber instead of harvesting old growth. Compare those practices to those of Brazil, or Haiti.
@@barahng Fair enough.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deforestation_by_region
@@barahng yeah. In Brazil and other developing countries most (between 75% to 92%, depending on the calculations) of all - that means accumulated HISTORICAL - deforestation is due to eating animal products specifically.
Let's remind ourselves that more than 50% of all grain produced in the world is for animal feed.
And let's not forget the huge pastures they deforest for...
We vote three times per day for that to happen. Or not. Particularly in developed nations, as most of this production of suffering animals is for exporting to those countries.
That's also a main cause of hunger for the one BILLION humans that doesn't have the means to eat enough calories to survive each day.

When you change the past there are too many things that can go seriously wrong for instance
A rock fell on the, it becomes a pothole,someone trips on a bicycle, struck hits it ,the truck driver smashes the brake ,somehow the fuel gets ignited, the truck blasts, the blast waves triggers a seismic wave detector to think it's a earthquake and it predicts an earthquake on a safehouse where nerve gas is stored, the safehouse starts evacuating, they fail the nerve gas hits people, the people think its governments doing, civil war starts where everyone dies
This is highly unrealistic but messing with time is super dangerous
Also changing the pasteans toh have effectively begun a new future which is in no correlation with the future that you are trying to change
Basically from a scientific standpoint super unrealistic and it's a bother since they tried to make it look scientific
If they simply said time travel now exists I would not be bothered
And also what is wrong with killing half the people I would argue it is not a bad thing to happen to the world
About 16 years ago I owned a tree service business. Used to see some strange things in trees. Was doing a full dismantle one day and when the top third of the spar went down, I was getting shot in the face with streams of water pumping out from the face of the cut. One of them shot a couple feet in the air. And it was a lot of water, each jet was maybe 1/8" in diameter, and there were several. I'll never forget being so amazed by the pressure it was under, blew my mind.
Another 2ft diameter tree had formed a void in the center somehow; when my chainsaw cut into it, about 15 gallons of water came pouring out and drenched me.
WOW I'm here in Oregon my son is a logger I'm going to ask him about this. Lived in Bandon Oregon most of my life major logging town never heard of this. 😲🌱🌻
@@mylamberfeeties875 it may depend on the type of tree. I only saw it a few places.
U believe that sometimes, when there is water shooting out of a tree, you are witnessing the equivalent of an artesian well or spring, so the water is contained in it like the plumbing of a mountain spring.
We have several springs around like that, like Saratoga springs.
I've seen videos where water gushed out of the trunk, because it was connected to these springs somehow.
The one example you mentioned, may be partly how the Redwoods keep climbing.
I've read that some water collects in the crotches and the leaf litter wedged in there and the tree develops little rootlets growing into these reservoirs high up in the tree, so maybe a cavity can hold some rain water up there.
I love tree, and I'm a woodworker that plants trees, and mills logs with an Alaskan mill setup connected to an 066 Magnum Stihl.
I meant I believe not U.
There's no way to edit.
So, that's why small plants look greener when someone regularly talks to them? Mind blown.
Are you the dude in the video

One of my favorite RUclips videos of all time is the one you did about trees crowding out the canopy of the forest and people that jump in front of you when you're getting your luggage off of the luggage claim at an airport. I think about that video every time I fly. Thanks for taking the time to make this even though you're traveling with family! I know how hard traveling with kids is. Great job man, you continue to impress. TEAM TREES ASSEMBLE! Let's get to 20 Million trees!
When people exercise, they loose weight by exhaling the CO2 out the lungs.
When tree gains mass, it takes in CO2.
what a waste of intellect, you realize this attempt to plant 20m trees is useless. why dont they do something important like fund a carbon capture plant? one plant saves space that the trees would take up, lowers the risk of wildfires, and does the work of 40m trees. this is just a publicity stunt. you bunch of sheep are embarrassing.
Matthew Marbaker
Useless? Can’t you see that planting more trees will give us more time to come up with an alternative solution .
@@mattmab25 trees do more than just carbon capture. they improve soils, provide animal habitats, absorb pollutants, stabilise the earth, give homes to bird and insect pollinators, stabilise earth, foster biodiversity which is vital for the greater ecosystem as a whole. for humans they provide shade, shelter, and reduce stress.

dioxide
@@oscargarza804 Actually, I'm pretty sure the tree releases the oxygen from CO2 back into the atmosphere as O2, taking just carbon. If somebody actually educated on the topic wants to correct me, go ahead
@@squidblaster3327 no that sounds correct. That's how I would have said it.
hahaha me too, my dad told me to shut up
@@squidblaster3327 Yes that process is called photosynthesis, its more complicated than that and has many stages but one of the results is that the carbon atom splits from the carbon dioxide molecule. Why can't I scream carbon because of that?

You shouldve mentioned that the trees take carbon from carbon dioxide leaving oxygen for us. I think thats an important motivation to make people value trees
Also forgot to mention that trees release the carbon dioxide at night while during the day they produce oxygen
Its actually proven false. The oxygen comes from water, H2O. They proved this using tracer oxygen
@@acerrusm there's some trees that release 24 hour oxygen
trees also use oxygen for respiration

THere's one step needed to complete the lesson. It's hinted at by at least one reader who noted that we get O2 back from the tree. You said so yourself. What stays behind in the tree, then? THe CARBON. It is then processed by the tree, along with minerals from the soil, (I couldn't guess the mechanism, but it's chemical) for the tree cells to produce NEW tree CELLS. THe tree may also keep some CO2 unprocessed, which adds some weight as well as reserves for when the sun doesn't shine enough to trigger all the reactions.
THe other stuff you present in this recycled video amazes me utterly! Great video.
It's been a long time since I studied this, but there are small "airbags" that will "inflate" in the eventuality that air does come into the xylem called tylosis. It is essentially parenchyma that will expand due to the pressure difference and seal off part of the water transport and prevent a total collapse. Some wilting diseases cause these to expand and kills the host.

8:48 "The energy is not matter"
Press F for Einstein
But, it takes so much energy to create even minuscule amounts of matter, it’s generally safe to not think about energy becoming matter. Especially at the magnitude that trees would need.
Also as an amendment, energy isn’t matter, matter is condensed energy 😉

Next time you see a tree you like, give it a hug. It feels good!
Well, the reason for the water is to keep the cells in the leaves alive because cells are filled with water and you need living cells to perform photosynthesis, and thin high-surface-area leaves would naturally dry out in the sun very quickly.
(Also, most of the weight humans lose through exercise is *also* exhaled as CO2, not excreted as liquid or solid)
This type of stuff is what makes me marvel at the amazing way our universe works, down to the simplest things that we take for granted and never give much thought!
