    As a long term botanist, I think a cool video would be about how plants are actually much smaller than what we see. The liveing (tree) organism is actually just the leaves, roots, and just a few layers of tissue below the bark. The rest is just wood, (dead mineral deposits,) serving only as a sanitary structure for the (TRUE ORGANISM) to colonize! And just like how algae MUST asists corals, micorhiza MUST be present to grow trees. 🙂hopefully it's enough to inspire the team

It teaches us about how Earth has changed in the past and can show us about just how much Human caused Global Warming might be effecting the planet in different ways. Hopefully we can put together the climate story eventually and completely accurately see Earths climate. Until then we’re still learning but we definitely know enough to know Humans are having a negative impact on our climate.

    3:48 "because water becomes slightly acidic as it picks up CO2" ... Generally good but that one contributes to a FALSE impression. Carbonic acid is a very weak acid, we have it in our bodies, the oceans are alkaline at pH 8.11. Carbonic acid can make that water slightly less alkaline but the notion that our oceans are now acid and becoming "more acidic" is terrifying and a common falsehood being perpetuated, our oceans are basic (alkaline). Look up ocean slowing, it means the upper warmer layer can't absorb as much CO2 and has been happening for 200 years.
    2013: "The oceans as a whole have a large capacity for absorbing CO2, but ocean mixing is too slow to have spread this additional CO2 deep into the ocean. As a result, ocean waters deeper than 500 meters (about 1,600 feet) have a large but still unrealized absorption capacity, said Scripps geochemist Ralph Keeling"
    .
    Also I understand the ocean floor basalt is alkaline and also a factor due to the reduced mixing now.

      @loc4725 4 года назад

      @@ae693 I'm old enough to remember the furore over the ozone hole, and the way that crisis played out is very similar to this.
      I remember the chemical companies hiring PR firms who in turn proceeded to attack the science by muddying the water. They took advantage of people's naivety and lack of understanding make out that there wasn't really a problem; that ozone thinning is a natural event (it is but...) and that it happens in cycles (it does but...). They hired scientists who worked in unrelated fields to wear white coats and go on TV to attack the science and in some cases even lie about what we know. They made the case that banning CFC's would be catastrophic for the economy and that it was all an anti-big business conspiracy by left-wing environmental groups. Even when satellite data showed that now famous ozone "hole" over the Antarctic they continued to spread misinformation and attack both the science and it's supporters. And that continued right up until ozone-friendly HFC's were created, at which point the objections to the science all magically disappeared.
      More recently there's been the anti-vaccine movement. There were lots of people, some of whom are (poorly regarded) scientists claiming that vaccines cause autism. Then Covid-19 happened and all of a sudden they've gone quiet.
      My point is that to me the climate change debate looks very similar to that of the ozone debate of the 80's. I see the same PR strategies being used against the science and I see the same anti-science mentality that the anti-vax'ers use right down to the repeated use of thoroughly debunked arguments and an almost complete lack of understanding / desire not to know.
      Even today there are people who think that CFC-induced ozone thinning is a scam, so if like them you're religious about this subject then there's probably nothing I can say to change your mind. Reality is always right and it will catch you out eventually. Otherwise be careful; to find the truth play both sides off against each other and remember there are firms out there that specialise in getting you to vote against your own interests.

    • @ae693
      @ae693 4 года назад +1

      @@loc4725 I completely agree with you. The problem with climate science is that there is currently no way to quantify the effect of CO2 concentration to the global warming. If you calculate it analytically without feedbacks, you get much much smaller equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS) than the range asserted by IPCC. They argue with unknown positive feedbacks to justify their positions. However, even scientists don't really know how strong those feedbacks are. Furthermore, if these feedbacks were correct, the climate system would be so unstable, that it would oscillate between glacial and interglacial periods much more often (like any amplifier with feedback).
      Another problem I see with it is that current climate models are based on assumption, that CO2 is primary temperature driver. But they fail to reproduce the climate variability in the past. They can only reproduce the overall trend (almost without variability). There are also studies that tried to run these models with different set of assumptions (i.e. that the effect of CO2 is smaller than the effect of long term sun variability) and were much more successful in reproducing the past climate including decadal variability and trends. However, the IPCC ignores them completely, because they show that the ECS is much smaller and that the modern era warming was mostly due to sun long term variability and only 0.12 C was caused by CO2.
      And no, I don't "believe" that CFCs are not destroying ionosphere. And I would like to know how you came to such idea. Was it an attempt to justify your position?

One has several different enhydros so whichever way you move it you see water moving around. They are really fun to look at! I always wonder about what that water "saw" when it fell as rain!

      There may be data point correlation between magnetic wandering and axial shift but, I don't see how magnetic pole reversal would affect global weather patterns.
      There is talk of magnetic field strength affecting the upper atmosphere. Mainly that solar wind, aka charged particles, and the affects it has on the upper atmosphere holding in global heat. But the reversal of magnetic north and south in and of itself wouldn't change a whole lot.

    How about using real science to look at the past. At one point co2 was well over 3000 ppm and the earth was in a major ice age. IF co2 is the control knob alarmist claim, that would have been impossible.

    • @WildwoodClaire1
      @WildwoodClaire1 4 года назад +1

      First of all, there are multiple "control knobs" and no one has claimed that CO2 alone determines climate. Solar output is another "control knob," and it was less during the Ordovician than at present. Past studies on the Ordovician period calculated CO2 levels at 10 million year intervals. Such coarse data sampling couldn't capture data for the Ordovician ice age, which lasted only half a million years. Recent studies determined that, during the late Ordovician, rock weathering was at high levels while volcanic activity, which adds CO2 to the atmosphere, dropped. This led to CO2 levels falling below 3000 parts per million which was low enough to initiate glaciation - the growing of ice sheets. See: Young, Seth A., et al., 2009, Geology, 37 (10): 951-954.
