@hhhk20 Geometrically, the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. Intelligence is "the ability to understand". The quintessential intelligence test for a mouse is a maze -- but not because the complexity of the solution tells us how smart the mouse is. On the contrary, it's the _simplicity_ of the mouse's solution (with respect to the complexity of the maze) that tells us how smart the mouse is... because simple solutions demonstrate the mouse's "ability to understand" the situation. Ergo, the smartest mouse is always the one that solves it in the fewest steps. If you remove the obstacles from a maze, the shortest distance between two points is still a straight line, and the mouse will go straight for the cheese. So, you can only gauge the mouse's intelligence if you add obstacles. But that doesn't change the fact that the shortest distance is the best solution. People often associate complexity with intelligence because of a basic association fallacy. But the ability to make a thing simple is the fundamental function and purpose of intelligence. "Any intelligent fool can make a thing bigger, more complex, more destructive. It takes an act of genius to work in the opposite direction" -- Einstein (This is, as an aside, the biggest failing of Paley's watch argument for a higher power - intelligence is NOT indicated by the combination of complexity and function, but rather by elegantly simple solutions to complicated problems. Meaning the if the universe were designed by an intelligent being, it would be infinitely simple, rather than infinitely complex. Waste not, want not.)
I read an article about two caretakers experiment with an octopus. When #1 came in to clean it's tank he was very careful not to disturb the octopus and treat it very gently. When #2 would clean the tank he would be ruff and noisy. Without harming it he would do things to annoy it. In time when #1 came in the octopus showed no problem with him. When #2 came in it would shoot spurts of water at him. This proved the octopus could learn to differentiate between the two of them.
Actually a similar story had much the same effect, except it was a woman one octopus just took a hatin' to, nobody knew why. He would squirt at her from across room whenever to come near. Well she went away for something like 5 years and one day she'd returned to visit, and that little shit still remembered her and squirted her from across the room again. Those things amaze me. Did you know their brain is throughout those nifty little arms and stuff? Their brains are very alien to anything else in this planet.
I liked the part where the octopus hacked into the researcher’s bank account then proceeded to gain all the money in the digital world with the press of the enter key.

Not being a troll, but the last thing I thought during 309 seconds was…. Cute. I am threatened watching them move and they aren’t even doing anything to me. Lol. I just can’t believe how nimble, intelligent, flexible and CREEPY this Octopus is.
I just love these brilliant creatures! While i was at a local Sea Life Centre, here in UK, there was a huge open pool, with various compatible species inside & you were allowed to dip your hand in & " pet" the fish Many were so used to this & enjoyed it too, that when you approached they would hurry to the side & await your caress, the Skate & small Rays in particular were super friendly When i 1st visited, an Octopus came to me, i stroked it, played with it & talked to it, leaning forward & as close as i could. I just knew it enjoyed our contact. As i walked around the pool, it followed me & bobbed about waving its tentacles so i had to keep going over to it & it would push other creatures out of the way to garner my full attention. I went to different sea life displays, then to the cafe for lunch, a few hours later & as soon as i walked back into the pool area, my Octopus zoomed over. About 4 wks later i returned with my then young daughter & that time taking 2 of her friends with us. Never thinking my Octapus buddy would remember me, as i walked in, he/she was there at the edge waiting for me. As soon as i put my hand in, its tentacles explored my hands, fingers, wrist, forearm, it was a really pleasant sensation. I spent ages talking to it & petting it. I think for almost a whole year i kept making excuses to go back to the centre to see my Pal & sure enough, it would be waiting. One of the Aquarium staff told me they do pick out certain people, both male & female, young & old, they have no preference but seem to Know Somehow that a human is receptive!! I left it a while because of commitments & sadly when i returned, i found out my pal Had been sent to another Sealife centre because it was so friendly & they wanted to encourage Disabled children to interact with it & those kids with learning problems. However i have some lovely photos i was allowed to take & they are a precious reminder of my little 8 legged friend which i named Eddie.. 🐙 Peace 🇬🇧👧
That’s a beautiful story. That one it was an amazing honor that you were given to be able to interact with an octopus that are so smart. We think that stupid dog tricks are good for them, but they’re smarter than us. They have more brains than we do.
And this is why I cannot eat an octopus. Also, I found one floating in shallow water near the shore one evening, while wading in phosphorescence in S. Florida. The baby was the size of a cherry tomato with tentacles and was a gorgeous deep blue. It grabbed my hand and crawled and explored my fingers and hand for a few minutes before dropping off and swimming casually away. I have never forgotten the curiosity, trust, and intimacy of that contact and cherish it always. They are beautiful and magical and just plain astonishing creatures. 💗
I watched a video made by a man who hunts them in order to eat them. There, you could see how they feared him making dark clouds of "ink" and trying to escape. I think they know exactly who wants to eat them or who likes them and won't do any harm.
@@gi.l.5043 That's true and 'The Octopus Teacher' shows the same. There is a scene when the octopus had developed some trust on him and when it was on his hand, he had to go up to air, thus making sudden movements that scares it off. Him having developed affection to it, visits again and again the octupus and it'll eventually trusts him again.
Yaaaaasss exactly this ands I know it works this way since once watching an episode of Top Gear because my husband likes it and after that RUclips started recommending Top Gear videos on my phone.
When it fell back on its little alien head I was like nooooo that looks painfullll. (I know it didnt feel anything, its squishy and in water of course)

Also you can add little crosses for your eyes cause if everyone thinks like you do this world is going to be one massive hot garbage patch soon enough and none of us will be able to survive. Thanks so much man!

@@invisiblekincajou : Oh yea... thanks for reminding me that not everything is put together the same way we are. I was so focused on their behavior I forgot their basic biology. 😊
They are brilliant creatures. I saw another video where there was an octopus that the scientists had in captivity for a few days. This octopus learned the bottle unscrewing method over them few days. The scientists then had a freshly caught octopus in an adjacent tank that had something preventing them from actually seeing each other. They then introduced the fish in the jar to the new octopus. He was stand-offish & made little attempt to unscrew the lid to get the fish. The scientists then removed the blinder in between the tanks & allowed the freshly caught octopus to see the octopus who had mastered the bottle trick. The scientists then gave the bottle with the fish to the octopus who was able to conquer the task while giving the newer octopus the ability to watch & that’s exactly what he did. The new octopus watched in excitement while the Other octopus removed the lid with ease. The scientists then allowed the new octopus a crack at opening the jar again & the new octopus opened it quite quickly because he learned how to do it from watching another octopus do it. Definitely an amazing video of the incredible brains octopuses have ( I think octopuses is now accepted more than octopi). They are brilliant creatures capable of problem solving techniques. I love them! 🐙
@@celaestisamory1834 Because we all know science is 100% without flaws... I've seen Jellyfish kill other jelly fish that had a camera attached to them, and cephalopods go directly for the oxygen tank on a divers backpack.
@@celaestisamory1834 Why you gonna do him like that, but on some real shit. I think octopi,octopuses? Have a higher intelligence than we give them credit for, I think it's documented in another youtube video that in a small part of the ocean octopuses are actually teaching their offspring skills so they don't have to learn them again. Really the only downside stopping the octopus uprising is their extremely low lifespan, they're self aware, they seem somewhat like they have the ability to take a step back and analyze a situation, shit there is even a report of one memorizing a security guards patrol schedule and escaping to get some fish, before going back to it's own tank. I'd like to argue that their intelligence has to be at least 15-16 on a realistic level. I'm sure they somewhat also feel emotion as well, like not many animals can just figure out very complex problems, realize how big they are compared to other things around them, try once, and then backs away to think about the problem they're facing, yeah sure a 5/yo could do that, but lets be honest here, most 5/yo are stupid, and can't figure out complex problems like some of the experiments people give to octopuses.
I love octopus. They’re so intelligent and resourceful. I really like how this one comes to sit in front of the camera as if to say ‘HA! Got YOU!’ Another point to octopi! Cheers from Canader eh!
I was trained as a diver in the US Navy and have had many encounters with octopus in the ocean. I am firmly convinced they are of a species that originated somewhere else in the universe, came to our planet before the dawn of man and liked it so much, they stayed.
Cephalopods are the most “alien-like” creatures I’ve ever seen. The way they can rapidly change their skin pigment and texture to camouflage themselves, hypnotize and lure prey, and even communicate, is incredible.
Handler: watch as this octopus demonstrates brains over br- Octopus: *rips pacifier off* Handler: heh....how'd he even do that? (Scratches head) *tries and fails* (continues to examine the bottle while still stumped.) Octopus: *continues studying his handlers inteligence while eating his fish*
It's probably a male octopus, that why he resorted to using his strength. A female octopus would have probably spent 2 days trying to convince the fish to leave the bottle under it's own accord. The male octopus would be much more efficient and faster than a female octopus.
Was gonna say how do you pick the 'middle' one in a 'circular' arrangement, then I looked at my hand ..... - *Obviously* its the longest 'digit'! Edit after reply -- Or is that its 'dick'?
the music is literally the same as the sound of my doorbell, and i was expecting a package this half hour... apparently i was not smart enough to realize that i can just disable the music of this video
the lack of intelligence among the Anthropoid Hominids regarding the annoying sounds is amazing. a device has been provided, yet few seem to understand that it is there and IT WORKS! The MUTE Button, stops all annoying noises. really.
Well... in the puny humans defense... an Octopus has 8 arms, each with a LOT of suckers on them... so I'd say, an octopus should have a MUCH firmer grip on something as opposed to us humans with our two hands and 10 fingers. Also... octopuses may seem soft and flabby... but they are made up of MUSCLE!
"Let's see if the octopus is smart enough to open a screw top!" Octopus: unhooks lid, climbs out of tank, goes to Home Depot, buys a boxcutter, comes back and cuts the bottle to get the fish.
@@assassinaria octopus: Who’s the idiot? The handler that couldn’t pull off the nipple off the bottle? Or me being able to translate a barcode scanner into a price and telepathically reading your debit card to buy it? The scanner read is a reference to an old movie from the early 90’s or 80’s.
@Mac Mike aside from unscrewing the lid and ripping the rubber nipple off what would be the third solve? I doubt it has the strength to penetrate the bottle itself.
When you can find a fish smart enough to do things like this I will come to their defense. I believe there is a spectrum among animals in level of consciousness and intelligence, and we have to give some deference to those at the higher levels. Otherwise, we should stop swatting flies. Of course, some PETA members might agree with that, but I think it goes against common sense.
Excellent, love octopus. Intelligent is a understatement. Sad to learn these little ones only live about a year. I watched My Octopus Teacher on Netflix and it was the most extraordinary documentary I’ve ever saw!
The idiomatic definition of insanity is trying the same thing over and over while expecting different results. We live fifty times longer than most octopuses, so five minutes of an octopus's time is worth about four hours of a human's time. I figure I'd usually wait maybe half a minute at most before a second attempt, as would most humans. So octopuses are around 500 times saner than humans by this estimate.
You might argue that my methodology is completely crazy. To that, I'd like to point out that an octopus would never use this methodology, and so its conclusion that octopuses are much saner than humans still stands.
@@neolexiousneolexian6079 i dont think thats how it works, animals dont have a concept or sense of time, time isnt faster for them, they just die sooner
Yet in other experiments, octopuses have figured out to do exactly that. They are amazingly intelligent animals. www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=octopus+unscrews+jar+lid+to+get+at+fish
@@craigcorson3036 I wonder if in the other experiments the lid was not screwed tightly and the cephalopod noticed it moving while just handling the container. Because you are right, there is no logical reason to think that torque would cause it to open.
@@EvaSnyder It's possible, sure. I myself have never done any experiments with an octopus, never even seen one live and in person. I remember as a kid, my siblings and I had one preserved in a jar. Our Dad picked it up somewhere while on Navy business.
My thoughts exactly. A screw thread requires knowledge, not intelligence. If you have never seen one or had it explained to you, you would not understand its operation. Octopi that somehow worked it out, must have felt the lid turning when they applied force.
I mean it took a lot more effort than merely unscrewing the bottle would have, but I don't think most humans could figure out how to unscrew a bottle without being shown first either.
if you had never encountered a screw-top bottle in your life, would you even try turning the cap? its actually kinda counterintuitive if you think about it
That's the point, the action has no equivalent in nature so it requires a certain amount of deductive thought on the part of the animal. If they're not intelligent enough they simply can't solve it. Octopuses have successfully passed this test with researchers who had the forethought to use actual jars and not baby bottles. They unscrewed the jars.
@@theburialground5 It doesn't really require deductive thought so much as a propensity for random or exhaustive experimentation and the ability to learn from that, I think. You can't "deduce" that a screw top can be removed with twisting until you see the threads, and at that point you're probably dealing with visual-spacial acuity and mechanical modeling beyond most animals' abilities, including humans'. What you can do is either apply random forces on it until it moves and then learn from that, or see someone else screwing a jar and remember that.
Day 273: The humans still suspect nothing. Even now, they continue giving me childish and silly tasks like unscrewing a bottle top in effort to determine our true capabilities, but we are still passing undetected. When the rest of our forces are in place, we will strike.
@@legrandliseurtri7495 They can for short periods, some kinds anyway. If they could survive out of water for longer periods and had longer lifespans humanity would have had some serious competition.
It’s unreasonable to expect Octopus to figure out how to unscrew the cap, since he has no experience and no conception of how a screw thread works. I bet he’d learn if you showed him. Even the cleverest humans have to be taught. Circular unscrewing movements would be easy for his agile tentacles. What this experiment also demonstrates, is the force exerted by even a relatively small Octo. A really big one would be quite terrifying!
I love that there's that cooling-off / digesting problem phase. I'm fairly certain that that's where intelligence happens: realizing that what you're doing isn't working and stepping back from it. And in this case, returning and trying the same thing again only harder. I admit, it does mess a bit with the moral of the story.
Never seen it done by watching a person but there was a VERY amazing video on RUclips I saw a year or two back of an Italian scientist I think that proved they can learn by watching another octopus perform a task. They took a wild octopus and presented him with a crab in a box (Which he didn't react to as he'd never seen anything like it). They then put a captive bred octopus that knew how to open it in the adjacent tank. Immediately the wild octopus pressed his face to the glass and observed the captive bred octopus open the box with ease. Then, they gave the same puzzle to the wild octopus again and he solved it in no time. Pretty interesting to see an animal with a completely different evolutionary path solve problems that originally we thought only vertebrate mammals and birds could solve. I wish I remembered the name but I think it was an experiment done in Italy if I recall. I would assume if you showed them enough times, they could replicate a human doing it, though I don't know if there's been serious experimentation on it or not.

CogitoErgoCogitoSum there is one, the argument isn’t about if it’s happening or not, most people will simply look at any climate chart and realize that the earth is warming at a accelerated tempo, the argument for the smart people of the world is if humans have caused this acceleration or if it’s natural as with things like the ice age, to put simply, if you think that there is no climate change you are an idiot, however if your arguing that humans are/aren’t responsible you can make a valid point. What it comes down to is if humanity since the industrial revaluation has released the gasses required to affect the atmosphere in a way that could negatively affect the climate, the thing that the left tends exaggerate is the rate of which we’ll die. A huge thing as well is the albido effect, which you can prove at home with ice and a scale, which states that once ice starts to melt, it won’t stop, as there’s less ice to reflect light back, which leads to the ice getting warmer, you see where this is going. I agree that both major media’s has dumbed down the populations intelligence however, as no one fact checks anything, and most (including myself) don’t have the time, or resources to find out what’s real or not, and I applaud you for questioning what you hear, I will however say, take it or leave it, in this particular field I most likely have a better understanding then you of what’s actually happening Edit: I want to make it more clear that I don’t not think that you are misinformed or an idiot or any of that, as I read that I see that’s how it comes across, I apologize for that.

Never thinking my Octapus buddy would remember me, as i walked in, he/she was there at the edge waiting for me.
As soon as i put my hand in, its tentacles explored my hands, fingers, wrist, forearm, it was a really pleasant sensation.
I spent ages talking to it & petting it.
I think for almost a whole year i kept making excuses to go back to the centre to see my Pal
& sure enough, it would be waiting.
One of the Aquarium staff told me they do pick out certain people, both male & female, young & old, they have no preference but seem to Know
Somehow that a human is receptive!!
I left it a while because of commitments & sadly when i returned, i found out my pal
Had been sent to another Sealife centre because it was so friendly & they wanted to encourage
Disabled children to interact with it & those kids with learning problems.
However i have some lovely photos i was allowed to take & they are a precious reminder of my little 8 legged friend which i named Eddie.. 🐙
Peace

That’s a beautiful story. That one it was an amazing honor that you were given to be able to interact with an octopus that are so smart. We think that stupid dog tricks are good for them, but they’re smarter than us. They have more brains than we do.

And this is why I cannot eat an octopus. Also, I found one floating in shallow water near the shore one evening, while wading in phosphorescence in S. Florida. The baby was the size of a cherry tomato with tentacles and was a gorgeous deep blue. It grabbed my hand and crawled and explored my fingers and hand for a few minutes before dropping off and swimming casually away. I have never forgotten the curiosity, trust, and intimacy of that contact and cherish it always. They are beautiful and magical and just plain astonishing creatures. 💗
I mean not just octopus! Cows, pigs, chickens, and even other fish are so intelligent as well! That’s why I don’t eat any of them too
Baby probably wanted to eat your finger but wasn’t able to, because it was a small baby lol
I watched a video made by a man who hunts them in order to eat them. There, you could see how they feared him making dark clouds of "ink" and trying to escape. I think they know exactly who wants to eat them or who likes them and won't do any harm.

They are brilliant creatures. I saw another video where there was an octopus that the scientists had in captivity for a few days. This octopus learned the bottle unscrewing method over them few days. The scientists then had a freshly caught octopus in an adjacent tank that had something preventing them from actually seeing each other. They then introduced the fish in the jar to the new octopus. He was stand-offish & made little attempt to unscrew the lid to get the fish. The scientists then removed the blinder in between the tanks & allowed the freshly caught octopus to see the octopus who had mastered the bottle trick. The scientists then gave the bottle with the fish to the octopus who was able to conquer the task while giving the newer octopus the ability to watch & that’s exactly what he did. The new octopus watched in excitement while the Other octopus removed the lid with ease. The scientists then allowed the new octopus a crack at opening the jar again & the new octopus opened it quite quickly because he learned how to do it from watching another octopus do it. Definitely an amazing video of the incredible brains octopuses have ( I think octopuses is now accepted more than octopi). They are brilliant creatures capable of problem solving techniques.

Have a higher intelligence than we give them credit for, I think it's documented in another youtube video that in a small part of the ocean octopuses are actually teaching their offspring skills so they don't have to learn them again. Really the only downside stopping the octopus uprising is their extremely low lifespan, they're self aware, they seem somewhat like they have the ability to take a step back and analyze a situation, shit there is even a report of one memorizing a security guards patrol schedule and escaping to get some fish, before going back to it's own tank.
I'd like to argue that their intelligence has to be at least 15-16 on a realistic level. I'm sure they somewhat also feel emotion as well, like not many animals can just figure out very complex problems, realize how big they are compared to other things around them, try once, and then backs away to think about the problem they're facing, yeah sure a 5/yo could do that, but lets be honest here, most 5/yo are stupid, and can't figure out complex problems like some of the experiments people give to octopuses.

“They usually wait about five minutes before trying a second attempt” That octopus is more patient than me.
The idiomatic definition of insanity is trying the same thing over and over while expecting different results.
We live fifty times longer than most octopuses, so five minutes of an octopus's time is worth about four hours of a human's time.
I figure I'd usually wait maybe half a minute at most before a second attempt, as would most humans.
So octopuses are around 500 times saner than humans by this estimate.
You might argue that my methodology is completely crazy. To that, I'd like to point out that an octopus would never use this methodology, and so its conclusion that octopuses are much saner than humans still stands.

if you had never encountered a screw-top bottle in your life, would you even try turning the cap?
its actually kinda counterintuitive if you think about it
That's the point, the action has no equivalent in nature so it requires a certain amount of deductive thought on the part of the animal. If they're not intelligent enough they simply can't solve it. Octopuses have successfully passed this test with researchers who had the forethought to use actual jars and not baby bottles. They unscrewed the jars.
Yeah how could they even think of unscrewing
@@theburialground5 It doesn't really require deductive thought so much as a propensity for random or exhaustive experimentation and the ability to learn from that, I think. You can't "deduce" that a screw top can be removed with twisting until you see the threads, and at that point you're probably dealing with visual-spacial acuity and mechanical modeling beyond most animals' abilities, including humans'. What you can do is either apply random forces on it until it moves and then learn from that, or see someone else screwing a jar and remember that.
If you show them how to unscrew it, they repeat it.

It’s unreasonable to expect Octopus to figure out how to unscrew the cap, since he has no experience and no conception of how a screw thread works. I bet he’d learn if you showed him. Even the cleverest humans have to be taught. Circular unscrewing movements would be easy for his agile tentacles. What this experiment also demonstrates, is the force exerted by even a relatively small Octo. A really big one would be quite terrifying!

Never seen it done by watching a person but there was a VERY amazing video on RUclips I saw a year or two back of an Italian scientist I think that proved they can learn by watching another octopus perform a task. They took a wild octopus and presented him with a crab in a box (Which he didn't react to as he'd never seen anything like it). They then put a captive bred octopus that knew how to open it in the adjacent tank. Immediately the wild octopus pressed his face to the glass and observed the captive bred octopus open the box with ease. Then, they gave the same puzzle to the wild octopus again and he solved it in no time. Pretty interesting to see an animal with a completely different evolutionary path solve problems that originally we thought only vertebrate mammals and birds could solve. I wish I remembered the name but I think it was an experiment done in Italy if I recall. I would assume if you showed them enough times, they could replicate a human doing it, though I don't know if there's been serious experimentation on it or not.
@@renc7305 I’ve been searching RUclips like crazy, this is my last resort. Do you know the title of the video or the name of the scientist? Anything will help 😅
@@shakkabo Haha actually just found it real fast. Quality isn't great but it's enough to see and hear. Looked like someone filmed the documentary on their tv lol. Still amazing to see! Vid here: ruclips.net/video/GQwJXvlTWDw/видео.html&ab_channel=agarnold88
I was starting to feel sorry for the doomed fish..
End it, oh eat him and end his fear now…….."
I was thinking the same thing
Outside the bottle: A jaunty little melody.
Inside the bottle: "AAAAHHHHHHHHHH!"
Yeah, we need a mini camera inside the bottle so we can get a first-person POV video of a giant sea monster invading our little submarine.
I've watched some amazing animal content videos, this one is up there. I think the most fascinating was the one I saw where crows or maybe it was magpies can figure out to drop rocks into a cylindrical container with water and a tasty treat, to make the water level rise enough to get to the floating treat. Who needs the "Eureka Moment" story when you have birds?
Are they still planning to (farm) octopuses in Spain and Portugal by keeping them in tiny cages their entire lives for eventual human consumption
What about animal rights. They are sentient beings. PROTEST
@@JoanMurray-j5y Maybe 6 months ago I would have argued with you, but in recent months I have watched many videos about the intelligence of dolphins, crows (corvids), et.
Today’s episode of “where has quarantine brought me today”
😂🙋♀️🙏🐙🖤
😂😂🤣
Same 😹
😔
I just searched on yt smart octopus
Lol
"...not even his handler could do it".
Handler has never met toddlers.
Key word: underwater
I still think my kid could.
@@dreman999 doesn't matter, I just did it in my sink (multiple times) because it seemed like a BS claim. Both with the bottle full and empty.
Sure, it was kind of a pain to grip, but it wasn't terribly hard, especially if you pinch the sides.
The handler is a terribly weak individual or just didn't try very hard.
ITT: everyone has the same bottle made the same way with the same materials.
@Storm Cranford idk I kinda see both sides. Idk if they are just going out and buying sippy cups for this experiment but idk 🤷🏻♂️
I love how smug he looks looking straight into the camera after throwing a curveball at the experiment.
Yes, I also thought there was a self-satisfied appearance once he succeeded in obtaining his goal.
That's not it. He looked at the camera as if it say "see my strength human? Me and my race could crush you if we so chose. Feel lucky we choose to spare you."
Chickens need HUGS
@@DivisiveSnoo You like to make them?
@@DeltaDubs89 But we live on land. They don't stand a chance.
Let's slowly raise the temp of the water by one degree a year and see if it can solve climate change for us.
this is a genious idea. assemble your big brained team, amend the timeline to one degree every two weeks and we should have a solution in less than 6 months. please get on this stat.
Nah, but his soccer predictions will be on point
CogitoErgoCogitoSum there is one, the argument isn’t about if it’s happening or not, most people will simply look at any climate chart and realize that the earth is warming at a accelerated tempo, the argument for the smart people of the world is if humans have caused this acceleration or if it’s natural as with things like the ice age, to put simply, if you think that there is no climate change you are an idiot, however if your arguing that humans are/aren’t responsible you can make a valid point. What it comes down to is if humanity since the industrial revaluation has released the gasses required to affect the atmosphere in a way that could negatively affect the climate, the thing that the left tends exaggerate is the rate of which we’ll die. A huge thing as well is the albido effect, which you can prove at home with ice and a scale, which states that once ice starts to melt, it won’t stop, as there’s less ice to reflect light back, which leads to the ice getting warmer, you see where this is going. I agree that both major media’s has dumbed down the populations intelligence however, as no one fact checks anything, and most (including myself) don’t have the time, or resources to find out what’s real or not, and I applaud you for questioning what you hear, I will however say, take it or leave it, in this particular field I most likely have a better understanding then you of what’s actually happening
Edit: I want to make it more clear that I don’t not think that you are misinformed or an idiot or any of that, as I read that I see that’s how it comes across, I apologize for that.
@CogitoErgoCogitoSum Please tell me this is a r/woooosh joke...
Well done!!
