This was great! I found this looking for videos about a seiche (that's the word he couldn't pronounce). I couldn't figure out what an underwater seiche was, but that picture he showed really cleared that up.
I find it amazing that while the island of Tasmania is displayed, more often than not, in videos such as this and in pictures, the Philippines is omitted. Can someone please kindly rectify? Thanks.
That guy is always faking a short attention span, is that supposed to be a representation of us as the audience? If so, it's annoying and degrading. Even if this is just supposed to be a kid's show, you don't need to communicate to kids like they're dumb or that a full understanding of what the scientists are saying is unimportant. Pretending to be clueless to look cool is not what our society needs right now. In order to learn what the FACTS mean we need to pay attention and ask questions.
Congratulations on being a minority subset in the targeted audience! While you are annoyed, and think of it as degrading to the targeted audience, to the rest of the audience, it is entertaining and not degrading. Now, will IBM spend a shitton of money to ensure 1% of their viewers are happy, or continue earning from the 99%. And yes, 1% and 99% were pulled out of my ass, but you get the point.
They didn't really answer the question about how they're going to solve the problem of us eventually running out of water. A better topic for this would have been things like moisture harvesting or desalination, should the need arise.
Third world countries have the highest birth rates. The best way to raise the standard of living in third world countries? Give them fossil fuels, AKA cheap, efficient, energy.
Instead the world governments are getting together to do the exact opposite. Restrict third world countries from harnessing the energy that the western world used to thrust itself into the modern age
You can control world population without genocide! Birth control in the 3rd world (just need to shut the pope up) and policies similar to the one child policy in China (2 child policy?) in the west would help stablise world population.
You can be first to go. The best solution will be birth control, like China does. The population will decrease over time if everyone is only allowed 1 child. I'm sure abortion will be required at some point....
It's sad, but the population won't control itself.
Education and infrastructure are the best ways to improve living conditions in third world countries. One of the best metrics with which to measure development of a country is the education level of women. More highly educated women in general have fewer babies; just look at the difference between female research scientists and religious baby-making machines who are kept dumb, uneducated, and in the kitchen.
How do you think you build and sustain the infrastructure that supports a quality education system? Do you think it is with expensive, inefficient, wind and solar power.
The western economies didn't rise to the top because of a "green" revolution. The United States would still be a poor agriculture based economy if it wasn't for the industrial revolution.
The governments of today want to keep poor third world countries from possibly having the same fortune we have had. And it's a shame
By forcing the poorest nations to use expensive and inefficient technology like wind and solar, we are virtually guaranteeing their inability to raise their standard of living as well as sealing the fate of our earth becoming filled with overpopulated slumlands.
Then let us see how much clean water we have left.
We've got a problem. The world's population is growing too fast and there's not enough clean water for everybody.
One of the best ways to make the population increase even faster is to provide clean water to everyone. This will mean more people have clean water and even more people don't. You need to address the population problem before you address the water problem.
This world cannot sustain another growth like the last century's.
