Enter the amazing and surprising world of the Namib Desert. This, alongside other African deserts, where water is an unexpected source of energy. When the rains do arrive, plants appear as if by magic, and beetles perform elegant handstands to drink the tiny specs of morning dew that ensure their survival in the blistering heat. From the BBC.

  • @cri8tor wow you're such a retard

  • That beetle inspired Dr Max Whisson of Perth, Australia to invent the Whisson Windmill, a device that takes water from the air powered only by the breeze that flows through it carrying moisture in its humid vapor form. Look for it under WaterUnlimited. He also designed a large scale water desalination system that would revegetate the coastal areas of most continents, using only solar and wind power. Of course, these ideas will not be put into action by any government.

    Oh man, you have to relax, it was just a joke. I am just thinking that your approach is wrong. You dont have to fight against your own kind, but you have to influence other people. Aggressions create anti aggressions. You will never save nature by fighting other people. There will always be people who will be against you even if you go the right way.

    But manipulating them into joining your cause would also help you achieve your goal faster.

    Wow, I made a comment over two-years ago and you have to spit out some vomit over it just because you can't make a life for yourself outside of YouTube.

    Take a break, and stop being such an asshole.

  • @cri8tor
