The DEADLIEST Pattern in Nature 

We've also reduced the average and maximum size of several sea creatures we eat thanks to laws requiring fishermen to throw back the ones that are too small. The laws are intended to ensure that only older animals get eaten, but they end up selecting for individuals that never grow beyond that size.

@@AB-un4io Nah. I'm not with you on that. I have nothing against humans killing deadly animals in their area. I just found it an interesting fact.

@@Bacteriophagebs That makes sense.

@@thanksfernuthin "Their area". Snakes don't have a concept of properties rights. Snakes don't get to challenge a farmer in court when they decide to replace wild lands with cultivated crops. Snakes live where they've always lived, because they have no other option. We're the invasive species. (And no, I'm not saying we could or should do otherwise. Species have always eradicated each other when new critters invade the historic lands of incumbents. The difference is that we have the capability to understand what we've done.)

@@altrag Wow. That's a lot to say "we shouldn't do otherwise". You go through quite a bit to damn humanity only to recognize they have a right to defend themselves as well. Keep hating humans and tell everyone you know! We need to know when people like you are around.

I think the key is the fact that all of this happened over a period of millions of years, so it was possible for some organisms to just barely adapt fast enough to survive. If I had to guess, I'd say the ones that did where those in the deep ocean (where temperatures would've been slightly cooler), or those that were small and had rapid generation times, and thus could adapt more rapidly.

Was it just the trees though? When did fungus come into the picture? These days, many species of wild plants need fungus in order to access nutrients and minerals.

​@@DemstarAus Very True, Very True!! I just learned that trees didn't really flourish and become capable of those large deep roots systems without the partnership with certain types of fungi, I can't remember the exact name but I think it started with a "myo-" at the beginning of it's long name of the type that cooperates with trees and roots systems, communicating and trading nitrates for waters and sugars.... Another interesting video/channel I would suggest is Plant Maps the young man who narrates and hosts it is just as eloquent as this young lady who hosted this video...

But we as a species may well be dead by then

​@@montyiscool11the difference between us and every other dominant species before us is that we actually bend this planet to our will. Other creatures may have dug holes to hide in like the moles, or turned trees over like the mammoths, but we dig to extract metal, with which we cut trees to then build houses with. We are better than anything else before us. And we have the agency to prevent acts of nature from wiping us out.

Not several thousand years, but maybe several million

There are already microbes/small insects (can't remember the size of it) that ingest microplastics and turn them into nanoplastics... which is neat and all but also worrying as we have no idea what microplastics do to humans and animals systems, let alone nanoplastics. And we're ALL walking around with plastics in us.. it's actially pretty insane

That's fair. Erika kept this to science, which I respect, but a big glaring problem that any anthropologist would point out is that ours is a political-economic system. Not a political system and an economic system existing on their own, without influence from the other, but a deeply integrated---or compromised---system where the few determine all for the many. As long as neoliberalism is the orthodox ideology of the world, we will not be able to stop these selfish, short-sighted, profit-motivated behaviors. Because it's not any of us making those decisions with any amount of actual power. It's people who benefit from driving this train with no breaks off the edge as long as they get theirs. It's genuinely depressing.

The earth will survive climate change, but the big question would be if *we* could survive. I doubt we will, but maybe impending extinction will promote future generations to greater collaboration.

There's 2 big reasons for why climate change will be way worse than it otherwise would if similar warming occurred deep in the geologic past. One is that we've absolutely destroyed much of earth's nature due to overpopulation, such that things simply can't adjust. Many species and even entire ecoregions are left as little fragments, which while they can sustain themselves (somewhat) during stable conditions are really prone to falling apart if those conditions change too quickly. The other is that humanity was very much so born in and designed for the Quaternary ice age. If we end the ice age, we will end up in a world that we really didn't evolve for. Sure some of our distant ancestor hominids _did_ precede that ice age, but the earth was already pretty cool by then and most of the advanced species that we truly resemble came after its onset. Very tropical conditions are better for life as a whole, especially with a continental configuration such as our modern one with fairly even spacing of continents that allows for the oceans to moderate things and add moisture; its just that those very tropical conditions kinda suck for us thoroughly subtropical humans. What really scares me is that our current situation strongly resembles the Late Devonian extinction (or rather series of extinctions and biodiversity crises). That one was likely made far worse by a combination of invasive species as Pangaea began to assemble, rapid climate swings, shifts in ocean currents (again because of Pangaea assembling), and of course the sedimentation and algae blooms. Today we get similar sedimentation due to deforestation (since of course the soil is already there and now trees hold it back), invasive species galore, and of course our rapid climate change is just going to add fuel to the fire. Fun times.

I'm just hoping to have fun and be happy in my lifetime (and doing what I can to help the planet, but I have some health things I need to take care of too.) There's a lot of doom and gloom in the future but at least I can make little things to look forward to. On a more relevant note, a lot of this climate change stuff will exacerbate inequality within our societies. The people with less access to resources will be hit the hardest. Meanwhile, the billionaires will play roulette with their rockets and sci-fi delusions.

Glad to know I'm not the only one that was tearing up! I almost broke down bawling for some reason.

The problem a lot of these WEF-controlled politicians have, is that they destroy the current infrastructure, instead of trying to expedite the r&d of green replacements that are so superior in every way, that there's simply no reason to use fossil fuels anymore. Going to war with the increasingly growing poor is just going to lead to revolt and possibly WWIII. Fossil fuel technology is already peaked. It has 10,000 moving parts, which can all fail and it is flawed by design. We can and should make green tech superior. As for veganism, we need to just make meat more efficiently. We're meant to eat meat and veggies, not soy lecithin and hyper-processed carbs.

Nuclear war has been avoided for 70+ years and despite the increased levels of conflict recently there are still no signs anyone is trying to use one. AI is not going to destroy us directly but it could make us more divided as people use it to push misinformation. Climate change is the only one I'm concerned about but as she said in the video, we cannot destroy the earth, we will probably not destroy ourselves either imo, but our numbers will be reduced.

We are not powerless to stop it at all. Far from it. We can stop climate change, by planting trees and rebuilding the forests, by replacing fossil fuels with a combination of nuclear and renewables, and by making our cities walkable, with a healthy public transportation system. We can stop nuclear war by simply working to build peace among the people of the world. And AI...is overrated as a danger to humanity. None of them have any will of their own to act, and the idea of apocaliptic AGI is a fantasy, with zero basis, with the most effective AI types today needing exponential increases in training data to get linear increases in capabilities(according to actual studies of their abilities). The main dangers of AI are in their use to depower workers, increase the quality and quantity of disinformation, make it easier for people to cheat on their tests, and increase wealth innequality. And even with all of this, regulation can, and will limit AIs massively.

From Mr. WURTZ

I'm skeptical of that since UVC tends to turn oxygen into ozone on its own.

​@@ryelor123 halocarbons (organic compounds with halogens like fluorine, chlorine, and bromine attached) such as the ones that were released en masse in that event, trigger a cascade of reactions. They destroy ozone on contact, but the compounds they make as a result are often just as reactive, and will break apart into equally or even more reactive compounds from UV irradiation. And there are reaction cycles that regenerate the original. So, even though the UV is generating more ozone constantly, under those conditions it is being destroyed as quickly as it is being created. A good parallel is the hole in the ozone layer. Humans were using halocarbons (chlorofluoro-carbons specifically) as refrigerants and other industrial uses since the 70s. They slowly leaked into the atmosphere and began depleting the ozone layer, eventually leading to holes over the poles. The use of these compounds was banned worldwide and some 20-30 years later the ozone layer is beginning to recover with a projected return to normal levels in around 2075. Even if we take a similar recovery timescale, that's still several generations of surface lifeforms that are exposed to vast quantities of UVC and UVB radiation. This would have shortened lifespans, introduced mutations, and potentially even sterilised the surface soil.
