Definitely, Global warming is becoming a huge issue, and Antarctica is of course rich in materials, likely because the magnetic poles attract the most meteorites. it has been gathering meteors since before the pre-Cambrian!
Thank you for uploading your reactions for us Mr. Terry. Here in mid - southern England we've had a storm going on... My roof is being destroyed, and family's car has been smashed in by falling roof tiles / debris 😳 I hope insurance covers these things lol. (If you live in southern england, stay indoors people, and enjoy some reactions instead, much safer!)
Other norwegians commented about this on the original video, but it's inaccurate to show Queen Maud Land not reaching the south pole since 12th of June, 2015 when Queen Maud Land annexed the remaining stretch to the pole.
Wait but that would put Norway in Violation of the Antarctic treaty, Article 4, Segment 2, which clearly states "No new claim, or enlargement of an existing claim, to territorial sovereignty in Antarctica shall be asserted while the present Treaty is in force."
@@MrLorem64 The only answer I can give you that makes sense is that I used the wrong word. It wasn't so "annex" as it was " define" the boundaries. For you see, Queen Maud Land's boundaries were never defined when the Antarctic Treaty went into effect, but it was always assumed it's boundaries be defined as reaching the South Pole and extending all the way to the 60th Parallel South (60° S) which the other claims have. So the only explanation that doesn't violate the treaty is that Queen Maud Land's assumed boundaries were officially defined to reach the 60° S and the South Pole for the first time on 12th June 2015.
To clarify the norwegian claim. If im right the norwegians didnt want to recognize the sector-principle of the claims, and thus they didnt specify were the edges of the claim were. Although they «fixed» it in 2015, and now it stretches all the way in, just like the others.
Bruh I was just watching Jay and Mark last night. I didn't get around to this video, but I was doing a whole bunch of Map Men, Unfinished London, and Politics Unboringed. Fantastic.
Your "stop naming everything after monarchs" rant was spot-on. I really hated when Transport for London renamed Crossrail to the Elizabeth Line. What did she have to do with the line?
The penguin noise is NOOK NOOK! The penguin's mom also doesn't take any lip. She will spank that ass if the baby penguin is bad. That's stuff I learned from Pingu.
So Notable leaders shouldn´t get things named after them but it only applies if they are monarchs? Coming from an American, that´s a bit rich. Isn´t Pretty much every single president represented in State/City/Town/Park/building names? Also, Portugal and Spain were/are Catholic, not just Christians.
Yeah, it being colder on clear days in the winter is why we have the notion of it being "too cold to snow" on certain days in the winter. Obviously that is putting the cart before the horse, as it is the lack of clouds (and thus snow) that makes it cold and not the other way around. But it's still useful, as you can tell by temperature forecast alone that, for example, it will be clear skies and no snow tomorrow (or other way around). For example, today was something like minus four degrees celsius here, and tomorrow the weather app says it will be 8 above. So obviously it's going to rain.
Bringing up magnetic north, the difference between magnetic north and true north was different enough for a Korean Airlines Jet to fly over Soviet territory. The end result wasn't good.
Someone not mentioned in the video - on November 2, 2001, Travis McHenry, a micro-nationalist (those people who basically turn their homes into new and unrecognized countries), claimed Marie Byrd Land and proclaimed it the Grand Duchy of Westarctica, with himself as the Grand Duke of Westarctica. Micro-nationalists love those unclaimed or disputes areas of the world. For example, in 2014, a man named Jeremiah Heaton claimed Bir Tawil as the Kingdom of North Sudan so that he could make his daughter a real princess for her 7th birthday, and the Croatian police will arrest anyone who attempts to enter a disputed area on the Danube that a Czech libertarian proclaimed the Free Republic of Liberland.
The reason Argentina declared war on Nazi Germany right at the end of the war was actually to facilitate the flight of Nazis TO Argentina, including some of their top aeronautical engineers (Kurt Tank, Reimar Horten). As one of the "Allies", Argentina could get away with much more than it could have if it had remained officially "neutral" towards the Nazis.
God it is just so sad that we’ve all collectively accepted that moment of “yeah we know that climate change and pollution is destroying the planet, you can skip telling us for the millionth time.” Because well… we *have* reached that point where most of us *know* and just accept there isn’t much that is going to change about it.
Yes, that's true. Antarctica was not the south polar landmass back then - that was Australia. But the temperature was so much more then that we had no ice caps, and dinosaurs also lived there.
the mountains and yellow flowers/meadows, with the tree line in the back of your profile picture, where is that place? Looks like an awesome location for some landscape photography, especially at sun-set🤔
Yeah Russia is the biggest benefactor to global warming. Because of the way the currents float in the Arctic Ocean all of the ice is now pushed up against the Canadian coastline while the waters around Russia have become increasingly free of ice. This means Russia can now charge ships taking cargo from East Asia to Europe. They have more access to minerals and raw resources in Siberia and the Arctic region as well.
I know that this is a lame thing to complain about, but it makes me sad that this really entertaining and well-researched video gets 17K views on this channel, and next to it "FAMILY GUY HISTORY JOKES" gets 1075K views...
