Amazon's case is worse or just a renewing effect? I tried to read more but I haven't found enough sources :/

@@collazoseinos672 this is human made. It will not be replaced with forest

Yup

@@collazoseinos672 Amazon is being razed to make space for farmland. It's not a renewing effect.

+Moody I refuse to watch videos that don't include distance in proper furlongs.

Moody AM TRIGGERED THAT THEY DIDNT ADD KELVIN seriously the forgot kelvin

Moody *they

Kelvin is only used when it's a very high temperature. Like, 10.000 C°.

None of them are SI units

+DJDudich the "feminist" ones as well? :)

+none none The feminist videos are mental poison.

***** I guess you're not in touch with what feminists have been saying and doing in the last few years ... and it certainly *does not* mean equality for men, only women ...

+CeaoS +亜梨沙I think in English both meanings are correct.

Laquin Laquih can you point me to an English dictionary where it *actually* says that feminism is for equality for women AND men? wouldn't that be the definition for humanism, egalitarianism or something???

I usually am unable to sit down and watch a scientific video properly, but this - really made me see it from the start till the end. Props to the amazing animators!!!

+Siddharth Kansal I love you

+Siddharth Kansal I was about the say the same. Good video.

that was not a pheonix tho. it was a moltres

Me too, the phoenix reminds me of Fawkes :))).

It reminded me of hindu mythology

Tima life is strangely poetic

Obviously, that fire was human made.

So what. It's not about poopoo or milk either.

rawr XD

haha

Fire Nation did nothing wrong

👏🏼👏🏼

Haha

+Mamoru Goldstedt lol

+Mamoru Goldstedt holy shit TED Ed are fucking stoners. i fucking knew it. I'm on one right now!

Robert Bones I think they left the video at 4:20 to bait this kinda shit out. I'm leaving the country, they prolly sent the cops for my ass.

its actually 4: 21

DishSoap Gaming says 4:20 for me

+Dimi Kap That's funny because that is the center of the Chrisitian world message HAHAHAHA

+Josue Lopez Well, maybe, but i wasn't referring to Christianity in any way, at least i didn't have that in mind 😂

Dimi Kap Yeah, I know, it's just funny though

If you're talking about the video , its 3 years ago...

@@kh2b573 its still the same you shouldn't burn rainforest

@@josuepalomares6820 i know

@@kh2b573 I'm talking about the people who brush off the Amazon Forest Fire as nothing but "natural" and a "must".

Countrycowboy08 duh. Everyone knows that.

False. Here in the Southeast...it can be very humid and we have several big wildfires. Why? Because of the vegetation we have is very oily.

@@wildlandfirefighter5656the point Is that vegetation there is not oily and furthermore, the only thing protecting it is the humidity of the environment

@@elboludodelaesquina2326 palms have oily residue.

@@elboludodelaesquina2326 I think you need to research it

Well july did cause the worse temperature ever record that might cause the start the fire in the first place, climate change

But the amazon doesn't naturally burn like californian forests. The trees are different, the weather more humid and the soil isn't as fertile, due to heavy rains. It's a man-made fire, in ecological and indigenous preservation parks, by the agrobusiness men to illegally create space for the soy and corn culture.

@@mulungu6478 I'm not sure and I can't trace back where I saw it, but I think I came across a post stating/warning people that a portion of the Amazon was going to be cleared out for exactly those agricultural purposes. It didn't happen yet during that time so it didn't reach a large audience (or no one really made a move and took the warning seriously). And I think it was partly because most of us were skeptical if it was really true and "they" were really going to go through with it because it was _the Amazon! They can't be serious!_ But I guess soy and corn truly are in large demand today that burning the Amazon was "necessary".

The cherry on top of it is that our president says environmental NGOs started the fire because of the cut in budgets to protect de Amazon rainforest..

@@mulungu6478 agree. And the president itself personally admitted that he wanted to burn Amazon forest.

Glicia Peclat wow thanks for spreading lies and misinformation on every comment

Fishy

Pablo Limo What’s fishy?

Meee

@@DanksterPaws That everybody is getting this video in their recommended list (a 3-year-old video) just when there's a huge political debate about the Amazon fire

Pablo Limo How is that fishy? That’s just youtube giving you relevant information based on what you, and everyone else is watching

I fond it hilarious this was in my recommended right after i read about the Amazon fire

Wow! This is very smart thing from you

Thing is, rain forest isn't always wet. They get a dry season just like we do and fires do occur there. Some people do set them intentionally to cause more damage like they do here in the US

@@wildlandfirefighter5656 "in the us" thats because they have the cone bearing trees but the amazon doesnt

@@josuepalomares6820 You still dont understand it. I am a forest firefighter (wildland firefighter). Fires do occur in the rainforest. I worked with many puerto ricans whom have fires in their rain forest

I always knew he was suspicious...

never trust a bear

Because some people think the Berenstain bears were Berensteins.

+Andre Daigneault Never trust the government.

*"Remember kids, only you can prevent what is necessary for healthy ecosystems."*

YES!!!!

+Christian Gómez they have a video about mosquitos... you can watch it anyway...

+Table Salt it's the new Ebola for 2016

+Christian Gómez Do it by yourself instead of requesting others!

Easy, Chinese invented and the rest of Asia with their dirty things.

ervin serato I’m confused too

Is getting burned*

Coz RU-vid hates the environment

Perhaps coniferus trees are not in Amazon, dude

This was also published in 2016, way way back before the amazon forest fire

why is it alive today if it's been burning since time long before humans even existed? by your logic there shouldn't be amazon rainforest today, it simply wouldn't exist

They didn't dislike, how ever they have been watching the video upside down

+phani sai maybe there's a group of people who have been on a two weeks marathon of watching videos on wildfire and they came to this one and got fed up with it ... :D

I was thinking the same... would it be climate warming defenders?

jaile meireles wait ... what?

+CeaoS sorry but did the video mentioned an explanation for the air pollution? I might be wrong but compared to the global warming caused by wildfires,are those advantages of wildfires worthy?

Zika Virus, Ebola, Nuclear Deal with Iran, Falun Gong, ISIS, Russia and China! (insert more lyrics)

We didn’t start the fire! No, we didn’t light it, but we’ve tried to fight it!

Harry Wu -seeds have spread out before hot temperature sets in -Seeds have seed coat which protects them -Some do get burnt up -Some seeds come from outside part of forest

In a crown fire, that is true. They would be totally consumed. The cones and seeds do not survive a stand-replacing, crown fires the seeds are not lofted into the air. This is an error in this presentation. Serotinous cones need a ground fire to pop the seeds open. A ground fire burns the undergrowth and debris on the forest floor. The temperature at the crown/cone level reaches that magical temperature which pops the cones. After the relatively low intensity fire clears the undergrowth and the old debris, a new mineral rich soil is available for seeds. The heat from a ground fire also kills some of the upper needles allowing more sunlight through. Overall a good presentation, but it has some errors in it.

@@johnperic6860 I'll make sure to tell Helen next time I visit her grave that "wildfires aren't inherently violent".

Not good for Amazon. This only work for coniferous trees, not tropical ones.

@@solar3013 yeah I know, it just seems kind of like a coincidence

Jiraiya Sensei, sadly it doesn’t apply to this situation as this only works for pine forests which aren’t found in the Amazon which is tropical

aren't human-caused one's mostly fires caused by a campfire that hasn't been stomped out.

@@johnperic6860 you're right, no clue where I got that from

Ditto, I studied Biology, I know all this, yet still I watch.

Because it is very informative

+amir mekk It's infotainment.

+suga pls infire me You'll learn more from watching even CIA created conspiracies on the youtube than you ever will at your peon job.

+suga pls infire me Because it won't hurt to know something else.

+bob vella also fierydance

each pod releases hundreds of seeds so the hat the likelihood of one of those seeds surviving is high. But yes some seeds are burned in the fire

Master

Me 2 😏

Don't worry about our home, we will disapear not the Earth. Btw we dont deserve this life.

Noooo

It's not the same type of forest! Tropical forests don't burn naturally!

Nope, were not sure whether amazon is same as the one i the video... It was just pine trees, amazon is stropical

It's trying to educate you

@@kullywon5471 The government sponsored this yt recommendation 😅

Emm no, the recommendation is thanks to people searching “forest fire” and this applies to Pine trees in the north not the tropical rainforest

The Amazon forest is different with the one mention on the video

The video only applies to northern *coniferous* trees. Not tropical rainforests.

@@bananasaging9234 then maybe the title is a little misleading

@@johnchebun4265 true though... I also thought that it meant that it was good for the environment until i read the comments

@@johnchebun4265 it's from 4 years prior. Read the description.

The thing is, if there is no wildfire the trees become easier to burn, but that does not mean just let the whole forest burn, but controled fire
