[@santoast24]

Poor soils being more diversity is maybe my favorite too, ESPECIALLY paired with the Beer and biodiversity. So much so that I have forced multiple ecology/enviornmental science teachers to watch them. My 3rd n 4th would maybe be the one about Pine Trees (which I have used to identify trees) and the one about sustainable fishing.... oh or maybe the one about how Mushrooms give us rain.... OH OH OH, the one about RIVERS and why they meander like me when I stand up too fast. Hmmm, I also like the one about the rising cost of (fighting) forest fires. Man, this is tough.

The anthropomorphism in the things like neurons at 9:35 is absolutely brilliant. The sponsor of.... wait

[@muthuk]

Omg this entire piece was awesome & added even before data points to my inference that we ARE nature

[@muthuk]

Thank u so much guys & gals...the first one blew my mind adding one more data point to my inference that almost all of what us humans think we do that are unique to us from our limited perspective are in fact just another manifestation of the same thing already in nature....nature manifests in us in as much the same way as it does with everything else in our world...the sooner we see this the better are our chances of "success"

A lot of the third one has my brain shouting “sunk cost fallacy” 😜

[@therisinggarden5928]

Dear Minute Earth, I have a question. If the water cycle speeds up in warmer temps, then why are some places expected to get less rain as a result to global warming? Take the USA as an example. According to NASA’s Rainfall projections, due to global warming, The southern half of the USA will get drier and the northern half will get wetter. Can you explain this?

[@J4hjhh]

I like Kate she reminds me of my Kindergarten, 2nd and 3rd grade teachers they were nice people and they made sense all the time
