The thing that struck me the deepest was watching the man jog across the street at 2:46. The way you can tell he has a bad leg; reminds me of my own dad. But even aside from that, it is something that is purely him - something resulting from a sickness when he was younger, perhaps, or an injury. Something that his friends and family would have noticed, something they would have had to consider. "Well we may need a carriage because of Jules' bad leg..." And then the youngster riding passed, hands free, on his bike. Wow.

[@cheesecrumpets]

Seeing those kids playing with the boats in the pond reminded me that, just 8 years later in 1898, Nikola Tesla demonstrated a radio boat to his audience in Madison Square Garden. Tesla entertained his audience, making it seem that the boat could apparently obey his commands. Initially, they all thought it was magic, but in reality it was the invention of radio control. Just 8 years before, this video clip was recorded. This was a period of time for exciting new inventions and ideas, which makes watching this clip even more fascinating.

A person born in 1830 & living to the early 1900s would have witnessed these developments.

[@kylereese458]

@@dvl973 That's not the climate change of the modern warming period, or any other period of warming or cooling over the millions of years of Earth's the climate. Assuming there is not an event such as a catastrophic gamma ray burst that burns off our atmosphere in a heartbeat or an unprecedented astroid strike, then our oxygen will be just fine. In fact, too much oxygen would be a huge problem for Earth. It's around 20% O2 in our current atmosphere, if you go back millions of years when it was 30% then it changed life completely, Dragon Flies would be the size of birds of prey for example. If you kept increasing the oxygen percentage then we would get Oxygen toxicity, while also suffering from a burning planet. Wild fires would have fuel like never before, which would cause massive atmospheric changes from the fires themselves. So don't worry about our oxygen right now, it is fine. The question of climate change is really about if the modern warming period is comparable to the medieval warming period or if anthropogenic factors are powerful enough to take our climate into an unknown. In reality the answer is that nobody knows, but perhaps it's smart to be on the side of caution and to save some of the inevitable troubles that even natural climate change will inevitably bring. Of course, one can argue that off setting natural climate change to modify our climate into a static situation in itself is a dangerous unknown without precedent. Personally I think there are many issues environmentally that need addressing, such as plastic pollution which is unimaginably destructive, but anthropological factors that can modify climate should be addressed as much as possible, as it's not the type of runaway situation that we want to take a chance of, even if an end of the world situation is definitely not going to occur even if we pass a +2°C average temperature mark. If you are interested, the medieval warm period which I mentioned is a period of clear climatic warming that occurred in the middle ages due to natural reasons. At the end of the medieveil warm period (950-1250), there was the beginning of the little ice age which climatologists outline as from around 1300 until 1850. The little ice age was driven initially by volcanic activity, while changes in ocean currents as a result of increases freshwater from melting artic icecaps also caused change in the gulf stream across the Atlantic. As the climate cools again, the currents revert back and the system continues. There are other factors in climate change too, such as solar cycles, oribital cycles and volcanic activity, which have been partly attributed to the MWP in themselves can start a chain of climate changing events which can take centuries to start flipping back.
