[@kurzgesagt]

Thank you so much for having us MinuteEarth. It was so cool to work with people who really know what they are talking about - we never worked with a team that was so thorough about every single detail. The amount work and love to detail Minuteearth put in their videos is impressive. Definitely reflected on us. Also, everyone who is looking for the Tardis: We forgot to put it in. Sorry.

[@MrCristie1]

[@quakquak6141]

***** you also worked pretty hard for this video, youre quality is usually really good but in this video is fantastic (I have the feeling animating molecules bouncing all over the place was really hard)

[@ricardasist]

***** I thought the animation style was familiar

[@AustinPinheiro_uniquetexthere]

***** i read this mostly in the narrators voice

[@sergimartin7180]

***** Thank You, I loved the animation!

[@iCanHasRandomness]

instantly recognized Kurzgesagt's animation style. Great video, both of you!

[@satamakotka793]

Exactly. I was like, were is the "atoms don't look like this"

[@5nefarious]

Yuro Lohe Within the first second I was wondering why MinuteEarth stole Kurzgesagt's animation. Then I read the description. This is a great collaboration.

[@adityakhanna113]

Yup... That did feel non-Minutey... And then came the pinball and the birds.. Then all was set

[@techcommenter]

No duck?

[@bricejohnson4272]

sibtain ali There were ducks on this. BTW, Henry needs to learn German. He said Kurz Gesagt wrong and I learned that Henry's last name, Reich, means Kingdom in German. So German is a must learn for Henry!

"an unlivable -18C" *Distant laughter from Oymyakon, Russia*

[@augienelson993]

Behind TheWall writing from northern america.... yea poor them, i can't possibly imagine living in a world that's warmer than the average temperature

[@ipodtouchiscoollol]

Well thars the average temperature I would like to see you survive 100 Celsius or -140

[@TheZALGOisCOMING]

ipodtouchiscoollol He didn't say 100 or -140 is unlivable, he said -18 is unlivable. Which is silly, because Oymyakon has an average -31, proving that -18 is quite livable.

[@liedamen4233]

Because you can buy products from zones where you can live in on the moon that's pretty much impossible

So you're saying 1% of atmospheric gas collects 90% of all our heat?! #occupyatmosphere

[@TheReaper569]

trolltacular1 some gasses are better at this than others. some go real pro at absorbing heat.

[@jonhall152]

trolltacular1 Water vapor is about 30 times better than CO2. CO2 doesn't trap hardly any heat. This is just a dumbed-down generalization for the public. The question posed by global warming hypothesists is: does the excess CO2 we've put into the atmosphere cause an increase in surface temperature which results in a runaway greenhouse affect? The CO2 is simply a trigger in this hypothesis which sets off a cascade of other things which results in the earth becoming warmed very rapidly. Most people only know what they are told in public school and by the media: CO2 BAD! It is far more complicated. However, the divisiveness of the subject is quite simple. We now have zealots on either side of the issue which serve to sell books, get votes, or leverage businesses. The only people who have a handle on things are those who know what science really is. They are the ones who know this is simply a hypothesis and cannot really be tested for efficacy, thus leading to what is a true scientific theory (such as the theory of quantum mechanics). However, studying these ill-affects (or lack thereof) leads to a better understanding of our climate systems in general and even of our understanding of the earth itself. Just don't let politics ruin the fun of reading the research :)

[@listenherejack]

Jon Hall ...it was just a joke, dude. I hope you didn't spend all that time writing that down, and that it's just copypasta.

[@jonhall152]

trolltacular1 There are plenty of others who will benefit from reading it :)

[@only20frickinletters]

Jon Hall Global warming is a theory, not a hypothesis, and it is perfectly clear that the excess CO2 we are dumping into the atmosphere is causing a runaway greenhouse effect.

[@mintaosi3195]

It feels so weird watching a kurzgesagt animation with a different person voicing it.

[@Steven-gy1cb]

ikr!!!

[@mowu8459]

[@mintaosi3195]

Yep.

[@justAguyDs]

yep. and now I know how to pronounce that without an English accent

[@eloujtimereaver4504]

You mean now you know how to say it with an american accent?

[@AceHawk37]

[@wyvernlord23]

Oh Kurzgesagt definitely animated this.

[@loookclick938]

By the time you can see the ducks, you can most assuredly tell its Kertzeg.... Yeah I can't spell it on mobile.

[@AustinPinheiro_uniquetexthere]

AndreLevin they forgot to put it in apparenntly

[@AnstonMusic]

Mastersword234 It's "Kurz" for short and "Gesagt" for said. You can translate that to "In a nutshell", or "to put it simply" etc.

[@JackSparrow-tn6ic]

The way he says "kurzgesagt" ... :D

[@iCanHasRandomness]

It's rare I comment on these videos, but I just wanna say those animations were a) really well done & un-intrusive and b) sold this video in such a fluid yet easily understood way. Well done on using all that Patreon funding so well guys/thanks for the videos!

[@nolanthiessen1073]

I have learned all of this over my 5 years of university, but this was a fantastic generalization for the general public.

[@Xqvvzts]

Nolan Thiessen Really? You needed university education to learn basics of Global Warming?

[@nolanthiessen1073]

Xqwzts Of course not. Like I said, this is a great generalization.

[@lonewolf29079]

Xqwzts considering it's a university level education, he most definitely learned more than just the basics. Be real Xqwstz

[@chaquator]

***** since when was being condescending considered smart?

[@RedTriangle53]

Xqwzts WUT U ONLY LRND THET IT WAS NITROGEN IN THE ETMOSPHERE DURING DE FURST 4 YARS OF UNIVASERTY?

[@gabrielgomesbrito]

Kurz Gesagt's illustration and animation style is probably my favorite in KZbin's education channels, followed by some of Ted-ed's animators and MinuteEarth. It's great to see two awesome channels working together.

[@555atU]

Greenhouse gasses don't trap heat. They scatter it. That doesn't translate into heating anything.

[@angelo9604]

am i the only one who checked if he was a kurzgesagt video after seeing the animation

[@zahidahmed586]

*T O T A L L Y*

[@strawberrymilk_nya]

Totally not!

[@ville7213]

Holy crap this video looked great! :O Hope you keep making them like this because I absolutely loved the new look!

[@nunoferreira6344]

Dat Ty Kurzgesagt made the Video. If you like that type of Animation check out the Kurzgesagt Channel! They are both my Favourite Science channels!

[@ville7213]

Nuno Ferreira

[@Mcepicz10]

Dat Ty Yeah the animation is great but don't expect it on any other videos for minute science, but I would be down for more collab between them

[@GraveUypo]

Dat Ty i do too, which is why i immediately subscribed to the guys that made it.

[@nukeclears]

I love Kurz his animation style so incredibly much.

[@sinephase]

great animations! :)

[@PanicKing_]

sinephase HAHAHAH YES!!!

[@joshhyyym]

It does rather miss the point of the shorter wavelength light passing more easily through the atmosphere, whereby it then strikes the ground, heating it, and then is radiated out at a long wavelength. This is then more fully absorbed, and reflected by the atmosphere.

[@Hofftari]

Joshua Mcateer But shorter wavelength photons carry way less energy than longer wavelength ones, such as infrared.

[@joshhyyym]

No the short wavelengths are the most energetic. E=hv

[@joshhyyym]

For clarity, that was meant to be a nu, for frequency

[@curiouslook9115]

Joshua Mcateer well to be fair to the the video is about "how do green house gasses work" not "how does the green house gas effect" work. i'd make a small argument those are slightly different videos. i do with they covered the entirety of the green house gas effect though. this was amazing physics i didn't know though

[@Nedserd9351]

i can't watch the animation without kurzgesagt's voice!

[@Gynoidmm]

Dresden I can

[@raghunathb402]

Nedserd I love that voice tho

[@iestynjones5796]

An excellent explanation for the layman of the mechanism of absorption of electromagnetic radiation by atmospheric gases. Brilliant work. Thank you.

[@hglee5930]

I do like the hand drawn pictures in the usual videos, buy I indeed enjoyed today's animations. Great fun watching & understanding.

[@connorV96]

MagnificentXXBastard ah ok, I did German when I was at school, that means white sausage, correct?!

[@lexus4tw]

Connor V correct, but it's probably better known as veal sausage

[@Weisswoscht]

Connor V Yes it is, and it tastes awesome :3

[@andysfavoriterecipes3847]

The best detailed explanation on YT so far

[@farismitri]

Great Animation! Awesome you guys are partnering with Kurzgesagt!

[@Ruben_Peter]

I always woundered why C02 is so significant for Earth's climate. Thanks for this great explanation. BTW LOL "körsgesäägt"

[@electromika]

I needed to check what channel i was watching in because of the kurzgesagt visuals but Henry in the audio...

[@geetugupta7244]

I obviously knew what's Greenhouse effect but never knew green house effect worked because of this, thanks!

[@thatguyisaguy]

Mr. Gesagt has a really great ability to illustrate!

[@sky_6115]

This is the best quick explanation I have ever found!!! Thanks for making such a clear video with such great animation~!

[@RodLandaeta]

Two of my favourite channels working together. Next is for you guys to work with sci-show or PBS Spacetime :D

[@ajc1476]

or its okay to be smart

[@RodLandaeta]

Yup, I like that one as well.

[@chefRyan38]

Awesome vid as always, but yeah this animation is just great. Really hope you do more collaborations with them, the simple but effective animations coupled with your excellent explanations created a great learning experience.

[@becton98]

The love the animations doe by Kurz Gesagt i could watch them for ever

[@nolanthiessen1073]

Before anyone mentions that the heat seems to be going ahead of CO2 release in the graph at 2:32, here's the explanation. Yes, historically the start of warming precedes the rapid release of CO2 (giving it a 'head start', thus appearing to stay ahead of CO2 at all times). However, over 90% of warming occurs after CO2 begins being released in significant amounts. www.nature.com/nature/journal/v484/n7392/full/nature10915.html Warming generally starts with Milankovitch cycles, which are variations in Earth's position in space, which alters the amount of solar radiation hitting Earth. When the cycles line up 'correctly', Earth starts to warm. This warming leads to warmer ocean temperatures, which lowers the solubility of CO2 in them, and melts permafrost, which releases GHGs from the frozen soils. That CO2 then builds up in the atmosphere, capturing more IR energy. This sets off a cycle of continued warming until another geologic circumstance reverses the cycle. The warming may start before the rapid release of GHGs, but without the GHGs there simply wouldn't be very much warming. This is one of many ways that climatologists know our current warming climate isn't primarily caused by nature. There is no noticeable trigger in our records of the Milankovitch cycles which explains why the warming started.

[@theamazingbrokenman]

Hey, Nolan. Could you check Scott Adams' posts about Climate Change and tell me what you think, if you ever have the time? Thanks.

[@nytophobiia5874]

Nolan Thiessen you should join vsause

[@kimlibera663]

Warming always precedes release of heat from any gas. Plancks Law. This is the case of earth's history of climate. Little Ice Age ends. Warming begins. CO2 follows.

[@555atU]

CO2 doesn't capture any IR...it scatters it and it doesn't equate to heating the surface. Surface temperatures can be accurately predicted and backed up with NASA probe data which are independent of the atmospheric content just by using dimensional analysis and the ideal gas laws relating temperature and pressure. And the explanation doesn't violate thermodynamic laws as does climate theory and the flat earth model for the energy budget...with a cold sun no less. It's complete nonsense.

[@MrLoneWolf009]

[@slytherclawgal193]

Trump needs this

[@skylarscaling]

Pretty close, except the ice record shows the opposite relationship. CO2 changes don't cause large changes in temperature, temperature changes cause increases in atmospheric CO2. That's why the data shows temperature changes leading CO2 changes by around 800 years, and temperatures begin cooling off while CO2 concentrations are still at local maximums. Other than that, great video!

[@geniusmp2001]

skylarscaling It's a bit more complicated that that. Relatively small changes in temperature can cause CO2 concentrations to increase (mainly because a warmer ocean can't hold as much dissolved CO2), and then the increased CO2 leads to the large temperature changes. So if something happens to directly increase the CO2 concentrations, say by combusting a bunch of carbon that used to be trapped in coal and oil, you'd still see the temperatures rise.

[@skylarscaling]

Matthew Prorok This is the "feedback" theory of CO2 driven warming, but sadly that is disproved by the historical record. Global temperature begins to DECREASE with atmospheric CO2 at local maximum levels. Yes, CO2 contributes to warming effects, but the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere as well as the net effect of CO2 relative to the much more common water vapor are much more important. That's why you see this lagging effect of CO2 behind temperature, because it is not driving temperature, it is responding to it, exactly as you explained (as well as increases in plant growth and animal abundance, which also increase natural CO2 output).

[@geniusmp2001]

skylarscaling Historically, yes. Because historically, you didn't have CO2 being directly placed into the atmosphere in large quantities. CO2 is not itself temperature dependent; it doesn't care if the air is warm or cold, it doesn't condense out at temperatures we experience on Earth. The primary sources of atmospheric CO2, other than human activity, do vary with temperature. Yes, historically, temperatures begin to decrease before CO2 levels; they have to, because just as warming oceans release the gas, cooling oceans can dissolve more of it. And unless there's a massive plant bloom that captures a ludicrous amount of carbon (as happened with the aptly named Carboniferous period), there's not really anywhere else for it to go. But that doesn't mean the CO2 is responding to the temperature; the change is in the properties of the water, not the CO2. What makes CO2 the control knob on the climate is that it's easy to change. Water is too temperature dependent; it can amplify warming, but can't cause it. The Sun can spark either warming or cooling, depending on what it does, and is the typical source of climatic shifts, but it's relatively stable, and nothing that happens on Earth is going to affect it. Huge changes in living things, such as the Great Oxygen Catastrophe or the Carboniferous or the Azolla event, can do the trick, but that's BECAUSE they affect the concentrations of atmospheric CO2, not because they directly change the planet's energy budget. At the moment, the huge thing going on with living things is humans. And what we're doing is increasing CO2 concentrations.

[@skylarscaling]

Matthew Prorok That ignores the documented CO2 concentrations in history that were well above 400ppm during COOLING trends. The idea that the proportionally SMALL amount of CO2 humans are contributing is somehow tipping some delicate balance is not supported by ANY scientific evidence. We've had higher CO2 concentrations NUMEROUS times in the history of the earth, and we've never experienced dangerous warming. Furthermore, this completely ignores the effectual side of warming. A warmer planet is universally GOOD. It means more plant growth, more animal life, higher crop yields, and overall BETTER life on the planet. There is no scientific support for the idea that a warmer planet is somehow a bad thing. The most biologically diverse and successful periods in the history of the earth were warmer than today. We're still recovering from the Little Ice Age. The problem with the AGW theory is that it is wholly unsupported by historical evidence, and so relies on hand waving and the unsupported claim that somehow "this time it's different", when it simply isn't.

[@geniusmp2001]

skylarscaling "That ignores the documented CO2 concentrations in history that were well above 400ppm during COOLING trends." No, it doesn't. The Sun used to be cooler. "The idea that the proportionally SMALL amount of CO2 humans are contributing is somehow tipping some delicate balance is not supported by ANY scientific evidence." The climatologists of the world beg to differ. And small amounts of highly active substances make a huge difference all the time. How much arsenic are you willing to have in your drinking water? "We've had higher CO2 concentrations NUMEROUS times in the history of the earth, and we've never experienced dangerous warming." Yes, we have. The Earth has been entirely ice-free many times. "A warmer planet is universally GOOD. It means more plant growth, more animal life, higher crop yields, and overall BETTER life on the planet." Not a word of that was true. "There is no scientific support for the idea that a warmer planet is somehow a bad thing." The analyses of the effects of climate change on the places humans are most populous again put the lie to this claim. "The most biologically diverse and successful periods in the history of the earth were warmer than today." Without humans. None of those environments supported humans. And, to play to your point, that means you have no historical justification for thinking any such changes would be good for us. "We're still recovering from the Little Ice Age." No. I'm not doing this. Pick one argument.

[@MP501st]

wow, those animations are really awesome

[@apenasmeucanal5984]

Seriously, this is the ninth time i watch this video, I just CANT get enough of it!

[@philbytan284]

I watch so many science vids my brain hurts !! Kurgesagt..Life Noggin.. MinuteEarth.. PlanetDolan (Facts)..Vertasium....and moreeeeee !!

[@tehyonglip9203]

Philby Tan but they are purely simple physics, no maths involved, you already feel brain hurt after watching the videos, without even touching integration and differential equation??

[@secondo92]

In physics it is more important to understand and explain the concepts and the rest is "just math". If you can't put words on what is happening, you certainly can't do the math. In other words; math is the easy part of physics, it's like translating words into another language.

[@alexm7023]

also scishow. It was both exciting and painful when I found out about their crashcourse channel. NEED TO WATCH ALL OF EM!!!

[@ExploraTuMundo]

0:19 the hottest temperature on Earth is not 71ºC is much less!

[@InternetLaser]

+Explora Tu Mundo The hottest temperature on earth is indeed 71C, as recorded in دشت لوت

[@baddriversofeurotrucksimul5759]

+Ja-Shwa Cardell That recording could not be verified.

[@InternetLaser]

that measurement came from satellite with an accuracy of ± 0.5C The reason there was no ground based monitor station is partially due to the fact that Iran does not have the friendliest relations with the west, where most of this science is done due to the simple fact that we have most of the money, and it's partially due to the fact that it's hot as balls in that desert and nobody wants to even think about going near there.

[@tauceti8060]

But they always say the hottest temp was in death valley USA.

[@ExploraTuMundo]

***** that's not true, the hottest temperature recorded on earth is 56,7ºC in the Death Valley, 1913.

[@videogyar2]

The highest temperature ever recorded was 56°C not 71°C.

[@josephfox9221]

Viktor6665 no no no. it was my temperature that they recorded thats why it was so hot

[@Zerepzerreitug]

Viktor6665 apparently, satellites recorded in 2005 ground temperatures of up to 70.7 °C in the Lut Desert, Iran. journals.ametsoc.org/doi/pdf/10.1175/2011BAMS3067.1

[@videogyar2]

Arturo Gutierrez Ground temperature doesnt count as "highest temperature", only air temperature in the shade does. Even if it would count its still fake info, because the highest recorded ground temperature was 94°C in the Death Valley of California. I hate it when science shows are inaccurate.

[@Zerepzerreitug]

Viktor6665 but if you think about it, it doesn't makes sense to compare ground temperature in the Moon vs air temperature on Earth. There's no equivalent data on the moon to use against the 56 °C you mention

[@dangp7]

Viktor6665 We need to compare like statistics. Surface temperature is all we have on the moon, so we compare with the surface temperature on Earth. We can't exactly measure the air temperature in the shade on the moon...

[@yurisucupira]

Looks like *the greenhouse effect is an adiabatic (pressure-induced) process* and therefore *does not depend on the composition of the atmosphere.* The CO2 concentration in the atmosphere is thus *irrelevant* to the greenhouse effect, because its concentration in the atmosphere doesn't affect the intensity of such effect. Here's the DOI code of such scientific paper: *10.4172/2573-458X.1000112*

If you do it RIght you can use the CC and Mute the Sound to get the Fitting Voice in your Head. also it is Adorable to see People trying to Pronounce "Kurzgesagt"

[@davidproiii]

I like the art style I hope Kurz Gesagt will help illustrate again :)

[@beatrixhaigh1757]

Love the animations!!!

[@instaminox]

This video is brilliant! thanks a lot for the hard work!

[@Rulerofwax24]

Before the narration started, I thought this was a Kurzgesagt video.

It was strange to hear Henry's voice with the ***** graphics, but it was a pleasant surprise. (***** is my favourite science channel).

If the Co2 produced relatively big changes in temperature, then why does that graph at 2:32 seem to show the temp clearly going up before the Co2 goes up? It looks like its trailing the temp on that graph, not causing the rise, but following it.

[@Kram1032]

that was one of the best episodes yet of both MinuteEarth and Kurzgesagt DE (or, well, the English version of it but those are the same people, right? - g+ is stubbornly only giving me the German one)

All I got from this is that I want to play radiation pin ball now.

[@skerochlapec4661]

Thanks for help!

[@beinyourguard]

the animation in this video is smoother than a baby's butt.

[@FNHot]

So the greenhouse effect is basically multi-ball? .... I LOVE MULTI-BALL!

[@VinSad]

From the moon illustration I already knew it was Kurz Gesagt lol

[@logancastaneda4853]

1:32 That is really fucking satisfying to watch

[@IgnantNoob]

Didn't know how to pronounce Kurz Gesagt 'til now.

[@erikjohansson4275]

***** He actually pronounced it wrong. It is supposed to be pronounced with a clear and audible "sagt" in the end. Not "safh" like he did.

[@crazygur1y]

Very helpful, thank you!

[@chrisbell7646]

Will someone please tell me what formula relates greenhouse infrared opacity/intensity to CO2 density. Thanks.
