To be honest I kinda miss the less scripted content from way back when. Your enthusiasm (and of course also the science) is what makes these videos so fun to watch. The genuine surprise when you find out something cool and new makes for great videos. Actually videos just like this are really nice. Just showing something you are passionate about or interested in. It doesn't always have to be a big video with lots of production value. More unscripted stuff! And keep being awesome!

Watching this at 3:41 am on the 19th. First I'd heard of anything on the 20th. I have to work that day, so I won't be doing anything. Something I have been doing over all - it's small, but a local used bookstore gives away books it can't sell. It just puts large bins (like fabric mail cart bins FULL of books) by the doors. You can take as many as you want. I've also learned that any books not taken, just go to the dump. Now paper can be recycled and paperbooks can too. Hardback books can't, unless you're like me and willing to sit there and rip the pages out to recycle. (I keep several books, but honestly some aren't worth keeping even if you are a bibliophile.)

[@markkmiecik9797]

It's not the only one. There were a few who played that game and played it well. The beauty of the game lies in finding them without help. There are many more for you to discover. Tallyho! Hint: they are not all cows. Research the miniature porcelain animals sold at the front desk shop in the 50's and 60's, and then go find them.

[@thebrainscoop]

Sorry to see you go- I understand these topics aren't easy to talk about. Environmental activism is so important because of what the science tells us every day.

[@DTofMN]

@@thebrainscoop Would that be the science that shows there is no correlation between changes in CO2 and increases in global average temperature? Or the science that says temperatures have been increasing for 3 centuries at essentially the same rate despite massive changes in the rate of human-produced CO2? Or the science that shows hurricanes are not increasing in number or strength, that fires, floods, tornadoes, and heat waves are not increasing either? Or the science that makes copious computer models that do not match what ends up really happening yet insists on using the output of these failed models to make gloom and doom predictions? Of course the climate is changing and of course humans have some effect. But the full cause of the changes, the effects of feedback mechanism both positive and negative and what humans can and should do to attempt to control the changes seem to be ignored in favor of acting like Chicken Little.

[@dreamofwings]

Cute Easter egg! Unfortunately China and India have a significantly greater negative environmental impact than all other countries combined, so demanding that the U.S. step up its environmental policies is going to have very little impact. Kinda disappointed in the intellectual dishonesty here coming from a scientific and educational institution

[@dreamofwings]

@Lost Hero I actually got it from other silly scientists like the European Commission and the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency, all of whose data is freely available online via Google. But please, do go on and assume I'm a mad righty shill instead of a person who listens to logic and data. Or an emotional reactionary like you. No one looking at the data can discount that pollution is a massive environmental concern. But don't you think it's more constructive to be realistic about who has what effect on controlling it and taking appropriate action rather than screaming and crying at the most convenient target to "Do something!!!!!"

Scientific evidence should spur laws and change. It should impact politics. I don't know how you can't see this.

i can see this. surely. but still i don't like the fact to get this shoved in my face on another channel... it's all over the media here in germany and i see the need for change but i still do not believe in 'activism' and 'activists'. just because the activists that are now protesting against fossil fuels are exactly the same kind of folks who prevented us from going most likely carbon dioxide free in the 80s and 90s when they protested nuclear energy which is basically emission free. and they're protesting wind energy too, because it kills birds. and something about solar is evil too, i guess.but energy, and a decent amount of it because our energy consumption is growing year after year anyway, doesn't pop up out of thin air, there's still no feasible way to store large amounts of energy / electricity to overcome possible power outages or shortages so i feel before we're declaring every way of creating energy to be evil we need to have proper solutions for those problems otherwise we're back to medieval times within a few years.
