Nature can be wonderful if we treated fair.Sequoia trees I believe are the wisest species on this planet, they live for thousands of years in harmony-with nature , and have no brains and yet they exis, consciousness as the human species sees it doesn’t exist in the Sequoia species .although they have the power to exist for thousands of years, I don’t think the human species has that power of consciousness , they have the same DNA and they do everything that humans do ,we should study more of their consciousness surely they have something to offer . They live in the same planet.

Right off the bat, this video is wrong. I just watched a video a few days ago, where they showed that there are over 500,000 sequoias growing and thriving in the UK. That's more trees than are in California. It's actually good news, because it means that they are protected against extinction in their native habitat.

@EpitomeVideo 7 ай бұрын

It's true that video speech dubbed by AI tools doesn't have the same flavor as a real human voice. In fact, AI voiceovers have been around for a long time. However, the proliferation of AI tools has increased these voiceovers. Because it is much less costly and laborious. The reason why we use artificial intelligence voiceover on this channel is that it actually costs less. Because professional tools are very expensive. Finally, as the channel administrator, I still find my English pronunciation insufficient :) I hope you will be tolerant of the shortcomings in the channel and support us.

Hello, thank you for your interest. The nature and purpose of the channel is to offer the viewer an intellectual and engaging exploration on a scientific basis. In this context, we take care that the information provided by each video has scientific accuracy. That's why we prioritize quality over quantity. But at the same time, we don't want to bore viewers with scientific and boring terms. In this respect, we try to strike a balance between quality and attractiveness. So this is neither a pure entertainment channel nor a lecture channel. If you want to explore the intellectual things about life and nature, you are in the right place.

Let's be perfectly clear, the U.S. forest service didn't "take a long while to realize" the fires were necessary to health of the forest. The idiotic practice of extinguishing all fires in the forest, was born of complete disrespect of the vast knowledge of the people's who occupied these lands, for 1000's of years before European's declared this place as "ours". Get with it U.S. There's lots to learn from cultures other than my horrifically stubborn dominating gov't. here on Turtle Island. Running for our lives from elsewhere, one might think we'd be more open to the wisdom of the tribal elders here before us, but instead we're like invasive species having done huge damage in just a few centuries. High time to become the stewards humans are meant to be.

Coastal redwoods are actually the largest tree species not giant seqouia. The giant seqouias just have larger still existing trees. But coastal redwoods are much taller, 50 to 100 feet taller on average. And the oldest are even older and thicker than giant seqouias. A recently, last decade or so, discovered coast redwood is wider at its trunk than the widest giant seqouia.

You had me until you started talking about "climate crisis". Have you ever heard of Solar Radiation?

@EpitomeVideo 7 ай бұрын

When you say solar radiation, I think you just don't mean the sun's rays on the visible spectrum. Because solar radiation is a wide flow of energy that contains different electromagnetic frequencies. This includes the rays necessary for living organisms in the world, and there are harmful ones. In general, we can divide radiation into three. These are: direct solar radiation, widespread solar radiation and reflected solar radiation and the sum of all of them global radiation. I don't understand exactly what you mean. However, as I said, more or less, useful or harmful, all of the rays coming from the sun are already considered electromagnetic radiation of the sun. Solar radiation can be counted among the natural causes of forest fires. Because the radiation accumulates in the atmosphere that creates a greenhouse effect and increases the average temperature of the world. Therefore, if solar radiation causes forest fires to emerge, this is the global warming and climate change that I call the "climate crisis". Can the solar radiation cause forest fire independently of this? Actually yes. The causes of forest fires include both global warming -related solar radiation and solar radiation independent of global warming. However, research usually shows that global warming has a greater effect on forest fires. It can increase the frequency and severity of forest fires by creating conditions such as global warming, temperature increases and drought. This causes forests to become more dry and more prone to burning. On the other hand, solar radiation can cause fire, especially in dry and hot conditions. As a result, although both factors are among the causes of forest fires, the effects of global warming are wider and more comprehensive. The radiation that causes fires independent of global warming is not as much as the climate crisis and the destruction caused by global warming. Among the natural reasons, the increase in forest fires is essentially due to the rise of the average temperature of the world. Research has also proved that industrialization and other human activities increase the average temperature of the world at least 1 degree. We also saw that 2023 was the hottest year. These temperatures are expected to increase further. Moreover, the increase in these temperatures and the proliferation of forest fires over the years follows a proportional path. Especially in the last 50 years due to human activity, the melting of glaciers, the increase in harmful gases and the erosion of the atmosphere that protects the world is also related to this. If the main reason for the increase in forest fires and other problems I have counted, the consequences of this would appear different if the effect of pure solar radiation was independent of the climate crisis. In other words, the 11-year cycle of solar radiation, the development of these cycles independently of human activity and the condensation of radiation in the north and south poles, the proliferation of forest fires in the 21st century, the condensation of fires in tropical/semi-tropical regions, the inability to control the radiation from the sun and the development of other problems does not coincide. However, it is necessary to understand the following difference; Greenhouse gases imprison the solar radiation in the atmosphere, which increases the average temperature of the world, and as a result we encounter many problems such as drought, glacier melting, forest fire and air pollution. In other words, the natural causes of forest fires include solar radiation, but the reason for this is the global climatic crisis that increases this temperature. Finally, the imprisonment of solar radiation in the atmosphere, the natural reason for the increase in temperature, but we see that the reason for this is the greenhouse gases. Therefore, if forest fires are increasing due to temperatures, it is also due to the fact that human activity reaches a harmful point for the world. In addition, if you want to listen more about solar radiation about the 11 -year cycle, you can look at this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmHVqqKvn9mgqs0si=2ogmpxryed_9fjzl

@@EpitomeVideo thanks for responding and asking for feedback. i found the narration to be very rapid, flat. what i'm referring to is if fell flat, a single tone without expression. sounded like someone was simply reading off facts in rapid fire succession and less like sharing information about a tree that is as old as time. as for the speed of the speaking, i felt uneasy in my stomach because the video movement didn't keep up with the verbal narration. my eyes were expecting faster edits based on the speaking speed. i hope that helps and again, thanks for asking.
