2:57 "The veil slowly lifted and the Earth transitioned back to a swampy lush jungle" 6:24 "For the first time in Earth's history plants began to grow on land" It might have been warm and wet after the Huronian Ice Age but I don't think there were swamps or jungles.

[@tomasvrabec1845]

I mean, you can have a swamp without plants but I am not sure about jungles. Swamp is just a wet and muddy plains.

[@WhatifAutist]

​@@tomasvrabec1845I get what you're saying, but from a purely semantic standpoint, Red Ice is correct. Swamps are a sub-type of wetlands characterized by inundated forested land, so trees are a requirement. Definitions aside, I assume waterlogged areas could probably occur without plants, but they might only be temporary features. I may be mistaken, but I believe a big part of what lets wetland stay wetland are the root systems of plants keeping the water and soil from eroding.

Secondly, the beginning of massive northern hemispheric glaciation some 2.5 Mya was not caused solely by the Himalayas (ie: mountains = Co2 absorption = hemispheric glaciation).

So Earth's climate has a long history of being effected by biology? Therefore climate change can be both caused by human activity and considered perfectly natural? Yea, I like this way of thinking about it. Very nuanced.

[@solar7427]

its also as he said, while global warming and cooling is very natural the fact is that during the former events the earth had systems in place to make the warming and cooling happen. However currently we are the system that is causing global warming while at the same time destroying any system that could kick in and cause global cooling thus making the planet unable to cool itself off when a certain treshold is reached. So we should either a) slow down our production of global warming so that the planet can catch up with us. b) actively start taking siphioning our waste products back and become the global cooling agents ourselves or c) create equalibrium in what we produce, mean that we cool the planet as much as we warm it meaning no climate will change overtime. all of these require massive amounts of planning and foward thinking, and in our current system of short term profit thinking this aint working

[@tylerdurden3722]

This is one of those "correlation does not equal causation" moments. The triggers are numerous and complex. Increasing CO2 does not mean any of the other numerous triggers won't trigger the next period of glaciation. The straw that breaks the camel's back, can be one of many other things (besides just CO2). E.g Ocean currents, volcanic activity, solar activity, Milankovitch cycles itself, even asteriods, etc, etc. (Change in ocean currents is probably the most likely culprit each cycle.) Any single factor, of numerous factors, could be the straw that breaks the camel's back after Jupiter, again, tugs at our orbit.

The Earth's climate is extremely complex with all sorts of variables to consider and likely there are many that we've yet to (seriously) consider and then there are the interactions between all these variables. It is nice to feel like you've boiled it down into a few nice graphs but I don't think it is that simple. I would say that "correlation does not NECESSARILY equal causation" in that case.

[@Wouterium]

Bro man, if you were my Uni teacher I'd come to every class. This vid is once again so awesomely explained, just as I thought I would do it myself; I love it! Also a very, veeeery interesting subject that too few people actually know about

[@RyanRRodriguez]

Solid 12 minutes of information and facts about our earth.

[@bybenzo9699]

MORE VIDEOS!! We dont have anything to do while in quarantine.

[@Eldrich4291]

Exactly what I was Thinking

[@nickb322]

Jonas Venckus Yeah but they’re highly educational and probably take a while to make and research 😔

[@aidanharrison3888]

As a kid back in the 70s I was told to expect another ice age . Fortunately we've pumped so much shit into the atmosphere ,that I don't have to worry about that anymore .

[@frenchbreadstupidity7054]

They didn't tell you that you and your kids and your grear-great-great-great grandkids would never live to see it?

[@Pfh3dk]

2:57 "... and the Earth transitioned back to a swampy lush jungle." Pretty sure there were no lush jungles 2 billion years ago.

[@otterno.1128]

Yeah... especially weird as he went on to describe the first plant life forming over a billion years later.

[@MrAaaaazzzzz00009999]

i think he forgot to add it was a jungle of more diverse bacterial life. thats just my headcanon though

[@Deebz270]

Correct. The first land plants appeared around 470 million years ago, during the Ordovician period, when life was diversifying rapidly. They were non-vascular plants, like mosses and liverworts, that didn't have deep roots. . *Werrington Feasslefeet's* 'headcanon' is the most feasable(foot) response.

[@HARROWSKI]

@atlaspro you should have a paid discord or something where you give college and highschool kids the answers to their tests or online classes or something bro keep up the good work my man

Amazing video, subscribed!

[@6bombarasclategg]

Am I the only one that notices his voice is different this video? It's like his intonation is different. It's very distracting

[@Debre.]

He does this in a lot of his videos, in different ways even. It's super weird and I'm not sure what could be behind it.

[@nightwatchman7482]

@@Debre. The commies are behind it!

[@Kdot992]

I'm learning so many facts I'll probably never use but somehow need to know on this channel. Love it.

[@SidMajors]

I just wonder how feasable it is to keep the planet in 'it's current state' if it's natural state is being a heavier greenhouse.

[@alexanderdamkr5171]

Holy shit that was well made. Good job and many thanks!

[@justnoah2073]

Usually what causes an ICE AGE, is let's say the most recent movie made over 3x it's budget. The studio will want a sequel.

[@andreyserebryakov2231]

It's time we worry about deforestation the most.

Two important tectonic processes that lead to the Quaternary Ice Ages are missing: 1. The formation of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current about 34 ma (million years ago). Antartica was separated from Australia and South America, resulting in ocean passages between the continents (Tasmanian Seaway and Drake Passage). Antartica was cut off from warm tropical ocean currents and the cold circumpolar current caused the glaciation of Antartica in the Southern Hemisphere and a first drop in global temperatures. 2. The formation of the Isthmus of Panama about 3 ma. 3 ma the strip of land between North & South America was closed completely. This had profound effects on the fauna and evolution of animals (aka GABI - Great American Biotic Interchange), but more importantly it prevented equatorial tropical ocean currents from circulating around the globe, redirecting warm currents towards the poles. This lead to a second drop in global temperatures and the glaciation of the Northern Hemisphere (which is what we generally call the last Ice Age, in reality Earth has been in an ice age for about 34 million years, the Quaternary only describes glaciation in the Northern Hemisphere). Another very important factor of Ice Ages are the Earth's astronomical cycles, known as Milankovic cycles, which cause fluctuations of about 100 thousand years during which warmer interglacial periods succeed "real" ice ages. We are living in such an interglacial period right now, the Holocene, which has lasted for 11.700 years now, so the next age is probably 80-90 thousand years away.

[@ameybirulkar7503]

Dude, he told about Antarctica and the cold water current.

[@blizzard2508-k7n]

And the interglacial periods

gotta say, once this covid19 thing blows over im gonna get on that patreon because these are such god damn good videos
