This Is Not A Bug

Why Do Heart Attacks Cause *Arm* Pain?

Why It's Impossible To Win a Nuclear War
15 dec 2022
Check out the recipients of the 2022 Future of Life Award at https://futureoflife.org/future-of-life-award/ Nuclear war is a terrifying existential threat, but we shouldn't only fear the blasts because the ensuing smoke is the real killer.

When Tree Planting Goes Wrong

Special thanks to the Society for Ecological Restoration and its global partners for their support during this production; and to the Convention on Biological Diversity, which is part of the United Nations Environment Programme. Thanks to Kingsley Dixon and the team at Curtin University and the Centres for Mining Restoration and Healing Country for supporting and sponsoring this video. Trees are a super-efficient way to sequester carbon, but since planting the wrong trees in the wrong place can do more harm than good, we need to go about tree planting more carefully. LEARN MORE ************** To learn more about this topic, start your googling with these keywords: - Afforestation: the process of introducing trees and tree seedlings to an area that has previously not been forested. - Carbon sequestration: a process by which carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere and held in solid or liquid form. - Ecological restoration: the process of assisting the recovery of an ecosystem that has been degraded, damaged, or destroyed. - Moor: wet, upland habitats characterized by low-growing shrubs, grasses, bog-mosses, and damp, peaty soils.
