  • if you're watching the young turks chances are that you accept or at least

  • understand that human uh...

  • climate change and you probably know more than the average person so we've

  • got a very interesting little consequence of climate change and that

  • is that vasu regions of the north near the arctic circle are falling out what

  • used to be tundra is now where they can actually sustain plant life is so these

  • massive force are growing as we've got some interesting quotes regarding that

  • as a result of enhanced warming and a longer growing season large patches of

  • the grisly productive agitation now stand a third of the northern landscape

  • are more than three point five million square miles for nine million square

  • plotters that is an area by people to the contiguous united states that's

  • amazing found out that just that it's happening i dot e cannot see actually

  • some of the damage that the following of the country can do in terms of like

  • taking on buildings and things like that

  • but just this year or more of a situation that's popping up

  • it something that most people are really aware of it doesn't get covered much in

  • the corporate mainstream media

  • but you know what nasa has done this is based on satellite member measurements

  • and and other measurements but they found that the uh... that vegetation has

  • moved north by about seven degrees latitude in just thirty years now that's

  • because that's only as far back as the satellite record goes we won't have

  • enough there for about thirty years now but it's it's a pretty stunning

  • measurement and it does show that the arctic is changing where you know the

  • arctic is changing faster

  • than the rest of the globe it's actually warming faster than the rest of lok

  • this past summer we had a record arctic c_i_a_'s extensive is the lowest it's

  • been ibmca bizarre bazaar various of changes that are happening right now

  • that nasa is swinging their heads out trying to get people to pay attention to

  • there's a couple of other things you can check all these out at our website green

  • news dot brad blog dot com and so we have all the links all the staff dislike

  • it these really fast but there i was another study that came out last week

  • that the uh... the recent heat spike that we've been uh... observing right

  • now is the highest it's been an eleven thousand years they were able to

  • actually go back

  • and take the had a hockey stick graph that has been very popular come on prime

  • time stan meyer's and they've actually sent it back to eleven thousand years

  • and they do see that the temperature spike that we've seen last one hundred

  • years is unprecedented since the last by statements using uh...

  • seventy six sites around the world thirty-six proper proxy measurements you

  • know there's been quite a bit of information coming out and just last

  • week you know and you just don't care about this online most of the media so

  • thank you guys for covering though from so

  • really fast obvious it is the first time hearing about the situation could that

  • actually in some way to help with the problem because it would trap more

  • carbon v is unlikely to matter it saves on after

  • outer you know that uh... right now that it's a shame the editions and as

  • together absorb about two-thirds of the excess carbon dioxide human activities

  • put out

  • we're still putting out far more than actual processes campaigns weapons

  • national park in sight

  • you know i this is somewhat related to the story but obviously you know i

  • different countries are thinking of different policies that can help out

  • more carbon emissions and a emissions and

  • the one thing that i've read that it's not really fascinating animals you've

  • seen this but not being in china

  • in an

  • today she actually there they're trying to and things like barbecues because

  • they think that that would solve at least part of the problem

  • now of course china uses uh... more coal c_n_n_ our country's combined so that's

  • that's press what's the big issue there anyway

  • most of the from barbecues probably what most of them barbecues he has no there

  • is a little bit of scientific there is a bad component science that does point

  • out that wood-burning

  • and other types of inefficient and fossil fuel burning including and forces

  • while biol

  • yet it doesn't burn fat efficiently so you get him so that's that's the black

  • carbon at you know you find in your pollution

  • and if we could just pass laws that help people in poorer countries

  • say get a solar oven or another kind of heating events they don't have to use it

  • carey works for me throw

  • well okay you know maybe if they could have electricity first that might help

  • but i think about you know there are studies that show that if we can cut out

  • this black carbon and that would actually take care about a third of the

  • immediate

  • near-term arming

  • that we're looking at friday accelerate it would be back that's incredible i

  • don't know time when you hear a secretary former secretary of state

  • hillary clinton talking about the separatist outside the cook stoves

  • program that united nations started

  • it's really important because it actually

  • is not just a short term health issue for women who have to cut these interior

  • inside where they have the smoke in the seven pollution from now but it's also a

  • long-term and near-term climate

  • you learn something when you bring scientists other than malignancy

  • political scientist nobody understands life you don't agree higher than i

  • thought he was having a bit

  • also so far but if it is interesting about its obviously breaking or at least

  • interesting that this vegetation is is popping up in the north

  • abilities that because it's it's coming up because of private enterprise and my

  • accident definite as well it says however researchers say play growth in

  • europe in the north may not continue on its kerja victory

  • the ramifications of an amplified greenhouse effect such as frequent

  • forest fires over to present the stations in summertime drugs may slow

  • progress

  • yes uh... cn she does not plan to have a good luck with that if you haven't some

  • heavy rain

  • phil enjoy welfare

if you're watching the young turks chances are that you accept or at least
