I should have known that a long time ago, but they’re political terms, they’re communication terms. Read More
I should have known that a long time ago, but they’re political terms, they’re communication terms. Read More
Okay?… Read More
That we use all the time. And some of the political terms we use, like whether it’s climate change or global warming, those start to be political. Read More
And I said, it’s the currents, the warm climate from the rainforest that circulates up to the north, and it causes a lot of the rainfall that we have when you collide with warm weather and cold weather. And I had a guy from Woods Hole, a scientist who was… Read More
They didn’t say one word about why the rainforest is important to we humans?… Read More
So I was trying to point out how the convection currents from the Amazon effect the weather. He said, no, it’s the oceans that affect the weather by far. Well, these are some of the things you have to learn. That’s a law of nature. But these principles– Let me… Read More
One of the things that I’ve learned is that, there are things called the basic laws of nature that support life on this planet. That’s what we should be talking about. There’s nothing more important than understanding what those are. I mentioned something about phytoplankton in the oceans, but they’re… Read More
Now, how could anything be more important than that?… Read More
Let me explain the physical laws of nature deal with things like, oh, they’re also chemical laws. But the physical laws of nature deal with things like the underground water systems and the theory of isostasy (coughs) which is, excuse me. The theory of isostasy is the physical movement of… Read More
That’s very key just to survive a life on earth. One of the other things that we have to start focusing on, is that life on earth is made possible by six inches of topsoil and rain. Without that you won’t have much life on the planet. So rain and… Read More
We never talk about that after we get out of the universities because it’s communication and you don’t get a job in communication, necessarily. You get jobs in management, in research if you’re in our field. But you’re really not taught to communicate ’cause it’s hard to get jobs. Just… Read More
Okay?… Read More
Now, if we’re gonna communicate, we have to train people to learn how, as I was saying, learn how to use television, use the media and how to communicate the right messages without annoying people. You can’t come out and say, the world’s gonna end, global warming is gonna raise… Read More
And maybe I have said that in some places we’re coming to the very close to the, what we call the tipping point. Read More
By the way, let me correct a couple of things, ’cause this brings up the question, what are the main missions of science and what are the main subjects that we should talk about in zoological parks or among ourselves, or even on talk shows?… Read More
There’s something that’s being left out, and there’s a good reason for it. In universities we learned a little bit about the laws of nature that support life on the planet. Read More
We’re pretty good at teaching some of those things, but guess what?… Read More
Is this irreversible?… Read More
What can be done to stop the destruction of open spaces and natural habitat?… Read More
Well, first of all, I never… You were saying that I said that there were hotspots were disappearing and all that. I’ve never really said that, I’ve said that we’re in danger of losing some of the open space we still have left on earth. No, there’s still a great… Read More
