How have I (as a fan of "kurzgesagt - in a nutshell") found out about this channel only two weeks ago ... this is good, important, entertaining - I love it.

Glad you're doing this but not looking forward to the comment section.

Hope you guys will talk about nuclear energy in this series!

What if we binge-watched 4 hours worth of Crash Course videos? Jk...unless? 🥺👉👈

Crash course is so amazing at educational videos! Thank you so much John & Hank

I am looking forward to the series.
One factor I hope you also cover is how climate change choices are intertwined with other "crises" that people are also concerned about: Hunger, Information and Energy access, Plastic Pollution, Wildlife Preservation, Anti-Nuclear. Ex: Here in Oregon, there has been a push to eliminate disposable plastic bags (mostly) because waste and wildlife pretty much every other solution requires way more energy to produce than can ever be recovered. This is made worse because people that promote their priorities tend to ignore the consequences of their proposals.

I learned this all over 10 years ago back in college and I'm a little shocked that Crash Course has taken this long to make this series... better late than never I guess;)
Regardless, EXCELLENT work!!! 👍👍

This series is already off to a great start, thank you for doing this.

I am so extremely excited for this series! I only wish it had been published a year or two ago when I was still earning my degree haha. I can already tell this would have been one of the most useful resources I could have had, so I hope others utilize it. Looking forward to seeing what topics you cover!

we totally need to spread this course like a Lil Nas X song

Never heard of Eunice Foote, looked on Wikipedia holy cow she went to my school! Cool. Here from PIMA so Mr Green did some good marketing there 😊

I think the really critical point is that the global temperature has never changed this quickly before. Ever. It is completely unprecedented. That's scary.
