Might i suggest the Suspicious Observer channel, Ben knows his facts and speaks with clarity!

[Jude]

My favorite way to go to sleep, gently lullabied by his lilting voice telling us of our future horrors. Yet it’s not nightmare fuel. That’s talent. He’s like the Bob Ross of science.

I wonder if youtube knows that their excessive ads make people want to NEVER buy from the advertisers. Its just obnoxious

[qiqxqru]

Love the sound of the voice narrating & so happy to have stumbled on this video - I will watch it many many times I am sure to remember the concepts / language of the scienc I love it / fantastic cozy reprieve from all the current news I’ve been watching thank you thank you thank you
Love it❤🌎🌌🎩

Are you serious? I was just browsing for a video to watch along my meal, refresh and what do I see? An almost 2 hour Astrum video posted a minute ago. Thanks man!

Edit: What exactly in my comment makes disappointingly many people assume that I eat for 2 hours straight? You people do comprehend, that a video can be continued being watched after one has finished eating, no?

[Delusion]

Absolutely awesome presentation, my gratitude.
I was talking with someone I just met about things in general, then when I brought up “ climate warming “, he responds :that is not the case but rather a fabrication by the powers that be, to control us 🤨, but then he say that the sun is coming to a cycle where it goes dormant, creating an ice age. And so he left me very confused and disheartened about it all.
Having a clear data, can help the whole of us to be on the same page, and there is our first step towards resolution, because I don’t think any one in their right mind would object to saving our planet, ‘less you are mad, ; what can be more important,
We should talk about what needs to be balanced, such as : a life style that is not sustainable, we should take a breather, also the balance between technology and spirituality; it seems to me that what is happening with our planet is a reflection of some thing off in our judgment and maturity as a species, certainly we don’t want to do harm to our own home/ planet/selves, or the “party” to end, or do we ?😂😮😢, much love and respect, those of us that are becoming increasingly aware of the situation, have our hands full, blessings…

1816 The global "Year without summer (big freeze)" 3°C temperature drop and crop failures. April 1815, volcano Mount Tambora began to violently erupt. Millions of tons of ash, dust, and sulfur dioxide were released into the atmosphere, casting a temporary chill across the planet as it Blocked out the Sunlight for months on end. Documented around the world in literature.

This is the best summarization of the climate I've seen. It's rare I see the solar cycle discussed to the point of nucleation sites. I wish you had discussed the long-term brightening of our sun (models vary, but scientists estimate the sun was 30% dimmer during the time of the dinosaurs than today), as well as vulcanism.

Regardless, this is the most comprehensive video I've seen and I wish more people would see it. I know I'll be sharing it with people.

[redhammer]

We won't come to the answers until money and politics remove themselves from all disciplines of science. At this stage we cannot tell a truth from a lie. Think about it.

Dear Astrum team

I want to congratulate you on this beautiful production of almost two hours on the discussion of global warming.

The extensive scientific research that you addressed and delved into is simply brilliant.

Bravo !!!

I am a Geologist and yes, climate change is scary, but through this documentary, you manage to bring the true and essential substrate necessary for us to understand the relevance and responsibility of our role as human beings within this complex cycle that has governed our planet for more than 4 billion years.

Continue to improve knowledge of astronomy and science in general with your videos.

Once again, congratulations to everyone on the team and especially to you, Alex McColgan, for the wonderful work leading your Astrum.

[kswis]

I don't think I've ever learned more about weather in 2 hrs. If not for the all mighty astrum I'd have zoned out. Truly fascinating

Solar cycles also affect the polar vortex. Solar maximums put more energy into the atmosphere causing increases in the variability of the polar vortexes. At solar minimums the polar vortexes are basically circular.
Solar cycles have also been linked to the magnetic connections between the earth and saturn.
Magnetic connections between the sun and planets is at least as important as the gravitaional connections.
Also affecting the heliosphere is the cyclical connections with galactic influences.
Good job. Well put together discusion.

Wonderfully done. 💕 Thank you for the detailed and thorough production of this compilation.

6:40 FYI at this part(so far in your video) is incorrect. Paradoxically Earth is warmer when it is farther from the Sun. This is due to the seasonal effect of the uneven distribution of land and water between the northern and southern hemispheres.

July, when Earth is at its most distant, is also summer for the northern hemisphere. The north has more land which heats faster than water. January, when Earth is closest to the Sun, is summer for the southern hemisphere dominated by oceans which respond more slowly to the increase in the Sun’s energy.

The tilt in Earth’s axis produces almost 20 times the effect of the changing distance from the Sun, and the difference in local geography is 2 to 3 times more important than the changing distance.

We make our closest approach to the Sun (147.5 million km) in January, that's called perihelion, and we're farthest from the Sun (152.6 million km) in July, that's aphelion.

"Averaged over the globe, sunlight falling on Earth in July (aphelion) is indeed about 7% less intense than it is in January (perihelion)." That's the good news. The bad news is it's still hot. "In fact the average temperature of Earth at aphelion is about 4° F (2.3° C) higher than it is at perihelion." Earth is actually warmer when we're farther from the Sun!

How can that be? It's because our planet is --in a sense-- lopsided. Continents and oceans aren't distributed evenly around the globe. There's more land in the northern hemisphere and more water in the south. During the month of July --near the start of northern summer-- the land-crowded northern half of our planet is tilted toward the Sun. "Earth's temperature (averaged over the entire globe) is slightly higher in July because the Sun is shining down on all that land, which heats up rather easily, " says Spencer.

Solar heating raises the temperature of continents more than water because the heat capacity of land is lower. Bill Patzert, an oceanographer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory explains: "The temperature of land changes easily, which is what we mean by low heat capacity. Consider the desert: At night the desert is cold, perhaps only 60° F. When the Sun rises in the morning the temperature might jump to 100° F or more." Such mercurial behavior is characteristic of materials like rocks and soil with little thermal inertia. It doesn't take much sunlight to substantially elevate their temperature.

"On the other hand, " says Patzert, "oceans have a tremendous heat capacity. They tend to keep [the energy] they capture and are very stingy about giving it back." This quality moderates the temperature swings of ocean environments. "Let's say you went sailing off Malibu Beach at noon, " says Patzert. "The offshore temperature might be 75° F -- pretty pleasant!" What happens after sunset? "The temperature drops, but only a few degrees because the thermal inertia of the ocean is so high."

All this explains why July is our planet's warmest month: Northern continents baked by the aphelion Sun elevate the average temperature of the entire globe. Six months later, in January, the situation is reversed as our planet presents its water-dominated hemisphere to the Sun. "We're closer to the Sun in January, " says Spencer, "but the extra sunlight gets spread throughout the oceans." Southern summer in January (perihelion) is therefore cooler than northern summer in July (aphelion). Strange but true!

Another notable difference between summers in the two hemispheres is their duration, " adds Lebo. According to Kepler's 2nd Law, planets move more slowly at aphelion than they do at perihelion. As a result, Northern summer on Earth is 2 to 3 days longer than southern summer -- which gives the Sun even more time to bake the northern continents.[1]


The fact that people living in the northern hemisphere are warmer when near aphelion is primarily due to the seasons, which are caused by the tilt of our axis. The fact that the Earth as a whole is also warmer when near aphelion is due to the difference in geography between the two hemispheres (mostly water in southern hemisphere, water and land in the northern hemisphere). In numerical terms, the tilt of our axis produces almost 20 times the effect of our changing distance from the Sun, and the difference in local geography is 2 to 3 times more important than the changing distance.

If I was teaching a class in horticulture or agriculture, I would certainly have this documentary as part of my teaching matriculations.

[MyKharli]

So in 10 or so years a spring tide with an onshore storm surge will deffo break records in loads of places .

[Milanagravat]

Watching from Rajasthan
Todays Temperature was 47.8 ‘Celsius

[staff]

i literally go to sleep to these. so interesting but also relaxing. it keeps my mind occupied

[elkecacib]

Amazing video! Had to watch it in parts because it is so long, but did'nt want to miss anything. Thank you for researching all the facts for us and let us know cleary what is assumption and opinion, and what is not. Favorite part was 'Context is important'!

[saurabhsurve]

Fascinating how you can relate the Milankovitch cycle with the 4 yugas.
