Too much CO2, holes in the ozone, melting glaciers, not enough solar panels, plus all the phobias, white supremacy, and the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
And in related news, this link from Joe Walsh, “Rocky Mountain Way”, your musical interlude.
I’ve been a fan of Nick’s for years now, he’s an old-school teacher/lecturer who really hits home with me.
Most of his audience is old farts like me.
Watched a few episodes on the weekend very entertaining and informative in particular the Paleomagnetism episode.
I don’t get it.
That the western half of B.C. (basically everything to the left of the Okanagan Valley) is accreted microcontinents and that the Canadian Rockies were thrust up when the North America slid westward into those microcontinents is very old news. There’s nothing controversial about that theory.
I guess, then, that this is about the U.S. in particular.
I don’t think that’s what he’s saying. Did you watch it all?
The oldest reference I can find to this newer theory is 2019.
Given the evidence, it suggest that the west coast is more stable than we think. Sorry Kate. What caused the rockies to lift up is no longer there.
It also makes you wonder what other continents or microcontinents existed before pangea split.
Our theories on Ice Age and a totally enclosed biosphere along with religions is in total contrast to the facts that we currently see and witness with historical society’s and massive amounts of water evaporation worldwide. Our CBC version of science is boxed for our entertainment which unfortunately has taken our education into making idiots for political purposes.
Our Sun exhaust gases envelopes our planet into its shape and stable orbit and squeezing our atmosphere and planet…unfortunately our water loss has generated an imbalance of weight mass…gives us active volcanic activity and making our mountain not weather warn by ice age
Years ago a group of climate scientists went to Greenland to collect ice cores to learn more about our current Ice Age (yes, we are still in an Ice Age that has lasted over 1 million years). An odd thing happened, however. At about 400,000 years downhole they hit grass and ferns. This is in central Greenland. It meant that the Ice Age had retreated so substantially that most of the Greenland ice sheet had melted. I believe it was called GISP2 (not sure). Funny, you don’t hear much about that one.
So the pigs with jello on their backs stood up and threw their pizza boxes at Alberta and they all stacked up until 53 million years ago when the pigs died (from too much pizza).
Or, in the old theory the oceanic plate subducted under the continental plate (movement to the east), and in the new theory the continental plate crushed over a pre-existing stationary plate (to the west) which was snapped off and has slowly been sinking to the mantle at a rate of 10 mm/yr.
The presenter has 4, doubled-sided, chalk boards and a cat mascot so he’s going to be tough to beat. And he uses familiar terms to described complex things which makes them more graspable and easier to remember.

Quite enjoyable, and now I’m late for work.
