That is one very frightening video because Sabine Hossenfelter is a very accomplished physicist who has a deep understanding of the implication of those numbers.

I only have a B.S. in physics, but constantly meet with frustration as many of my fellow beings do not appreciate how vast an increase in energy gets connoted by a 1 degree Celcius rise in average atmospheric temperature.

Too, most are not familiar with the wet bulb temperature limit that when broken means death.

Our finite planet is going to present us with many limits in our lifetimes and those of our descendants, but let me assure you, our descendants will very much prefer that we take to walking for transportation.

Just a quick note to confess that I skipped to the bottom to see the musical section!

An amazing fact about "Real Compared to What" is that all the performers in the song attended the music festival with different acts. They had not performed together before. Les McCann got seriously stoned to calm his nerves before coming on stage.

Thanks for this wonderful pick and yes, the lyrics are timeless, the despots that rule us would not have it any other way.
