   Okay. So, the exposed 5-m thick sequence rests upon a basal gravel that is at modern stream level and largely covered with alluvial sands and gravel. A distinctive organic carbon-rich dark blue blue-gray silty mud directly overlies the basal gravel. The The silty mud is capped with a coarse cobble channel deposit, and a second dark layer consisting of finally laminated dark gray to black sandy silt. The upper dark layer is also organic carbon-rich, and contains, and this is where it's interesting, carbon which uh uh is also organic carbon-rich and contains charcoal and charred tree branches up…

   So, in other words, you've got these pine, juniper, and cypress forests growing on the California mainland and on the the island, which which during at this point is a single island, right? It's In In when I pull up the map here in a second, you'll see. Um Right? Um the onset of the Younger Dryas closely correlates with a major abrupt decline in the abundance of juniper cypress pollen, suggesting that these trees were abundant regionally before, but not after 13 to 12.9 ka. The major reduction in the mountain forest vegetation corresponded with a distinct increase in grass and herbs, mainly fr…

   So, you've got evidence that there was a barren landscape that came right after this deposition of these dark layers with charred tree branches loaded with charcoal. Huh, pretty damn suggestive. Evidence for intense wildfire and abrupt ecological disruption on the Northern Channel Islands is consistent with the vegetation and charcoal records from the Santa Barbara Basin, which is right next to the islands. I'll pull up a map here in a second. The longest and most continuous available for the Santa Barbara Channel region. Pollen assemblages, because obviously by looking at the pollen in a depo…

   You can have a drought and then there was people there and people can start fires and of course they would be you know uh paleoindians and you know the whoever was uh the Aboriginal people at that time they uh they would definitely be using fire. So he's saying if there was a drought you could you could have this burn layer. But to me it's such a ubiquitous layer over such a large region. It's like what is the likelihood that you would have that? It would preserve you know to me it looks like an event. >> Yes. >> So I think the event makes more sense. I mean he's got a good point b…

   Fire is a recurring ecological disturbance in tropical grassy biomes, exerting strong selective pressure. Although adult species have a high capacity for resprouting, little is known about the age at which young plants acquire resilience to fire. This knowledge has practical implications when considering fire management frequency and the introduction of prescribed burns in areas under restoration to ensure the survival of vegetation. Thus, our objective was to evaluate the time required for native Cerrado grasses to become resilient to fire, analyzing their survival and recovery capacities at …

   However, this is what I found very interesting when this article was published back in 1992 because I'm already thinking impact at the younger dus boundary at this point for other reasons which we can talk about later. But this was published in the geohysical research uh letters on March 3rd 1992. And this is what they found. Biomass burning is influencing the atmospheric chemistry by emitting large amounts of reactive species such as hydrocarbons, organic acids, and nitrogen compounds. Polar ice cores provide a unique record of precipitation whose chemistry reflects the atmospheric compositio…

   The air, the water, the earth is going to be wasted. The damages can be seen everywhere. Contamination, poisoning, plundering of the earth raw-material all break down the life-processes and destroy the energy sources. Our forests are dying, the food that we are eating is being destroyed. The quality of our lives is decreasing. This we can see daily, this is a fact well known to everybody even to those who are “vampiring” nature and to the scientists who are “thinking one octave to low” regarding the natures way of functioning and do not see the large energy-crises that are emerging.

   **This is a real issue for modern life, because modern depletion rates are astounding.** If you read the aqua-diversity literature as I do, you would see in 2010 a major meta-analysis showed that the combined effects of pollution, dam-building, and agriculture run off , conversion of wetlands, and the introduction of exotic species to new habitats is destroying the fresh water cycle we depend upon. We are not going to run out of sunlight, but we are already running dry on water and no one seems to know it. I’d suggest you Google Viktor Schauberger name as a water scientist and see what he foun…

    In this paper, we provide evidence for an extraterrestrial or ET impact event at 12.9Ka, which we hypothesized caused abrupt environmental changes that contributed to YD cooling, major ecological reorganization, broadscale extinctions, and rapid human behavioral shifts at the end of the Clovis period. So, this is the paper that launched the I think one of the more preeminent scientific controversies of our time um and of course it was immediately savaged by the critics u before I think long before they had a chance to even fairly evaluate the merits of the hypothesis. So we have another paper …
