New Research on Antarcric Deep Ocean
"Hello friends, Early slowdown of Antarctic deep ocean currents. Recently, a new research revealed that deep ocean currents in Antarctica are slowing down much earlier than previously predicted. Key findings of the research are Early slowdown deep ocean currents in Antarctica known as the over -draining circulation are slowing down earlier than predicted with a 30 % slowdown observed over the past three decades. Cause The slowdown is attributed to the melting of Antarctic ice which is disrupting the formation of Antarctic bottom water a dense and oxygen rich water mass that drives the over -draining circulation. Reduced supply of oxygen The decline in Antarctic bottom water formation reduces the supply of oxygen to the deep ocean leading to a decrease in deep ocean oxygen levels. The reduction in oxygen rich bottom water allows water oxygen depleted waters to replace it further reducing oxygen levels in the deep ocean. Impact on deep ocean organisms The slowdown in the over -draining circulation and declining oxygen levels have significant implications for marine life as given small chance in oxygen kind impact deep ocean organisms Behavior and habitat availability May intensify global warming The slowdown may also intensify global warming as the over -draining circulation transports carbon dioxide and heat to the deep ocean and reduced. Ocean storage capacity leads to more carbon dioxide and heat remaining in the atmosphere. Increase in sea levels The reduction in Antarctic bottom water reaching the ocean load increases sea levels due to thermal expansion of warmer waters.

Fresh update on "antarctica" discussed on Blue Collar Bitcoin Podcast
"It's there's a combination of trust there. There's a combination of like people that want to learn, people that are hungry to learn. And those people who want to learn and are hungry to learn nine times out of 10, when they really start understanding, they really start digging into this thing. It becomes obvious to them. And the rest of them are just opportunists, as most of us are. Totally. Yeah, there's two different techniques that I try in the firehouse. One is I host I talk about the Bitcoin network. The protocol, some early Satoshi emails, the the the white paper, the fundamentals, no takers. The other is I rent a Ferrari at the local dealership, slap a Bitcoin sticker on it. And I go, I go, boys, I got something that hit 100 people, 100 percent conversion rate, right, like and and I'm joking around. I don't actually do that. But but we know that it holds true that. You know, it's so easy to get lured into the price side of it, the gamblers mindset, I'm just looking to turn something I'm looking to turn my ten thousand into a new boat or I'm looking to, you know, take a big chunk out of my my mortgage payment and pay off my house. And and it's it's tough and finding people at there's all kinds of types. It's a firehouse. There's you know, we have the the degenerate gamblers. We have the super conservative monetary folks who won't you know, they're they'll buy a pencil if it's 10 cents off and they won't take any risk and they do things by the book. We have the person that's just a cog in the wheel. They question nothing all the way to the conspiracy theorist who's like, oh, that's where I was going to ask you. How many conspiracy theorists you got there? How deep are they? You you should have seen the time that the FBI came to do a ride along. I mean, like there's three shifts and one shift. There's always a shift that has the most conspiracy theorists. The FBI came and said, yeah, we're we're doing this tactical medicine thing. We're going to set up shop and we're just going to do a ride along. And they set up this like workstation and you couple conspiracy theorists like. What's what's going on here? The FBI, they're riding along like, oh, they're like, whoa, I'm like, chill, dude. They're just doing a paramedic thing. I'm like, yeah, yeah, sure, sure. Okay. Yeah. They're they're doing a paramedic ride along and it looks like an operation centers in the break room. Like, yeah, yeah. There's there's it's dangerous letting people inside the firehouse because then people really start to unpack just how good this job is. Like you can pretend like we're doing productive shit in there. The reality is we're sitting on our ass on the recliner. Josh and I are off and editing a podcast. And so, yeah, you get someone inside the temple and it's kind of scary. You got to you got to kind of handle them with with gloves, that's for sure. Yeah, we have some the conspiracy theorists actually like they're easy, right? Because they they there are certain things of Bitcoin that challenge the system that lend themselves to a conspiracy theorist. You know, one of some of the folks that are think everyone's out to get them. Their biggest thing that I found to orange pill them is the fact that with a node, you can enable your own payment network, that you can make payments if the system fails and the banks go down and they go, wait, really? I can I can use a node to pay my friend for something and I don't have to use the but yeah, hey, big bad conspiracy theorists. You're on Venmo and you're out here thinking that the system's out to get you. So what what if that goes down? So maybe there's something there. Maybe for the super conservative something person, it's a you focus on the asset side of Bitcoin and just talk about how it can be a good savings mechanism over a long time for small, small little steps in. It's just it's just finding that thing. There's a wide variety, even though we're all a bunch of blockheads, no Bitcoin pun intended. But like, you know, there's different there's different avenues that open up. As an aside, before we move off of this conspiracy theory thought, what is the latest conspiracy theory you've heard propagate at your firehouse? Anything that really piqued you or you heard recently that you thought was hilariously off? Oh, well, you know, it's funny not from inside the firehouse, but from outside. What's amazing is when you watch a conspiracy theory on a topic, you know about it. I'm sure you guys saw this, too. The Maui fire conspiracies. I was laughing my ass off, not at the situation because it's a very dire situation, but at the conspiracies, someone posted this list of things on why the Maui fire was started by like a laser in the sky. We got a guy that thinks this, by the way. Yeah, well, that it's a firefighter. That's a little bit scary. But anyway, I've heard this specific one tossed out around the kitchen table. The suspicious things, though, were like the fire marshal was not in town that night. And I'm like laughing my ass off because we know the way fire marshals and prevention works. No one really lives in town. I'm sure not many of them live maybe in the actual area in Maui or wherever. And then you're like the burn pattern formed a ring or like this fire jumped from here to there and it was 200 yards away. And how can a fire spread like that? You're like study fire dynamics, just learn the way fire spreads when you have one hundred and twenty mile an hour gale force winds. And so that's been something that I saw that was just fascinating. Other than that, it's the normal Rogan stuff, dude. Your seed oils are going to kill you. They're controlling the weather. I tell them, you know, the Greeks. Yeah, the Greeks, they the olive oil, right, they didn't do bad for themselves. They did. Well, it's different. You know, the olives are different now. OK, all right. All right. All right. Yeah, dude, all kind of that one, the meats, the meats. There's a lot of conspiracy theories with meats. And I know they pump them full of water and all that stuff. But it's like, you know, that's a normal one. And I'm trying to think what else. Those are some of the hot. Yeah, they run random in the environment. We traipse around. Yeah, I was going to add one thought about cautiously add one thought, I should say, about getting to a firefighter. I agree that going straight high level and deep with anyone new is not a great idea off the bat. And you need to tailor any introduction to whatever someone's dispositions are, whatever their background is. One thing, though, that I one hook that I think catches virtually any fish, it's a dangerous hook. It feels a little flimsy at points, but it is a little bit of the get rich hook. And I. Here's here's the math on how I think this through the way I see Bitcoin and I would start with this person by saying nothing's a guarantee, but it does appear that Bitcoin is moving in one of two directions. Its outcome is going to be somewhat binary. Either it is probably going to, quote unquote, fail and taper off or it's going to be worth a lot more than it is today. Now, that takes some time to unpack and whatever. But I really do think that that dynamic is probable, that it's going to go one of those two directions. I obviously and we obviously lean towards thinking it's got a lot of characteristics, its supply and the demand that's coming towards it in today's environment is going to cause the price to go up. So one message I would impart to a firefighter, a wage earner or someone with a with kind of capped earning capacity is that I do think that the tremendous, life changing, potentially generational wealth building opportunity may soon escape those of certain income stream. Here's some math I wrote down. Let's talk about the cash flow of someone in the in the middle, upper middle class. Let's say they make ninety thousand dollars a year. Let's say this this plumber or whatever is really disciplined at saving. They save 30 percent of their after tax income. Let's call that twenty thousand dollars. Let's say they have really strong Bitcoin conviction and half of those savings, which is an enormous percentage, half of their savings is allocated to Bitcoin. That's ten thousand dollars a year. In my view, the reality is that the sun might soon set on ten thousand dollars worth of Bitcoin a year being truly life altering. And that's really far out on the spectrum of what most people in our line of work could afford per year. Let's say not that it will be a bad purchase. I'm just saying we are, I think, potentially in a small band of time when a realistic amount of allocation, even a few thousand dollars a year, could be a really, really big deal for people in our income stream. And I have found that that with someone that you trust, as long as you've communicated the risks and you avoid guarantees, at least gets the eyebrows up and at least plants a seed that can potentially grow when the price starts moving again. That's how I see orange pilling with a lot of my family and friends is like the seed was planted initially. I had less conviction back then, but back in twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen, I continue to plant the seed here in the early twenty twenties. And if this thing does rip again and the thesis plays out, our phones are going to continue to blow up more and more as more people are interested and have enough equipment to maybe make that choice the next time. It is important as you make those kinds of points that you don't come across a sure one hundred percent sure that this is going to be it, because anybody who's intelligent is going to say anyone who's one hundred percent sure of something is kind of an idiot. You can never be one hundred percent sure in anything in life. The most sure thing, you know, the sun's going to rise tomorrow, right? Yeah, there is going to be a time when that isn't going to be true, even though the chances of that being tomorrow are infinitesimally small. We you just can't be sure and you can't impart that even if you think you are one hundred percent sure. Maybe you should go back and check your own assumptions because maybe you shouldn't be one hundred percent sure, but you especially shouldn't be telling people that because that is going to give them that murky feeling of this is a salesman who's just selling his book and doesn't necessarily know what the fuck he's talking about. You should be totally forthright with the fact that you think the likelihood is very high, but it's not one hundred percent. Yeah, well, with with with that concept of letting people know that we're on on the verge of not being able to capture the early entry levels that we could right now, we kind of go back to what we started this conversation with, right, with with our buddy Thomas Jefferson about owning productive property. You know, now, if you continue, if you can't grasp this concept that you're not winning by having a million dollars cash in your bank, we're raised to think that that's winning. I have a million bucks of cash. I'm rich. No, no, no, no. You're like temporarily rich until, you know, that gets spent or reallocated. If you can get into the early mindset of Bitcoin with this concept that I will own productive property and I will not trade productive property for nonproductive property, which is the dollar, it's counterproductive, it goes down in value naturally since it was invented, you're going to be OK, you're going to be all right no matter what, even if, like Josh mentions that that, hey, I thought we were going to go up, but we had some down periods. It doesn't matter. It's still productive property. And I have it. And, you know, I would tell someone the same thing with real estate, too, right? You know, you heard when 08, 09, I'm sure you guys were in the firehouse. Everyone was like, scoop up these houses and flip it. House flippers have the potential to get burned. And people that hold property as part of a portfolio is productive property. They continue, continue, continue to be OK until you get to the point where you're not a wage earner anymore. You don't have to depend on the wages. So so it's hard, it's interesting that you guys bring this up, because within our own circle, we have some people that are committed to being wage earners for life because they don't either grasp or they don't want to have the headache of owning something that produces an income for them. It's always going to be tough, even with Bitcoin for them, because they're constantly looking at how do I put amount of dollars in and take an amount of dollars out? And that is always, even though we can say with pretty solid confidence that in 10 years Bitcoin will be worth more than it is today, I feel confident on that. I cannot say with certainty, but I can say with certainty that Bitcoin will be a productive asset, a productive property. And I do not foresee that changing even in 10 years and will continue to be so. So it's interesting things that kind of come up and how how we have to get to that deeper layer of some of the traditional financial education that never occurred for many of us. Yeah, it's interesting you brought up a real estate and I was thinking of an analogy that kind of makes sense to compare the Bitcoin world to real estate. So if you're somebody, Dom, you're in Santa Monica, if you own some nice property in Santa Monica, it's going to retain its value. I would almost put that in the real estate world, like that's Bitcoin. And then you're you're trying to flip, right? You're trying to flip properties, right? Like that's trading Bitcoin. Like, yeah, it could be really profitable, but if the shit goes sideways on you, you're financing with other fucking property, the whole thing blows up on you. And then if you're buying stuff in ghettos and trying to be a fucking slumlord, like that's shit coining all day long, like shit is going to blow up in your face. So don't shit coin, don't slumlord. Yeah, yeah, it's it's it's it's a nasty game. And so, you know, getting that mindset, what I would say to the another aspect of this that I think is really important for orange pilling firefighters to kind of bring some of this together is we are very much for the same reason that some Bitcoiners kind of question the unions that are in the fiat system. We have a one one or two feet heavily entrenched in the fiat system. We rely on wages from cities, municipalities who are very much invested in traditional legacy finance, who rely on banks, money makers, Wall Street, etc. To the conservative saver, I found, hey, do you own anything outside of that fiat system? Do you like what is it? Yeah. Do you own something? Well, they might say, well, I have gold. No, no, no, no. Gold is not outside of the fiat system. It's also very much entrenched within it. You can look into gold and even gold, gold bugs will tell you that there is some insulation, but it's very much entrenched. What do you own outside of that system? Because we've been burned by the system and this kind of ties into pensions. 07-08, financial crisis, the pensions got murdered and they're still recovering to this day. So the same system that burned you in touching the iron, you now have no investment outside of that system whatsoever. But you're like, yo, we're 100 percent good. We're good. My pension is going to be there. Everything's going to be there. It's going to be there guaranteed by the same people that put your pension in a hole trying to climb its way out. What do you own outside of that system? And the best thing outside of that system is Bitcoin. It's not even debatable. There's nothing else I can think of outside of that system that it's so strong that people in the system are now trying to create gateways and portals for the system to get in it. And that's your spot ETFs. So that's something that I use to get some of the conservative folks to go, all right, don't you're not going to retire early. You don't want to do that and take big risks. I understand that it's new and it's risky, but own something outside of the system for sure. Well said. Josh and I have bounced around the idea for a long time. We were talking portfolios on the box two days ago, Josh basically saying we check in on each other. We don't change much, but we just like revisit the conversation. What's your holistic overview of how you're allocated? And we have long said since we've been in Bitcoin that we think this thing is great for everyone. But to get into the hedge idea of Bitcoin as a hedge, it's perfect for a firefighter, right? You've got you've got a very stable job that's dependent on a lot of fiat government dynamics. Not going to lie. You've got a pension that's dependent on a lot of fiat government dynamics. You probably hopefully have a 457 or Roth IRA where you've got hopefully equity, not a bunch of fixed income in retirement accounts. As you just said so wonderfully, you are all of that is under the same bubble, and that's fine. You should have a good amount of money, in my opinion, under that bubble, because that is the current system. That is the current ocean. But there's this other pristine pond on the side, totally different ecosystem that you should hedge into, at least in small quantities, in my view, start at one percent or whatever. But it's just it's a marvelous play that could work in a different direction or solve the problems of where most firefighters and most people are primarily allocated. Yeah. And I think if you are if you're in the opposite camp from what Dan is describing, let's say you're a you're a Bitcoin maximalist who is extremely heavily invested in Bitcoin. You should head yourself in other ways where we are. The three of us are fortunate enough where we have a pension system. So the way I view this for myself, I know, Dan, you agree. If I'm heavily invested in Bitcoin and I am completely wrong, that means my pension is very likely going to be OK. So I am hedged in a way that if Bitcoin just completely fails, I'm not going to be eating cat food. And so anyone listening to this, if you're not a firefighter with a pension, make sure you're putting yourself in a position where if this thing completely fails, we are three clowns sitting on a stage talking about something that is that turns out to be totally wrong, which I don't believe to be the case. But I am not so sure of myself that to not think that I could be a fucking clown. Make sure you're covering your ass, because I don't want people to be listening to this 10 years, like hunting me down like you motherfucker, I lost everything. You three dumb motherfuckers, I lost everything. We don't want to see that happen. We want to make sure no one's eating cat food. We hate going to calls where grandma's eating cat food. Don't do it. I don't want to be I want to be the guy who made you put a bullet in your head. Hey, should we put red noses on at Pacific? Just come up to three red noses. I'm going to get a T-shirt that says I am not so sure of myself to not consider myself a clown. It's going to be me with with a red nose, like holding up two bitcoins. That would be a banger. Josh, you got to get that dude. See now, dude, that's how we hedge ourselves here. What I just did is insert a nice hedge at the end of this episode. We're totally wrong, but we told you we could have been wrong. I mean, it wasn't our fault. I think, though, to serious to your point, any time you're pioneering, any time you are you're venturing on a new technology, something that is being built in real time, whether that's a building, a protocol, whatever it is, it doesn't make logical sense to to put yourself at a position where the success or failure of that thing will define whether you're OK or not. I mean, that that goes for anything, any new thing. Right. It just it just doesn't make sense. And so folks have to keep that in mind. I always tell them I've actually talked to a lot of people on the last when we were at like 40 or 50 K, 40, 44, there was still a lot of interest even coming off of the high. And I talked to a lot of people out of taking huge, huge swings and I told them, hey. Why would you put yourself if you can afford those big swings, by all means, that's fine, if you're looking at it like this is disposable cash and I'm going to take this huge swing, I understand, but but how could you put yourself in a situation where you're going to lose something you worked really hard for without knowing more about what that thing is? Slow down, get in, learn some, get in, learn some. And those people came back to me even after FTX and I was expecting to say, hey, dude, what the fuck, man? Like, thanks for the tip. No, no, no. They came back and they were like, hey, this is great. I'm getting a better entry point at this. I kind of did what you recommended. And now I'm actually grateful for it because I learned and I have an understanding and I'm not worried. I'm not scared. I'm not panic. I'm prepared. And that's that's like that's what you want. That's where you got to try to get. And so I find myself always talking people out of taking massive swings, including on the proof of workforce level, right. In talking with unions that sometimes want to take these massive swings. Same message for them. Let's talk proof of workforce. What is this? We're pumped about it. You've been kind enough to have us sit on the board and pretended to help you. You've done all of the head of the lifting. What what what are you up to? What's the vision? Mike's yours. Yeah. So thank you, guys. This is very cool. This is you guys know that I had a long union career and Josh and I did union stuff, too. Ten years on the union. I've been in Bitcoin since twenty seventeen. I get off like a lost puppy that used to do 40 to 60 hours for the union. What am I going to do? The wife's making fun of me, says I'm like a penguin with a briefcase, always running around like, yeah, you know, looking for stuff to do. These two worlds collide. Some crazy stuff happens with some rescues last Pacific Bitcoin, which, you know, we all know that story. I find myself on the mission to bring Bitcoin to workers and unions. And as I learn more about Bitcoin, I realize for many of the reasons we talked about, workers need to find Bitcoin for many, many reasons. So proof of work for us is a nonprofit. It's the it's the pinnacle of that effort now is a formal organization, a 501 C for. And its mission is very simple to bring long term Bitcoin adoption and sustainable education, education based adoption to workers, unions and organizations. Hard stop. That's it. Using the tools we've had, the lessons we've had to get workers to kind of get to learn about this. And if they want to invest to do it responsibly and slowly, because we know that even with all the cool stuff with the spot ETF and we're on this verge of institutional asset adoption, we know there will be another high and there will be another dip. And only by understanding Bitcoin and what it means for 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 years for understanding what it means to have productive property, only by doing that, can you weather that storm? Otherwise, you're just a guy or a gal with a scratcher ticket hoping to get lucky. So our goal at Proof of Workforce is to introduce the worker to Bitcoin and not have it be something that you get lucky or not, something that you learn and understand and and can look back in 10 to 20 years and go, oh, Proof of Workforce helped me see this thing and learn about it before it arrived. And for that, I'm I'm happy. And and it's all no cost. It's free, 100 percent free. Dom, here's what's badass about what you're doing, and it ties together a fair amount of what we've spoken about so far. We've established Bitcoin's not inevitable, but man, does it feel like it's march in one direction and it has access and design that allow, as we said off the top, wage earners, average folks to stack this thing in its most pristine form early when it could really change their net worth and their future and their family's future in a dramatic way. And you're asking the question when as you're standing this up, if Bitcoin is on this march forward, who's going to benefit from this thing going up? We don't want the answer to only be the well-connected, powerful and wealthy. No knock on those folks, not against them. I hope institutions and hedge funds and and all they do great. And a lot of that's tied to our pensions so that there are incentives there. But your vision is to to start incepting this Bitcoin idea to plant the seeds so the trees can grow so that more and more average folks can benefit from a technology that has the potential to be remarkable. And that is just this is what you're up to. That is just a ground game. That is just a ground game. You need soldiers to get out there and get this snowball rolling. It's not going to happen on its own. And and what you mentioned about basically telling people not to overrisk it as well, like sell this to people, because I think it's paramount that they do know, but also do it with some moderation. And you don't want to be, as I know you do and will, you're not telling anyone to go one hundred percent in Bitcoin with their treasury. This is just an educational this is an introduction. This is get yourself that one percent, get yourself educated and then move with forethought and foresight and move those chess pieces in a way that's going to protect you, not overcome, not put you in a position of weakness. Yeah, you got to learn how Bitcoin is going to serve your mission. Otherwise, it's just you're still in the lottery game. I mean, you guys mentioned when have we seen I mean, right now, BlackRock, Fidelity, they are are chomping at the bit to get the SEC to approve an ETF so they can bring massive institutions access to this asset. And right now you can log on to an app and buy it right now. When has that happened? I don't know. I don't have a huge financial ask. We'll have to ask Lynn Alden. Maybe it happened with gold or something, even though there was barriers to that. When has that happened where a worker that's working UPS or dropping off the mail or or working in a factory can literally log on and get something that Larry Fink is yelling against right now. You better approve this thing ASAP before the next halving or I'm going I'm going to go nuts in this place. When has that happened? I don't know. So, yeah, it's a ground game and just trying to get people to kind of see that not I don't think that we have to rush to get people to dive in beyond their means, because even if they win, that ends up in failure because. Let's just say it goes to one hundred thousand and and, you know, I'm just I'm just using an arbitrary number here, the spot ETF, we know that there's going to be some that happens that brings it back to earth. And the only way to survive coming back to earth is if you understand the fundamentals of the protocol and you have a mission to where it serves you for the long run. So even if a union, let's say we're working with misses out on the ETF and they go, I missed it, Dom. It hit one hundred thousand. Guess what? It's not too late to learn about it, take slow steps into it. There'll be more price fluctuations, but you're still thinking short term because we're looking 10, 20, 30 years out when, you know, you're driving the UPS truck and they come knocking on your door going, hey, man, thanks for everything. I know you just got hired here, but like, dude, we just got the automated trucks and like we're laying off some folks and you go, well, now what? I get another job, but but it'd be nice if you were stacking something that's going to be a foundational part of the future and you have ownership in that. Right. We're back to freedom and independence. Yeah. And we've used the firefighting analogy before of force indoors. Basically what you're doing right now with your union, you've gone other places. You want to Sacramento, right? At least kind of pitch some stuff. Sacramento is where you went, correct? I went to D.C. with the Bitcoin Today Coalition before I started my nonprofit. I've done some stuff in Sacramento. I'm going with some legislator's tale, Salvador. I'm like, I'm like crap. I'm everywhere. You know what I mean? That's what I try to do for the nonprofit, especially on ambulance calls. But you're like you're like that. We had a threat a while ago. We were going back and forth on of basically you're like the wedge or the ads in the door. You're getting that leverage right now, even with your union. I'm sure not everybody's super stoked about it, but you got that small allocation. And when that number starts to go up and this thing starts to move out, that is going your Johnny Appleseed dropping seeds. Trees are going to start to grow. Guys are going to get more interested as this thing proves itself over time that that's like one of the beauties of finance in general. But Bitcoin most specifically, it's going to expose who's right and who's wrong. And when you're telling someone to take a proper sized allocation, it's not doomsday if the thing doesn't play out. But you're going to if we just take your union as an example, they're going to get more exposure to how this thing progresses, because there's at least even a small amount of skin in the game for guys within their union that know nothing about Bitcoin. And I think that that approach you're taking of even if even if a union doesn't take a position, the fact that you go to a meeting and talk to a bunch of firefighters about this, if this thing's pumping past 100K in 2027, they're going to be like, remember that asshole from down in Santa Monica kind of had a disgusting chick stash, thought he was cool. That dude is they're going to start calling you. You know what I mean? And that's part of the game here. You're going to get to enjoy that window of everyone thinks you're a genius until it falls off the other end again. It's a really enjoyable short period of time. Well, then we'll be able to start getting education. You know, we haven't even talked about on here. We focus a lot on the asset, but there's a whole nother world that is opened by getting involved in Bitcoin. That's not even on the asset side. Right. And that's the network, the protocol, how the payment rails and the community. And there's also a tremendous amount of value that where even if there's unions that didn't want to, oh, we we didn't get involved and didn't buy in, but we did things like got involved in the community. We ran a node, we started educating ourselves. And now we have these amazing people. You know, I believe the people part of Bitcoin is one of its strongest assets as well, and that is a non dollar item that you get when you buy into this protocol. And I'm also trying to educate unions on that because there's all kinds of different things we have to deal with and challenges. And that's an incredible, bomb proof community to have on your side. I mean, imagine some of the people we know that that we talk to and you guys have on your show all the time, if you're in it and you needed their help or other things like these are very talented, incredibly smart people. And so there's value to that. That that is very clear. Dom, how can people help and support and get behind proof of workforce? So the biggest challenge with any nonprofit, as you guys know, is fundraising. I basically stood up this nonprofit. It's always hard to ask people for their hard earned money because you're like, oh, we're trying to help people find Bitcoin by taking your money that you, you know, work your your ass off to get. So I haven't started fundraising, but awareness. I want to show proof of concept, which we've done already. We've already, you know, talking to multiple unions, the Chamber of Commerce and SM started a Bitcoin only committee where they're looking at building Bitcoin within the business community. Huge, but making awareness, getting involved, getting on the social media, supporting us and and finding what I would say, like bigger players in the Bitcoin space to support us with contributions. You know, some of your big businesses, we need their support. I understand plebs not wanting to part with their sats and I would never ask that. But for people that are on the forefront of Bitcoin adoption, I believe our mission is pivotal to kind of getting Bitcoin out to what I consider to be the backbone of the country and the planet, which is workers. So just getting us to make that mission known, find support, give us leads, bring use our services. I mean, I'll go to I'll go to any place on the planet. I'm not even joking. Like if you want to bring Bitcoin to your workplace or your union, I'll go to anywhere, dude. I'll go to India. I'll go to Africa. I'll go to Australia. I'll go to Antarctica, dude. If there's a union in Antarctica, I'll go freeze my ass off up there. You'll get swaps, dude. You got, Antarctica, Bitcoin swaps at the fire. Yeah. But we need support. The number one way you can do it is supporting us, helping us get people on the mission and helping us kind of talk to unions, pensions, workers, other organizations. That's it. You know, I want this to be something that everyone kind of owns. That's why it's a nonprofit. It's not like my company. It's our thing to bring Bitcoin to the workers.It's bad ass. And this goes without saying, we've said this on and off the mic, but it's a, it's a pleasure and a privilege to have another firefighter going in the same direction in the same boat, man. I'm saving a, we, we, this is a teaser for the folks out there because there's some nuggets, including I have the ultimate reason, you know, we always ask why firefighters are into Bitcoin. Like, like why do firefighters, why do firefighters gravitate? I have the, the, the, like, I have some philosophical, just nasty curve ball junk dudes for our talk on Friday that has never been debuted, but I think you guys will listen to it and go, damn dude. This guy finally came up with an actual, uh, um, thought of value. Zingers zingers are coming. Thanks for joining us, man. Um, hopefully we see some of you out in, uh, out in LA. I have the coffee shits coming right now. I got to pee like a rhinoceros. Um, I think this is going to be loose too. I think this might be kind of coffee diarrhea. Thank you. Uh, so we need to, we need to wrap this thing up, dude. Yeah. Dom, we appreciate you, man. We will see you in, uh, two days, my friend. I'll make sure I have, make sure Joe. Yep. Sweeping up after us. See you, Dom. See you there. Yeah, wait, dude. As always, thanks for joining us. We hope you enjoyed listening as much as we enjoyed slinging it.

"Hello friends, plasma wave at the military station in Antarctica, recently scientists from the Indian Institute of Geomagnetism, Mumbai identified electromagnetic ion cyclotron EMIC waves, a type of plasma wave at the military station in Antarctica and conducted a study on their characteristics. The study analyzed data collected between 2011 and 2017 by the induction cone magnitude meter at the Indian Antarctica station metering. The study aimed to investigate the modulation characteristics of EMIC waves using large data and to present a statistical scenario of EMIC wave modulation at the ground station metering. Plasma, the fourth state of matter, makes up more than 99% of the visible universe. Plasma can be found in the Indian atmosphere, magnetosphere and upper atmosphere. Plasma waves provide valuable information about inaccessible regions, mass and energy transport, interaction with charged particles and overall dynamics of Earth's magnetosphere. One such wave is the electromagnetic ion cyclotron EMIC that resonates with electrons with a wide energy range causing them to precipitate to the high latitude atmosphere. The study found that the salt period modulation of such wave events is common and dependent on EMIC wave frequency. Also, the salt period decreases with an increase in the peak frequency of the EMIC wave and stronger EMIC wave events were likely to have a higher peak frequency. EMIC waves play a crucial role in the precipitation of polar electrons that can be results can help understand the impact of energetic particles in the radiation belts on low orbiting satellites. The study findings are important to improve our understanding of EMIC wave modulation and how they interact with energetic particles potentially damaging satellites and their communication.

Another New Species (MM #4529)
"The Mason Minute with Kevin Mason. In recent years, we've heard of scientists discovering ancient species. They're no longer with us. Some form of, we thought, homo sapien that isn't really a homo sapien, and they're not quite sure what it is. It was almost the next step between homo sapien and neanderthal, or I guess technically that would be neanderthal and homo sapien. They're still working on that in China. But now we found another new species in the deep seas of Antarctica. Thousands of feet in the icy, frozen, cold waters. It's called a strawberry feather star. And it's a distant, very distant relative to the starfish, except it has 20 tentacles. The reason they call it the strawberry feather star is because the base, the head, the body looks kind of like a strawberry. Now, they're talking about this big, giant creature that's only eight inches from end to end. It's hard to believe we're finding new species still to this day. Now, I realize we're able to explore areas we've never been able to explore before, but thinking of all the years we've been looking for new creatures, and we continue to find them. Not a lot, but every now and again, a new creature is found. It's amazing we're still finding new ones, and I just don't know how we do it.

Andrew Tate Motivational Speech
A highlight from GO THROUGH PAIN - Andrew Tate Motivational Speech
"I think the universe is absolutely and utterly giving. I've never seen anybody dedicate themselves to something completely and fail. I've never seen somebody eat right, go to the gym every day, train really hard, and not be in good shape. I've literally never seen it. The universe is extremely giving. If you actually try, and you actually want it, and you're actually not making excuses, lying, talking shit, you're going to get what you want. So when I see people who don't have what they want, I consider them losers. And this may be elitist. I understand that. But if I put myself through endless pain to end up where I am, it's very hard for me to have sympathy on the man who's afraid of pain. You're avoiding pain. I've been through endless. I now have everything I've ever desired. You have none of the things you desire. Am I supposed to feel sorry for you because you took the easy way out? Am I supposed to look at you and go, oh, poor dude? No, you were a coward. You didn't go through the shit I went through. You didn't put it on the line. So you deserve your substandard reality. That's what you deserve. You're a loser. Because if you actually wanted it and you actually tried, you'd have it. You could have anything you want. Universe is super giving. You want a fucking Ferrari? You can have it. You want that bitch? You can have her. You can have anything you want on the planet. There's not a girl I look at that I want that I can't have. Not one. That's my reality. There's not a car I can't have. There's not a house I can't buy. I want to go to a yacht. I want to go to Antarctica. There's nothing I can't have. Because I've decided to become this man. It's the same for absolutely every single one of you at home. If you want it, you can have it. If you're sitting there saying, oh, but I tried my best and I still didn't get it. You're lying. You didn't try your best. That is a fucking lie. The universe gives it to everybody who genuinely tries. And I know that to be a fact because this world's competitive. We're all competing against each other. And the majority of people don't try. Like, I've achieved this amazing life and I've tried very, very hard. But it could have been harder.

Newly Discovered Asteroid Passes Close to Earth
"Asteroid is passing as close as 2200 miles above earth, our past, it passed last night. 2200 miles above the earth's surface in a size of a delivery truck. It is. And now they're saying if it had got any closer it'd burn up and you'd have some small meteorites that kind of thing. Sure. This is somewhere at 11. As it goes and it's looking to say, but yo, I've been watching and listening and I think you and I got into this the other day about the fact that the city of Atlanta's last Friday we discussed city Atlantis may be in the actually the Sahara Desert. But we talked about these craters that we see on the earth. You know, there's these deep craters Antarctica has one. There's one in the Indian Ocean. You know, you see them in some of the desert, you say it out west. Okay, here's your question. Did you know that most geologists I think this is the way and if I'm wrong here folks, I know you can't incorrectly. But it's a massive black fault volcanic area around yellow. I mean, like thousands of miles kind of thing around Yellowstone. Have you ever heard of that? I've never heard of that, but that doesn't surprise me in any way whatsoever. I don't think I guess the way I see it is nothing surprises me about what they say about the earth prior to us being here. Right. Like they always, you know, they say like what this part of the country was connected to this part of the South America was attached to this part of whatever I believe all of it. Because I know nothing.

And he had this really cool hologram machine set up in his frigging workshop. Stuff like that out. See really cool stuff regularly. These corporations Yeah you know there's stuff going on both corporately and in the people's homes there was They had it was set up. I was there when they were building. It and i was there when they were done with it. I was still there plummer I'll just say that this family owned one of the big lock companies in the us. You know because okay. That's what you can do you own something that in perpetuity just gives you money you know so they had a really cool house the invested in cool things and i remember they set it up when you walked in the front door The way that the house was set up there was like the main atrium. But you can you can break to the left or break to the right and then there was like art on the wall and stuff like that but they had it set up they cut all this stuff into the wall and made it look like a picture but it was it was a hologram so it was like a haunted house disney type thing so when you walked by the picture kept turning his head and looking at you when you went by and it looks totally real. So it's really freaking creepy. That is very awesome. Time machine like i'm hoping you encountered but it still makes me wonder if these people have these devices in their homes and there's connection and long island to all this advanced technology potentially i mean what what's going on in some of the basements.

I just put up a video or youtube with them. An article about the new science at brookhaven. And you'll see in the articles that they refer to a piece of equipment at brookhaven has the light source. So they say that they're manifesting matter and antimatter out of thin air By utilizing light beams in a vacuum will guess what they have a light source.

We were like a runner on humans of new york and her next big goal is that world marathon challenge any advice for her she signed. She's doing it like she has signed up. she's good. She's doing it next year if she's listening to this any advice for her well for me. It's like anything else before you can make a commitment like that. You have to earn the right to do it than what you can't do it on a buyer room that it's it's gonna come back to bite you so you have to do the work and i knew i could do the work. I been there before in terms of running that many miles consecutively day to day to day to day when i was wanted to fifty miles every single day for almost eighty consecutive days. So what's the big deal running twenty six miles for seven days in a row but the big deal is the fact attorney seven continents and so for me. It was more about not as much the training. 'cause that was a given but it was about the rat race in between and it was about sleep deprivation. It was about nutrition while flying was about recovery at thirty five thousand feet no sitting in a seat for twelve hours you know and then get often go run another marathon so trying to figure that all out it was about the weather. Temperatures in climates that we were in antarctica and it was whatever ten degrees and then back plane six hours later. You're in south. Africa running at eighty five degrees and your body's calling. Yeah not a lot of time to acclimate gave. You gotta figure that all out in advance. i mean i think anyone who serious about it does the training. I mean the running. I don't mean to be little it. It wasn't easy. I'm not saying disease but it was probably the less challenge in part of the overall experience for me was the running. When i was running. I was like thank god. I'm running like dumb. Does fly in done with this craziness. get employed. We get my luggage and all that stuff on buses and everything. I'm out here in the moment. Doing what i loved to do in impediment was like that was the calm. That was almost the easy pot. The running

"Look ships guard. I signed up to be on the ship. Ships gone so therefore. I don't need to take your words is anymore and shackleton again. Hi kylie -ticipant. But there might be a risk of this guy she. He would need men off about a dumping anticipated sinking. But if you're unsure attached to the the nannu on the on the ship and so written this clause in the contract and they publicly read out to everyone that they were still under his orders. Work orders they would. They would be paid because a lot in the dyers about all the brief moments wherever saying we paid for this. I mean people are worried about. I think about that. Even that we buy marketing. Get back i could feel a little about shackled out and publicly rebukes and then privately visit him suggestions privately pulled him aside and threatened to shoot him if he wants action and chipping ever crossed him again after suspect bits of truth in that but it was an amazing opportunity to be on this a gain. And the diary's entries. Afterwards and and the books all sing praises about how amazing was as a carpenter but but shackleton never forgave him. Any time actually says i can never forgive him for what he did. He saw it as his big one of his biggest. The biggest wrecked and at the end. Most of the men were given what we called medal for their survival and cheap in spite of all the done didn't get the antarctic medal. That was one that just didn't get a shackleton's a real risk. Wow interesting. I didn't know that that's super interesting. Can we also talk about the drake's passage. I've in a tour tour kind of ship but nothing that can compare to what i'm sure you and obviously what they've been through We we went through like a category ten storm. It was Sixty mph winds and thirty thirty foot waves and it was pretty. It was pretty scary. So yeah i'm curious to hear your take on this on the drake's passage scared about shorter few years. That was enough for me very basis. Fantastical sailors citing by below forty degrees as noah below. Fifty degrees. there is. No god is operatives. Because it's wild. I mean it's fees. it's it's weather. The westerly winds us was sent. These powerful winds are blowing around antarctica almost continuously and viewers if you call it a furious fifties and it's basically because the the continent surrounded by ocean almost no land tool to stop the the winds picking up speed and momentum and so as it was about forty percent faster stronger than they are in their equivalents in the northern hemisphere really powerful. But there's one point at which for land pinches in the so called drake passages. It's between South american antarctic peninsula over the finger coming up from the antarctic and and they're the oceans are really hemmed and the wings. Turn what what might what might be a wild ocean something that the ten pest almost all the time it it just you just don't know what you're gonna find. But of course shackleton's they get to elephant island sixty miles from whether break off his backwards and forwards dehydrated near frozen. They've also they've had favor killer whales chasing after them a loose sight and contact one another. We finally get onto this island. Which is i mean. I think it was like one hundred years. Before since anyone that ever attempted to land with no natural landing places and shackleton just realizing says no charts anyone's gonna find them there on the edge of the known world. They know vet. Some whalers and sealers are being frugal. But they're not gonna go through has no base or anything be anywhere anyway. We're going to get help and survive is if a ship is brought to them specifically as Shackleton makes that decision. Yes again a small boca james cared and and sailed to south georgia across drake passage. But the problem is into the winds. You're not gonna get across. There is just no chance on a small boat and so shackleton makes a decision that actually south georgia where they left from fifteen months ago is the best chance as i. Eight hundred politics and so they've added another hundred miles and they going into twenty two foot boat which is yeah. I mean that sounds made of wood. Like i can't even imagine i mean twenty two feet made of wood and you know all these waves and everything they could experience men packed in from end to end and there were six of them on there. For how many days. Yeah sixty days and the gauge concealed. It up at fabric to cover over victims six of them in the end for free off and they had to sleep in their had to bail. Water and chip off is and and and of course a cave thing here cast. This is just amazing. When you think about it is tiny dot at the end of the peninsula. They're going to another tiny dot in the south atlantic. Eight hundred miles away and if they miss it they go. No one will ever know what happened to the place. Expeditions where people don that we're just disappeared and of course it's this wild windiest ocean the world. You it. it's cloudy most of the time. Because you've got is amazing. Low pressure since coming through and he still manages to navigate them to the south georgia foodies. Storms wave sniffing up as extraordinaire out of seamanship to save them and meanwhile they're being buffeted by winds will add this. This amazing met huge. Wave nearly destroys them. And it's just incredible but they actually mentioned as an amazing janet raw chris. I want to know more about your story and your journey to end arctic. What inspired you to want to go to the continent. And what was the mission. While i've been lucky. I've been done to be taught about seven times kassian and scientists so fortunate my in my job is just amazing to be able to privilege to be dad there. What we're trying to do is actually better handle of of of where the planet is heading. Antarctica is a huge player in the global climate system. One of the big questions has to be about how it will respond to future. Climate change world is warming renova more carbon atmosphere warming a planet but there are feedbacks in the system where what's warming changes can be amplified massively. So you don't need change antarctic much massive feedback and sunday. You could be dealing with matt. Huge of global sea level is plus effective but impact hasn't the climate the amazing wildlife dan. They're you know when we talk about the historic record many antarctica. It's only a few decades facet as absolutely it and yet were were going off the scale of anything humanities ever experienced before savvy. I mean shackleton's expeditions. Actually some of the really key data sets because they were down ever so long they actually give us a window into the climate and conditions were logged down and you have to you have to actually go to those other locations to actually get the data you need and extend that observational records so that you can actually get inside to was happening down there and what might happen in the future and Several years ago we did take an expedition down the privately. Funded one to actually explain what was happening off. East antarctica fervor round south of australia to actually explore. What obama was doing it was privately funded but were we were down there.

"I don't wanna say it's become gimmicky but people are trying to find ways to do it. That's never been done before. But the the thing to understand is even though they say it's unsupported. It's still supported in a way. Because now there's gps coordinates checkpoints along the way there's caches of food caches stashed for you because planes will come in plus. You always have a rescue if needed so. The true sense of unsupported is not necessarily in the raw expedition. Sh- inside of it. You're not alone. You have radio communication you have. Gps you have emergency evac so but people are still trying to find ways that haven't been done before they're the i do it that way. Exactly let me ask you about climate change. Do you have any comment about we. We read about the ice shelves and the warming. Temperatures up to sixty five degrees. You said seventy something one day when you were there and what do you feel going on right. Now it's horrible because you know of i. Eleven years going down there. I see the shift. You're seeing more and more rock exposed. Now you're seeing more and more greenery more liking more grasses more algae's growing they're having algae balloons now known only in the water but also on land the snow. Algae that you see you're also the wildlife you're saying more and more of the penguins having go further south their normal rookeries being encroached upon by other species of penguins. Now the adelie so to speak are getting pushed out. Who are your one year round. Inhabitants is now getting pushed. So the wildlife itself is being affected adversely plus. It's raining more in antarctica rather than snowing in antarctica. The winds the warm winds that come from south america. Now and this is what's creating the melts of the i. Shells in the is is. You're getting the warm winds over western in article the peninsula so it's melting on the top that the seawater is also rising fastest rising sea water temperature so this shells are being melted from the ocean as well..

"It's not the arctic so it's the ant arctic right right but we would have been calling it. Ultima like a cigarette ultimate. Tell us about about the life that you found in antarctica. Well you know. That's a great question. Because most of the wildlife migratory to come down to an arca for their summer in their down there to feed on krill there only very few species of wildlife that are actually year round inhabitants of Article on only one penguin species. So if you know. I think what you wanna. Cnn artika depends on when you go to antarctica so in regards to the wildlife if you want to see penguins you know the babies the penguins sitting on their eggs and the baby's hatching or you may want the emperor penguins. Then you wanna go early in the season november or very early december to mid december is when you're gonna see the penguins courting sitting on their nasty eggs the eggs hatching 'cause the babies will grow very very quickly. If you wanna see wales if wales are your choice of wildlife you wanna see. Then as they're coming down to feed on the krill and usually around christmas time to early february is the best time for your whale spotting. That's one they're all down there. They're all feeding. They're younger down there. The orcas are down there hunting as well as everyone. All the wildlife's down there christmas too early february then come early. February mid february the whales are start congregating to then head back north so the later in the season amid february early munch march. You're not gonna you'll still see some whales but you're not concede much same with the penguins at that point. The young have gotten their waterproof others. And they're already starting their migration as well. So you won't see as much in that time period you'll see some but the weather is also less stable come mid february on as well so it's hit or miss with the weather in what you'll see that timeframe so between the seals sales will be there november especially if you wanna see seal pops and you wanna see the first. He'll pups being born our. You wanna see the elephants seals according the beach masters the massive. You know six ton. Elephants seals in november december. The best time because after they're done courting and impregnating than the beach masters will leave come early december but then you have the wieners which are so cute. The baby elephants seals Because then the mothers of laughed at that point and they've leaned the babies but they call him wieners because they weaned but they don't know to go to see yet to go hunting so they're just on the beach floundering. What do i do what i do until they get hungry enough. That's when the leave for c. So they're curious to the humans you know and one thing which is magnificent about antarctica if wildlife. You wanna see then you need to go. Because it's the largest wildlife refuge in the world so you can't hunt in artika so there's no fear of humans it's curiosity so you'll have the penguins the seals come up to you just curious of you..

"Antarctica was part of the supercontinent called gondwana and it was not always colder drier covered in ice. It was farther north. And from what. I read it was tropical or temperate climate for a while and it was even covered in forest. Do you know about that. They found many false surpluses bay phones of tree fossils down there. If you go down into the widow elsie side. It's very fossil rich on in that area and That's where they've made many discoveries in. That's where actually when they discovered these fossils realizing at that time the connection to south america in that it was a tropical area before the congress split. Yeah that's amazing Gondwana gradually broke apart and That was about twenty five million years ago and the drake passage opened up between it and south america. that's where the atlantic and the pacific come together and it's considered the most difficult waters in all the oceans. People who make the passage are called. Horner's proudly have a certificate. What's what was your rough passage there. Did you have some some bad ones moon. I've had some good. You know drake shakes and some good drake lakes. That was up. I've been in where we've had over five meters swells The drake so it was quite entertaining and Especially on some of the shifts. Because i've been on many different ships At the time and many you're older expedition ships are were not originally expedition ships. Some were car ferries. Some were rushing taint ferries converted. So they're the stabilizations not quite there. versus likes eclipse was made for the drake's super stable. But it's yeah it's definitely entertaining action. What but many guests you know there is a great fear of the drake and so they've created these what they call her fly in cruises. Now we're actually from poor drainage in chile. You can fly to king george island south shetland islands and then pick up the ship there and avoid the drink but to be honest with you the the fear it it should be fear you.

So you have those options and opportunities to really explore on cnn. Artika in some of your expedition ships will also have kayaking paddle boarding other ways to explore antarctica from the silence on the water itself. And then to your Ultra luxury such as onboard scenic eclipse where we have two helicopters so you can explore from above and i can't tell you getting that perspective that bird's eye perspective in article because it is highest most mountainous continent in the world so seeing it from above or we also have a submarine and see it from belie in see what's down there.

Also some of the companies where you can camp though you'll spend the night out on the ice itself so you have. That opportunity are to camp and one thing to just put out. There is depending on your budget to go to. Antarctica would really determine what type of ship you would wanna go on some ships if you're on a shoestring budget that you wanna get down there. That's great but you then have to pay for those atoms of kayaking camping on the ship. Amenities you pay extra four. Where as you kinda go up the ladder so to speak into the ultra luxury sada things or the luxury side. More of those options are so. It's hard of your package.

Had been in the outdoor industry now for about thirty eight years and Both domestically in the united states as well as internationally and i've also been involved in wilderness an international search and rescue for thirty thirty.

Also in high altitude mountaineering in cold climates and. I said sure when when they said. Can you leave four days to allow and so that was that was it and to be honest with you ever since i've been going back every year every season found a way and that It's so addictive. And and it's so magical to see it through the eyes of other people in the guests that we bring down there. And that's why i keep going back that's wonderful. Would you tell us what's a typical expedition on a ship. I mean there are different levels as budget to luxury. Can you give some idea that will i. You're going down to an article on an expedition ship. And the reason why you wanna go on an expedition ship and not a cruise ship. Expedition ships are limited to no more than two hundred guests or passengers at a time. The reason why antarctica is managed by auto which is the international in arctic association and they limit shore landings to no more than a hundred people at a time and that's to protect the wildlife and so in expedition ship. That has two hundred people. You do a rotation hundred people. On shore while there's a hundred people.

Now he's on an ancient tugboat lent him by the government of chile in exchange. He had to promise not to take her through the ice a promise. He wasn't sure he could keep them.

"It's january. Eighteenth two thousand nine just afternoon. It's the final leg of the trip for henry and his teammates just five miles to reach the south pole. He's excited but there's a sadness beneath at two. It means soon. They'll be headed back to the noise and hassles of the real world. The first dose of reality comes when the silence of nature is broken. It's a ski doo. They're still one mile away but it sets his nerves on edge and then low lying buildings break the pristine expanse of ice and snow. He spent two months in the cold and silent ice listening only to the sound of his breath and now the roar of machines fills the air and the dry air faint smell of fried food and garbage floats across as he gets closer. He sees a stack of discarded. Cardboard boxes scrawled across the tops in permanent marker or the words washing machines all the time. He's been out here. Searching his soul. The rest of the world has been doing laundry. He skis past small line of artificial christmas trees. How odd to see fake nature in real nature beyond a large grey building on concrete pillars rising above the snow service is the amundsen scott. South pole station used for scientific research in the distance. A satellite dish points up into space. Henry stops and waits for adams gal to catch up. Gotta say it's not exactly how i imagined it. Both of them taken their first glimpse of civilization and then a truck appears puttering through the snow. Howdy where have you guys come from. The driver is the first person outside of their expedition that they've spoken to in sixty six days. We've come from cape royds. We set off in november. Henry can hear the pride in his voice Yes the shackleton crew. We've been waiting for you. The poll marker is around that building pop inside. If you want we've got some coffee and biscuits welcome back when the truck drives away. Henry looks at his teammates. They shake their heads. They can't accept the hospitality just yet. They're aiming to achieve one of the longest unassisted polar expeditions in the front of the main building. They find a steel rod with a small brass ball marking the southern access of the earth. They've reached the south pole. It's around this very point that the whole planet spins he places his hand on top hoping to feel something but nothing can compare with what he went through with dylan adams on this beautiful continent. It's four thirty two pm. January eighteenth two thousand nine. The second cruel rive the next day but this is the end of henry's journey. The dream has been fulfilled a dream that began at the age of eleven when he saw photos of the endurance in a book about shackleton followed by the magical discovery he was related to the ship's captain. Frank worsley ever since then. He's longed to follow his hero's footsteps and now that mission is complete he reaches into his pocket and pulls out shackleton's compass the one. He's kept close to his chest since the journey began. It helped him through the darkest days of the track and inspired him to keep going. He opens the lead. And the needle is spinning. It's like the compass knows it's finally made it to the spot. Henry knows one day. He'll come back to this beautiful continent. Antarctica is now deep in his soul just like it was an shackleton's it's august thirtieth nineteen sixteen and frank wild is inside the makeshift hot on elephant island slurping bowl of seal meat stew seated on bunks and the floor around him twenty men who started the endurance expedition just over two years ago. Only two men are not here george marston. The artist and frank hurley. The photographer hurley's out shelling limpets. Marcin went up on the cliffs to make some sketches. It's been four months and six days since shackleton or xlii and the other four crew members left elephant island and left wild in charge. It's hard to keep people's hopes up the longer days. Go on most of the men. Now speak their fears allowed that shirley shackleton never made it. The new plan is to use the boats to make an attempt to sail to a nearby island in october when the weather clears. No one is excited about the prospect their all week and malnourished while does not even sure the strongest of them will make it but if they stay here none of them will live wild turns head at the gust of wind that blows into the hot. It's marcin he's out of breath wild. There's a ship. Shall we light a fire. There's a moment of stunned silence. And then it dawns on everyone at once. Shackleton made it through. Someone is coming for them. The men rush out to see for themselves. Some don't even bother to put on their shoes. When wild gets to the shore he watches. The boat comes closer and closer bobbing across the waves. It's about a mile away. Wild sturdy figures standing on the bow wrapped in the thick coat. It's.

He knew the eight hundred mile. Crossing to south georgia. Island would be dangerous. But he's never seen anything as fierce as the drake passage.

One moment they're surrounded by hills of water the next there on top of the world overlooking an endless seascape of dark grey rollers and white horses. And then they're hurtling back down.

Endurance: Surviving Antarctica
"January night. Nineteen o nine. Ernest shackleton groans as he trudges through the hard packed snow now. A bitter headwind cuts through his jacket freezing his breath among his hands. The temperature is minus nineteen degrees pulled by any standards but with the wind chill. It's closer to minus fifty shackleton's feet and ears are covered with blisters and the black char frostbite. He's weakened by hunger and head splitting altitude sickness. He and his crew have trekked over seven hundred miles south across the vast expanse of antarctic snow their goal is to reach beyond engine the known world and be the first humans to ever reach the south pole. An expedition the public had been calling the nimrod after the name of his ship. Their journey has taken almost two and half months still before them an endless white plateau of snow and ice. The poll is out there somewhere. Shackleton has been on this continent once before six years ago. It was his first antarctic expedition under the leadership of captain robert. Scott scott was brooding and temperamental. he ruled by bullying. An absolute authority. Shackleton was the opposite. he was optimistic. Open and warm as conditions grew more difficult on that eight month journey tension was deck when frost by and low rash slowed them to a crawl. Scott yelled keep going you bloody fools but they turn back from the poll. Nearly five hundred miles out by the time shackleton got back to the ship. He was coughing up blood now. He has another shot this time. His leading a four man through and he isn't going to make scott's mistakes. The last month has been slow going. He looks at his men's haggard faces for weeks now. They've had little to eat

Alok Sharma: Time Running out to Stop Climate Change Catastrophe
"World is dangerously close to running out of time to stop climate change catastrophe. That's the warning from Alec Sharma, the UK government's climate chief, who is leading the cop 26 summit to be held in the Scottish city of Glasgow later this year. In an interview with The Observer newspaper today, Mr Sharma said, the effects of radical climate change We're already clear with floods, fires, heat waves He said A report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change due to be published tomorrow would be the starkest warning yet about what the future might hold. Well, let's You know, from Professor Andrew Shepherd, who's a glaciologist at the University of Leeds here in the UK, Um could you first professor please explain what the remit of this PC report is and what you think it might say. So I think everyone's familiar with these reports. Now we've had them for the past 30 years. Um, what this report is going to tell us is the latest changes in the Earth's climate We expect But it's also going to say that we've changed parts of our climate system for good actually, and that's surreal. Wake up call. We're going to have to live in a different environment in the future because we're not going to be able to reverse Some of the things that have happened. And we've seen so many stories recently, pointing to the possibility that some parts of the climate system are already passed. Tipping points. Oh what? What? Which are the ones that you're most concerned about? So there are quite a few. Actually, I think, um across climate science, maybe a dozen also have been identified. But there's some really obvious ones that people will have heard about retreat of the ice in the Arctic Ocean, for instance, and rapid melting and acceleration of glaciers in Antarctica and Greenland. And they might seem a long way away from people because they're at the polls. But as soon as I entered the ocean that affects sea levels,

Caller Concerned Over Safety With U.S. Crumbling Within
"Wanted to keep this with what you were talking about. But with all the distractions of CRT and black lives matter and Being politically correct here and the stuff that we talk about every day. Uh and more than concerned, I'm worried that the nefarious countries like China and Russia Perhaps North Korean Iran. Why wouldn't they make a move? They they have their pulse on the American people. I've talked about this, I think When you're when you're crumbling from within its very provocative You're absolutely right. They look for opportunities. Right. So in the end, why would they wait for 2024 election where a trump or Pompeii would get in there? For Well, they start to be careful. You know, we still have a very powerful military and nuclear weapons. And so rather than just confront us that way. They're doing other things like China right now is doing many other things that it's massively building up its military. It is it is building and ports and docks all over the world, including in our hemisphere, including in Africa and other parts of the world. It is slowly but surely making claim to islands in territorial waters that don't belong to it. It's making claims to airspace that doesn't belong to it. You have China and Russia now and Antarctica, making claims to that area and putting military bases building them there. You have killer satellites that can attack our grid. All of this is going on. As Joe Biden weakens the country from within, weakens the economy from within. I want to talk next hour very much about what's going on on the border here that there's not 11 million illegal aliens in this country. It's closer to 35 million. And now he wants to push amnesty. They want to push it through this omnibus spending bill. This is this has all the telltale signs. Of a American. Marxist type of approach to things

"Happens to icebergs icebergs will. Warm air will melt the snow ice forms. These little pools that we call melt ponds and that trickles through the iceberg in any cracks. That are there because remember we're just working with pellets at this point of crystallized snow for lack of a better description than that warmer water will start to widen any cracks within the iceberg at the same time water is lapping on the sides of the iceberg. Because it's sitting in the arctic sea because it sitting in some freezing ocean and both of those courses melting. The ice will cause a sheet of that iceberg to break off. This typically happens in small ish chunks but the ones that you are seeing videos of online of big chunks of iceberg breaking off and falling into the ocean are really interesting to look at from a climate change perspective. Because if it's a big chunk of ice sheet that's falling off. That means that the glacier is not all that deeply packed. There are more cracks within the glacier for this water this glacial melt to seep into and form wider and wider cracks. And then a big chunk of ice will fall off of the iceberg. I've been using the term glacier pretty strategically here but we also just use the word iceberg. I wanna make sure we're super clear on the difference between glaciers and icebergs. Glaciers are large sheets of ice. They can extend for miles and miles. Icebergs are smaller pieces of ice. That have broken off or caved from glaciers and they are now drifting within the ocean. The titanic hit an iceberg. It did not hit. a glacier. Glacier is a big old landmass the iceberg is poking out of the water and it is a giant chunk of ice that has broken off from that glacier now. This is going to be helpful information. Because i'm going to revisit. Something i said at the top of the episode. The arctic is warming faster than antarctica. That's because the arctic is an ocean. It consists mostly just of sea ice big glaciers. This is actually considered a desert. It is not a land mass. And that's why. The arctic is not considered a continent antarctica on the other hand is land covered in ice. Antarctica is continent. Antarctica has lost a lot of sea ice but again there is land underneath and scientists have seen. That ice is growing in other places off antarctica..

How to Photograph the Upcoming Lunar Eclipse
"Lunar eclipse. what is it. well most of us learned about this. I think in grade school right. It's when the earth moves between the sun and the moon and so there's a shadow and then this happens in phases doesn't happen all at once Although if you don't see it coming on you can look up and go. Whoa what happened there but generally speaking. We know it's coming. You know so there are these seven phases of the eclipse. All of them are interesting. The photographs but of course we want to hang out for the total eclipse. you get the money shot and then keep playing after that happens. Let's talk a little bit about you. Know what are some of the things that we need to know how about. Where can you see it out with that. So according to the article here the may twenty six two thousand twenty one. Total lunar eclipse will be visible in the united states. Canada central america south america antarctica new zealand australia japan china indonesia philippines malaysia taiwan and south korea so depending on where you are will be how much of the eclipse you can see is total eclipse all that kind of stuff. Now in terms of timing. I look this up. So for instance san francisco. The eclipse begins at four twelve. A m maximum eclipse is at four nineteen and then the total eclipse ends at four. Twenty six so you have a good fourteen minutes earlier to play around. And that's that's nice. It's nice having the time to get some shots to be ready to do some testing now. Of course the exposure changes drain all the different phases. They clip so you know we. We do have to do things while we're there
