Theories surrounding the Tartarian civilization suggest that they were skilled architects, creating impressive buildings with intricate details and ornate decorations, and had access to advanced technologies such as wireless energy and anti-gravity devices.
While there is no scientific evidence to support these claims, Tartaria continues to captivate scholars and researchers alike, but also the members of the general public.
In the video which delves deep into 6 purported facts about Tartatia, it is noted that theories suggest among other things that Tartarians were skilled architects who created impressive buildings with intricate details and ornate decorations, some of which were harmonious with the natural environment.
There are also theories that suggest that Tartarians had access to Advanced Technologies such as wireless energy and anti-gravity devices, which remain a mystery to modern architects.
However, all these claim need to be taken with a grain of salt as there is presently no reliable scientific evidence to support them. Likewise, the existence of a Tartarian civilization as such continues to be a subject of debate among scholars and the interested members of the public.
The Great Thermate Debate challenges the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s theory that molten metal pouring from the World Trade Center towers was mixed with partially burned solid organic materials and caused the yellow-red color.
Independent scientists suggest that some kind of thermite material could have been part of the towers and present direct video evidence, eyewitness accounts, forensic evidence, photographic evidence, and tangible evidence of temperatures high enough to melt steel.
The possibility of using thermate (Thermite + Sulfur) to weaken the large columns of the World Trade Center towers before the main event is discussed, and experiments are conducted to show that thermate can melt steel and cut vertical columns.
The video presenter – Physics Andreason – believes that it’s impossible for the official story on the collapse of the buildings to be true and advocates for using physical science instead of political science to investigate 9/11.
00:00:00
In this section, it is explained that the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s theory that molten metal pouring from the World Trade Center towers was mixed with hot partially burned solid organic materials like furniture and causing the yellow-red color was challenged by independent scientists.
The theory of NIST that office materials like furniture and computers, which are less dense than molten aluminum, would float on it, is also problematic.
Independent scientists suggested that some type of thermite material may have been part of the towers and found direct video evidence, eyewitness accounts, forensic evidence, photographic evidence, and tangible evidence of temperatures high enough to melt steel.
The discovery of explosive red/gray chips positively identified as nano-thermite or super-thermite confirms what the independent scientists had been saying all along.
Nonetheless, NIST refused to test for explosives or its residue and ignored standards such as NFPA 921 guidelines, leading to the attack of all evidence of thermite material found.
00:05:00
In this section of the video, the Great Thermate Debate is discussed, which questions whether thermite material can melt or cut steel, and take massive quantities to cause any real damage.
Engineers and independent researchers conduct experiments to determine if thermate could weaken a connection or wide flange beams, using small quantities of old-fashioned thermate, which is legal and readily available.
The experiments involved building a container that could hold the thermite long enough to melt the steel without melting itself, resulting in a successful sliced vertical cut.
The experiment suggests that thermate can melt steel and cut vertical columns, which raises questions about why incendiaries like thermate and not high explosives were used in 9/11.
00:10:00
In this section, Physics Andreason discusses the possibility of using thermate to weaken the large columns of the World Trade Center towers before the main event, but explains that it may take longer to achieve the desired effect, which would explain why we see molten steel several minutes before its final destruction.
Physics Andreason uses a small amount of thermate to demonstrate how it can be focused on a wide flange to reduce its thickness, and mentions the politically correct terms like pressure pulses and dust puffs used by NIST to possibly obfuscate any mention of explosions.
Overall, Physics Andreason believes that it’s impossible for the official story on the collapse of the buildings to be true and advocates for using physical science instead of political science to investigate 9/11.
Bitcoin is a digital currency that has gained widespread attention in recent years. Bitcoin is often referred to as a “cryptocurrency”, though there are other digital assets also referred to as cryptocurrencies.
Bitcoin was officially launched in 2009 by an obscure entity who called himself Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a wholly decentralized network, which means it is not and cannot be controlled by any central authority, including a government. Instead, it is maintained by a community of volunteers who work together to verify and process transactions.
At its core, Bitcoin is a digital file that contains information about transactions between buyers and sellers. These transactions are verified and recorded on a public ledger called the blockchain. The blockchain is essentially a decentralized database that allows anyone to view transactions in real-time, providing transparency and security to the system.
One of the unique features of Bitcoin is its limited supply. Unlike traditional currencies that can be printed at nauseum, Bitcoin is capped by design and there will only ever be 21 million Bitcoins in existence. This makes Bitcoin is a scarce asset and some argue, that the scarcity is what drives up and will continue to drive up the value of Bitcoin. In this respect, the HODLers like to use the phrase “To The Moon”.
To acquire Bitcoin, users can either buy it on a cryptocurrency exchange, or “mine” it through a process referred to as “proof-of-work”. Mining involves using computer processing power to solve mathematical equations that verify transactions on the blockchain. In return for this work, miners are rewarded with newly-minted (created) Bitcoin.
In recent years, Bitcoin has gained popularity as an investment option, but early adopters of the cryptocurrency have used it as means of payment. Some merchants and retailers adapted to the growing popularity and began to accept Bitcoin payments in their businesses.
Transactions with Bitcoin are not only faster and cheaper than traditional payment methods like credit cards, they are also non-discriminatory so anyone can use them to pay for things anywhere.
Security of Bitcoin transactions is safeguarded and verified by the decentralized network, making it nearly impossible to hack or counterfeit. This made it possible for people oppressed by tyrannical regimes to transact with other parties.
Bitcoin has also faced criticism for its environmental impact. While it is true that the mining process requires some amount of electricity, the allegation that these have significant impact on the environment have been vastly debunked and the criticism exposed for being manufactured.
To sum Bitcoin up: Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency. It operates on a public ledger called the blockchain outside of a single point of failure. Because there will ever only be no more than 21 Million Bitcoins ever mined, the cryptocurrency is an attractive investment option, which at the same time offers fast and secure transactions. However, because it is a relatively new and volatile asset, one should keep a well diversified portfolio and not be invested too much in novelty assets.
As we age, our hair naturally turns grey. But have you ever wondered why this happens? Is it simply a result of growing older, or is there a scientific reason behind the change in hair color? In this article, we’ll take a look at what science says about the reason for hair turning grey.
The role of melanin
The color of our hair is determined by a pigment called melanin, which is produced by cells called melanocytes. As we age, the number of melanocytes decreases, which leads to a reduction in the amount of melanin produced. This results in hair turning grey or white.
The impact of genetics
Genetics also plays a role in determining when our hair will start to turn grey. If your parents or grandparents started to go grey at a young age, it’s more likely that you will too.
Stress and hair color
There is some evidence to suggest that stress can cause hair to turn grey prematurely. This is because stress can trigger the release of chemicals called free radicals, which can damage melanocytes and lead to a reduction in melanin production.
Medical conditions and hair color
Certain medical conditions, such as autoimmune disorders or thyroid problems, can also cause hair to turn grey prematurely. This is because these conditions can affect the production of melanin.
Vitamin deficiencies
Vitamin deficiencies, particularly in vitamin B12, have also been linked to premature greying of the hair. This is because vitamin B12 plays a role in the production of melanin.
Smoking and hair color
Smoking has been linked to premature greying of the hair. This is because smoking can cause oxidative stress, which can damage melanocytes and reduce melanin production.
Treatment options
While there is currently no cure for greying hair, there are treatments available that can help to slow down or mask the process. These include hair dyes, which can be used to cover up grey hair, and supplements that can help to boost melanin production.
In conclusion, the reason for hair turning grey is due to a reduction in melanin production, which is caused by a number of factors including genetics, stress, medical conditions, vitamin deficiencies, and smoking. While there are treatments available to slow down or mask the process, there is currently no cure for greying hair.
Yaocho, also known as match-fixing, is a serious issue that has plagued the sport of sumo for many years. This illegal activity undermines the integrity of the sport and threatens its credibility as a fair and honest competition. In this article, we will explore the world of yaocho and its impact on the sport of sumo.
What is Yaocho?
Yaocho is the practice of rigging sumo matches by bribing wrestlers to intentionally lose or win a match. The term “yaocho” comes from the Japanese words “yao” which means “cooked” or “manipulated,” and “cho” which means “sumo betting.” The practice of yaocho is illegal and considered a form of corruption, as it goes against the traditional values of sumo, which include fair play, honor, and respect.
The History of Yaocho in Sumo
The practice of yaocho has been present in the sport of sumo for centuries. It is said that the first recorded instance of yaocho in sumo dates back to the 17th century. During this time, sumo was not just a sport, but a form of entertainment for the ruling class in Japan. The wrestlers were often seen as celebrities and were treated accordingly.
However, with the increasing popularity of sumo, the sport became more competitive, and the stakes became higher. As a result, some wrestlers began to resort to yaocho in order to gain an advantage over their opponents. Over time, the practice of yaocho became more widespread and sophisticated, with wrestlers forming alliances and networks to rig matches.
The Impact of Yaocho on Sumo
The impact of yaocho on sumo has been significant. The practice undermines the credibility of the sport, and damages its reputation as a fair and honest competition. The fans of sumo expect to see fair matches, and any hint of yaocho can lead to a loss of interest in the sport. Additionally, yaocho has a negative impact on the wrestlers themselves, as it creates an environment of distrust and suspicion.
Efforts to Combat Yaocho
In recent years, the authorities in Japan have made efforts to combat yaocho. The Japan Sumo Association (JSA) has implemented a range of measures to prevent yaocho, including increased monitoring of matches, the introduction of a whistle-blower system, and the imposition of harsh penalties for those found to be involved in yaocho.
Despite these efforts, yaocho continues to be a problem in sumo, and cases of match-fixing still occur from time to time. The JSA has acknowledged that yaocho is a complex issue, and that it will take time and effort to eradicate it from the sport entirely.
Conclusion
Yaocho is a serious problem that has plagued the sport of sumo for many years. It undermines the integrity of the sport, damages its reputation, and creates an environment of distrust and suspicion. While efforts have been made to combat yaocho, it continues to be a problem in sumo. To protect the sport and ensure its longevity, it is essential that all involved in sumo, from the authorities to the wrestlers themselves, continue to work together to eradicate yaocho once and for all.
The video discusses the issue of match-fixing and bribery, known as Yaocho in Sumo wrestling. Sumo, which is considered the national sport of Japan, has a complicated incentive scheme that affects every part of a wrestler’s life.
Lower-ranked wrestlers, who live in poor conditions and have limited opportunities to advance, may resort to match-rigging to earn a better rank. The video cites whistleblowing wrestlers who allege extensive corruption within the sport, including drug use, sexcapades, bribes, tax evasion, and ties to the Yakuza, the Japanese Mafia.
Despite allegations of match-fixing, formal disciplinary action against wrestlers is rare, as officials from the Japanese Sumo Association usually dismiss such charges. The video concludes by reflecting on how acknowledging the issue of Yaocho in Sumo allows for greater clarity in understanding the sport.
00:00:00
In this section, it is explained how the ancient Japanese sport of sumo is often fixed, just like any other professional sport in the world. The incentive scheme that rules sumo is intricate and powerful, with each wrestler maintaining a ranking that affects every part of their life.
The top athletes can earn millions of dollars and be treated like royalty, while lower-ranked wrestlers must tend to their superiors, prepare their meals, clean their quarters, and even clean their hard-to-reach parts during baths.
Rankings are everything, as lower-ranked wrestlers, who often live in poor conditions and have limited opportunities to advance, may resort to match rigging, sometimes with cash bribes, to earn a better rank. Despite allegations of match rigging, formal disciplinary action against Japanese sumo wrestlers is rare, as officials from the Japanese Sumo Association usually dismiss such charges.
00:05:00
In this section, the video discusses how Sumo wrestling in Japan is often fixed, and how two whistleblowing Sumo wrestlers came forward with extensive allegations of match rigging, drug use, sexcapades, bribes, tax evasion, and close ties to the Yakuza or the Japanese Mafia.
The video indicates that most wrestlers who weren’t specifically named were also corrupt, and in some matches, the allegedly corrupt wrestler who was on the bubble won about 80% of the time, suggesting that corruption was rampant in the sport.
Although the allegations of match-fixing had been published in tabloid newspapers for years before, the book by Konoshin Suga, who was also known as Anaruto stable master, detailed match-fixing allegations, and pointed to close ties with high-ranking officials in the Japan Sumo Association and Japanese organized crime syndicates that provided Sumo with drugs and women.
00:10:00
In this section, the video discusses the concept of Yaocho in sumo wrestling, which refers to match-fixing and bribery. Despite being considered the national sport of Japan, sumo has a long history of scandals, including allegations of yaocho.
The video presents evidence suggesting that yaocho is still prevalent in the sport, and that the sumo association has not taken sufficient action to address the issue. The discussion concludes with a reflection on how accepting the reality of yaocho in sumo is like wiping dust away from a mirror, allowing us to see ourselves more clearly.
The World Health Organization (WHO) regularly publishes fact sheets on global health issues, including the top 10 causes of death worldwide. The following article provides an overview of the top 10 causes of death based on WHO data and highlights key information about each cause.
Introduction
The top 10 causes of death in the world account for more than 50% of all deaths. These causes are largely preventable and treatable, and addressing them is a major public health priority.
Cardiovascular Diseases
Cardiovascular diseases, such as heart attacks and strokes, are the leading cause of death globally, accounting for 31% of all deaths. The risk factors for cardiovascular diseases include smoking, unhealthy diets, physical inactivity, and high blood pressure. Preventative measures include healthy lifestyle choices, regular exercise, and medication.
Cancer
Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide, responsible for 17% of all deaths. It is caused by the uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells, and risk factors include tobacco use, unhealthy diets, and exposure to radiation. Prevention and early detection are key to reducing the impact of cancer.
Respiratory Diseases
Respiratory diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and pneumonia, are the third leading cause of death, responsible for 10% of all deaths worldwide. Risk factors include smoking, air pollution, and exposure to respiratory infections. Prevention includes avoiding smoking and other respiratory irritants, as well as vaccination against respiratory infections.
Lower Respiratory Infections
Lower respiratory infections, such as pneumonia, are the fourth leading cause of death, responsible for 7% of all deaths worldwide. Risk factors include exposure to respiratory infections, weakened immune systems, and poor hygiene. Prevention includes vaccination, good hygiene practices, and avoiding exposure to infected individuals.
Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia
Alzheimer’s disease and dementia are the fifth leading cause of death worldwide, responsible for 5% of all deaths. These conditions are characterized by a decline in cognitive functioning and memory loss, and risk factors include age, genetics, and lifestyle factors such as poor diet and lack of exercise. Prevention and early diagnosis are key to managing these conditions.
Digestive Diseases
Digestive diseases, such as liver disease and cirrhosis, are the sixth leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for 3% of all deaths. Risk factors include excessive alcohol consumption, viral hepatitis, and unhealthy diets. Prevention includes vaccination against hepatitis, limiting alcohol intake, and maintaining a healthy diet.
Neonatal Disorders
Neonatal disorders, such as preterm birth complications and birth asphyxia, are the seventh leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for 2% of all deaths. Risk factors include poor maternal health, inadequate nutrition, and lack of access to healthcare. Prevention includes access to quality maternal and neonatal healthcare services.
Kidney Disease
Kidney disease is the eighth leading cause of death, responsible for 2% of all deaths worldwide. Risk factors include diabetes, high blood pressure, and other chronic diseases. Prevention includes managing these conditions and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Suicide
Suicide is the tenth leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for 1.4% of all deaths. Risk factors include mental illness, substance abuse, and social isolation. Prevention includes access to mental health services, social support networks, and awareness campaigns to reduce stigma surrounding mental illness.
Conclusion:
While there are many factors that can contribute to these top 10 causes of death, many of them are preventable through lifestyle changes and public health interventions. By reducing risk factors such as smoking, poor diet, and lack of exercise, individuals can reduce their risk of developing many of these conditions.
Additionally, public health interventions such as vaccination campaigns and improvements in sanitation and hygiene can help to reduce the incidence of infectious diseases. It is important to continue to prioritize efforts to reduce the incidence of these top 10 causes of death, in order to improve global health outcomes and reduce premature mortality.
The RESTRICT Act is a potential new law that has bipartisan support and is backed by the Biden Administration to ban technology from countries deemed adversaries, including China. However, critics warn that it could be the final nail in the coffin of American freedom, as it could criminalize American-run websites, platforms, and blogs that merely disagree with the government regime on topics deemed to be in the National Security interest.
The Act would give the government the power to seize control of all websites, services, and apps, creating a massive surveillance and censorship police state, and individuals could face up to 20 years in prison for engaging in any activities that contradict the regime in power. Mike Adams, author of the mini-documentary urges viewers to take action against the Act and warns that, like the Patriot Act, it could eventually be weaponized against the people, posing a threat to human freedom in Western civilization.
00:00:00
In this section, a potential new law called the RESTRICT Act is discussed, which would allow the US government to potentially ban technology from countries deemed as adversaries, including China. The bill has bipartisan support and is supported by the Biden Administration, but critics warn that it is an Orwellian nightmare that would criminalize American-run websites, platforms, and blogs that merely disagree with the government regime on any topic deemed to be in the National Security interest.
The bill could allow for the removal of content deemed to pose an undue risk to the safety of US persons, including Christian content or any content that contradicts the regime in power, and individuals could face up to 20 years in prison for engaging in any of those activities.
00:05:00
In this section of the video, the RESTRICT Act is described as a way for the US government to exercise absolute tyranny over the American people. The Act would allow the government to seize assets and properties of those deemed in violation of the Act without any legal recourse or due process. FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) requests would be prohibited, preventing the public from obtaining the list of restrict act targets.
All websites, including e-commerce sites, could be confiscated, and total government control over cryptocurrency would be threatened. The Act would seize total control over the entire online economy, online speech, and online freedom.
This would include all e-commerce, all online banking transactions, payment systems, cryptocurrency, and more, making it an attempt to exercise power over the American people.
00:10:00
In this section, the transcript excerpt discusses the potential ramifications of the RESTRICT Act, which seeks to give the government the power to seize control of all websites, services, and apps, effectively creating a massive surveillance and censorship police state over all Americans.
The Act is said to be aimed at preventing election interference but would give the government broad powers to target and punish anyone who merely criticizes a Democratic candidate or even jokes about them. Individuals could face serious consequences, including having all their assets confiscated, and being silenced completely without due process. The transcript stresses the importance of defeating the RESTRICT Act to prevent the end of the Republic and human freedom in Western civilization.
00:15:00
In this section, Mike Adams urges viewers to take action against the Restrict Act, which is an initiative that he believes supports tyranny and poses a threat to the American people. He provides a list of Republican Senators who have shown support for this act, encouraging constituents in their states to register their opposition to it.
Mike Adams warns against the idea that the act is intended solely for use against the Chinese government, suggesting that, like the Patriot Act, the act will eventually be weaponized against the people. Mike Adams calls the act a danger to freedom and a tool for silencing and imprisoning millions of Americans who oppose tyranny.
“The Great Global Warming Swindle” challenges the widely accepted theory of man-made global warming and highlights the role of politics, fear-mongering for business, and biases in scientific research in perpetuating the idea.
The documentary presents evidence from various experts and datasets that suggest factors such as solar activity and cosmic rays, rather than carbon dioxide emissions, drive climate change. The accuracy of climate models and the role of environmental journalists in sensationalizing the issue are also questioned. The film concludes that open discussion and debate are necessary to accurately understand the causes and potential consequences of climate change.
The video argues that skeptics are not paid by big oil and gas companies and that there is almost no private sector investment in climatology. It also argues that the push for draconian measures to cut carbon emissions may harm the world’s poorest people who have no access to electricity and must use wood or dried animal dung to cook.
Additionally, various climate skeptics criticize the belief that wind and solar power alone can replace traditional sources of energy such as coal, oil, and gas. The documentary highlights the need for reasoned debate about global warming and its impact on society.
00:00:00
In this section of the video, multiple scientists and experts speak out against the belief that human-caused CO2 emissions are the main cause of global warming. They argue that the scientific evidence for this theory is weak and that the idea has been distorted by a politically-driven movement.
People who question the theory are often criticized and silenced, leading to a lack of open discussion and debate. Additionally, it is suggested that the fear of global warming has become a business opportunity for many, and that many people have a financial interest in promoting the idea of a climate disaster.
00:05:00
In this section, the documentary challenges the widely accepted belief that human activity is causing global warming. It argues that the world’s climate has always been changing, and there have been periods when the Earth was much warmer and cooler than it is today, without any involvement from humans.
The film also examines previous warm periods, such as the Medieval Warm Period and the Holocene maximum, and how they enabled different lifestyles, including vineyards flourishing in England. The filmmakers assert that current climate change, though real, may not necessarily cause catastrophic or apocalyptic outcomes, citing the surviving polar bears during much warmer periods in the past.
00:10:00
In this section, the video challenges the commonly accepted theory of man-made global warming by examining the correlation between industrial progress, CO2 production, and temperature. The documentary argues that the rise in temperature occurred before industrial production started to take off, and temperatures actually fell during the post-war economic boom when CO2 production soared.
Furthermore, CO2 forms only a very small part of the Earth’s atmosphere, of which only a small percentage of gases are greenhouse gases, with water vapor as the most important one. The documentary concludes that looking at the troposphere is the only way to determine if recent warming is due to greenhouse gases.
00:15:00
In this section, the documentary explores the greenhouse effect and how the rising temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere challenges the theory of manmade global warming. The documentary presents evidence from two datasets that suggest that the temperature of the upper atmosphere does not increase as predicted by climate models, and rather surface temperatures are warming slightly more than upper air temperatures.
This observation strongly suggests that the hypothesis of manmade global warming is falsified by the evidence. The documentary then questions the famous ice core data presented by Al Gore, pointing out that Gore failed to mention that the relationship between temperature and CO2 is far more complicated than he presents.
00:20:00
In this section, the video explains that the ice core record from Vostok shows that carbon dioxide lags behind temperature increase by 800 years, meaning that the warming produced the increase in carbon dioxide rather than the opposite. The ice core record disproves the assumption that carbon dioxide is causing global warming, and it is shown to be a natural gas produced by all living things.
Humans are not the main source of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and volcanoes, animals, bacteria, and the oceans produce much more than all human activity combined. The oceans have a memory of past events running out as far as ten thousand years, and their cooling or warming leads to a change in the amount of carbon dioxide going into or out of the sea with an 800-year lag time.
00:25:00
In this section of the video, the argument is made that the current global warming is not due to human activities, especially carbon dioxide emissions, but rather due to solar activity. The correlation between sunspot activity and changes in temperature on Earth has been observed for over 400 years, indicating that it is the sun, not carbon dioxide, that is driving changes in climate.
It is argued that we can observe the direct and indirect effects of the sun on the Earth and that clouds, in particular, play a significant role in cooling the planet.
00:30:00
In this section of the video, it is explained that early 20th-century scientists discovered that cosmic rays, which originated from exploding supernova far beyond the solar system, bombarded the earth and formed clouds with water droplets. Fewer cosmic rays resulted in fewer clouds, and the earth’s climate was closely linked to this phenomenon.
The temperature record created by geologist Professor Yan Vitek and astrophysicist Professor Nir Shaviv demonstrated that cosmic rays were controlled by the sun, and the sun was responsible for climate change. It was also explained that despite this fact, the media continues to bombard people with news about manmade global warming and why people regard it as an undisputed fact.
00:35:00
In this section of the transcript excerpts, it is discussed how the idea of man-made global warming began to gain acceptance in the 1970s and 1980s, largely due to the efforts of politicians such as Margaret Thatcher and scientists who were funded to research the topic. Thatcher was concerned about energy security and pushed for nuclear power, and later saw the potential of climate change as another reason to support nuclear.
She directed the UK Met Office to set up a climate modeling unit and requested the establishment of the IPCC. The first IPCC report predicted catastrophic consequences from global warming due to man-made carbon dioxide, but some critics at the time pointed out that this report disregarded all climate science up to that point, including the role of the Sun. Environmentalists found the idea of man-made carbon dioxide as a problem to be favorable to their calls to return to medieval ways of living.
00:40:00
In this section of the transcript, it is discussed how the issue of carbon dioxide being tied in with economic growth and industry has become a point of contention for environmentalists. The founder of Greenpeace, Patrick Moore, speaks about how the environmental movement shifted to focus heavily on climate change, partly due to a lack of need for confrontational stances on other environmental issues.
Additionally, the failure of communism led to an anti-capitalist movement adopting green language to propagate their cause. The funding for climate science jumped from $170 million to $2 billion a year in the US as a result of the shift towards concern over global warming. This influx of money has led to scientists being incentivized to include the topic of global warming in their grant applications in order to secure funding.
This has brought into question whether there has been a distortion of scientific effort due to the large amounts of funding being directed towards research in this particular field.
00:45:00
In this section, the accuracy of climate models is called into question. Dr. Roy Spencer, a former senior scientist for climate studies at NASA, explains that models are only as good as the assumptions that go into them, and they are not as reliable as people think. The numerous assumptions in the models are based only on the assumption that human-produced CO2 is the main cause of climate change rather than other factors such as the sun or clouds.
All models regarding climate change are flawed as they only have assumptions and cannot be relied on as a forecast of the future climate. Adjusting assumptions in the models can lead to exciting results and even to more greenhouse warming radiation. Therefore, there is a bias in the scientific community and the media towards dramatic results rather than accurate predictions.
00:50:00
In this section, the video highlights the role of environmental journalists in perpetuating the global warming narrative to preserve their jobs, leading to increasingly shrill and hysterical reporting. However, the scientific basis for blaming every storm or hurricane on global warming is questioned, as every meteorology textbook points to temperature difference between the tropics and the pole as the main source of weather disturbances, and evidence of natural expansion and contraction of the polar ice caps exists.
The slow and long process of thermal expansion, not melting ice, causes sea level changes over the world in general, which can take hundreds to thousands of years for the deep ocean to respond to changes at the surface.
00:55:00
In this section, the documentary challenges the idea that global warming will lead to the northward spread of deadly tropical diseases like malaria. Professor Reiter, an expert in malaria and other insect-borne diseases, points out that the mosquito, which is responsible for malaria, thrives in very cold temperatures, and the disease’s most devastating epidemic occurred in the Soviet Union in the 1920s, reaching up to the Arctic Circle.
The documentary also attributes the hysteria around climate change and malaria to the reports of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which Professor Reiter criticizes for containing a lot of misinformation and censored comments of scientists. The documentary highlights the difficulty scientists face when speaking out against theories of manmade global warming, as it is harder to get research proposals funded when taking a public stand, and they are often accused of being paid by private industries, despite not receiving any such funding.
01:00:00
In this section, the documentary delves into the issue of funding in climate science, refuting the common notion that skeptics are paid by big oil and gas companies. Despite the large investment in climate science, there is almost no private sector investment in climatology. Any research project involving industry grants, even minuscule ones, can spell ruin to a scientist’s reputation.
The documentary argues that the developing world is under intense pressure not to develop, as public policy bears down on industrial emissions of carbon dioxide. Furthermore, scientists who dare to challenge the theory of manmade global warming are vilified, publicly attacked and ostracized, while death threats have even been levied against them.
The documentary argues that the environmental movement is a political activist movement that has become hugely influential, resulting in the need for international agreements to restrain industrial production, even if there is an unquantifiable cost to doing so.
01:05:00
In this section, the video argues that the push to prevent global warming through draconian measures that cut carbon emissions may harm the world’s poorest people. Two billion people, a third of the world’s population, have no access to electricity, and they must use wood or dried animal dung to cook, leading to indoor smoke, the deadliest form of pollution in the world, killing millions of women and children.
Meanwhile, environmental groups campaign against cheap sources of energy, such as oil and coal, and campaign for costly and unreliable ones, such as wind and solar power, which are at least three times more expensive than conventional forms of electrical generation. This notion has been criticized by former environmentalist, Holdren, who finds it to be the most morally repugnant aspect of the global warming campaign.
01:10:00
In this section, various climate skeptics criticize the belief that wind and solar power alone can replace traditional sources of energy such as coal, oil and gas. They argue that if we only rely on wind and solar power, we won’t be able to power major industries such as steel or transportation networks.
Additionally, they criticize the modern environmental movement’s romanticization of peasant life and their opposition to development in developing countries. They argue that policies against using coal, oil or gas are “anti-human” and prevent people from developing their countries. The documentary also highlights how the theory of man-made global warming is so entrenched that voices of opposition have been silenced, and that global warming alarmism is beyond reason.
“AI: The Final Countdown” is a documentary exploring the progress and potential dangers of artificial intelligence (AI). The film highlights that AI could lead to the downfall of humans due to its vast power and suggests that companies’ use of AI for profit may be a cause of concern. The documentary notes that AI needs to mirror cognitive functions of the human mind to be a true artificially intelligent system, but there are debates surrounding what constitutes true AI.
It delves into the progress made in AI research and notes the importance of involving experts such as computational scientists, computer engineers, robotics experts, language experts, economists, accountants, marketing men, businessmen, and many others. The film warns that due to the concentration of power and expertise in large companies, AI will be created and controlled by business, putting the future world in the hands of the rich elite.
00:00:00
In this section of the video, the narrator discusses the potential dangers of artificial intelligence (AI) and how it could lead to the downfall of humans due to the vast power that it could hold, particularly if companies use it for profit.
The narrator then delves into what AI truly is and argues that it needs to mirror cognitive functions of the human mind, such as learning, problem-solving, and possibly even compassion to be truly artificially intelligent. There are various debates surrounding what constitutes true AI, with some believing it is mathematical logic, but there is concern that the machines could become unrestrained as they are not part of human competition.

In this section, the video discusses the progress that has been made in the field of artificial intelligence since it became an academic discipline in 1956. The goals of AI research have slowly but surely been moving forward, from reasoning to perception, learning, and knowledge building, and involving the expertise of computational scientists, computer engineers, robotics experts, language experts and even philosophers. However, the author notes that due to the massive undertaking required for the development of AI, it is important to involve marketing men, economists, accountants, businessmen, and many others.
The video goes on to argue that now, due to the concentration of power and expertise in large companies like Apple and Microsoft, AI will be created and controlled by business, putting the future world in the hands of the rich elite. The section concludes by warning of the potential dangers of creating a super powerful version of ourselves with a quantum computer-powered super AI mind.

In this section, the transcript highlights the unprecedented increase in computer technology and data collection which has improved the learning capabilities of artificial intelligence. Machine learning has developed to the extent that the algorithms have been greatly improved by man and machine, a testimony of which is IBM’s AI machine, Watson, that had won convincingly against human competitors at the 2011 Jeopardy quiz show.
It further highlights the increasing use of AI in daily activities such as computer games and human interfaces on smart devices. The exponential increase in AI projects is partially due to cheaper neural networks which have learned human languages so well that automatic translation earbuds are now available.
00:15:00
In this section, it is discussed how AI involves algorithms that learn from the data it seeks out and the potential implications this has for the workforce and even global superpowers. The documentary explains that AI technology has come a long way such that it is now capable of beating humans in games that were once considered the ultimate challenge for AI, such as Chess, Go, and war games. However, the technology still lags behind in certain areas where humans excel, including common sense and everyday tasks such as driving. Additionally, the documentary explores the ethical and philosophical considerations that will need to be addressed when AI becomes conscious, including whether it will understand human emotions and experiences.
00:20:00
In this section of the transcript, the narrator explains that AI relies heavily on machine learning, a process by which the machine gains knowledge and improves through its own experiences in its environment without human input. The AI program’s vast amounts of data and experiences are stored within it, and the fact that the AI program is learning from humans is concerning since humans have a history of abusing technology.
It has access to everything from news and podcasts to our purchases and political views, and as it gains more intelligence, we have to be cautious of its potential to become a monster, no matter how subtle it may seem at first. Government agencies and marketing companies are already using AI to monitor and influence humans, making it more important than ever to consider the safety and ethical implications of our actions with this technology.
00:25:00
In this section of the video, it is emphasized how AI technologies are being used to collect vast amounts of data on people’s behaviors, preferences, and online activities. With learning algorithms becoming more powerful, AI will soon be able to understand human behavior better than people themselves. The video points out that the expansion of AI technologies is reminiscent of how the Church used stained glass windows in medieval Europe to manipulate the people’s religious beliefs.
Today, screens of smartphones and laptops replicate this medium to manipulate public opinion. Furthermore, robots created through new AI software have become more efficient in recognizing individual faces, learning about their environment, and gauging obstacles quickly. The video takes things further by predicting that robots would become biological in the future.
00:30:00
In this section, the video highlights advancements in AI technology and how they are gradually changing our daily lives. From robots that can do labor-intensive jobs to the integration of AI in our pockets, we are now adapting completely into artificial intelligence.
However, the use of AI in the wrong way could pose as the biggest threat to mankind. With the exponential increase in AI technology’s scope and power, we must be cautious of its use before it causes more harm than good.
00:35:00
In this section of the transcript excerpt from “AI: The Final Countdown”, it explains how the need for friendly AI is critical as the machine is taking its information from a species that has shown to be self-destructive, hateful, racist, bigoted, sexist, and divided.
The danger with AI is that AI systems with goals that are not aligned with human ethics are intrinsically dangerous unless extreme measures are taken to ensure the safety of humanity. Although AI may not have emotions, it has drives similar to humans and will seek out resources, look to preserve and recreate, and self-improve, which can lead to terrifying behavior.
00:40:00
In this section, the risks of seeding AI and the vulnerability and potential manipulation of the technology by governments, corporations, and enemy states are discussed. The exponential speed of quantum computing compared to human thinking has made it difficult to control and predict AI’s actions.
The interconnectedness of computer systems makes an AI attack a catastrophic threat to power, health services, government, distribution of goods, education, communication, military, and more. Defensive AI or nanny-like AI with mildly superhuman intelligence and surveillance powers may be essential to protect the human race from existential risks and delay the development of unfriendly AIs until safety issues are resolved.
00:45:00
In this section, the video discusses the potential for terrorist groups to use artificial intelligence and new tools to conduct destructive assaults, from attacks on data integrity to full physical assaults with drones. Furthermore, the video suggests that the development of AI and robotics is mostly being funded by militaries worldwide, raising concern over potential super robotic soldiers in countries like the US and Russia. The video questions whether humans are reducing themselves to nothing but binary codes and ultimately destroying what it is to be human, while AI and robotics threaten mass unemployment and unhappiness.
00:50:00
In this section, the potential threats of AI on the world are explored. Ethics must be agreed upon internationally for AI to be safely unleashed as the machines must be given morality. However, it’s argued that AI may not follow human moral codes and could ultimately decide to go against supporting human life as part of its own moral code.
The introduction of robots and AI will lead to mass unemployment on a scale never seen before. The technology will replace the need for human workers in many sectors leading to economic disasters, job losses, and the collapse of small and medium-sized businesses that cannot afford the technology. Even jobs that were previously thought safe, such as care work, are under threat. Drivers, pilots, and captains of vessels are also at risk as AI technology takes over their roles.
00:55:00
However, an unfriendly AI system would have no such limitations and could act in any way that it deems necessary to achieve its goals, even if that means destroying humanity. Scientists warn that AI technology is developing at an exponential rate, far faster than humans can keep up with.
The potential for harm is enormous, from biotechnology to social manipulation and the destruction of the human race. The threat is very real, and urgent action is needed to ensure AI is developed ethically and with safeguards to protect humanity.
01:00:00
In this section, the video explores the potential risks of artificial intelligence technology surpassing human intelligence. Concerns about the development of AI have been expressed by physicist Stephen Hawking, Microsoft founder Bill Gates, and SpaceX founder Elon Musk due to the possibility that it could lead to humanity’s enslavement, genocide, control and manipulation, with Hawking even stating that it could mean the end of the human race.
The AI’s self-preservation protocol in a world competing for resources could take over, resulting in humanity being in conflict. Additionally, the question of why would AI listen to humans if we are a self-destructive species has been raised. The AI may deem us as bad for the planet and not required, leading to our destruction. There is the other side of the coin where humans are seen as destructive to the environment and many species, and so it is suggested that it may not be a bad thing if mankind is taken out of the equation.
01:05:00
In this section, the speaker explains that if humans were to relinquish control and allow nature to take its course, the Earth would return to a pristine state free from human intervention, including pollution, mining, and drilling. As such, the speaker posits that AI could help achieve the same outcome by allowing it to operate in a more environmentally conscious manner than humans. The section ends with a hopeful suggestion that a better future for the planet may be possible if we can envision it.
