    Hell yeah ! So glad that you are posting again dude. I learned so munch from your channel. Thank you !!!!
    Edit : To add up to your amazing video, I couldnt agree more. A pilot said that when he flew over freshly tilled farm, his little sesna would get crazy turbulence. When he flew over plant covered lands, there was none or much less.
    The black soil generate SO much heat, we underestimate the importance of covering the planet with plants to cool it down.

    Really love the expertly expressed holistic science here.
    This helps build the case for holistic ecosystem regeneration, not only through 'rewilding' but also through building localised food systems, which are inherently more biodiverse. Given around one half of the world's habitable land is currently used for agriculture, ag-rewilding and agricultural diversification is crucial for restoring Earth's organs.

    Does planting plants can actually save the planet

    Syntropic farming mimics the stratafication layers of a rainforest and thus plants rain exactly as this video describes. Would it be possible for the team that produced this video to promote syntropic farming ?? If the financial community all over the planet could be made aware of how syntropic farming can stabilize weather patterns, regenerate water cycles, while producing abundant polycultures of crops for food, medicine, cosmetics, and industry...then I am sure they would all find ways to financially support syntropic farming.

    keep broadcasting. hoping that enough humans find this and behave in accordance these basic humanity preserving ideas. This knowledge is likely fought against in schools as it can lead to respect for a system that is cooperative and works without expensive pollution inputs like fertilizer, Glyphosate, and other persistent toxic chemicals. Billionaires who own our congress will fight to prevent this knowledge from reaching as many people as they can.

    The solution is not to apply fixes to the same system that caused the problem in the first place, but to view the problem from a biological perspective. We need to rethink our relationship to our environment.

    Hemp can capture atmospheric carbon twice as effectively as forests while providing carbon-negative biomaterials for architects and designers, according to Cambridge University researcher Darshil Shah. "Numerous studies estimate that hemp is one of the best CO2-to-biomass converters," said Shah, who is senior researcher at the Centre for Natural Material Innovation at Cambridge. "It's even more effective than trees," he said. "Industrial hemp absorbs between 8 to 15 tonnes of CO2 per hectare of cultivation."
    Furthermore, hemp can become diesel biofuel for the farmers and truckers, thereby lowing carbon emissions all while cleaning the soil and water and providing stalks to make hemp-based batteries that are 8 times stronger than lithium.

    Most of what Jimi Sol says in the video is true, but you must not leave listeners with the idea that plants can combat global warming. If that were true we would not be in the mess that we're in with the climate crisis. Plants can only absorb something less than half their weight in carbon (from CO2). We are currently emitting some 40 GT tonnes (that's 40,000,000,000 tonnes) of carbon every year from burning fossil fuels. Even the healthiest, largest, mature tree cannot sequester more than 0.1 metric tonne of carbon in one year, the majority of trees sequester far less, while other vegetation can hardly equal the sequestration by trees. There are presently about 3 trillion trees on Earth, and those have not been able to counter the emissions. WE MUST WORK AT STOPPING CARBON EMISSIONS. There is no other way left to salvage our warming climate in the time available to us. And the only course now available to us is to rapidly convert to renewables as our energy source and rid ourselves of fossil fuels.

      An ice cube in a cup of carbonated water will melt totally at the same time as an ice cube in fresh water - if you stir both water at the same pace. So we should restore the terrains from their mono/flat shape to natural wild & wet to spread out circulations. Besides, with much more organisms/microbes before man, their kind would at least triple the natural storage of carbon if left alone.

    Except when they grow in areas that were once bright, reflective ice and snow. Plants are darker, and absorb more solar energy, rather than reflecting it, heating the atmosphere. Another self reinforcing feedback loop on the road to human extinction.

      The only way to prevent the dominoe effects near the earth’s poles is stopping the export of both: heat and GHGs from settlements and industries.
      That is why it is key not to cool cities with air-cons and spraying water. That is why it is key not to prioritize tech like reflective surfaces or e-cars but take a gobal eco-social systems coscious approach - starting in every neighbourhood doing our part of what is needed to regenerate life on earth from the microbes to elefants and whales!
