@@vardekpetrovic9716 he literally said non polar desert on earth you brainless gnat.

😂 now I feel bad sorry bro

@@vardekpetrovic9716 I am impressed that you responded to Ryan as you did. I hope to emulate your demeanor as I tend to react too strongly sometimes.

My impression from scanning Blinkist is that it is primarily focused on business and self-help books. Not really my cup of tea. I read the odd one of both, but I have more interest in other topics.

Mr. Vardek and Mr. Ryan: super to track your exchange. Congratulations to you both.

Non avian dinosaurs is nice too.

I’ve been across the center of the Sahara by truck and everyday the scenery changed just amazing to travel through there

It’s Antarcticer

Why do you love it

What a creative name indeed.

@@just_a_turtle_chad I was gonna reply to this comment with a joke having to do with dessert until I found you again.

Like the “green and verdant paradise” aka green and green paradise lol

So the Desert Desert was once green and green. Got it

*gasp* a random Arkansas State fan in the wild?!?

In the words of the great Jacko and Wacko Warner: Hellooo! Texas.

You live in Texas... You're talking about the sonoran desert. The Sahara is in Africa. It's not causing a halo in Texas or breathing problems in Texas. The sonoran (Phoenix resident here, literally live next to it) desert is the big one in the US

It deserves that double name because of the vastness, even if it comes from a rather borked translation. 😉

Kind of like how we in the US call the Rio Grande the "Rio Grande River"

@@MetalMouse67 Faroe means “ Island” ; now ,are these islands so “Island-ish” that they had to name it “Island Island” ?

You say this, but native speakers when given the choice named a boat 'Boaty McBoatface'. Any further questions?

@@--enyo-- Oh no, I agree. Atm machine is another good one.

Locusts: "Hold my leaf"

Yup. Goats are one of the few herbivores that browse, graze and dig. They will in time consume the entire plant leaving no possibility of recovery. There is no faster way to murder good agricultural land than to run goats on it. That is partly the reason Africa is the way it is today.

@@Schumanized the locusts do their damage faster but at least they leave roots untouched. not so a goat. Billy Goat: "hold my beard"

Good name for a science fantasy novel: The Goat that Ate the World

Why Farm the bearded bastards then?

its like orange fog. Today the mask are more useful.

Yes i can agree

What’s crazy is that same dust makes it to the US especially Florida.

A video on the Canary Islands and The Guanches would be an interesting one.

@@Tommy2shoe811 in the uk it changes the colour of the sky

Feeding growth in Europe too, as we have seen once more the last week... Orange Day Light...

thats what wind do. rain season in south east asia is caused by wind carrying water from china and pacific ocean and summer is caused by dry wind from australia.

And sometimes naming for impressively orange or yellow air!

Africa is really big...

thats racist

😅

@@magzire no, that’s follicle-ist. And, judging by his smooth pate, accurate. 😏😆

@@magzire that’s hairist.

ice cold in Alex is probably better 😊

actutally he said "the biggest non-polar desert" :)

@@LexUniverse I'm aware of what he said but what does the title say professor

This would probably have been a good segue to requesting a Geographics on Antarctica. But then I realised it had already been done. XD

@@--enyo-- maybe just a 30 mintues video about the desert in Antarctica? :-D I am sure he would make it interesting anyway :D

Yes, but by deserters

We will serve the leader till death

Give it time. The goats are coming...

but with a desert arround it you have the world biggest sandpit... do you want someone else to steal that honor from you?

Hey Kim, the democrats built a bigger evil fortress than you in DC to hide from the people.

Yes we know there is a natural tilt that moves and effects general climate at a rate we can calculate. We can also tell when that rate is being sped up by non natural additions to the atmosphere that help magnify the suns rays as it passes through. Therefore causing a second form of climate change that we actually can slow down if we choose too. There is no reason to go harping on a natural cause that we cant control... Or do you just want there to be a scapegoat for something you dont want to deal with?

You honestly think the climate scientists haven't taken that into consideration? They spend their lives researching and studying the climate and you believe to know more? Wth!?

You clearly didn't pay attention to the video.

Ya GOTTA be KIDDING! Right? Ever hear of the "Raptors"????

I was thinking the same thing. Toronto is metric. The image used was Punxsutawney, PA. The cold image was some apartment in NYC.

-15°C? That’s a pretty warm winter day in Manitoba.

@@MrTUBEular10 The hot image you mean. Because it’s so hot, the person is opening up the freezer to cool down.

6,000 years ago the Sahara was lush tropics with massive fresh water lakes and navigatable rivers AND NO FOSSIL FUELS!!!

I hate sand.....

and making a bloody mess of the cars 😒

Wait, it gets up here too?

Yup all over my windows

My thoughts exactly.

The world is filled with irony. Someone must be laughing hard behind the scenes.

Sand is basically eroded rock. So, as sand and dust is carried across the ocean, the rocks in the desert are eroded away, replenishing the sand that is lost. The rock comes from mostly compressed sediment (sedimentary rocks) since there are no volcanoes (igneous rock). Also, the amount of sand blown away and then eroded from stone is very small compared to the vast Sahara. Before there is any real impact, plate tectonics will have completely changed the geography of Africa, including the Sahara.

Joe Scott already did

Well there's quite the time gap between the salt water channel and human existence... There were vast lakes within the desert, long dry now, but were there when people were. The salt water channel was a LONG TIME before people...

Go north. The Texas panhandle clouds turn red due to the red dirt up there.

@@badluck5647 -- It's so red that it even affects the toilet water.

Bahahahaha 😂😂😂

Came to the comments looking for this!

Tomayto - tomato.

You mean the American lakes, you yanks aren't the centre of the world if you can believe it, personally I can't wait to see America fall into civil war, which will happen

@@Wolfpaw754 I'm Canadian, so no, The Great Lakes.

@@Wolfpaw754 Are you even a real person or an algorithm designed to sow disorder?

@@Wolfpaw754They're called the great lakes because they're big, not because North Americans think they're cool lol

He talked about the aral sea, but that didn’t end well.

The fact it’s a desert has more to do with the movement of the planet than humans

@@biffabacon6019 I’m talking about past civilizations and their impact on the planet. Africa used to be more rainforest than what it is today. My point and question is whether or not the current state and size of the desert had started off smaller but was caused by humans. We don’t know what caused the greatness of the Sahara but there are archeological and historical theories to go alone with what I’m saying.

It was the movement of the planet

@@WilfredoWolganG The Sahara has been green like 230 times its like a cycle!

​@@WilfredoWolganGhuman has no such feat before industrialization.

Same

🤫🤫🤫🤫we don’t talk about that here

Or the lost pyramids, civilizations....etc..

You KNOW that? Woah

@@ReddFoxx1562 well if one bronze age book is credible, in spite of having talking animals and plants, I think roman records of a similar age and significantly less mention of fantasy elements should be at least as credible

You legend :D

Allegedly he says the things

I have noticed that as well. At the same time, I notice that he speaks in "review" or "survey" terms, so as he presents the info, awkward "proclamations" are not really made.

@@daveanderson718 allegedly.

I think you'll get your answer from Business Blaze 😊

Even just this week we went from 40s... to -10 all yesterday.

@@jakehix8132 yeah I feel yeah. We went from 40s on thursday to -17f last night lol

@@michaelhibberd9740 Wow, -17f? Thats really warm.

The thing is, that connections is exaggerated, the Amazon has existed for millions of years while the sahara, well it's not always a desert, so the Amazon shouldn't exist by that logic because it would've long ago lost all its nutrients to keep existing.

@@MsMRkv you have a point there. Thanks.

There are a number of factors but one of the major ones has to do with the presence at mid latitudes where tropospheric convection cells descend from the tropopause via the equatorially ascending Hadley cell and the northerly Ferrel circulation results in very dry air from the top of the troposphere having already rained out its moisture as such anywhere around 30 degrees of latitude is entirely dependent on geographical air flows close to the surface. This is why most of the worlds deserts are concentrated around 20 to 40 degrees latitude. The hospitability of this range of latitudes thus is due to where it gets its weather systems from the east cost of the US receives its moisture from the gulf of Mexico getting carried over the eastern continental US by the jet stream. For the Sahara geography had acted to limit the moisture the region receives as to the east of the Sahara is the East Ethiopian Rise moisture predominately from the East Africa Monsoon carried by air circulating in from the Indian ocean runs into these mountains and thus rains out driving the vast floods of the Nile but in exchange this results in a vast rain shadow effect as the mountains ring out any water in the air carried by the winds letting them sweep up dust from Africa and depositing in through the Atlantic ocean and the Americas particularly the Amazon river basin. The key to note is this results in the east versus west wind dichotomy that has resulted in north Africa exhibiting a strong dichotomy of the wet/green west African monsoonal period and the desolate dry east African monsoonal period with each phase lasting roughly 20,000 years thanks to orbital precession of the Earths axial tilt weakening or strengthening the respective prevailing wind directions. Does this help? The overall pattern has been in place for a while which drives the regional seesaw of precipitation it also seems to have been a major driver of human evolution by acting to isolate hominid populations during dry phases and allowing the populations to reinter mix during the subsequent wet phases.

@@Dragrath1 you are very smart thank u

@@Dragrath1 Does help but my first thought was can you put it in simple English please, I have had a long day and that means my brain does not work so hard.

Wrong, stop making up crap.

He did. So?

Last time I checked, Canada was part of North American, just like the USA. So what's your point.

@@michaelhusar3668 the point is that he was telling Americans to imagine the temperature bc they don’t know Celsius, except Toronto both uses Celsius (and therefore no Canadian needs to imagine it) and Americans don’t exactly visit Toronto in droves (and usually don’t even know anything about Canada), so the city he mentioned is useless. It’s also funny to think that a guy who makes so many geography videos doesn’t know what country Toronto is in.
