Today's wildfires burn, on average, twice the amount of land they did in 1970. The reason? We've been working too hard to put them out.

Some of the stuff in vaccines seems downright dangerous, but there's a good reason those ingredients are in there.

old_MK Excellent! However, if I have to look like a NMR in order to live longer, then never mind! No, seriously, it's good research to maybe help some people with certain medical conditions, I suppose, or perhaps to help us to look and feel younger and better while we're here, but I certainly DON'T want to live forever. 70 - 100 years is plenty for me, thank you!

When it comes to saving species, how should we decide who to save first? We decided to be a bit provocative with this one! What do you think?

old_MK And, um, WHY would we spend a dime (even if that's all it took) to save a louse?! Lice are a nasty, parasitic species that probably spreads disease... As for the panda........that IS a toughie. They ARE awfully cute, but they're so darned sensitive and "niche-y" that one wonders if it's worth it. Hate to say it, but I asked the same question about 10 years ago. Pandas are so sensitive that even if we weren't screwing up the planet, they might still be in trouble... * sigh * It's a tough question...

A New Way To Watch (Vessel Announcement)

Greetings MinuteEarth Patrons, It’s been a really exciting month for us here at MinuteEarth! We celebrated our second birthday on YouTube, garnered our millionth subscriber, and passed the 50 million view mark. But that’s not all…(drumroll)... We also recently signed up to make our videos available on an exciting new video site called Vessel.com to give you even more options for watching MinuteEarth. Check out our vlog announcement here for more details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2Da8Sl01NU Or just read these bullet points: • Vessel is a clean, streamlined video platform with curated content and minimally-intrusive advertising (no popup ads!). • It’s free to watch videos on Vessel, but there’s also a subscription option where you can pay just $3 a month and get early access to content across the site, including all future MinuteEarth videos. • If you go to vessel.com/sciences to subscribe, Vessel will pledge additional support to MinuteEarth, MinutePhysics, AND the excellent Veritasium. So your subscription will help fund lots of new science videos! • Additionally, if you sign up with Vessel before 11:59pm Pacific Time on Thursday March 26th, you’ll get a FREE one-year subscription - that means you’ll have pre-release access to videos all year long without paying a dime (and like, really for free…you don’t even have to enter your credit card information). If you’re not interested in checking out Vessel, don’t worry! We’re still going to post our videos on YouTube and iTunes, too, as we always have. Thanks again for supporting us! We hope to see you soon, wherever you want to watch our videos – on YouTube, iTunes, or now Vessel. Henry, Alex, Emily, Peter, Ever, Kate, Omkar, and Nathaniel

We think you'll like this one - we all learned a lot about a cool phenomenon called "tidal locking."

MinuteEarth

Arturo Gutierrez excellent video! and I loved how happy the moon looks :)

February 28, 2015 19:15:02 · Reply

Ken Blackman Got it. So most moons in our solar system are tidally locked. None (?) of the planets are tidally locked with the sun. Are they headed that way, for the same reason? When will that happen?

March 2, 2015 20:01:50 · Reply

MinuteEarth The strength of tidal forces goes down as 1/r^3, so it gets much weaker the farther you are. That's why the moon is the major tidal influence on earth, even though the overall force of the sun's gravity on us is WAY bigger. Earth's tidal locking with the sun is predicted to take much longer than it will take for the sun to die (or something like that)
