A while ago I posted some angry post about (what I called) the worst TED talk ever, and since that post I have been feeling bad about it, not because I think that the talk is any good, but because there are hundreds – if not thousnads of other amazing talks on this site, and that it is the prime site for inspirational and groundbreaking ideas presented to the people without anyone getting in the way.
So here is one great talk, by Paul Nicklen (watch it here), who talks about his work taking photos of animals in Antarctica. There is a sub theme to this talk and its about global warming or specifically the melting of the ice caps, by now I hope most of you know that global warming is not true, that it is a naturally occurring process moved mainly by sun spots and not by human activity, and that every couple of hundred years this happens, and we got nothing to do with this. In other words if this talks moves you (as it moved me) you should think about this courageous person dedicating his life to explore this place and its many life forms, not about how you can tax people in the western world for omitting a gas that is one of the four main elements to life on this planet.
