Richard Preston: Climbing the world's biggest trees

- čas přidán 2. 12. 2008
- www.ted.com Science writer Richard Preston talks about some of the most enormous living beings on the planet, the giant trees of the US Pacific Northwest. Growing from a tiny seed, they support vast ecosystems -- and are still, largely, a mystery.
If you want to read about how Richard and his wife-soon-to-be enjoyed their time up in the canopy, read his book: The Wild Trees. Amazing.
Richard’s book The Wild Trees is amazing. Would love to visit the Redwoods one day.
Thank you...I love trees....we are all connected...Namaste
Another one of my favorites.
Why are the comments on you tube so often disappointing?
Before I die, I shall climb Hyperion, the world's tallest tree.
Is this the same Richard Preston who wrote The Cobra Event and The Hot Zone? I love both of those book.
Yes haha he had a pretty epic tree phase
This planet is amazing!!
Awesome. I love TED
thx for the comment....
i thought i might try something new...i guess its not really working out
Amazing. Redwood time.
Great talk! *****
I just dove a 320' 30' diameter Sequoia with my FPV Racing Drone! Was Epic! Just uploaded it!
aaaaaah, pixels!!
It does happen. Let say we accelerate the process quite heavily. Most big mammals are in dangered species because of us: whales, elephants, buffaloes, etc. Like here, there was a meal called "la tourtiere". It still exist, but they replaced the meat. Because of extensive hunting the passenger pigeon disappeared. It was the official meal of my nation. We lost an animal and a part of our identity and heritage. Me sad :(
yes! i had heard about the wooly mammoth thing. how cool is that?? i can't wait to see one in the flesh. FIELD TRIP!!
Wow!
I like how they used a Tolkien word to name this type of tree... But I think they could have used a better term like "Nimloth" instead of "Ilúvatar"
I guess they cared more about making those trees into money than preserving their dendochronologic data for future generations.
We are lucky there are still some of them standing.
wow,, i wanna climb hyperion.
HAHA! I thought I was the only person who saw that. Yeah, they retrieved 80% of the DNA Code.
Hmmm Mammothburger, Raptor chicken wings, T-Rex Steak... Except vegetarians would be pissed by all this new meat!
I guess tofu will always stay tofu... no matter what.
LOL!
Oops commented on the wrong guy.
I meant qpwnsall.
i dunno im just saying
because people are too...
Even if he is, what does it matter? and even more so how is it relevant to the message?
I usually get so annoyed when watching these vids because everyone tries to b a comedian and sometimes the mics are so close to there mouth and so sensitive you can hear there dry moist tongue sticking to the roof of the mouth and them peeling it away then you here there dry loud sticky swallow. Don't listen with headphones on it drives my OCD so crazy a can't stop focusing on it to the point I have to change it or I turn down volume so much and put on closed caption.
They are beautiful, interesting, but so what...?
Yeah that last comment by him could totally be misused by right wing fundies =)
