like the Amazon rainforest you're hearing behind me.

I'll just run them very quickly through.

Our country's climate is temperate.

Kind of.

So what we're doing is, we're taking the most concentrated greenhouse gas sink, twice as much greenhouse gases are sequestered in the boreal per acre than the tropical rainforests.

The western border of the boreal in British Columbia is marked by the Coast Mountains, and on the other side of those mountains is the greatest remaining temperate rainforest in the world, the Great Bear Rainforest, and we'll discuss that in a few minutes in a bit more detail.

What about if I put a thermal sponge in the middle, in the passageway between where the air has to move between hot and cold?

Of?

Glass.

I thought as it was just laying there... a piece of glass

The glass!

Frost Glass

An important impact, if global warming continues, will be on the breadbasket of our nation and the world, the Midwest and Great Plains, which are expected to become prone to extreme droughts, worse than the Dust Bowl, within just a few decades, if we let global warming continue.

(Laughter)

My neck's on the glass.

Break the glass.

I think i just cracked the glass.

They're ocean based and scale animals who are communicating over much longer ranges than we had anticipated.

Glass?

How come the shirt's not torn?

This is glass grade.

I sanded it for days until it was smooth as glass.

They grow in tropical forests like this one and they also grow in temperate rainforests, that we find in Washington state.

And that's what you see here

Can you look through the glass?

A glass of water, please

BECKER It's the one with the glass door in front.

I'm also looking at trying to develop some building components for the market, and so here you see a pretty typical double glazed window panel, and in that panel, between those two pieces of glass, that double glazing,

Both of our polar regions are very important climate controllers.

Glass breaks easily.

Glass breaks easily.

The rain beats against the window pane.

(Laughter)

(Laughter)

Please don't tap the glass.

And their answers were tabulated instantly with a student response system. gt gt Student

Don't step on the broken glass.

The bottle is made of glass.

Who broke the window?

Don't touch the glass.

And how I set about that, I got some splinters of wood.

And underneath the microscope there were splinters of glass.

Some of them were quite jagged.

So what I did, like I said, come back to the glass.

Watch the glass.
