    The weirdest summer in recorded history - David Biello

    Dig into geoengineering, which uses technology to manipulate Earth’s environments to counteract climate change.--In 1815, Mount Tambora erupted and its emissions spread across the globe, blotting out the sun for almost an entire year. This wreaked havoc on agriculture, leading to famines all across the Northern hemisphere. It was the year without summer— one of the darkest periods in human history. So why are some modern researchers considering repeating it? David Biello digs into geoengineering.Lesson by David Biello, directed by Léon Moh-Cah, Andi Concha, Na Na Na Studio.This video made possible in collaboration with Speed & ScaleLearn more about how TED-Ed partnerships work: https://bit.ly/TEDEdPartnersSupport Our Non-Profit Mission----------------------------------------------Support us on Patreon: http://bit.ly/TEDEdPatreonCheck out our merch: http://bit.ly/TEDEDShop----------------------------------------------Connect With Us----------------------------------------------Sign up for our newsletter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdNewsletterFollow us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/TEDEdFacebookFind us on Twitter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdTwitterPeep us on Instagram: http://bit.ly/TEDEdInstagram----------------------------------------------Keep Learning----------------------------------------------View full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/the-year-without-summer-david-bielloDig deeper with additional resources: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/the-year-without-summer-david-biello#digdeeperAnimator's website: http://nananastudio.comMusic: http://www.wonderboyaudio.com----------------------------------------------Thank you so much to our patrons for your support!

    Why did three popes reign at once? - Joëlle Rollo-Koster

    Dig into the history of the Papal Schism, which caused a split in the Catholic Church while 3 popes vied for supremacy. --For almost two millennia, the Pope has been a figure of supreme spiritual authority for Catholics around the world. But in the late 14th century, Catholics found themselves with not one, not two, but three popes. Where did this plethora of popes come from? And who among them was the genuine article?

    Can other animals perceive death? - Barbara J. King

    Do nonhuman animals experience grief? Explore mourning in the animal kingdom to find out the answer to this tricky question.--In 2018, an orca called Tahlequah gave birth. But her daughter died within an hour. Tahlequah, however, didn’t leave her body. Over the next 17 days and 1,600 kilometers, she kept it afloat atop her own. By altering her feeding and travel patterns, Tahlequah’s behavior was certainly unusual. But was she mourning— or just confused? Barbara J. King explores whether nonhuman animals experience grief.Lesson by Barbara J.
