3:06

I can grow more birds. Why

3:08

would you mean that's not

3:10

how it works, but seat

from birds. it's bird food

3:27

And it's made of stuff

3:29

like millet and sesame seeds

3:31

and sunflower. Say. Oh

3:34

well, maybe it'll grow into sunflowers

3:36

instead. And that, though, sunflowers will

3:39

make more sense. And that we could

7:03

Well then know what

7:17

that's the problem. Any and all the

7:19

signs that read in I made. Sense

says, save are parasites.

7:27

Climate change is bugging

7:29

me out. This parasites

7:31

have hair row right

7:34

now that. Last, when's a little

7:36

bit of a stretch smithy. What is? He. Did.

7:40

Some the study that I was reading

7:42

the other day from the journal, the

7:44

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

7:46

That said, the survey. Sites are

7:48

in trouble Guy: Rise in

7:51

scrabble? Mindy wouldn't know warmer.

7:53

Planet mean more parasites than ever before?

7:55

Oh what do you mean? Well all

7:57

the parasites said i know prefer

8:00

warmer climates and seems to me

8:02

like climate change would be an.

8:04

Odd thing for them he recites may

8:06

be getting a boost from climate change.

8:08

you know, the sort of parasites it

8:11

as humans are familiar with. This said

8:13

he says it's they may be the

8:15

exception to the rule. Ah. I

8:26

want to go. Got say it's a good.

8:28

See some must.

8:34

Realize. Wow.

8:38

Whatever. I'd rather go. Are we

8:40

leaving? So are you? Ready to go? There was.

8:43

No, most been a year, just one

8:46

last stroke. How

8:50

This? We are a

8:52

dead hit. Since

8:54

it is like tech support.

8:58

May. Decide.

9:03

Okay, ready. He got your. Tell.

9:17

Me it was the same way more Hank and

9:19

about. Ever

9:25

armor Parmesan know? Lane

9:29

near Paris. Wherever.

9:33

He wants to dress tennis ball

9:35

and I dressed up like a

9:37

tennis ball. Data scientists are little

9:39

mishap. Earlier we had a painting

9:41

miss have yelled. Out

9:47

that nothing else to those are now I.

9:50

Am as we can hear you. You don't

9:52

want to keep using that for a sorry.

9:57

Sorry. Mean the. While

10:00

money or eight hours at

10:02

else would make on weren't

10:05

there was some India a

10:07

while we marching to save

10:09

the parasites. I always thought

10:11

that parasites were bad. Through

10:15

the parasites transmit. Diseases an

10:17

impact other species. yeah. And

10:19

it's also true that they

10:21

live in our on other

10:24

animals uninvited. Parasites

10:28

Basically satellites that, as he

10:30

said, post them night and

10:33

parasites make up almost half

10:35

of all animals pieces on

10:37

the planet. The. Do is

10:40

very important. Dempsey Monday

10:42

that doesn't make any

10:44

sense. Parasite sound awful.

10:46

You mean awfully in

10:48

for for keeping our

10:50

systems and snacks high.

10:52

Rise is parasites blind of disappearing

10:55

because of climate change. Our ecosystem

10:57

that we know them to the

10:59

bomb balls would be thrown out

11:01

of land. Not sure

11:04

I follow. Okay, so parents

11:06

A as well. That's. Easy.

11:09

It's a predator that show the

11:11

in an ecosystem to make sure

11:13

that there aren't many have any

11:15

one. Of my. Other

11:19

animals to keep them from taking

11:21

over. Yes I know what the

11:23

predators do then it has also

11:25

Guy rod besides can sometimes affected

11:27

animal behavior which in turn can

11:29

move up the phone. same right?

11:31

Maybe. Itself

11:33

some parasites made animals

11:35

in strange ways which

11:37

makes it's for prisoners

11:40

to forgive them in

11:42

this affects the same

11:44

relief for example. In

11:47

this said he he sounded since

11:49

it's a worm called the to

11:51

clean the told slap some women

11:53

in stem cells see him from.

11:58

In. In.

12:15

That kind of scary Monday. I'll

12:18

say scary cool guy. Rise This can

12:20

be found. A fish who were infected

12:22

with this parasites made them ten to

12:24

thirty times more likely to become a

12:27

meal for. A bird male.

12:34

Male that are. Upon

12:38

us. All

12:41

because. I'll be

12:43

good. Okay, so what you're saying

12:45

Mindy is that without that parasites,

12:47

those fish wouldn't swim close to

12:50

the surface. and without that, some

12:52

of those birds of prey would

12:54

go hungry. Saw

12:57

it as help a lot of predators. Okay,

12:59

I think I'm starting to get

13:01

it. But how do these researchers

13:04

know that these parasites are disappearing?

13:07

Said he always telling you

13:09

they analyzed almost eighteen thousand

13:11

parasites that were members adding

13:13

eighty five. Different species flow

13:16

thanks a lot and eve

13:18

were. Able to track the species

13:20

over the lungs when hundred and

13:22

forty years and they found that

13:24

as the earth warms, the amount

13:26

of parasites. Decrease That's incredible.

13:29

Many incredibly such as

13:31

Two Degrees. The

13:34

parasite. And

13:36

nobody wants. To milk it says

13:39

that the parents. About

13:47

look at all the people. are

14:00

This is the next time to appear

14:02

in order to be read and have a

14:04

giant event! She wants to include... Ooh!

14:07

A megaphone! Hey!

14:09

I've got a megaphone too! Get

14:11

it! Megaphone twist! Do

14:14

you think all these people are here

14:16

because of that study you read, Mindy?

14:18

Maybe. I mean, parasites aren't usually this

14:20

popular. Right. We don't usually tend to

14:22

research them as much as we do

14:24

other organisms. Yeah, and the ones we

14:26

do decide to study are usually the ones that

14:29

are harmful to us or the animals we eat

14:31

or keep as pets. So the whole

14:33

point of this march is to make

14:35

people realize that parasites are just as

14:38

important to save from climate change as

14:40

the birds and the bees? Exactly! And

14:42

the first step in that is

14:45

doing more research into these

14:47

important but misunderstood creatures. Hey!

14:50

Cool costumes, you two! Huh?

14:53

What costumes? Oh! Aren't

14:55

you two dressed up as parasites? And

14:58

what's it to ya? Nothing! Just

15:00

dig the costumes, man! Grandma Chief,

15:02

just say thank you! Where'd

15:05

I remember me? Right on!

15:07

No worries! Save the parasites!

15:10

Geez! Huh! Strange

15:13

fella! Hello! Is this thing

15:15

off? Oh! I rise! I think they're about to give

15:17

the speeches! Okay, good! Thank

15:20

you all for coming today!

15:22

The awareness that we're raising

15:24

for our parasite friends will

15:26

have crippling sex throughout the

15:28

whole ecosystem! Because...

15:32

They're excited for saving

15:34

him! That's all! Now,

15:37

is there anyone out there that would like to

15:39

come up to the microphone and say a few

15:41

words to help inspire and

15:43

motivate and emulate

15:45

the... Gimmie! Pick

15:48

me! Pick me! Pick

15:50

me! You then! The gentleman with the megaphone! Come on up!

15:52

Yes! Excuse

15:55

me! Pardon me! Gentleman

15:57

with the megaphone coming through! Oh

16:00

my god, oh my god! Oh my!

16:08

Okay, is this thing off? Oh,

16:10

thank you! I like good! Ahem!

16:15

Hello everyone, my name is

16:17

Dennis, and I don't mind telling you,

16:19

I don't much care

16:21

for parasites. Oh

16:24

no. Someone ought to stop him before

16:27

he makes a fool out of himself. Oh

16:30

wait, it's too late. When

16:32

showing, parasites are too mighty,

16:34

and we all know it!

16:38

Oh shit, looks like it's Mindy to the

16:40

rescue again! Excuse me, excuse me coming through!

16:42

Sorry, just telling you what's up my friend.

16:45

Hello! Let's feel the leeches! Even

16:47

their name sounds disgusting! Leeches! Leeches!

16:52

I just pushed myself up on the stage

16:54

here. It's like I am! You

16:57

know? You know what I mean? Oh,

16:59

oh, oh, oh! Dennis, you can

17:01

go now. Hi everyone! Harvey. But

17:03

I was just getting to the gut part! Who are you

17:05

wearing? Ah, man. Get... What's

17:10

the meaning of this? Do you have

17:12

something to say about parasites? Oh, me? Well,

17:16

I, I suppose I,

17:18

I suppose I do. Yes! Well,

17:21

okay then. For

17:24

far too long, we have

17:26

seen parasites as nothing but an

17:28

annoying pet. A creature

17:30

that only wishes to do us harm. But

17:34

now we realize how important

17:36

parasites are, not only

17:39

to us, but to

17:41

the entire ecosystem. Sure

17:45

they may be different from us, and

17:47

sure they may be all taken, no

17:49

give. But that doesn't

17:51

mean that parasites don't deserve to

17:54

be saved. And for that

17:56

I say... SAVE! OUT!
