Azalea As and my honorable
2:52
mentions African Violet and my

2:56
peppers And this week I
2:58
decided to plant some of

your bird seeds in my
3:03
god and read. So
3:06
I can grow more birds. Why
3:08
would you mean that's not
3:10
how it works, but seat
3:12
grows more birds? Yeah, pretty
3:14
sure. What
3:17
flowers? Like. Those
3:20
birds of paradise. flowers. Ah,
3:22
out. bird seed doesn't come
3:24
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
3:41
plant don't see to grow. More sunflowers,
3:46

7:00

7:03
Well then know what
7:06
is his peers. Parasites
7:09
mean the very creatures I've
7:11
been thriving. people I might
7:13
grow tomatoes. Tomatoes.
7:17
that's the problem. Any and all the
7:19
signs that read in I made. Sense
7:22
interesting. As this one
7:24
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!
