Up To Date | Hummingbird Divebombs; Collapsing Ice Sheets

from Inquiring Minds · host Indre Viskontas

This week: A study looking into how male hummingbirds divebomb fast enough that their tail feathers make high-pitched squeaks; and new evidence explaining why sea levels were 6-9 meters higher about 150,000 years ago (even though the climate was just about as warm as it is today), and why that’s especially relevant now.Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/inquiringminds Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
