The Irish Potato Famine had almost nothing to do with potatoes. It occurred because English landowners in Ireland were exploiting Irish peasants to the point that all the Irish had left was potatoes. Then when the potato crop failed, the English continued to export food (food produced by the starving Irish peasants, mind you) rather than avert the famine. The failure of the potato crop was the inciting incident of the famine, but the social/economic conditions of expropriation were necessary to turn a survivable crop failure into a lethal famine. Famines rarely happen because of natural disasters. Natural disasters merely reveal the precarity inherent in exploitative economic systems in which the workers do not reap what they sow.

Well at school in Peru they teach you this but use a different system, using indigenous terms rather than Spanish -Costa or Chala- for the sea level, then Yunga higher up, then Quechua, then Suni or Jalca, Puna, Janca (the highest point) and then one the other side of the andes, on the eastern side where the amazon rain forest begings, there was Rupa rupa or high jungle and then Omagua or low jungle.

Will the next video describe the attributes of the different climates? :) somewhere that doesn't go bellow 10 degrees in the winter, and doesn't go above 25 degrees in the summer would be the ideal place to live. But that also has enough rainfall for deciduos forests.

Watching stars and noticing the connection between clouds and rainfall later in the season. Its amazing - but also makes you wonder what other connecting they made that did not mean anything.

One of my favorite assignments when I was in uni was studying data from meteorological stations and looking at the classifications of those zones
