TED - Tierney Thys: Swim With Giant Sunf...

Marine biologist Tierney Thys asks the audience to step into the open ocean, for a visit to the world of the Mola mola, or giant ocean sunfish. Basking, eating jellyfish, and getting massages, this behemoth offers clues to life in the open ocean -- which accounts for 90 percent of the living space on this planet -- and also shows how climate change may be affecting all life.

Climate change, get the fuck out. Humans aren`t causing climate change, and I hate it when people treat you like a holocaust denier if you think that...
