I first learned about the fate of the Aral sea during geography class in High school and I thought it was crazy what kind of impact humans can have on the environment, so I had to make a video about it
For those who want to learn more about the Aral Sea: For the past 2+ years, our team have been working on a documentary series exploring the past, present, and future of the Aral Sea. The trailer has just gone live on our channel! 🙏
Often the ‘scientists’ come up with brilliant ideas that can change the world for the better, but when the recipients failed to give the ideas proper analysis before their acceptance, the ideas might sometimes (or in most times), hide grisly and deadly monsters in the details. The story of the Arral Sea is a classic example of the idiomatic expression: “the devil is in the details”. Lesson: Mankind must never assume that Science is always absolutely true in all the cases of human intervention.
this was caused by a politician IE Stalin who badly needed foreign currency to prop up the Soviet Union, so it was greed as usual that caused it , Stalin had a dream to turn desert green and grow a valuable cash crop. sure scientists and engineers help him realize that vision but science did not start the plan and nobody went against Stalin science had nothing to do with this
Sounds like Kazakhstan should take over Uzbekistan. Poorly managed country. Those farms can remain while the Aral sea can be restored. 70% of the water is lost before it gets to the cotton farms. If that was fixed both the farms and the lake can exist.
Kazakhstan is currently more competent than Uzbekistan because there are 3 million Russian living there, instead of 700 thousand in Uzbekistan. As kazakhs force russians out if the country they will turn into the same central Asian shithole
Long time no sea
Hahaha!!!!!11!!!1!
I've been overly fascinated with the Aral sea since 2017 when I first saw a video on it.

The trailer looks amazing, looking forward to see more!
@@FactSpark Thank you very much!! 🙏
Interesting to note that despite all the international help and support, Russia who caused this disaster are not mentioned anywhere.
It was the Soviets
Amazing video!
Excellent info, I guess some prudence dawns on Uzbek government. Appreciate your great work, yes I've subscribed your channel 👍
I think they should connect the southern (left) via the mid (barsakelmes) to the north. otherwise southern is going to dryi up completely
I understand the southern sea is now receiving more water and is growing again. I'm surprised that wasn't covered.
Thankyou

not endothermic but endorheic at 3:10 :)
As we used to do with nature, now nature is using us alone. My call to the governments of Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan to save this sea of money.

Aral sea outlasts Soviet Union
Couldn’t they just remove the cotton and the salt there and the water there comes back?
The Uzbeks don't want to give up their cotton fields, and they're now drilling for oil in the salt desert
@@PaulSchober I’m mentioning in the land we’re the sea was lol
@@failisha1786 doesn't matter Afghanistan os now building another canal now uzbekistan wont get much water anymore
This is what happens with Communisum
It’s really sad :(
Ever heard of the Salton Sea?
Water in minecraft😂😂😂😂😂
If at least they had a Greta Tumberg, a Di Caprio and or The Incredible Hulk to save them...
