I wish it was a longer documentary. It's amazing
This was so good!
I think these are cuts from separate documentaries
One is «Supersized Earth»
Call me naive but surely there are more efficient, less destructive, ways of living on earth
yeah go live in caves in the jungle.
Not for 8 billion people.
@@user-sd3ik9rt6d Yup. Overpopulation is the nr 1 problem, that will sadly never be addressed by peaceful means I think
Set aside a large portion of Australia's desert, and it can provide resources for almost everyone, then other continents can be densely populated without too much issue.
Yes there are. But very suspiciously the west has just thought of that. After of course the industrial revolutions and ruthless exploiment of the poorer countries of the world.
“ this Jumbo jet weights as much as a Jumbo jet “ 😂
"This jumbo jet weight as much as 3 football fields or 7 cubic meters of water"
1 jumbo jet unit = 1 juju 😊
A documentary trope whose time came and went long ago
About 20 hectares worth of corn
Whats with the narrator and jumbo jets 😂
What?, I go to groceries and I ask .01215% of the weight of a jumbo jet of potatoes
@@JP-xd6fm that's alot of potatoes... assuming you mean 0.01215% that's still 1,105.65 lbs or 501.5 kg... what are you feeding a small army?
@@davidpugh8772 I think you have your numbers wrong, is 5kg approx
Hahahaha I thought the same 😅😂
@JP-xd6fm a jumbo jet is approximately 901,000 lbs from the googling I did
Edit: I just realized that that's of a Boeing 747-400
A 747 jumbo jet is 412k lbs or 187k kgs which would be 504 lbs of potatoes or 228 kgs
A Boeing 737-800 is 91k lbs or 41k kgs which would be 110 lbs potatoes or 49.9 kgs
didnt knew jumbo jet is a mesure unit
Also a mode of travel and a weight unit
For American audience ofc
Add football fields too
With school bus
For some reason you guys will use anything but km, meter and centimeters, the funny thing is that in my experience some fools think they are smarter for it. 😂😂😂
I was hoping the narrator would say “ this mine is so big it would take 430,000 jumbo jets to fill it up “
The narrator is not an american...only us stupid americans use that silly shit to measure lol
😂
😂😂
Or two million Olympic size swimming pools
How many football fields will fill it? 😂
it's funny how we can literally create rivers out of nothing, move mountains, pump more sewage uphill than water that flows over Niagara falls, and build ships that are bigger than city blocks, and yet some people still cling to the argument that climate change can't be man made because we couldn't make a big enough difference to impact the overall climate. We aren't just changing the climate, there is almost no part of the surface of this planet that hasn't been changed in some way by our presence, and the scope and scale is ever increasing. It's both impressive and terrifying.
I totally agree it's very intriguing but also quite scary knowing we are constantly pushing earth and nature to the brink with each passing generation and there is no end in sight. There will probably come a day where we will see no more greenery on earth besides protected areas
Because of the fact that it’s not profitable to do so.
I guarantee that will be the case just as soon as someone can be a billionaire from it.
We can't and won't ever change the climate, ask the UAE what happens when they think they can always make their own rains etc. We can do most things as long as we know our limits and still respect God and nature, if we push over those limits, God will surely respond.
On Earth, at night you can see city lights lightning up the entire span of geography.
When you figure out that the problem isnt the co2 we produce but the oxygen we burn, it starts to make sense.
And given its plumiting while the rich consume most of it with their lifestyle, is why oxygen is never spoken about. Not by govenments, scientists, media and the followers that parrot them.
8,000,000,000 of any species is going to have an effect on its surroundings

@@jeremielebrun3637 Birth-rate decline?
We work around the problems, not through them. Many habitats, animals and people are lost along the way, but at some point we might get our act together :) Nature will recover too, but earth itself destroys its own bio-dome many times over, with or without us on it. Been 6+ extinction level events they say,... so you wanna cry for every species that every was. We have our time now. Enjoy it.
@@Eco-VillePatagoniaChile not every species, just the ones I saw disappear.
when you lose someone you love, thinking of how many people die every day is a shitty consolation, but if it works for you, that's fine, you're lucky.
btw, what you call "working aronund a problem" often creates two new ones.
@@Eco-VillePatagoniaChile any species of plant or animal which goes extinct causes an issue in the ecosystem. Humans are the only species , if and when it goes extinct , the earth ecosystem will flourish. Humans were given a reasoning ability with consciousness for a reason but humans always choose greed & selfishness over togetherness. Karma is the law of the universe. “As u sow, so shall u reap”
13:37 The best cgi in a documentary I’ve ever seen.
Seriously jaw-dropping 😮
Not hard to see how we f'ed this planet up really!
The sun will eventually swallow it up.

"The power and precision of these machines are awe-inspiring!"
So is the destruction
Wish the segments were longer. Great documentary
2:40 - "You... do something so you look productive... I don't care if you hit a block of wood with a stick"
Still could be something, countless time I've met someone having the oddest, the most brute-force method to 'fix' something and end up working perfectly fine. We'll never know the situation unless we're in their position.
@@passbyicecube watched it again.. nope... still someone beating a block of wood with a stick...
@@nooneyouknow4312 Look at the left side, there's like 2 more L wooden frames there. Who know, could be the frame doesn't a line for concrete related stuff, so fix it with uga bunga.
I ... don't wanna work. I just wanna bang on my stick all day!
removing dried cement from wooden mold perhaps
6:52 Make it sound dramatic at all cost😂
humans make everything in their favour, even if it is not
That Bingham open put mine is known now as the Rio Tinto Kennecott Coper Mine here in the state if Utah.
It can easily be seen from space.
Wow that’s crazy man !
6:52 Mexico needs to put a conveyor belt that's metal mesh in front of the clog, so it constantly filters trash from water. the conveyor would lead up out of the water into a dumpster. it could run on solar. come on guys.
Wow! How do you come up with such ideas
@@IliadDreyfus-js9oe Go to Mexico and tell them my idea. It'll be good for you.
what happens when it breaks down? who's paying for it? who's taking the trash away?
@@ASlickNamedPimpback City council has considered all points of view and has concluded the following. 1)@IliadDreyingame will be sent wearing nothing but a speedo to collect trash (in the dirty water) while the cities maintenance team fixes any issues.
2) The city's transportation department, on a weekly basis, will move these dumpsters to the local landfill where the trash will be burned to create electricity for the local towns people.
3) All electricity made will be sold to electrical companies offsetting any costs.
I live near the Bingham copper mine. There’s a popular 4x4 trail that leads to the view of the open pit mine.
I lived in West Jordan and South Jordan, kinda sad the mountains are carved into.
Yeah but we gotta get the stuff for our phones n houses somewhere lol.
That meteor that's heading to earth can't get here quick enough.
1:09 Each section weighs 1200 tonnes (measurement for normal people), or more than three jumbo jets (for Americans).
lol nice one
How many burgers though
The “ Tube” is amazing
Projects like this aqueduct will become more and more necessary in Europe as well to transport collected rain water from rain rich areas to drying up areas, like from the north of Spain to the south (additional aqueducts to the already existing system), or from western Germany to easter and southeastern Germany.
Pipelines are Better!
@@lokesh303101 Agreed. I just meant the general nature of aqueducts/water transfer systems to get rain excess from one region to other regions.
@@lokesh303101lol, the open aquaduct means to capture rain water also, with pipelines you waste those resource
Humans or greedy corporations?
They are humans ultimately and we shouldn't segregate them because they stem from and comprise the same society that we are a part of and make up together although some people have some qualities in some extremes, all of us possess both positive and negative qualities but vary in the level or degree amongst all of us.

That whole they dug out, will become a story of where an asteroid hit earth wiping out all the animals lol
Pretty sure if they know the concept, they'll be looking for splash damage and molten rock like glass everywhere, so no :)

Watching this captivating journey through humanity's transformative impact on our planet leaves me awestruck and introspective. From the sprawling metropolises we've crafted to the monumental engineering feats altering Earth's very rotation, every frame is a testament to our ingenuity, ambition, and responsibility. It's a reminder that with great power comes great accountability, urging us to tread more thoughtfully as stewards of this magnificent planet.

I had no idea S.Korea constructs so many container ships. 100 a year is insane, they must be making huge amounts of cash.
Reminds me of th-cam.com/video/cntb3wcZdTw/w-d-xo.html
Yes they make a lot of money because they are efficient but not that much money for their hard work since their margins are so low, ≈ 98% of their money just goes away because to buy the materials, machinery and pay their employees and more.
China constructed even more container ships, because they currently had the largest shipbuilding industry in the world.

They're brave after what America did to the previous largest man made waterway in Libya! Its getting flattened is all I'm saying.
Because they tapped into pri.ary water source. That source is not supposed to exist
Because it was basically an act of terrorism against neighbouring countries by stealing and controlling their access to water.
Aqueducts are very impressive examples of the art of construction in the Roman Empire. Even today, they still provide us with new insights into aesthetic, practical, and technical aspects of construction and use. Scientists investigated the longest aqueduct of the time, the 426-kilometer-long Aqueduct of Valens supplying Constantinople, and revealed new insights into how this structure was maintained back in time.
