Day Zero

But I doubt if we Humans will take it seriously, the Water shortages continue to get worse yet people are quadrupling the World population and remain in denial, even though there are all these shortages of land and water the Human population continues to explode, Humanity is moving towards the edge of the Cliff, we have gone to far in one direction to go back, the best we can hope for is a large rock hitting Earth and starting over, we are a failed species on Earth, we deluded ourselves into thinking we were the most Intelligent Species on the Planet, This is not intelligence at work. During the commercial breaks I couldn't believe some of the Commercials they allowed, one Woman had 8 children and was in labor with her 9th baby, this does not make sense to run a commercial during Day Zero when the Earth is massively overpopulated with Humans and Water and Land is disappearing at a rapid rate, 80% of the Land is being used by Humans in Africa to grow food, that leaves no room for Africa's Animals, plus we are destroying plant species at the same rate, I could talk to people about it but their more interested in going shopping at Kohls or wherever, people want to stay in denial, it's easier and softer!

I am very glad that I watched David Attenborough: A Life on Our Planet (2020) & KISS THE GROUND (2020) before seeing this documentary. They are more general and provided a Problem-Solution approach.

This documentary has done a good job of bringing together locals, advocates and experts from some of the affected areas of the world. The Brazilian Rain Forest scientist is really dedicated and inclusive of all populations. He readily offers up that the native people understood the dynamics of the forest correctly, long before modern science.

NASA satellites are used as a key element to tie together some regions of the world and the whole planet. Coverage is impressive and visually stunning. Overview to specific to connectedness to overview to specific to...

For instance: The Cape Town water shortage footage, interviews, and expert perspectives provided valuable insights to help identify the causes of the problem - Past, Present and Future. Dry reservoir compared to 3 yrs prior was especially interesting to see, up close.

Yet it appears that so many problems exist, without the populations understanding why these issues are happening, that the documentary budgeted it's time to explain many of the problems we face, and so offers few solutions. The American farmer was able to say only one sentence about Regenerative Farming techniques.

All the water consumed on earth returns to the earth through the natural evaporation cycle. We all learned this in elementary school.

Also, here's a line copied from Wikipedia: "While it is difficult to estimate the total water content of the mantle due to limited samples, approximately three times the mass of the Earth's oceans could be stored there. Similarly, the Earth's core could contain four to five oceans' worth of hydrogen." These films are produced by simple minded producers to scare the population. Don't just believe them, do your own investigations.

Think about all the scams being pushed now days.

The narrator says, "the farms that use less water cannot satisfy the world's craving for beef and the farms that produce most of the world's beef are killing off the supply of fresh water for everyone". That implies the rest of the world consumes meat at the rate that America does and we don't.

On my first and only visit to America, I ordered pork chops at a Californian cafe in San Francisco. I made the mistake of ordering a full portion because I was jet lagged and hadn't eaten much that day. It turned out that the full portion was not one but two huge pork chops. Anywhere else in the world a full portion would simply be one entire pork chop, not two.

While it is happening across the world, America is still the world leader in consumerism. Americans generally pay less for the same product compared to the rest of the world even though the raw materials come from elsewhere and manufacture takes place in other countries. When it comes to raping its own environment and that of the rest of the world, no other country does it better than the good ole USA.

While most of what was presented in this documentary is true the way they did it reminded me of old school propaganda videos I'm not sure if this documentary had a proper script or not what we got is a rant by that swedish girl who cried about stuff without any life experience, what is true is parts of the world are growing and drinking water will become much more expensive that's nothing new this documentaries author has nothing more than it's your fault, I recently watched another documentary called river about water and that one was both aye opening and good avoid this political propaganda.
