Depending on the music alone, this video has me like “wow, we humans are pretty incredible” and on the flip side “wow we are so destructive”
-
I wish it was a longer documentary. It's amazing
-
“ this Jumbo jet weights as much as a Jumbo jet “ 😂
-
Whats with the narrator and jumbo jets 😂
-
didnt knew jumbo jet is a mesure unit
-
I was hoping the narrator would say “ this mine is so big it would take 430,000 jumbo jets to fill it up “
-
Call me naive but surely there are more efficient, less destructive, ways of living on earth
-
8,000,000,000 of any species is going to have an effect on its surroundings

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.

13:37 The best cgi in a documentary I’ve ever seen.

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.
-
I live near the Bingham copper mine. There’s a popular 4x4 trail that leads to the view of the open pit mine.

1:09 Each section weighs 1200 tonnes (measurement for normal people), or more than three jumbo jets (for Americans).
