The Caspian Sea is facing an Ecological Disaster!

The Caspian Sea is facing an ecological catastrophe, on the border of Europe and Asia its water levels have fallen into an accelerating plummet which may see the water level fall by op to 20 meters by 2100.

Interesting, I knew of the Aral Sea disappearing, but I wasn't aware that the Caspian sea was evaporating, good video!

[@JG_Online1]

Yup, alot of the worlds endorheic lakes are facing a similar fate this century sadly.

[@Briandacunos]

Aral sea is way way smaller than Caspian sea so it will do way more damage probably

[@ZRHTrainspotter]

These cities along the caspian live from tourism, fishing and oil. If it dries up, goodbye. Ive been in Aktau, such a beautiful city. Stayed at a beachside resort, it felt like being on the Mediterranean and not a lake. So sad to see this

[@JG-vh6oy]

You mention the previous oscillations in the Caspian’s water level and go on to claim that the current iteration of this is “different this time [because of man-made] climate change” yet I don’t see how. Sure, the species present in the region have been put under greater pressure due to human activity, however, the changing water level itself is an ongoing phenomena which they have thus far been able to cope with

[@essjay26]

Those were my thoughts, it's been changing since humans were around to notice, but muh climate change.

[@baseballworldwide9439]

Thank you for being sane. As someone who has a STEM degree, trust me when I say there's many "experts" I know personally that don't agree with the "established science" that this is entirely due to anthropogenic causes. It isn't

[@solusviator2283]

You are wrong. Climate change is NOT a main reason. The Caspian disaster is mostly done in the same way as Aral disaster. By human water consumption sensu largo. There are 100 million people living in The Caspian basin and the water from rivers is used for agriculture and industrialization of the area. See how many power plants and artificial lakes have been built on Volga river alone! In effect of human activity the fresh water flow to the sea decreased by 30%. THAT is the Reason of the Caspian shrinking. This is simple rerun of Aral's Sea disaster! The same way!

[@basedarsonist]

What does 'sensu largo' mean?

[@user-oj8sh7ur4x]

Brother that just helping hand not the main reason

[@craftscute]

Why don't they channel nearest seawater and make hydroelectricity spilling the water on the Caspian sea.

The Caspian is such an interesting area; it's a shame it will start to dry up. Loved the video.

Can build canal to link Black Sea, Caspian Sea and Aral sea together

that would probably destroy thousands of ecosystems

Thanks for the visit

With issues like this, human populations are often overlooked. Sadly this video largely does the same, and the sad truth is people can't care that much about random animals they see everyday when they have their own lives to worry about. This is why climate activism is so out of touch and rejected by so many, because it's not about the people, it's about protecting animals so wealthy tourists can have something to ogle at and then promptly forget about when they've gotten their ego boost for doing something "good." That being said, If the Caspian Sea looses that water, than all those cities you mentioned (and countless towns and villages, as well as the land for hundreds of miles around) will basically be rendered uninhabitable. Massive economic and social collapse, guaranteed refugee crisis disrupting comparatively stable Central Asia, famine and starvation along the coasts, entire regions being swallowed by deserts, potential collapse of several surrounding nations, the list goes on. Those consequences trump saving seals and snails, every time.

[@lsf698]

Did you watch the same vide I did? Beacuse he talked quite a bit about the problems for the cities and its inhabitants if Caspian Sea dries that much.

[@MatthewMcVeagh]

Caring about animals is not some inaccurate stereotype of wealthy tourism. It's because we actually want the animals and their species and ecosystems to survive, whether we visit the area or not.

I notice my favorite lake the Aral Sea keeps disappearing a lot

Aral sea is at the next door, we all know the drama involved It's not enough for the countries involved to take action?

Can't you reupload all of your deleted/privated videos on an alt account so you wouldn't have to worry about getting demonetized ,and if you don't have another alt you can make one.

I could but Id rather focus on making new content than staying stuck in the past!

[@ggggggg4327]

If the water level is dropping it is cause Iran as i personally know has so many dams before the lakes enter caspian sea, and if you count the volume of that water and the water stored behind russias dams plus other countries which i dont know about which have dams for sure the caspian sea would be atleast 8 meters higher( its just assuming, "not science behind it") but really it is sick that they can sink us who live on the border. 😿

[@dariuslankarian3282]

Iran has no rivers flowing to Caspian sea. It's Russia and Republic of Azerbaijan which have rivers flowing to Caspian.

[@user-oj8sh7ur4x]

Are you sure brother? You know how much water we are talking about? Dams are just small proportion of it

[@frankanddanasnyder3272]

Learn some Earth History before spouting off about an ecological disaster in the Caspian Sea. The level of the Caspian Sea has fluctuated by more than 198 meters over the last 60,000 years due to the Earth's glacial cycles. The level was 51 meters lower than today at the end of the last glaciation and 143 meters lower at the peak of the last glaciation. It has also been up to 55 meters higher than the current level. Life in the sea obviously has adapted and survived.

[@Franklin-pc3xd]

Sounds like some exciting changes coming - some good, some not so good, but none of it due to manmade causes as demonstrated in the video - "..the Caspian is no stranger to wide fluctuations of it's levels..'" Change is a good thing, not a bad thing. Change is what makes the world go round, literally, and the world going round makes more change. This fellow narrating the video reminds me of my old gramps who would sit therer with his fly open and his dentures chattering, repeating over and over again the same lements about how things are changing, and the world is ending and the this is all horrible and when he was a kid thing were better - yadayadayada..... Anyway, we loved gramps but it was okay when he passed away finally and we didn't have to listen to that BS, which all turned out to be wrong.... it turned out he was just yapping about it to get attention - just like our little old chihuahua runs around yipping and yapping for attention. Anyway, JG, take your pick - you're either a crotchety old man or a little mouse doggie - yipping and yapping for attention.
