The shrinking Caspian Sea

The world's largest lake is drying up dramatically. While most of the world is experiencing sea level rise in coastal areas, the opposite is true for the Caspian Sea. cna.asia/3UoPRPv

Hi from KZ. Don't worry. The Caspian Sea "breathes" - the fluctuations of the Caspian sea level are a well known natural process. The Caspian Sea level raises and drops every like 10-15-20 years.

[@Kiyoone]

Yet, they are EAGER to blame it on the famous WEF agenda called "climate crisis"

[@BlueHen123]

Excellent report! Thank you for bringing this to attention! -From California

Pentagon knows this, my dear. 😂

Aral Sea was sacrificed to cotton, with Amu and Sur Darya diverted. Caspian is a terminal lake, the "big fish overexploited by the fishermen. Where is the Volga being diverted? Do the Urals have less snow depth than past? Where I live, on the Pacific, the flat delta of the near large river, with paved roads running out to the shore, and old farms, NOW commonly inundated during seasons when rains inland the reduced pressure during ocean storms, and se level perhaps 4 inches to 6 inches higher than 20th century. It can ALL be traced to humans modifying the environment, causing both global heating - there goes the Caspian, and destruction of watercourse and estuaries, there goes the Caspian. In Norht America TWO HUGE periodic lakes appearing for decades to centuries, and disappearing at the same temporal scale, have been prevented from existing by human diversion, channeling, , along with another huge lake, which is one of three large terminal lakes in ADDITION to the two i mention as periodic. The Arabs bought land and water rights in the USA - too many Arabs exist due to too much money creating De Facto HUGE colonies in the desert- UAE, Dubai, and other enclaves that WOULD NOT EXIST were it not for international fossil fuel extraction, transport, and distant consumption. Imagine how much war, invasion, devastation, violent terrorism would be cured were this practice ONLY be ceased. NO leaks of microtech to russian weapons, to commit the atrocities of Ukraine invasion, No exorbitant oligarch money turning the world into Naziism Part 2. I have been witness to multiple bird flocks feeding, so thickly that bright large human sails could not be SEEN only 100 meters away. I have witnessed shoals of fish on coral reefs so thick that nothing could be seen other than reef and fish. This, still extant in a few regions NOT exploited by humans is globally threatened. SO ARE the 550 lb reef fish actually common and recorded in my childhood, but devastated by human taking. NOW the very tropical seas (and tropics are where MOST humans LIVE) look like ponds when measured by fish size. NO large species (over 20Kg) EVER approached humans in number. It is THIS that is the fundamental problem. Only the brains evolved to respond to habitat exceeding carrying capacity - PRECEDED by recognition of social carrying capacity, have adapted as they once did only locally, by reducing reproduction. But the amelioration will take until past 2060 to 2100 ce, in order to make the turnaround to return to submaximal populations, JUST AS THEY DO IN EVERY NATURAL ECOSYSTEM AND HABITAT LOCALE> Our lifetimes , through which we erroneously gauge time, do NOT differ in cycles from bacteria when overreproducing in a local habitat. The Part 2 Nazis, however, include the forced reproduction through control of female choice. That issue , and its cruelty, is momentary phenomenon when looked at through an only slightly longer time lens. Diversity CANNOT be impeded - when one species overreproduces and stamps out others, niches and opportunities CONTINUE. Communicable disease, IS on the rise, with old and novel microorganisms, from monkeypox and other STDs to incessantly emerging viruses, and even increased incidence of infectious misfolded proteins, taking the place of insufficiently controlled human populations.We believe that we extinguish predators from our arrogated habitat[s], while others, however small arise. Predators are ESSENTIAL to living habitats and ecosystems. Humans are nothing more than mid-trophic level omnivores, who cannot even eat teh carrion they cause. Neither are you Elon Musks with delusions of escaping to simple nonviable colonies on some other planet.

Those people are frightening.

Loved the white car at 2:16.

[@KMLogKM]

Caspain sea is beautiful sea I like it I been there😅

[@HKim0072]

Well, it will make oil and gas exploration easier.

[@rodriguesforbes8841]

Grow plenty of trees. Make progress in farming

[@kongthai..]

Ah! CNA got it. Caspian sea, Aral sea is important. This two seas irrigates Central Asia and Iran. The Russian Federation has the Urals and Black Sea to benefit and draws this region into it's sphere of influence. Most would have realised it. Solution, CANALS, a big power has proposed this already. 😂❤

[@pehclark7256]

Due to Russian Volga river dams that restricted inflow into the caspian seas. Much like how the Himalyan water was hijacked for hydro electric that affected the Mekong river and the Ganges river

[@diva555sg]

This will not be the only sea.

Keep dredging. It's done all over. The practice should be followed on routine basis.

[@markbrinton6790]

That won't solve a single thing.

[@LonganLee]

Why not use this to introduce more tax citing climate change?

[@olive-ddhlovemap]

There is a TV drama in China called 'Survival of Migrant Workers', which is the real happiness situation of the Chinese people

[@Kiyoone]

live in a coastal area for more than 30 years and it have shown NO signs of "SEA RISING" Ya'll should get the facts together because sinking/eroding soils ≠ sea rising

[@Dqtube]

The facts are simple. There is now more water in the oceans. The reasons for this are: 1) Snowfall does not deposit the amount that melts from glaciers. 2) Inland waters, such as the Caspian Sea, evaporate faster. 3) People are withdrawing more groundwater than can soak into deep aquifers. For this reason, deeper wells need to be drilled in some regions.
