What’s Behind Kazakhstan and Mauritania’s Ship Graveyards? | SLICE EARTH | FULL DOCUMENTARY

[@ivolol]

"In the countries around it..." You mean Russia/USSR. Russia drained the Aral sea.

[@tireballastserviceofflorid7771]

EXACTLY what I was going to say. Also the point I stopped watching.

[@yt.damian]

Without putting too fine a point on it - the waters that were diverted remain in the same countries as the Aral sea. They could put the water back...

[@boathemian7694]

[@yt.damian]

@@boathemian7694 so we went from blaming communism for the problem to blaming capitalism?

[@boathemian7694]

@@yt.damian well communism never existed, but a rather sloppy state socialist system known as the USSR did become the showpiece of unrestrained predatory capitalism didn’t it?

[@alanduncan9204]

Lake Chad and also Salt lake in Utah are other examples of water sources being diverted away from the lakes themselves. The Salt lake has 11 rivers being used for industrial and domestic use diverted away from flowing into and preserving the levels. Chad mostly has the water run off for agriculture. But instead of telling the truth it is all blamed on global boiling B.S.

[@tylernathan7985]

Wrong. Great salt lake was salty before white folks got there

You mean that the Soviet drained the rivers feeding the Aral sea to farm cotton and completely stuffed the environment of a gigantic area.

[@Kiyoone]

Do you even KNOW where Mauritania is? Or you are really stupid bot? AH!! Must be american!! AM I RIGHT?

[@matthewgibbs6886]

kinda like we did to the salton

[@jackdbur]

@@matthewgibbs6886 the Salton sea was created by 2 years of flow of the entire Colorado River into it in 1905 to 1907 by a unauthorised canal & a continual use of flood irrigation. Before that it had been a salt flat.

[@yt.damian]

@@jackdbur and before that it was a lake.

[@interislandtv9721]

Very nice video bro 👍

[@damoncampbell386]

“Extreme Climate” being the climate of the USSR diverting the water away from the Aral Sea to use in farming. If only “climate change” had not diverted the water away from that sea, it would still be a sea rather than a wasteland.

A ship left aground due to the water going away is not, technically, a wreck.

It becomes one if it's been there long enough.

I worked in Mauritania for three years and this is a tragedy the offshore fishing industry was out of control, at one stage there was a 400 bed hospital ship cruising off the coast just to service the injuries for one European fishing country.

The vid with its current script/narration can be ported to Chinese and Russian versions of KZbin. If the script slotted the true villain, the producers would lose access to those markets (and revenue). They know what they’re doing.

[@RogowskiBubba0864]

Interesting video, it's nice to help other people but why do EU-taxpayers have to pay to clean up the mess of old fishing boats from others? What is the benefit for Europe?

[@kloppskalli]

the EU got sth in return for sure. Fishing rights. Gas deals. Etc.

[@timlambert5165]

Besides,Europe owes the world clean up of excessive messes world wide

[@prunar]

Helping a country like Mauritania clean up with an eye towards building more sustainable tourism is a win-win

[@MutantMycology]

The Benifits for Europe are immeasurable. You gain fishing rights. We all get cleaner water,you strengthen ties to a foreign country. The narrow mindedness of the right is comical. You all think that you don’t depend on small countries like this for the luxuries that you take for granted everyday. Globalism is responsible for most of these luxuries. Go join an isolationist country like North Korea. And watch your lifestyle dissolve before your eyes. Access to the world is key to your lifestyle.

[@070783tut]

Yes, it may well sound harsh. This is not an area in the EU. I do not see why my money that I pay in taxes should be used to clean up that area. That's not my problem. It's not me who created it, they created it, their problem. Then they also have to pay for it themselves. Yes, it may well be, polluting that area is still not my problem. My tax money should not be spent on cleaning up another man's country. (fuck the EU)

[@matthewgibbs6886]

easy answer they pay the company million of euros and that company pays the locals 10k euros to do the job age old grift
