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.

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
Constantly with global warming, what about the daming of the inflow rivers and extraction of those waters? What about the fact their own graphs show that it's been shallower in past, bullshit. And the oceans are not rising, no rise not one centimeter in 60 years. Several islands are sinking because they are coral atolls for instance, or groundwater extraction, Indonesia is moving it's capital because Jakarta is sinking. You can look at houses on stilts all over the world, no ocean rise.
Are you comparing the
area of the country?
2:03 wtf dude
canan sea projec
Amazing.İ used some parts for my video.Thanks.
ALL OF THIS IS A LIE!!!! Over use, population explosion and communist mismanagement. Just as the aerial sea was destroyed. Get your facts correct.
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.
thank you for this video
Bullshit. The Soviets were responsible for the environmental destruction of the Aral Sea….the same is for the Caspian. Next you'll say it's Donald Trump
Sky is falling, sky is falling. The end here: come together, oh believers, and trust us and what we cook up to scare you, the gullible. (Never mind, the Caspian levels have risen and fallen since men kept records of it, starting 2600 years ago
Can build canal to link Black Sea, Caspian Sea and Aral sea together
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!
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.
Bro the Caspian Sea has had a rise and fall like 20 times in history
I’m gonna get water and dump it into the caspian!!
Muh climate change 😴
Aral sea is at the next door, we all know the drama involved
It's not enough for the countries involved to take action?
👍
The Caspian is threatened by the callous disregard toward ecological health from the police states that nearly surround this basin. More worried about the hysterical politics from global warming claims.
1850 was the coldest point in 8000 years. We're 1°C above the low point for the last 11,000 years, & 2°C lower than the warmest points. We're in a warming cycle now – that's great for humanity, since the cold kills 10X as many people as the heat, but it does mean an increase in evaporation and a natural shrinkage of the Caspian sea. Most of the reduction in water mass is because of the increased use of the water by the populations on the Caspian's shores. While we have no control over a climate cycle, we do have the power to manage water usage.
WE NEED TO DIG TRENCHES
Aral sea in the making.
Do starfish exist there?
