    I played this for my mother. She was quite overwhelmed with emotions as she asked me, "Can we put ice cubes there? A lot of ice cubes? Will they survive?" And I had to explain to her how much energy it will take for the sea, even for a tiny portion of it, to change in slight temperature. How big is the scale of the disaster we are facing right now. How everything is connected. It is a desperate plea that I had to shut down. It is the crushing reality of conservation. How hard it can be. How powerless we feel in the face of short-term profits and politics.
    We fed lies to children about how easy conservation is. They understand a tree is good, but overlooked the biodiversity, how the soil is formed by the pioneer fungus and fern, how big trees can not exist without those soil conditioners. A forest and lives in it can not be made in ten years, and it takes a single night to be destroyed.
    I hate to be cruel.

      @skystygian 2 роки тому +21

      It's not cruel, it's reality. As someone about to get my biology degree I can say I've only become more and more depressed and hopeless though my studies. Sure, we can bring all the attention in the world to climate change and its effects, but no real changes are being made. The fossil fuel industry continues to be funded by the tens of billions and we are ALL indirectly contributing by simply living our lives because of how every single system has been set up for us to survive on, and a few documentaries that will be watched by the relatively powerless people who actually care isn't going to stop that. We need to be targeting this issue politically and financially and on a massive systemic scale. We need more than a few groups and organizations and scientists who are just talking about the numbers and dates and statistics of how we're destroying the ecosystem and companies using their baseless pledges to go "net zero" to entice more customers into feeding the same old destructive systems but thinking they're actually helping. As much as I think these documentaries are important to get more people to be informed and care, I also know that it isn't directly helping, and that's what drives me crazy.

      Richard is correct. It's fine to provoke emotion from your audience but as a public speaker, you do not want to be at the podium and crying. Once he loses composure he would be perceived as inept. I applaud everybody involved in this documentary. I've been interested in the reef keeping hobby since the late 90s and never pulled the trigger... It's was shocking to hear the one quote earlier in the film State that he had never heard of reef only tanks. (Some fish compete for food from corals in an aquarium setting...)
      Anyway, this film had me crying hard for the last 20 minutes of it. It's July 2023, we are in the midst of extinctions... It's sad but here we are. This is way worse than i expected.

Poor self-esteem, drugs, loneliness, and no hopes for the future led me down a path which I was not proud of.

I will graduate next year and I am determined to keep on going till I am able to really make a difference.

The locals had to protect their islands with coral walls in the water, because the natural protection faded away. But they broke healthy corals to build their homes as well. Mankind is just not mature enough to understand. Corals not only keep the water crystal clear, they are habitat for millions of species - and in sense the basis of all life.

      @@johngage5391 And coral thrives in warm water. It is a tropical phenomenon. The Australian Maritime Services report shows record coral growth for the third year in a row. Coral bleaching predominately occurs at shallow levels, involving the type of coral that recycles quickly. Coral bleaching is cyclical. That’s why any “three mass bleaching events” in the past did not stop current record coral levels. And yes, cyclical bleaching means there will come a time over the next decade or two where coral levels will drop again. What we have to be careful of is not attributing cyclical shifts in marine systems to factors that may not be the major issues. Yet there is nothing mentioned about this in the documentary (which I watched in full). It is indeed a very emotional film. But it is deeply misleading, at least as far as the Great Barrier Reef is concerned. I can’t comment on the other coral regions reported in the film. This doesn’t mean that we should not continue to monitor ecological problems in these reefs systems. We absolutely should do that. But these scientists and activists need to make sure they are addressing counter arguments and contradictory data. Otherwise it is a form of misinformation - or disinformation if they publish their work with knowledge of the issues I have raised here.

The torment of nature is one of the only things that makes me cry these days. I have watched many documentaries about all sorts of horrors on our planet and I see a connection between all pain and suffering. All is caused by an unhealthy system that we are all a part of globally. Weather its a job bunrout, a gassed pig, a war or the dying coral and the melting ice caps. Its a sickness thats being spread by our own irresponsibillities and I sincerely hope that it will change and that all parts of life will start to flourish again, because we choose to change and to give back and create life as much as our earth still tries to take care of us.

    My girlfriend is 3 months from her degree in environmental science with a focus on Marine conservation and coral ecology. Her entire passion is saving our oceans (it's what made me ask her out in the first place). This documentary sums it up so perfectly. Too few people, care too little, about one of the world's most important eco systems. And we are within 20 to 30 years of losing them... Entirely. We need a change. Now. Or we won't like what comes.

    The end with the presentation just had me bawling my eyes out... humanity always needs giant catastrophes happening first, only then they will wake up it seems. So many people who have the privilege of not having to live on the street, access to fresh water, a job or are able to live of benefits due to sickness. You can use your problem free time to spent helping the earth you live on. There is so much an indivudal can do.
    Just throwing your trash back at home, not letting anything fall on the ground because you think "that tiny bit of trash won't matter", is one big step in the right direction. That's exactly why the cities are buried in trash lying around, cause everyone thinks "this tiny piece of trash won't matter". Everything gets flushed into rivers, reaching the ocean and polluting it.
    Don't think that your small changes won't matter, because if everyone starts to implement small changes, it will account to a giant change in the world as a whole.

    I was preparing for my exams and had some problem understanding corals. Found this documentary and this is influencing me too hard. Earth is suffering, it is our duty to save it and i will do my best for it now. Netflix, thanks for the eye-opener.

    An immutable & irrefutable fact that we could appreciate its entirety w/o being interrupted its continuity by that annoying ads (or adverts in the UK ) is, w/ no possibility of doubt at all, our immeasurable, luxurious privilege for us. Moreover, let's not overlook that it's available for free on YT at anytime of night & day. Hence, I can't help feeling greatly indebted to you!,,,,,(,01/23/25)
