I am very glad that I watched David Attenborough: A Life on Our Planet (2020) & KISS THE GROUND (2020) before seeing this documentary. They are more general and provided a Problem-Solution approach.

This documentary has done a good job of bringing together locals, advocates and experts from some of the affected areas of the world. The Brazilian Rain Forest scientist is really dedicated and inclusive of all populations. He readily offers up that the native people understood the dynamics of the forest correctly, long before modern science.

NASA satellites are used as a key element to tie together some regions of the world and the whole planet. Coverage is impressive and visually stunning. Overview to specific to connectedness to overview to specific to...

For instance: The Cape Town water shortage footage, interviews, and expert perspectives provided valuable insights to help identify the causes of the problem - Past, Present and Future. Dry reservoir compared to 3 yrs prior was especially interesting to see, up close.

Yet it appears that so many problems exist, without the populations understanding why these issues are happening, that the documentary budgeted it's time to explain many of the problems we face, and so offers few solutions. The American farmer was able to say only one sentence about Regenerative Farming techniques.

I find it appalling that it appears, at this time, that so few people have watched this yet.

As no one is going to do anything about it before it's too late. And it may already be too late. What are we going to tell our grandchildren when the water is all gone? This is frightening viewing and everyone needs to watch this. EVERYONE!

The narrator says, "the farms that use less water cannot satisfy the world's craving for beef and the farms that produce most of the world's beef are killing off the supply of fresh water for everyone". That implies the rest of the world consumes meat at the rate that America does and we don't.

On my first and only visit to America, I ordered pork chops at a Californian cafe in San Francisco. I made the mistake of ordering a full portion because I was jet lagged and hadn't eaten much that day. It turned out that the full portion was not one but two huge pork chops. Anywhere else in the world a full portion would simply be one entire pork chop, not two.

While it is happening across the world, America is still the world leader in consumerism. Americans generally pay less for the same product compared to the rest of the world even though the raw materials come from elsewhere and manufacture takes place in other countries. When it comes to raping its own environment and that of the rest of the world, no other country does it better than the good ole USA.
