We watched a documentary on this a few years ago.

Humans should be so proud of what we able to do to ruin the planet.

As Rareboy says, there was a BBC documentary about this a few years ago. Another ecological disaster that I can think about was the draining of the marshes in Iraq where thousands of marsh Arabs made their living, by the orders of Saadam Hussein. After his downfall some attempt was made to remedy the damage but what has happened to it now I don't know.

this reminds me of an article I read about Warka Water. it's an invention that pulls water out of the air, which is being sent to African villages where water is not easily accessible. it's easy to build and cost a lot lest than other solutions.

Aww. That is so sad! I wouldn't call it people's stupidity though. Not this, or the others on the other thread. It sounds more like greed and power were the culprits. Sad
