  • @MrClanzO too late

  • Such beauty, such awe

    FUCK YOU BP (or should I say BS)

  • BP, snicker. You dolt.

  • Hmmm, I don´t think that mankind will harm the structure of water itself...

    ...

    ...

    at least.

  • #OMG film super watсh online or clownload роор.su

  •  #OMG clownload movie роор.su

  • Jodie Foster?

  • Comment removed

  • We have gone far and wide into space and yet know only a part of the ocean.

  • you would see "RULO WAS HERE" and you will be happy!!!

  • this is like a horror movie for me

  • por esto no como animalitos del mar

  • youtube.com/watch?v=PKEZ9QbV9_­A

  • i love earth

  • the fella talkin in  tis video is gayyyyyyyyyyy

  • @BIGWORM2k9 and you too for know that!!! 

  • we are just a minor degeneration but like to think otherwise

  • bullshit, the nature restores itself without giving a rats ass about us

  • @FesteredBastard and we don't give a rats ass about nature , seems fair enough don't you think (extreme sarcasme in my voice)

  • Gasoline is fucking us up ---

  • lets not blame BP or whatsoever

    blame ourselves!

    we are responsible for all these!

    I love our planet!

  • @nermitsingh don't say that everyone is responsible for all this ... Some people out there don't eat sea food and takes care of the world ! And we should blame BP ! And I love our planet too !

  • Humanities destruction is inevitable.....

  • Thanks for reminding me that BP is ruining my planet.

  • @eggbaax its not just BP, but the human race

  • luv the ocean & also very respect professional humans exploring/saving the ocean

  • Humans are not virus, they are more like robots. Built at birth and programmed to act how they do today. No feelings, only an empty shell pretending to have them. The only upside is the small chance that some of them might break free of outside control and achieve actual freedom and sentience.

  • @Antivenger But isn't that what all life is? Is not every lifeform on earth built at birth and bound by instinct? And what are feelings? Who can say that feelings exist other than chemically? Does actual free will exist? Once we answer these questions then we can say whether we're viruses or robots or w/e.

  • @kaiuycn

    Is not every lifeform on earth built at birth and bound by instinct?

    Yes

    And what are feelings?

    To feel and recognise emotions

    Who can say that feelings exist other than chemically?

    Anyone who has proof or disregards the lack thereof.

    Does actual free will exist?

    Yeah, unless you believe in god. If so you're just a puppet

  • @Antivenger those were rhetorical questions...

  • @kaiuycn i know

    

  • the ocean is my soul- its so beautiful and we know so little about it i love the ocean marine life it unbelievable how much life lives in the ocean and we still have more to discover!

  • 4:18 - 4:22 :S creepy..

  • 4:10 sounds like a certain Halo 2 sound track.

  • @ROBLOXBioSniper No it doesnt sound like halo, Now get the fuck off roblox NOW

  • Humans are a virus, we consume every available resource then move on. Just like a virus, once we're done with Earth we'll simply find a new planet, while all other life must pay for it. :)

  • Matrix Quote?

  • Somewhat

  • @Arnebananlolo You really think it's that simple? "simply find a new planet"? No friend, it's not. As soon as human kind finishes destroying our planet, we'll be dead, left with nothing.

  • @Arnebananlolo But that's what every lifeform does if it can! EVERY lifeform has the same needs as us, its just that we humans are BETTER at satisfying those needs!

  • planet earth pisses on this.

    just joking, this is good.

  • Final Fantasy VII lol

  • thats the beauty of earth, if the oil plastic will be stoped the air will be so clear and everything will be ok.

    we need to take care to our inviermnt and stop trrowing garrbage and use objects that not damage the earth, every one can me a change it's up to us if we want to stay on this planet, earth will be ok even if all humans will die the earth will survive and in million years there will be other forms of spiceis that will enjoy it.!!!!!!!

  • Why is your spelling so bad? inviermnt? trrowing? garrbage? spiceis?

  • never mind the spelling its the motion in the ocean:)

  • @otti611

    we also need to stop breeding so much. 50 years ago, when it was only 3 billion people, it was a hell of a lot easyer to manage the envirnment then now, with 6,8 billion. People ened to be educated. Im all for sterilizing some people

  • It's so sad, we're killing her.....or it or he, but either way, it's still not fair to the fish(and mammals) and the oceans.

  • MAKES ME FEEL GOOD

  • WHO IS THE NARRATOR

  • because she is life giving. :)

  • We humans are afraid of Aliens invade earth, but if Aliens do exist , you what they will think of us human? They probably say "DISGUSTING EARTHNIES" don't even come near us.

  • disgusting earthnies HAHAHA thats gold!

  • I love the Ocean - so magnificent mysterious and beautiful.

  • @zenforaday

    agree !

  • @zenforaday <==look at this fruitcake

  • @zenforaday and how

  • someday nature will make revenge against to us, nature can destroy us just an hour and we will experience the most terrible thing in our human history!

  • GO EARTH> wipe people out of the earth. you created us, gaved us food and water, oxygen and everything we needed, now we pollute you , we destroy ,kill and make extinct other life species ,, :'( sorry earth

  • this ladies voice irks me for whatever reason

    i don't know how one would reverse mercury that has been dumped and capped

    have fun in your mansion near the water..just remember that the water isn't what it should be

  • its the truth

  • long way to go

  • but i know whe can make a difference in our ONLY HOME in the who solarsystem. its our only home we have to live on! so make sure that u make a change so we can accually LIVE on this wonderfull Earth. we CAN make a difference to our home. The earth is hurting... lets give her a break and help her out. :) thank-you.

  • why the earth is she?

  • Mother Earth, Gaia, Terra. All of them are names for our planet, all of them are also feminine names.

  • Mother Earth and Father Sky.

    You really have a problem to understand the metaphor?

    The Earth is she, because the Female gives birth. Earth produces life.

    In the image of god, humanity has become a killer monster that has lost his mind. Why would any Alien life form want to associate with such this crazy creature who is in self-destructive mode, destroying his own environment?

  • in the image of god, yeah, god just a imagination by you and some creatures like you.

    you watch too much crazy movies....

  • System A

    There are 5 billion creatures walking this Earth believing they are the image of their god. In the name of this delusion they justify their irrational in many cases insane self-destructive behaviour.

    System B

    The metaphor of describing life on Earth: Mother Earth as the Female Component of life and Father Sky as the Male component of life is Not Part of their values.

    A does Not Mix with B:

    A beliefs as a copy of god it dominates ruthlessly.

    B beliefs to be part of the Earth/Sky.

  • wrong!!!

    A and B can be mix, they are the most perfect match in the universe.

    A = Asshole

    B = Bitch

  • You need some prozac

  • i need some protein instead

  • tecnicly, we are accually killing ourselves and our world. you know why? in my point of veiw, we are killing ourselves and the world by throwing our garbage in the oceans, making the atmosphere hard to live. also now the poles of the earth are melting, and polar bears are dying! by the time of 2012 our worl is in danger. the polarice caps will afficially melt, or shift and all of mankind will dround, or out of knowhere die becausse of teh polar ice caps. and i know it is global warming already

  • i thought i was watching something exciting, happy, and epic, and then i got to the end and now i just feel sad and gloomy :( good video though! just wasnt expecting to want to kill myself afterwards. hahaha. just kidding.

  • water arobics  2:49

  • Music is too loud,,,

  • turn it down jackass.. ;) no offence

  • lol whata name ^_^

  • We need to start treating this planet as our garden home. It is our responsibility as the dominant species on the planet to take care of the rest. We're the only creature on the planet that can.

    If we can drag tons of fish off the ocean floor, then we can drag tons of plastic out of the water too. If we can build giant factories to pollute the water, we can build giant tanks to purify that water too.

    We already have the answers, we just don't like them, because they're inconvenient.

  • IS TRUE MAN I GREE WITH U

  • I'm sure there are lots of people who feel the same way that we do. But here we are stuck in a system that's a well oiled instrument of destruction as far as our planet or species is concerned.

    Some people argue that a mass culling of humans is needed to bring things back into balance. I think that if we used the tech at our disposal, and started treating the whole planet as our home, instead of just our houses. We'd see a big change.

  • The technology needed to fix the worlds problems is in our hands. The trick is to convince all those people who are making lots of money doing things the wrong way to start doing things the right way. The way we should have been doing things since we first discovered what kind of effect we're having on the oceans.

    We have no need to hunt for food, we can cultivate everything we need. We can raise fish, the same way we do cows.

    It would create more jobs in this challenged economy as well.

  • You're wrong, Earth was made for mankind. Modern man has taken more than what it needs from the environment, that's why we are facing all these problems. The Earth was made for man, but man has exploited it.

  • So true.

  • if the earth dies its reborn again but the human race or the creatures that live here will probably be living in water.

  • I JUST HATE of what we have made of this Earth!! We are polluting it and its dying!!

  • dude the earth is not dying, maybe we're digging out own grave? yes, but the planet will survive us.

  • Perhaps, but we have caused the extinction of thousands of species on this planet since we arrived. Not just animal species but plants as well. We'd punched a hole in the atmosphere as well.

    Whether or not you believe we are killing the planet, we've done our share of damage. We've killed many a living thing here, and we may some day find ourselves on that list.

    whether the earth or we die first, the outcome is the same as far as humans are concerned.

    Neither is acceptable in my opinion.

  • Your right :)

  • I think the current estimate is 97% of the species that have ever existed are currently extinct...and that is not because of human beings.

    Species died out before "naturally" and they will continue to do so.

    If you believe we came from nature, then you know we are part of the process, there is no such thing as "manmade" it's all just "nature". You imply distinction when none exists, unless we're talking divine.

  • Yes many species became extince before human beings started harvesting every resource this planet has to offer us.

    I don't question that we are part of the Earth's "process". However, humans have a unique and undeniable atvantage compared to the other creatures here.

    We can shape the planet to be whatever we want it to be. We literally have the ability to move mountains. We can create islands, forests, fields, and lakes. No other creature on Earth can do what we can.

  • So what does that have to do with the fact that we are not responsible for the overwhelming percentage of creatures that have gone extinct?

    Do you think humans should shape the earth how they deem fit since they have the ability to? Should we keep around species that would have gone extinct without our help? Should we destroy species that cause an imbalance in nature?

    You see, people like you want to do the exact same thing you hate on...regulate the planet for yourself.

  • I see you're point but you misunderstand what I'm getting at.

    I only mean that we, humans, can choose to have less of an impact on the planet. We don't have to destroy it in the process of existing.

    Outside of our own mess, I think it's best to allow the Earth to look after itself.

    I believe that because we can take better care of our mess that it's our responsibility to do so.

    As for what we are capable of, I simply wanted to point out the "distinction" you asked about. We're NOT divine.

  • "If human disappear today, then Earth will start healing tomorrow. If Aunt disappear today, then Earth will start dying"

  • tl;dw

    Ocean is awesome, shitty humans messed it up, now ocean is screwed and humans have to become awesome and save it.

  • This video only further supports the theory of human self-destruction. Our biggest enemies our ourselves.

  • the human isn't worth to live on earth. that was the evolutions biggest failure. sad.

  • SO go kill your self. Every human deserves to live here if he gets THE UNDERSTANDING of ALL non material things.

  • for the next time, use your brain (if you have) before commenting, but first, watch the clip.

  • I am using my brain more than you I guess. Just chill.

  • ShaCRaM...i don't think you are using your brain... Humans were given a chance to live on this Earth. What did you we do? We go around acting as the "Dominate Species" try and control everything and pollute the Earth. And we still don't care!!

  • I support GREENPEACE. It's that clear enought I am against pollution ?

  • How come the smartest species on earth is a failure? How is that possible?

    Human kind is just ending one chapter in earths very long existence. Nothing that we do is "wrong" or "right". If we consume the earth, we will dissappear and therefore create a chance for next dominant species. If we don't do it, then wouldn't that be wrong looking from next dominant species point of view (yeah yeah, then they wouldn't excist), but what if they would treat earth better?

  • We are not killing the earth, we are making room for future species - if we excist, they would have to adabt to deal successfully with humankind, therefore evoluting to new species; if we are not around anymore, then they adabt to world that we left for them - yet again becoming new species.

  • My point is that evolution is a nasty crackwhore, who fills itself with many different kinds of stupid shit, but still lives on after another dose of wrong doings and cures itself eventually, when it decides to live another life (for example quit injecting itself with humankind).

  • A religious person might say that the Earth was made for humans. The fact is that humans have behaved as a cancer to the earth. Like a virus that kills it's host. The problem is that man kind is smart enough to know better.

  • ..because of us, many species extincted

    and we do not consume the earth, we are exploiting it, consume is much diffrent (comes from: just if its need, then get it, and not grab them all, for just now, never the less what the cause is in future!)

  • technology alone can save us

  • I dont like this persons voice , Its like he/she is trying to hard to nairrate the vids.

  • I think its Sigourney Weaver

  • poor little turtle 6:00

  • Interesting

  • Makes me want to become a marine biologist ^_^

  • its beautiful

  • cooooool!!!!!

  • was that a narwhale? i thought they were exctinct

  • holy fuck.. whales are scary!

  • twice the size of texas? jesus fucking Christ?!?!

  • Aquaman to the rescue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This video should be called " HUMANS: we suck". we get it.

  • narrator needs to work on his diction.

  • i think it was a woman.

  • yea, second listen. you're right.

  • watch GONG YOO the goldfish swim through hoops!

    watch?v=aWR2RgLX61o

  • people here are all talk. Yea its easy to say "we should do something" or "people aren't listening" but when it comes to actually go about changing lifestyles they just leave it to the rest of the world.

  • hey man u are the only here talking the truth; the rest of this coments are just fantasies that they seen to TV

  • Not everyone is all talk, wazzaa4u. I go to the beach a LOT and I pick up trash all the time. I see other people doing the same occasionally. It's the little things that start the trend. I also stop buying plastic where I can.

    That floating island of plastic in the Pacific blows my mind away!

  • i swear people discust me at some times

    i hate what they're doing.

    Mabey if we had a little consideration for everything

    we wouldn't be facing global warming or the extinction of such amazing creatures && beautiful places.

  • agreed they should have got that movie vioce over guy "in a world were kids die in wars" i love his vioce we actully no more about the moon then we do about our ocean

  • good vid....bad narrator.

  • i got fooled, i thought it was gonna show whale humping sounds for my super yoga.

  • I hate this i have heard the warnings years ago and now its happening yet hardly anyone gives a shit still

  • On the other hand, without the ocean there'd be lots of room for everyone on Earth to spread out, before they died of dehydration.

  • this is an amazing movie

  • The narration is so bad

  • wow

  • have u seen zeitgeist: the movie?

  • Huh? Can't quite say that I have...

  • i work with people like you, it just seems a little more crazy reading it, then listening to it, who are to decide what people worship just because your close minded.

  • You all say that I'm close minded, yet it is people like you who say we are to be "accepting" of everybody...except Christians. I said we are to take care of the earth bc we are responsible for it.

  • How HILARIOUS. You are a Christian and you do not believe in global warming as there is no evidence, but you do believe that an omnipresent and omnipotent force exists and created everything in 6 days because a 2000 year old book said so?

    I know you won't realize just how idiotic and hypocritical that sounds. Your mind is incapable. Just know that you do, indeed, sound idiotic and hypocritical.

    There is more evidence for global warming than there is for your God. You should think about that

  • Look in the mirror before you make unnecessary comments like that again. There is NO evidence that God does NOT exist, but there is thousands of years of testimony that He does! You just choose to assume that He doesn't exist, therefore you make yourself the god of your own little "universe." Sad...

  • What does looking in the mirror have anything to do with anything? Your argument is a logical fallacy ("there is no evidence god does not exist") and testimony from millenia ago by early tribal people is not reliable evidence. The Christian God, and all gods of all religions on Earth, were fabrications of ancient civilizations who were trying to understand the world. Perhaps something did create the universe (although there has never been evidence for it) but it was not a god of our religions

  • Your lack of basic argumentative understanding is surpassed only by your arrogance. But since you brought it up...where did the material come from in the Big Bang (Which there is NO evidence for at all! Only faith on your part that it did...)?

  • "Argumentative understanding?" Please, spare me the pseudo-intellectual bullshit. We cannot disprove A god, but there is certainly evidence the gods of our organized religions do not exist. As far as the Big Bang...yes, there is evidence. Cosmology teaches about red shifts, and cosmic background radiation which was predicted 3 decades ago before we even had the technology to see it. Where did matter in the singularity that caused the big bang come from? We don't know. Simple as that.

  • I'm sure that your belief has value in your life. But in the realm of debate you present nothing but the same, shallow, god-of-the-gaps arguments and logical fallacies. You also do not seem to understand scientific claims and I doubt you've studied much cultural anthropology. The bible is not an original piece of work. It plagiarized from the Babylonians and Sumerians who fabricated deities just like the Israelites. All gods on earth are social constructs, and that's all they will ever be.

  • My universe includes living in 9 countries on 3 continents in 25 years, traveling the world, having a great education, and being well cultured. My universe includes 7 and a half years as a practicing Christian too. Thankfully the will of my mind to distinguish the true from the untrue is stronger than any convictions established by religious indoctrination. Your mind, on the other hand, is still stuck on that lower level that compels you to choose comfort over truth. So, who's "sad" now?

  • So you have sought for truth as a religion and now worship it. Remember that truth in your "realm" is dependant upon those that tell it. I used to be an atheist, until I saught for a way to shut Christians up via the world of facts and materials I knew and the Bible they knew. I am now a Christian and am quite firm in what I believe based upon the facts I know and the Bible I know...they actually fit together quite nicely when you understand how both work!

  • Spend a few months with some intensive study of ancient cultures (including those previous to the early Israelites), evolutionary biology, cosmology, astronomy, sociology, and engage in some good old introspection. If you're intellectually honest, and spiritually unbiased, you'll see the truth. A god may very well exist. He may have created everything. But if he does, he is infinitely more complex than anything humans have concocted. Humans have always made god in THEIR image. It's obvious.

  • One final thing I'd like to say is: there is nothing inherently valuable, or moral, or honest, or commendable about believing the speculation of people who were less educated than today's 3rd graders about what the ultimate creator of the universe is and what he does and what he wants of us (if anything). Nothing. If you are convinced a creator exists, start your search for him anew. Because I PROMISE YOU, he is not God, or Allah, or Yahweh, or Shiva. These are human fabrications. Take care.

  • the complexities of this world including the oecean only demonstrates the existance of God.

    The bible that was written over 1600 years by some 40 different authors who were moved (inspired) by God. Having the same constant theme throughout.

    The bible is unfolding before your eyes. Say no to the NWO and the devil's mark that is coming.

  • Understanding the role that ocean play in the life of our planet is critical to helping to save it. All of our lives depend on them.

  • Ya no wonder the world is going to shit, people twist god's words around to feel better, and yet is there really a god on earth?. fuck no

  • the world is "going to shit" because of people's belief in a god. they think they will live forever when they die, so they dont give a fuck about earth, or life on it.

  • Humans are geniuos!

    But we are being a bully to the mother nature!

    let it change to the right path...

  • We've been around for the blink of an eye in the span of the earth and we are bound to destroy ourselves in an even shorter time frame. How sad

  • amazing video!!

  • i know this woman who is talking, she was on TED, and umm she some what thinks she is cool beans.

  • they use some of the same videos from the galapagos video!!! realy good video though!!

  • the Ocean owns religion

  • man the thing about the plastic garbage ball that has formed in the pacific twice the size of texas thats fucked! lol

  • people like you are the reason of the big failure. stupid people never change

  • amazing!
