Brief Summary
This video discusses two potential environmental threats: volcanic eruptions indicated by unusual marine animal behavior and increased water flow to Egypt from the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam. It highlights the importance of observing natural signs like mass marine animal beaching as indicators of imminent danger, such as volcanic activity. The video also addresses concerns about potential flooding in Egypt due to the filling of the Ethiopian dam, citing expert opinions and media reports.
- Marine animal behavior, like whales, sharks, and dolphins appearing on beaches, can indicate increased carbon dioxide levels in the water, signaling potential volcanic eruptions.
- The filling of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam raises concerns about increased water flow and potential flooding in Egypt.
Volcanic Eruptions and Marine Animal Behavior
The appearance of marine animals such as whales, sharks, and dolphins close to the shore, particularly on the northern coast of Africa, can be a warning sign of an impending volcanic eruption. This is because the increased carbon dioxide released from the Earth's crust due to volcanic activity raises the acidity of the sea, making it uninhabitable for these creatures. Consequently, they seek refuge in safer, shallower waters, effectively signaling an approaching environmental event. The speaker believes that the absence of such marine animal behavior suggests no immediate danger. However, their appearance indicates that problems could arise within a day or two.
Marine Life as Indicators of Environmental Changes
In areas prone to earthquakes, like New Zealand, whales often migrate and beach themselves due to chemical and electromagnetic changes in the oceans. Similarly, finding dead fish floating ashore indicates a large release of carbon dioxide that has altered the water's composition. The speaker emphasizes the importance of analyzing such news and preparing for potential problems indicated by the death of marine life.
Concerns About Flooding in Egypt
The discussion shifts to concerns about potential flooding in Egypt due to heavy rains and the filling of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam. There are worries that the dam's limited space will lead to the release of large amounts of water, potentially overwhelming the Nile River and Egyptian canals. The speaker references a statement by Dr. Abbas Sharaki, a professor of geology and water resources at Cairo University, who suggests that 50 billion cubic meters of water are on their way to Egypt from the dam. The Egyptian and international media have also reported on these statements.
