Oil: The Race for the Last Reserves | The Struggle for Oil - Geological Deceptions (Full Film)

How much oil is left - and what happens when the world’s most important energy source becomes harder, riskier and more expensive to extract? This compelling energy documentary investigates the global dependence on crude oil, the theory of peak oil and the environmental dangers of deep-sea drilling. Beginning with the 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, it examines how technological failures, financial pressure and difficult drilling conditions contributed to one of the worst oil spills in history. Travel from oil fields in Austria and Saudi Arabia to research centres in Europe, Canadian oil sands and offshore platforms in the Gulf of Mexico. Scientists, geologists, engineers and industry experts reveal how oil is formed, how new reserves are discovered and why many of the world’s largest oil fields may be declining. The documentary also explores enhanced oil recovery, horizontal drilling, water injection, polymer technology, Arctic exploration and the enormous financial and environmental costs of extracting unconventional oil. It investigates the use of chemical dispersants during the Deepwater Horizon cleanup and questions their impact on marine ecosystems and human

Bangladesh: How do you Survive when the Land sinks into the Sea?

Bangladesh: Sunken Country | Investigate Asia By 2050, 30% of Bangladesh will be under water. One in three inhabitants, some 60 million people, are threatened by marine flooding. No other country in the world is so at risk from rising waters. The main culprit: global warming. To the south, in the Ganges delta, the salt water that invades the land has disrupted the entire economy of the region. Many farmers have had to convert their rice paddies into shrimp farms, which are much less profitable. The country is also threatened from within by its gigantic rivers. The melting ice of the Himalayas and heavy monsoon rains are dangerously increasing their flow. Every year, the rivers bursts their banks and tens of thousands of homes are washed away. Every year, nearly 15,000 children drown in the rising waters. Due to all these natural disasters, Dhaka, the capital, is facing a massive influx of climate refugees. Having lost everything, they are looking for odd jobs to survive. Korban Ali became a tricycle driver to transport people. He works 12 hours a day

The Surprising Science of Poop | Myth or Science (6/6)

In the final episode of Myth or Science, microbiologist Jennifer Gardy investigates one of humanity’s most overlooked and misunderstood substances: poop. Though commonly dismissed as disgusting waste, feces may contain remarkable clues about our health, our environment, and even the future of sustainable technology. Through a series of surprising experiments, Jennifer tests whether flushing a toilet spreads fecal bacteria around the bathroom, whether colon cleanses improve health, and whether visible corn in stool is evidence of poor digestion. She also explores what the shape, smell, frequency, and buoyancy of stool can reveal about the human body. Beyond personal health, the episode uncovers the wider scientific potential of waste. Researchers analyse sewage to track the health of entire communities, specially trained dogs locate orca feces to help protect endangered whales, and engineers transform sewage sludge into clean drinking water and energy. Jennifer even investigates whether dogs align themselves with the Earth’s magnetic field while defecating and how fish waste helps create tropical beaches. ------- Chapters ▷ 00:00 -The Hidden Power of Poop ▷ 01:38 - The Toilet Plume Experiment ▷ 05:44
