BBC showing the 3 part documentary 'Supersized Earth'.
Some fascinating stuff, especially if one is into Engineering and what has been built.
e.g. Burj Khalifa which Robert "Dallas" Campbell goes to the top and does some window cleaning and also traverses at the top of a bridge in construction...walking scarily on chicken wire for a walkway.
1 fact that blew my mind was; if you combined all the major urban areas in the world, they would all fit into half of Australia.
...so the world is not really as over-populated as one thinks?

Although there's no way could I have cleaned those windows in the first episode
I take a different view on that fact, Australia is a pretty big place. Imagine a town half the size of Australia.paspuggie48 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 20, 2021 7:10 pmBBC showing the 3 part documentary 'Supersized Earth'.

Alexander Armstrong in Iceland was good I thought.
Fascinating look at active volcanos and then he had the dubious visit to the penis museum ! Who knew an elephant's dick is so big they use it as a 5th leg to get up hills

What's the definition of a 'major urban area' ? And what's the area of all the minor urban areas?Derek27 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 20, 2021 8:39 pmI take a different view on that fact, Australia is a pretty big place. Imagine a town half the size of Australia.paspuggie48 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 20, 2021 7:10 pm

I agree with Derek, that sounds like a shockingly large area. iro 3.6% of the total habitable surface of the Earth! And with each person requiring approx 1.2 acres of land to sustain them you can see easily why we've already far exceeded the Earth's carrying capactity.

Brassic Season 3 is probably the funniest of all 3
Season 1 and 2 are hilarious too.

He answered each of Derek's shopping rants perfectly, I think Derek has finally met his match!
