This is a human, not a robot! Very refreshing to see. Thanks mr.

This reminded me of Sharkwater, a documentary done by Rob Stewart. Its pretty much exactly this. Very well done documentary.

@Meathead36 Interesting. So sharks are not involved in any sort of balance in the ocean, are they? Can you point me towards a source or somewhere where I can learn a little bit about this?

[meeiu]

You do know that the change will occur over thousands of years. Keep that in mind...

anyone else thought the title read "River Sharks of Colorado"?

@Meathead36 yes plants do breathe it, but high levels of CO2 can kill plants indirectly due to the increase in temperatures. most plant cells rupture at around 140F, which isn't going to happen any time soon but it is possible for Earth given the right atmospheric composition, much of which would be CO2 and methane. Also organisms that breathe O2 promote plant diversity by creating niches through herbivory, and a huge number of plants require animals to disperse their seeds.

For a photographer or a cameraman or an artist that "wants to change the world" still comes the unavoidable moment when he has to think what he wants to do, why he wants to do it, how to achieve it, how to explain it to more people and convince them about it.
All these are called politics. You change the world through politics, even if you think you are only an artist.
All other things, art, music, computers, photography, are just the medium you would perhaps use.
