There is nothing more important than the survival of our species...well, from our point of view.

If we watch this fantastic documentary and consider what we have done to the planet, look at calamitous leaders like Trump and then look at things from the perspective of the animals and plants, they would be better off if humans were to disappear...the problem is that we may take everything down, just as we have exterminated so many species from the face of the earth.
Having mentioned Trump - 'the best, smartest, most intelligent man' if we are to believe him,or just the opposite, if we use common sense - he has his own solutions to some of the problems of the environment:

Such as raking the forests, as he pretends he had been told by the president of Finland.

This documentary is phenomenal in that it does not limit itself to describing the potential extinction we face, but it also presents various options that leaders need to take now, for 'the clock is ticking' and we may have only two decades left before the capacity to store carbon dioxide is finished.
We are invited to see how scientists measure the changes that have been dramatic over the recent decades, so much so that one expert states that at the geological scale, this is 'an explosion'.

In one scenario, huge territories would be covered by the oceans,due to the melting of the ice, possibly all of it, causing mass migration, lack of food and in short:

The Ultimate Calamity, the end of humanity, maybe contemplating a Planet of the Apes script.

Fortunately, some brilliant people advance solutions, if only Trump and his deplorable supporters would dig.
One fish farmer talks about the possibility that the whole planet would be nourished using sustainable operations like the one he runs...

There is mention of ocean snow that could help avoid Armageddon.
Then we hear a manager of a huge red wood forest, of tens of thousands of hectares, if it wasn't hundreds of thousands.

This type of wood would help with capturing carbon dioxide.
For it is crucial to emit less, but also to capture carbon dioxide.

In other words this is a must watch production, that should be included in the curriculum.
It would be great if leaders of the world see it.

Only in the case of Trump,  he would need the famous activist teenager, Greta Thunberg - who has a hundredfold his capacity of digging- or an eight year old to explain the simplest propositions to him.
