What If We Drained the Mediterranean?

video description

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Imagine the Mediterranean Sea is disappearing! Old shipwrecks are rearing their ugly heads as the water drains around them, and Mediterranean cruises are becoming increasingly disappointing. But for once, this isn't a result of climate change - we're doing it on purpose! If we blocked off the Mediterranean's main water source from the Atlantic Ocean, we'd be essentially creating a new desert that connects Europe with Africa

Reasons why draining the Mediterranean sea would be a rubbish idea:
1. Not enough resources in the world to make the dam.
2. Countries like Italy, Monaco and Libya would be affected with droughts and a water crisis.
3. This could affect ships and boats meaning cargo and passengers would be in a huge problem.
4. If the dam breaches, that would cause millions of deaths.
5. The water would evaporate, completely messing with the climate.
6: If all the water there was expelled from the Mediterranean, it would flood other seas.

First, if we did drained the Mediterranean. It would cause massive global economic crisis.
The Mediterranean leads to Suez canal. Where it's a shortcut to save gas, and time. And there would be no logical reason to drain the Mediterranean.
And ships that carries goods would have to go to Southern Pacific and go to South Africa's sea and arrive like places of UAE, India, Saubi Arabia, Indonesia. It would be very dumb reason to drain it unless a government was rich and had a reason to invest draining the Mediterranean. Lol

O. M. G. it could possible cause a mass human population explosion, because of the newly created land. That would be detrimental to the health of a planet. Humans would become an evasive species. This planet dies not need more humanoid births. Population growth must be curbed, before its too late. Thus planet is already dealing w/ severe overpopulation. There's nothing pretty about another baby being born to make things worse.

Drain the sea
Use the land as renewable energy
Solar panels
Green houses
Before the process let all residents of those towns know and once everybody is out start the process
To get everyone out hopefully government provides transportation for the citizens if not then ye-no no draining
Those who decide to stay accepted their fate

Been asking on every video and post you guys make for over a month:
What if we kept growing at the same rate after puberty ended? How large would we be by the time people typically die from natural causes and how hard would living be? In this scenario people would be built to take the extra physical stress from getting as large as possible.

I quite like your videos. Concise, creative, informative, assumptive. Also, I like how the videos always ends with unfisnished business. I wonder what kind of people of behind the video writings and graphics. Good work, keep it up!

I think partly draining the world's oceans is our best chance of saving ourselves from rising sea levels caused by climate. If only we had the technology to drain the world's oceans, but that is a story for another What If.
reply

And don-t forget about the time it would take to drain the entire thing. If it only drains 1. 6 meters or 5. 2 feet every year. It would take around 3, 000 years to drain the entire thing

Hahaha another what if we drain whole attlantic ocean in meditaranian see. To save shanghai, amsterdam, and global warming by blocking meditaranian and pumping ocean water in. ----

After putting the dam between the Atlantic and Mediterranean and draining the Mediterranean, why can-t you just remove the dam afterwards so we can prevent sea level rise lol
reply

Draining the Mediterranean would cause a 10m rise in global sea levels? I guess this has been verified, but it feels surprising to me. It's not that big, or deep!
reply

u expect me to believe there is enough water in just part of the Mediterranean sea to make sea levels rise 10 meters ALL ROUND THE WORLD? what fekking rubbish. jeesh

If ever the Med. Sea was artificially drained, THERE GOES THE BEAUTY OF EUROPE. I sincerely hope that idiot mankind never ever does such as n unnatural thing.
reply

Draining the Mediterranean would also drain the Black Sea and Caspian Sea because of the Istanbul Canal and the Volga River

WHY WOULD WE want to -re-connect- the continents?
They were already connected at some time in the distant past.

Worlds oldest shipwreck will disclose herself, Titanic's cursed sister Britannic and many other ill fated vessels.

It looks like someone may have pulled the plug inthe Mediterranean. The waters have been receding since Saturday.
reply

It is not possible now for us to lose water because of the things that are going on in the earth right now.
reply

Do the water - comes from Atlantic to Mediteranean through a very narrow Straight of Gibraltor! This is weird
reply

Would anything bad happen if we drained it blocked it off and released that water in the ocean or somewhere else
reply
