Talk:Aftermath: Population Zero

Expansion?

This aired some time ago, yet the article is still mainly incomplete. There have been a few editors (myself included) who have contributed, but is anyone else going to help us out? Wikimaster97 (talk) 22:04, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

i think its important for this article to credit the book 'the world without us' as being the inspiration for this documentary. that book started this whole new trend of thought.

I don't get it..

It seems like these shows assume mankind vanishes within the next few years or tomorrow, because everything looks the same. Does this show simply assume we will go extinct very soon because otherwise it wouldn't make sense. Does this factor in the ISS people or the fact that we may have explorers on a Moon base or Mars base?

My question is, this assumes we vanish pretty quickly and not 50 years in the future, due to no changes in the surrounding scenes or anything else.

So that's why nothing is different, right?

the documentary isnt about how we might disappear or why. its purely about what would happen to the planet if all humans disappeared tomorrow.

Canadian version?

Is there seperate Canadian version, or was this a US-Canada co-production? When I watched it, there were several references to Canada and a Canadian narrator. TransportfanTransportfan (talk) 02:24, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

-I did an internet search, and I didn't find a seperate Canadian version, so I'm thinking no. Wikimaster97 (talk) 22:11, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Just saw the Canadian version tonight on Global. It was called 'Aftermath: The World Without Humans' and it had a different narrator. Unfortunately I can't find much info on it on the web :/ 99.245.228.44 (talk) 06:44, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Dairy cows (10 days A.H.)

Re: "As there isn't anybody to milk them anymore, dairy cows have their udders infected and die."

I can't remember if this was explicitly stated in the film, but if not, this ought to be edited out or changed as it's way too all-or-nothing in verbiage and indicates a widespread die-off of all dairy cows, which simply wouldn't happen. Commercial dairy farm cows would likely suffer infections on a widespread scale due to hormones they receive that facilitates massive production. However, "free range" cows/non-commercial dairy cows would most likely just dry up from lack of milking. Some might suffer infection and die from it, but not all. Those who survive would probably be killed by predators in the wild, but that's another issue. I'd say this text should be modified if this is not a direct quote from the film (I don't have access to it at this time so I cannot verify). Evixir (talk) 02:40, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Series?

Is this a series? I just saw something called "Aftermath: World Without Oil"... apparently the Canadian version, since it kept referencing Canada, while doing most visuals with New York and Miami.

There's also "Aftermath: When the Earth Stops Spinning"

• http://www.history.ca/ontv/titledetails.aspx?titleid=234859

It also seems to have a Canadian variant

comparison section

Why does it say neither show mentions batteries or solar power and then go on to give examples where they do? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.252.151.203 (talk) 23:40, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Not enough outside references

This article lacks any references outside of the show's official websites. This is in stark contrast with articles such as Dinosaur Revolution. More information from magazines, newspapers, etc. should be incorporated. Chris (talk) 19:45, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

5 to 10 days error

Writen in article "Because the fossil fuel powered back up, power generators will run out. At that time, the cooling pools that prevent the spent nuclear fuel from overheating will start to boil since this water is not replenished."

In the version I saw the entire east coast of North America was rendered unlivable from the nuclear power plants and nuclear fuel bundle cooling pools blowing up.--Mark v1.0 (talk) 17:33, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

I found the video on youtube 7:52 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91JZCbGLCvk it is reported as a National Geographic documentary.

Honey?

Why is there no mention of honey being able to last 10,000 years? That's the most interesting thing about the whole program. 🤯 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.11.165.116 (talk) 23:19, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
