I watched a movie tonight on CTV HDTV channel. "Aftermath: Population Zero". It's a sci-fi movie or future projection, about the changes and evolve of earth after all the human beings disappear in one day. This movie is quite thought provoking.
There is no cast in this movie, only a narrator explains what's happening.
Within the first couple of hours, power outage everywhere. After backup power depleted, most of the cities will be out of electrical power in a few days. The nuclear power plan may last longer with diesel backup generators. However, they will end up with disasters after the diesel run out.
Power outage, nuclear power plans explosion, industrial plants explosion, those won't damage the earth too much, just the related areas. Animals will thrive and rule the earth again. They are evolved to live on the earth in most of the conditions for thousands of years.
Most of the human built building or constructions will be collapsed or damaged in two centuries. The remaining parts ironically include the Great Wall in China and other ancient buildings like the Pyramid.
The carbon oxides generated by human beings will be absorbed by mother nature in less than a hundred years. The movie also projects the world without human beings after 1000 years. There is no obvious sign of human being on earth anymore. The next ice age will hit the earth after maybe 25,000 years.
It takes human beings 10,000 years to establish the civilizations and put our signs on the earth. Compared to the 4.5 billions years age of earth, it is just a blink of eye.
