Ice Race - Battlefield of a New Cold War?: • The Arctic: Battlefiel...
Oil and gas are the very blood of our modern industrial society and our last major reserves are to be found in the Arctic.
The lives of practically everyone on earth would be different if we did not have oil and gas. Our reserves will soon become depleted, apart from in the Arctic. Our episode entitled “Entering Virgin Territory” explains the dramatic energy situation. How would this impact on the vulnerable Arctic environment and the indigenous populations living in the area? Should Arctic considerations take precedence over the living standards of the rest of the world? The situation is most dramatic in the USA. This superpower will soon have no major oil wells left. The country is currently consuming three times as much oil as it produces and it is paying sky-high prices throughout the world to secure access to this black gold. The northernmost town in the USA, Barrow, lies in the middle of an area which is believed to contain Alaska’s richest oil reserves. The local Eskimo population lives mainly off the area’s natural land and sea resources, and an indomitable will to survive. They are now directing their energy towards the oil industry that wants to establish activities in the area.
As the Polar ice starts to melt the oil industry is dreaming about making major oil and gas finds in this more or less untouched territory. The violent conflicts and wars that are taking place in some of the world’s most affluent oil states are adding further fuel to these dreams. But who should be entitled to extract future oil and gas reserves in the Arctic? Where do the borders run in this icy territory? History has shown us that this is an extremely dangerous situation. Because will a world that is becoming increasingly more dependent on oil respect national borders, historic territorial claims and be able to resolve border conflicts in an amicable manner? In our fourth and final programme, “Border Conflict”, we show how the new race in the Arctic is creating new borders and new conflicts.

ice Race part III Entering Virgin Territory
Oil and gas have been the very blood of our modern industrial society and our last major reserves are locked underneath the Arctic. Will alternative sustainable energy forms save this nature reserve?
We sure hope so.
Everyone's lives would be different if we didn't have oil and gas. We know already the reserves will be depleted soon. It seems - at the time this documentary was made - that The Situation is most dramatic in the USA. And remains so until the government and industries embrace sustainable energy forms at a faster rate than before. The country currently consumes 3x as much oil as it produces. The northernmost town in the US, Barrow, Alaska, lies in the middle of an area which is believed to contain Alaska's richest oil reserves. The local Eskimo population lives mainly off the area's natural land and sea resources and an unbending will to survive. They are now directing their energy towards the oil industry that want to exploit these reserves.
In our fourth and final episode coming up next Friday, we show how the new race in the Arctic is creating new borders and conflicts.

The only reason why discovery Channels will run out of business, we got free documentaries on RUclips
That's true.
This is an old documentary.
the quality of the documentary is also very high
Discovery dowsnt even do documentries anymore
We should just take over the world by force and make all the other countries start paying us instead us giving them aid! Make those peasants give us Americans what we need first before them! Stinkin peasants!
Knowledge is World Windows.
So for the man behind the desk thank you so much.
I've been working up in the North slopes of Alaska for over 10 years now I have some really good friends in barrow. Love this Documentary about it.
It's interesting that the Inuit people, 'Eskimos' as the narrator says, are dead set against oil development and want to hunt by traditional means, yet all seem to have four wheel drive trucks, and go on the ice with snowmobiles. I guess they're ok as long as the oil comes from someone else's backyard.
The Arctic is one of the only true wild places left

As they drive around on their gas suckin snowmobiles wearing their oil based clothes, and how do they heat their house again?
It is a mix really,the native people until not long ago were taken from their families into schools designed to modernize. That said there is from our modern perspective some inconsistency on the use of these fuels by them. I see both sides, though if they did not modernize and use some fossil fuels would modern society pay any attention to them-unlikely.
These documentary always makes me nostalgic when I used to watch discovery and net geography on TV .

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawe..........
There is no oil shortage. There never was.
Only abuse of power
Yes new oil is made much faster then scientist and powerful people hide from us
"Peak oil". What a joke. Hundreds of years of known supplies at the current rate of use. Plenty of time to develop new technologies and energy in the meantime.
And we haven't even done any real exploratory drilling in Antartica either.

The best channel on Documentaries...
Requesting to resume with the documentaries on Dangerous ways to school...🙏🙏🙏
As soon as we get new episodes we will. I don’t have a timeline but as soon as we do, we’ll let you all know.
Yes,I need more of those!
Highly educative documentary
Great documentary as always😁
Surprisingly, even now, there's a reason why the Valdez spill in 1989 is still not fully explained and therefore understood.
Yes Exxon's drunken skipper was primarily to blame for the Valdez running aground, however, the real culprit for the expansion of the spill was BP who had until just recently [back then] a standby crew of natives who were there and specifically trained, ready with supplies, personal, boats, booms and whatever other equipment would be necessary to quickly evaluate, attack and contain any spill within a few miles of their base which, ironically, they stood looking from while watching the incident unfold before their eyes as their newly terminated assignment had been jettisoned by BP [YES! THAT BP!] because they didn't see any need for them to continue keeping and maintaining gear and personnel they would never need and yet, I bet this is the first time you've ever heard of their part in this continuing colostomy bag explosion on Prince Billy's Sound.
Of all the bad players in the Big Oil business, BP is by far the dirtiest of them all and examples like the TX City refinery explosions and Deepwater Horizon #2 (yes, there was another one overseas in some poverty stricken, S. African or S. American country the tell lie vision has never mentioned nor would most care to remember, are just the tip of the iceberg but please don't take my word for it. Be objective enough to look em up for yourselves and see for yourselves how tell lie vision convinces people to beLIEve their outright deceptions
Free Documentary always have great content.. Keep up the good work. Keep us informed. Bravo
Very nice documentary by Free Documentary.
After Middle East, Arctic Circle has become geopolitical battleground of world's great power.
Educative documentary
The best documentaries ever. For me it's the commentators who can keep you going with humour and facts . Keep showing us more and more.
I like watching this kind of documentary 👍👍👍👍
great documentaries of all time. keep going.
Thank you! We will!
this documentary sucked. you see how it talks about oil in the arctic? I think they went with the whale hunters and realized how cold it was, so @freedocumentary decided to just clip together some interviews and talk about china and india oil consumption.

Nice job Thank you For you Her work
Beautiful so far🥊
Good documentary about oil and gas reserves.
Really informative documentary on hurdles to explore oil poles
Amazing work!
Thank you 🙏 and thanks for letting us know.

I confess I'm also addicted to Spark documentaries.
Opening line: the world's final oil reserves are becoming depleted. That's false: there are no "final oil reserves". New reserves are being discovered reach year & existing reserves are not getting depleted even if individual wells have a finite life span. It's a scare line to get further land & sea opened up for drilling. It's like saying the world is running out of food, or wood or water.
The USA is one of the biggest oil producers in the world not sure how old this documentary is?
Isn't it in the top 5? Arab countries Venezuela and Russia no?
I think it's 10 or 11 as far as reserves but the documentary it's fairly old. (Save the whales)
This must be old as it does not consider the massive glut due to shale oil development in the Bakken and Permian, production has crossed 10+ million bbl/day already by 2020

Wow amazing
Great Documentary
Seems like this production was made 20 years ago and has been dragged out of retirement - the USA is the largest oil producer in the World and has thousands of cracking sites parked-up until the flood of oil is used up. The current pandemic has meant billions of gallons of oil are not being used so!!!!!!!!!
You are correct! And that's world over. The big oil giants do not want to see "Lockdowns"....No one traveling? Buses, planes, ships, cars, trucks, mass transit? They all suffer economically. The people suffer because goods cannot get to them as a result. Who to blame? Politicians. That's right! The lowlife cheats who in line with big business, would sell their families and who ever they know right down the drain to make a buck.
That is why the world is in turm-Oil.
We should just take over the world by force and make all the other countries start paying us instead us giving them aid! Make those peasants give us Americans what we need first before them! Stinkin peasants!
Good work 👍
We think so too. Thanks for stopping by to let us know.
"most of the worlds oilfields have passed peak oil" in 1919 they predicted the us could only produce oil for the next 2-5 years. in 1937 they said there would only be oil for another 15 years.1972 they said oil would be depleted in 20 years. in 96 they said oil would peak in 2020. in 07 they said it would peak in 2040. sounds a lot like the boy who cried wolf.
Haha hahaha hahahahahah 🤣🤣.
Those statements are made to fuel their businesses. Imagine if they said it will deplete in 200yrs, definitely they would make less money. It sounds like they say it for money
All of the old oilfields in Pennsylvania are doing something weird...They are starting to fill back up with oil. The science is wrong when it comes to how oil is formed, I believe it is a natural process of all the heat and pressure in the crust that produce oil, it has nothing to do with ancient plants alive during the time of the dinosaurs.
I agree Lee Tucker. Many many have made many Malthusian predictions over the last 150 years or so, including Ehrlich’s population bomb, for instance. As a child of the 80s in the US I was constantly warned that the tropical rainforests were on the verge of annihilation, and that acid rain would wreak havoc on forests and coral alike. There’s far too much alarmism and far too little historical memory and accountability for those that make such dire predictions.
Forrest Gore said all the ice should have been gone by now. Hmmmm
@@johnsmith-em2wp seriously? Do you have a source? I tried searching Pennsylvania oil fields refilling and couldn't find that.
This documentary must have been made a few years ago, because the US currently produces (very close at least) what it consumes
The US isn't ignorant to the idea that oil is not finite. However in the western hemisphere it seems as though Oil is being harbored if you will. The middle east knows this and so do Russia and China. We've Canada, mainland US, and South America. Unfortunately the world's media do not like to publish this. This whole planet is a giant resource yet to be tapped to it's full potential.
What we who do listen to what's going on around the world, are not intimidated by are some of the commenters in this video painting a picture of doom and gloom.
I'm old enough to remember the so-called "Gas Shortages" during the 70's. There wasn't any shortage at all. This was an effort by the oil giants to increase the pricing of that product. And yet the ignorant still fall for the same old line about energy supplies being limited....
The bottom line here is we're humans. And we have the capabilities of being very inventive when it comes to addressing any crises. That's where my faith lies. The creative Human Being.
We should just take over the world by force and make all the other countries start paying us instead us giving them aid! Make those peasants give us Americans what we need first before them! Stinkin peasants!
Haha that's stolen oil being repackaged, High sea piracy
Best channel ever for me..
Love the doc...just found it interesting how the names of these companies were kept out of the doc
oil business is shady af. I wouldn't dare to mention any names either
@@DecibelAlex my guess given other assets they have in the state would be ExxonMobil
I wouldn't be surprised if the arctic oil and gas reserves are larger than those found in the Middle East
yeah we could kill ourselves twice as fast
Nice and very good job
2021 saw a record high in methane release-17ppb,which is just the beginning due to permafrost melt,releasing massive amounts of methane.
Knowing that methane release is the short term driver for temperature increases we can extrapolate how feedback loops will boost overall temperatures to 3 degrees,making us the ANNIHILATION GENERATION.
great!
Informative information
I can’t help but chuckle every time a native guy claims that big oil doesn’t know what they are doing to the environment while sitting on a snow machine outside his warm natural gas heated house and collecting his Alaska tax benefit.
Ikr, sickening hypocrisy
To be fair what option does he have? They took all the land needed for him to live the way he used to.
The impact of industry is much more than his personal impact. There is no hypocrisy when you acknowledge that.
@@MrJuancastrotorres still hypocrisy cause he is still complaining about where fuel and plastic come from while reaping all of the benefits from oil. Hypocritical.
@@balancemaster55 he could live like his aggrandized ancestors and play with sticks
Very good 😊☺️
Yup right here with ya
Based on its content I believe this documentary is from 2009 before fukoshima accident and US shale oil boom
Interesting to see how the predictions for today where all wrong because of these two events
The doco did mention the risk of Russia having all the power
I like and intresting your video for project technology hight engineering.
First gasoline was created by accident as a waste product from producing KEROSENE. In trying to figure out how to make a use for this waste product, Henry Ford was approached about designing an engine that would use "this gas waste product." This is how the industry got started.

I am not sure when this documentary was made, but it seemed like the narrator mentioned 2013 as in the future. If so, much of the predictions have not occurred. One example is the precipitous decline of the ice in the arctic. If that map is from 1979 to 2012, or so, to extrapolate the decrease in ice since then (2012) should give us about enough ice and snow for one Frosty the Snowman.
Total RESPECT for MR ITTTA.....
Only 2;21 into this and it's already crossed into the un-factual, but since they have such a wonderfully intelligent sounding Brit speaking, it's probably going to be accepted as scientific. Smart people were forecasting peak oil back in the '90's and probably beyond that. No one knows what they don't know.
Hello. We are moving towards eco friendly energy.. India is moving towards self sufficient in energy.

"end of the oil age" hilarious
or maybe it's because they regulate the amount of barrels produced per day by the demand and price
How can anyone with even the most cursory knowledge of the oil industry trust them to do anything other than pillage and pollute?
Funny how he talks about not polluting and preserving the ice by not producing oil and gas while sitting on snowmobile fueled by petrol
We can clearly see why depending on Russia's oil would be a problem. Those who gave a warning were right.

Arctic is part of China's 1500 dash line and since ancient times part of china. Now chairman Xi will bring it back and fulfill Chinese dream.
It turns out relying on Rus+sian energy was a very bad and deadly mistake.
Watching this in 2022 is crazy.
If the gov wants us to transition to renewables than there should be infrastructure such as charging stations.
AND HERE WE ARE IN 2022 HIS STATEMENT @ 29:44 THE VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION IS UPON US!!
One little hitch in all this Pt Barrow oil, is that none of it will reach the lower 48. It will go to Asia as does all of the present Northshore oil.
this documentary is atleast older than 2013, silly to reupload it in 2021

Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky."

Fun fact: Barrow IS NOT the northernmost town in the USA (as stated in this doc) Utqiagvik is.
When this movie was mad Barrow was the name of the town. I have been there many times. Guess what flatlander from Ohio we didn’t think McKinley was the right name for a mountain so we changed that too.
@@Chris_at_Home yeah I realized as I watched just how old this video was...but my comment stands, I'm more factually correct than this dusty old video from 2009. PS...I could care less what you folks name mountains, I prefer a nice warm beach and a cold drink in my hand any day of the week...
@@buckeyeman7631 I'll be down there in two years, but only in the winter.
When is this documentary from?
The name “Eskimo”. “This name is considered derogatory in many other places because it was given by non-Inuit people and was said to mean 'eater of raw meat.
I have a cousin who is Inuit, she was adopted by my Uncle and Aunt to be in their family because she was orphaned. Basically left on the ice to die by her people. This was still being practiced in the very early 60's by some isolated outlying villages. Mission personnel would regularly make rounds to gather up these babies and save them, putting them into one place--now referred to as orphanages. State of Alaska modernized from the pioneer times to recognize this problem, encouraging change within the Inuit culture to no longer engage in this practice of infanticide. Choosing boys over girls.
China for decades practiced this same policy of ONE child per couple. IN their culture, it is more honorable to have a male child to carry on the family name. Therefore girls were either aborted or abandoned. AS 2023, due to a shortage of young people--shortage of women to marry larger pool of male population, China has now dropped the limited ONE child per couple policy. Their aging population now does not have enough young people to care for their elderly people.
A healthy population should be a pyramid of elderly/aged at the top, with middle age in the middle, young adults more towards the base, with the very bottom, being babies/children, teens and such. When the pyramid is inverted--this means less workers to pay into a tax base, less younger people coming up to take skilled jobs and drive an economy and eventually leads to a zero population growth and end of a society.
A healthy population is where there is NO pyramid at all, and there are pretty much even groups of people of all ages, with slightly more young people and workers and just a bit more babies/children then elderly people. This is more of a balance. Balance of knowledgeable people with skills to teach, and people to learn, and workers and young people continuing to grow to keep the cycle going.
I think the Inuit population is slowly dying out as their young people search for a more modern world--internet, video games, and want more updated foods to eat, besides whale.
My cousin, when she was old enough, was NOT interested in going back to her INUIT culture. She left Alaska and her adoptive family for awhile to be on her own. She only keeps in touch with her adopted Dad, my Uncle. She basically has zero to do with us or her brother. She has had no less than 4 husbands and many abortions and now cannot have children. She just could not make up her mind about children until it was too late.
Oil is at a negative right now, they're not going there to drill for oil. They want the gold
For about 9 years I worked on the electronics that they used to go down oil wells and measure different things about the formation and the best places to produce the oil and gas zones. The company I worked for had a tool that would produce neutron pulses using high voltage, deuterium and tridium These pulses would go into the formation and then by taking certain readings between pulses they can tell what type of minerals are in the ground. This was in the Arctic. I was around other types of radiation and decided on a different career path in telecommunications.
Is it true that the USA uses 3 times the oil is produces as said in this documentry? I was thought that US was a net exporter of oil. When was this documentary made?
End of the oil age that’s a good one lol
I am not certain we are running out like you say.
Makes me question GW. Blowing up ice in antarctic to search for fresh wells.
I see the Eskimos are driving. Plenty of JetSki’s off-road vehicles, speed boats. Don’t those need to have oil to run. Yes they do
I think the environmental as well as financial and social impacts on the area need to be considered deeply.But drilling there will eventually be necessary..So we also need some military and air force bases there..Settle it a little more.Relocate some folks to there
Oil won't be as important in 50 years, I hope, and so production will be far down
We should just take over the world by force and make all the other countries start paying us instead us giving them aid! Make those peasants give us Americans what we need first before them! Stinkin peasants!
