Now I'm confused. Where was the environmental issue?


It's just a bomb to reverse time. Where did it say it was created to save the environmental from pollution?

there was like one line from the bad guy about what the future people were pissed off about. I guess it was part of motive, but they didn't stop to philosophize over it.

The idea is that it would take the earth back to a more natural state, before we existed.

And somehow, the individuals who would live in it would not muck it up? I dunno...

sator says that the people from the future lived in a world where their oceans had risen and their rivers ran dry

Nature is stronger than us and will do everything on its own. Although many different factors negatively affect the development of our planet and the environment in general. I recently went to https://envrexperts.com/free-essays/ecology/ and read some very interesting environmental studies. I was especially impressed by the study of fish populations in the world's oceans, the study of common forms of ecological error. I advise you to read these articles.

"Nature" is currently getting a lot of "help" from industrialized nations. Been going on for awhile now actually.

Oh I know, the common refrain among many who have their heads in the sand is "it's impossible for us to affect the earth."

Just like it would be impossible for us to cut off the worlds oxygen supply by killing off all the phytoplankton in the oceans and complete deforestation. Or cause a nuclear winter that would affect the planet, etc. (why even mention pumping trillions of tons of carbon into the atmosphere annually -- a heat trapping gas like that surely would have no effect, right?).

The planet, as a ball spinning on its axis, is not going anywhere for a long time. Life and conditions for life on the planet . . . I'm not so sure about.

How can a river run dry when there's an ocean reversing into it?

It was not a bomb to reverse time lol.
