And with no people around
To remove them,
They spread like a cancer.
and in fact,
To the point
Where we couldn't keep
These generators cool anymore.
And it would cause
The high temperature alarm
In the automatic control system.
And that automatic
Control system
Would then start
The shutdown sequence
Of that generator.
Well, that would happen
One by one
For all of the generators
Of hover dam,
And eventually
Would be shut down.
in lass Vegas,
The last glimmers
Relinquish the night
To its primeval blackness.
With the generators
No longer running,
No water at all
And the Colorado River
Downstream begins to run dry.
On the other side of the dam,
And Lake Mead starts to rise.
it would just keep
Building up in Lake Mead.
And it would eventually
Gets to the point
Of spilling over
Through the spillways
On either side of the dam.
unchecked,
Nature's most powerful elements
Reclaim their supremacy
On earth.
Triggered by lightning strikes,
The wildfires
Those humans once battled
So valiantly
Now rage unchecked.
Cities and neighborhoods
Full of abandoned buildings,
Wild grasses, and debris
Is prime fuel for the flames?
Chicago burns.
San's
Stately wooden Victorians
Are now only useful as kindling.
And just as it did
In the time of the ancients,
Rome is burning again.
As structures
Burn to the ground,
Charred timbers
Release nutrients into the soil,
Providing the next wave
Of plant life,
With the nitrogen
It needs to grow
And thrive.
The roads of the world
Are disappearing
Beneath a green map
That spreads
Like some relentless monster.
The advance of nature
Knows no boundaries.
The gates
Of London's Buckingham palace
And moss.
In Moscow, red square
Is becoming very green.
in reality,
Nature will reclaim earth
Very quickly.
These stairs were cleared
18 months ago.
If we came back
In another 18 months,
We'd have a hard time
Finding them.
If we came back in five years,
To find.
man's mastery over nature
Has always been
Just an illusion.
When the Cambodian city
Of Angkor
And its temple complexes
Were abandoned in 15th century,
Jungle trees grew
Indiscriminately
Over its stone structures.
Entangling them in their roots.
Now, without armies of gardeners
And repairmen,
Modern cities are laid bare
To nature's revenge.
In New York's central park,
The great lawns, now untended,
Sprout with saplings.
