Ocean currents are our planet’s circulatory system, and they keep everything from ecosystems to the climate healthy. But we’re changing Earth in ways that threaten to disrupt and even break critical ocean currents like the planet-wide Great Ocean Conveyor. This could have devastating effects on our future. In this video, we explain how ocean currents work, how climate change is threatening to disrupt them, and what we can do to stop that from happening.

Even Siberia and Antarctica will thaw out if it gets hot enough. I say keep the CO2 going and ban all natural ice and turn the poles into farmland and new trade routes. 8B people is too many anyway, 1B is more than enough. Fewer humans = less CO2, so it will all work out by itself eventually.

@seraphina985 3 жыл бұрын

I am really not sure we have the salt mining or transport capacity to pull that off we are talking about thousands of cubic kilometers here with even more water that will flow in to replace that if you are even partially successful. You would probably need easily billions of tons of salt to make even a modest temporary difference. Bear in mind here that the global production of salt is only around 280 million tons annually. Also with our largest bulk carriers only having a capacity of around 400,000 tons and we only have 68 of that size transporting the billions of tons of salt into the middle of the ocean even if we had it would be an issue. In short, the ocean is simply vast and the quantities of salt that would be needed to rebalance the system are almost unfathomable certainly beyond our industrial capacity to deliver.

Yes. Fluid dynamics is fun isn't it. Cooler in eurpoe, but an average globally of warmer. Think less of slowly pushing a pool of water, more like dropping a hammer in it. Earth can deal with slow changes, not quick ones, even if they deliver the same energy overall.

The sad thing is, we (collective) don't even look after ourselves. Despite knowing how bad junk food is for our arteries, we continue to gorge ourselves on high fat/high sugar foods, clogging our circulatory system. The amount of "largeness" is continuing to increase, despite everybody knowing the negative effects. So if we can't even look after ourselves, what hope is there for the ocean? Yeah, I just depressed myself. Good job me.

@@tyrellarson Yeah never underestimate humanities capability of willful ignorance the ability to forget ignore and or fail to internalize information that is unpleasant i.e. doesn't conform to our internalized narratives. It seems that humans have evolved enough eusocial characteristics to reach the point where these internalized tribal narratives are more important than our own existence. Tribalism is a both a fascinating and terrifying evolutionary imperative that seems deeply wired into our brains. And we have maximized our species capacity for such toxic self destructive behavior by developing sorting algorithms allowing like minded individuals to find each other and form narrow minded tribes of willful ignorance and delusion.

Not all climate models take all pertinent factors into account. They can only be as good as the data they are given by the people who designed them. This is likely to change in the near future with AI coming online and becoming more advanced.

Great video, as always. But I'm so tired, man. I'm tired because none of this will ever get fixed. We've been trying to get people to understand for nearly 3 decades now and it hasn't worked. We will never clean up our act, our atmosphere, nor our oceans.

@JarieSuicune 3 жыл бұрын

It would help if people better understood the problem and those who are best in positions to make the biggest efforts did so, but we also need to keep in mind that the concept of "fixing" the situation isn't really an option, it never was. To the best of my understanding, what is happening is basically an acceleration of the natural order of things. The events and consequences are totally natural, it's the rate at which it is happening that is "unnatural". So even if overnight we somehow "fixed" everything we've done, it wouldn't undo the progression thus far, it would just remove our factor of the acceleration. However, that also doesn't mean that it would just revert to the past rate either, as the rate of change takes time as well. In short, while we totally need to work to stop accelerating things, we also can't expect it to not keep progressing regardless because it isn't just going to reverse to the old "normal". Change comes, accelerated or not, and those who choose to ignore it will be surprised and unprepared when it affects them. Like a thief in the night, either you are ready or you are not and then it is too late.

@JarieSuicune 3 жыл бұрын

Also, even 30 years isn't as long as it seems, especially with trying to make change on a societal level. Though we certainly want things to progress faster (seeing results always feels good), there has been progress regardless. Raising the current and coming generations to love and care about actively doing good and actively avoiding bad will make some of the biggest changes we can do, but that takes time and a lot of dedicated honest effort. And it starts in families, not government.

At first it got warmer, because the process was gradual (it had sharp peaks anyhow but relatively gradual), however at some point, when temperatures were almost as today, some catastrophe happened, some say that an ice dam collapsed in North America pouring massive amounts of fresh water to the Ocean all of sudden, others that it was a meteorite impact. Whatever the case Ireland went from a normal warm spring to a never ending freezing winter of a thousand years. It was so bad that some people began eating grass, almost literally... and then invented bread out of it, it's called the first Neolithic.
