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.

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.

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]

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.

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.

There is also flowable water layer covered the earth, it is cloud of moisture & rain. The atmosphere has also difference of temperature, cold at the shelter atmosphere/outer space & warm near the earth plates. We should see how the entire system of turbulent liquid mass, the cloud & the ocean works.

This is such an awesome video! I didn’t know there was so much going on with other currents. I know a little about the east Australian current which is possibly getting faster and making the finish times for the Sydney to Hobart shorter and the circumpolar current around Antartica, I’ve heard that scientists thought it was super good at stopping anything from getting through but then they found a bunch of micro plastic and stuff. I’d love to see an episode on this if I wasn’t obvious enough already 😅

[@brentvanlith5105]

Other interglacial periods have ended with the final ice sheets melting. The AMOC is the only current explanation we have for glacial cycles starting up quickly as seen in past records. Stopping this from happening will stop the current ice age we live in. Only people could mess that up so much.

[@krzysiek6514]

It's funny that everyone is talking so much but no-one is actually doing something. Big corporations don't care so the governments don't care.

Karma will fet them soon enough

"Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it." We are all burning fossil fuels , so don't say no-one is doing anything.

[@krzysiek6514]

@@markae0 I believe that we don't have that much of an impact as regular people, but if we could just stop being such idiots, we might actually save our planet by reducing the need for getting new stuff. But the era of consumerism...

[@nicii179]

i learned somuch with this video. especially how it explains how “the planet heating up” creates lowering temperatures in europe. so often politicians use “oh the winters are getting colder there cant be climate change”

[@Jagdishtemkar1]

Those were some pretty incredible graphics... never seen such clear explanation of ocean currents before!

[@jessicagreen1478]

This is perfect for my upcoming class unit on climate factors!

I'm actually sitting in that same IKEA chair watching this video 😀

[@kaiko-san]

"Take that air!" got me 😂😂😂

[@rupertpupkin27]

Great info ....Thanks 👍

[@beth8775]

Yet my mom and brothers cannot be conviced that climate change is real or that climate and weather are different things. 😣

[@jeanneamato8278]

I’m surprised that humans have com this far, considering how criminally stupid and selfish we are.

[@ceili]

The fact that this is not a national emergency is scandalous

[@luker.6967]

A scandalous lack of scandal.

[@dragons_hook]

6:02 I never realized that the current is probably cutting into the ocean floor. That's a pretty cool visual!

[@mmeggnn]

“probably not gonna happen soon” haha….. hahahha… oh it hurts watching this now lol

[@Velvendalar]

Currently watching this as an extra credit assignment for my meteorology course my 3rd semester in college

[@samuelvieira9748]

Is it amazing that I knew how they worked before watching this video?

[@martinbeaudry5835]

One principle of current formation was not in this video… It’s ice formation. Since ice can’t have salt, for it to crystallize, it has to expulse the salt. Therefore creating an even heavier and colder water. Studies in 2004, if my memory serves me well, proved that with this process, the arctic was creating the force of 10x sverdrup and the antarctique about 40x. So the ice formation would be a main player in current formation. This is my assumption: So if there is less ice formation in the arctic, the warm waters of the pacific don’t go through the Bering strait which is helping to create the warm blob of the northern pacific that we see since 2016. That warm air and humidity has greatly warm temperatures in Alaska and Yukon and accelerated the melting of glaciers over there… It has more consequences that we never really talk but I guess it would be to long to post here.

[@mmeggnn]

thank u for sharing this! learning about this in my current paleogeoclimatology course and given this weeks update on the matter, its very eerie timing

Small changes make a big difference, that's why, I think,, if they made the pipeline to take water from the Great Lakes, I think Superior was proposed, to California it would be a disaster.

[@Azeria0955]

There's simply not enough media representation of climate change specially in live TV

[@LuisAldamiz]

If we act, the US dollar will collapse, because it's almost only sustained by Saudi oil since Nixon.

If it is ok to be smart, then it is ok for the presentation to be. The presentation is at a level for people who would not be curious enough to watch it. If they were, they would already know what density is.

[@PremierCCGuyMMXVI]

This was a great video #protecttheoceans Think of the fish

[@WeissM89]

Yep. Save the fishes. Don't eat fish. Watch Seaspiracy on Netflix.

[@donmisener]

Is it possible to get an update given the new information for the Beaufort Gyre as well as recent findings on the AMOC slowdown?

[@dubsar]

The swirly patterns of ocean circulation look a lot like those found on the dense atmospheres of gas giants.

[@Dragrath1]

Indeed that is because fluid dynamics is driving the time evolution of both systems

[@bsanders1]

Exactly what I thought of, Jupiter.
