Enormously detailed subject, full of variables, which I think you managed to encapsulate. You skimmed over the route taken by the Ocean Conveyor Belt in the Pacific Ocean, but the real importance was to illustrate that the water flows between temperature/pressure/salinity gradients. I have to say that I'd completely forgotten most of this, and you made it understandable to me again. So 👍 from me. This is exactly the sort of level of subject complexity that politicians who don't understand, or don't want to, are so keen to call fake. Yet specialists have this pretty well understood.

[@JustHaveaThink]

Thanks Andy. I was really nervous about making this one, because I know it's a contentious issue and I also know that there are a lot of you guys out there who have much greater knowledge of the subject than I do. I'm extremely grateful for your feedback and I'm very glad the content was about right. You're quite right about the Pacific part - it just turned out to be bloody awkward to get the model animation to move from Indian Ocean to Pacific without completely buggering up the flow of the video, so I kind of hoped that the Indian Ocean would serve as a general principle for both. All the best. Dave

[@MarcoNierop]

Wow, great video again! I find it amazing how all these huge current systems work... I have read somewhere that massive ammounts of freezing not-so-salt seawater, coming in from the AMOC at the east coast of Greenland, forming huge fields of pankace ice patches.. Salt is forced out of the ice, making the the remaining seatwater very salt, brime, and remain fluid at even very low temperatures below the normal freezing point. this brime is heavier than the water coming in from the AMOC stream, so it starts to sink and forming the thermo-haline conveyer belt. The speed and ammounts of brime sinking there is mind bogling huge. What some scientists are warning for is that the Greenland land based ice sheet may melt at such rate that it starts diluting the salt water with so much fresh water right there that it may reduce the sink rate or even prevent it from sinking at all, and this way in turn will form some sort of blockage of the AMOC, stopping the AMOC or changing its course altogether, and this in turn may lead to the paradox that due to reduced transported heat to western Europe the winters may get colder, while the rest of the world may experience it only getting hotter. But to be honest, its not what we see happening right now, winters AND summers only getting hotter in western Europe the last ten years.. We have had hardly any ice and snow this winter.. Facinating stuff this is,

[@stephenmason5827]

As we lose the ice in the Arctic and BOE becomes more pronounced the jetstream will move over Greenland being the coldest area, would expect drastic changes in the jetstream

[@lothairlondon]

Stratospheric layer...the jetstream is a dynamic system. please note that as a thermocouple the jetstream becomes more wavey with low solar flux and a weakening magnetosphere in general. The more wavey then the more equatorial warm air is brought north and cold polar air is brought south along steep trajectories meaning very hot and very cold air form steep temperature gradients along convergence lines. there is also a very steep electrical gradient which is why at these boundaries you get mega rainfall accompanied by often electrical storms and sometimes tornadoes. A blocked jetstream pattern is one where the polar oscillation stalls and this has nothing to do with heating or cooling. The science coming out is looking more and more like the jetstream is modulated by space weather....which would make sense as a thermo coupled system. Be interesting to see how the 9 year artic pulse plays into this general system of artic ice......certainly very credible science in terms of a lunisolar cycle.

[@dogphlap6749]

+Phil Moore I'd like to second that.

According to Peter Wadhams the northern "cog" of the conveyor belt is ceasing to function already. It is the point just south of Greenland. It is because of the major amount of ice sheet melt on Greenland adding fresh water to the ocean at the point where it used to be more saline. The ocean currents have already started changing as a result.

[@SEAQUEST-R]

More heat absorption by the Ocean is impacting Coral survival. Temperature rise in the sea has been cited as the cause of die off. The Ocean is also acidifying, making it hard for carbon based shells to form. Sea micro life, plants and corals contribute up to 70% of the Oxygen we breath. Everything is a feedback loop, not just temperatures and water cycle.

[@rf-bh3fh]

The Greenland melt is going full tilt , which corresponds to a great deal of stasis . Move melt leads to slower circulation. The seawater cannot dive when it becomes dilute.

[@Ironic1950]

Greenland, bigger than India, is a bowl, so while the edges may be melting a bit, the majority is accumulating more snow every year and is not in any danger of melting. Ditto the Antarctic; the UK science station in Antarctica is built on stilts, so it can be pumped up above the snowpack that has completely buried the earlier stations. Some floating icepack has broken off, but it doesn't mean Antarctica is melting!

You mentioned if the Amoc speeds up more heat will be sequestered into the ocean depths I guess that could buy us more time but ultimately the heat and energy imbalance is just further warming the ocean as a whole. The growing fresh water runoff from Greenland and Antarctica will lead to ocean stratification putting a cap on the sea surface slowing or stopping overturning circulation. If the AMOC shut down the UK may cool for a time but the Equator will cook as the heat transfer from the circulation fails. This could also lead to anoxic oceans, deoxygenation as ocean mixing breaks down. Please let me know if my understanding is wrong or you have anything to add🌎👍🏻

Hi Stephen. I think you make very good observations, as always. The bottom line (as I know you are extremely aware) is that we need radical and very quick change if we're going to achieve any mitigation of climate change at all.

HUGE question for the channel or anyone who is familiar enough with the science of The Global Ocean Conveyor Belt to affirm or debunk a theory of mine. Energy is a crisis in my opinion because of the amount we consume daily and the effects it is and will continue to have on the environment. So with being said a clean form of energy is a major puzzle we have to solve so as to preserve our own future. So why can't we engineer a method of harnessing the energy that is produced by the natural movement of the Ocean Conveyor Belt?? The Kardashev theory about the evolution of our civilization does imply that we will not become a Type 1 civilization until we are able to harness and put too use the energy of our own planet. I highly doubt that would be achievable through fossil fuels like crude oil. That is how I understand it to be and is why I have become so curious about the Global Oceanic Conveyor Belt. So is this in any way either realistically or theoretically plausible??? A Dyson Sphere is the first thing I would think of when discussing ways to harness said energy from the Ocean Conveyor Belt but of course we don't know how to actually execute the idea and put it to use.

It would certainly be interesting to understand if there's a causal relationship to some phenomena - such as: "300-foot ice disk spins over vortex in Maine river" kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZKWdKGAmL5miNE) * Arctic Ocean Circulation www.whoi.edu/know-your-ocean/ocean-topics/polar-research/arctic-ocean-circulation/ ** Tritium en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tritium + "... water made with tritium and having the formula T2O has a melting point of 40°F (4.5°C), compared with 32°F (0°C) for normal water." science.jrank.org/pages/6970/Tritium.html

@grindupBaker Awesome response! Loved it. Thank you.

The fact that we have magnetospheric weakening which appears to be non linear at the same time as possibly a 400/1000 year grand solar minimum and the magnetic poles now accelerating might play a role in a coupled ocean. Just like the jetstreams which are thought to be electrically coupled and effected by pertubations in the global electric circuit it is possible that electricity and plasma play a role in the driving of thermo saline pressure system. Also as we see charge separation layers in the atmosphere do we see this in the ocean also? Could plasma in dark mode also help drive the deep ocean currents and keep them from dissipating in terms of salinity and temperature. these ocean currents certainly cant be Coriolis related. We now know the the oceans waters displays many magnetic gyres because they have been mapped by satellite so in a liquid this will be electromagnetism.......so we should be looking towards the scientists that study coupling and electromagnetohydrodynamics....surely....especially as the earth is a dipole with a liquid surface. Until we look into a electromagnetic coupled thermohaline current model I'm sure that half of the science is missing. It's interesting to note the south polar deep ocean current and then map out the deep ocean ridge that circles Antarctica. Much work has been done in looking and the global electric circuit in terms of the geologic topography and how the ocean ridges and major faults are connected to this polar region in a electric Y type circuit. Does this also help in this Antarctic current. Now thinking of the question can we see a relationship to this current as least at the south pole in relation to the plasma gyre of the Aurora Australis in terms of a cross section of the plasma vortex modelled by Marklund convection. On another point the difference of a very salty electrolyte and charge differential to fresh water must play some role. You cant exclude electricity from a chemical or thermodynamic model otherwise you need to make up other stuff. we are seeing more and more in new climate modelling that the atmosphere behaves like a leaky capacitor seeking charge exchange between influences in space weather and ground both long and short term. Also from ground to earths core is connected with us living in a mostly charge neutral layer. Is it possible to measure current (amps) in a deep ocean stream or maybe charge differential from inside the ocean stream to the outside.....we may be surprised what we find as we were when science realised the voltage travelling through the ground along faultlines during quakes or the heating of the F2 layer of the ionisphere during major 6-8 mag earthquakes. Interesting that NASA is making a huge shift into investigating the role of space weather in major earthquakes now and more plasma science in general. There is definitely something lacking in the current models in oceanography and climate science in terms of minor greenhouse gas climate forcing. Not to say co2 has no effect but it seems way over weighted when considering other factors. As you know we are also in a modern comic ray maximum ( which as you know is inversely proportional to solar flux) and the decay through the atmosphere into smaller particles and aerosols which acts as cloud nucleation for H2O the major greenhouse gas...how big is this effect. glaring holes in many models like total solar irradiance only being a slice of the spectrum until that bit we thought did nothing in fact turns out to do much more than we thought. Science is still very much ego's and upholding theories as long as possible until they finally shatter like the slow train wreak we are currently witnessing in BIG BANG theory and exotic dark matter yet we will go on to see Brian Cox preach the gospel for as long as possible. One thing is we are definitely polluting our biosphere in terms of toxins running into the environment....we must agree on this at least. I have to say I do enjoy your shows.

This guy needs to go into the arctic and learn what cold is.

[@DavidSanchez-vx4bv]

This video and others published here has just confirmed me that the Climate is so complex, too many variables, from Sun to salt and lot of interactions that, when I read some conclusions that sound "definitive" and may lead us to an apocalypses, it is clear those supporting these conclusions think about themselves as "gods of knowledge" and are arrogant people with super egos that don't allow them to see the reality: We can get some conclusions, but the knowledge in Global Climate is to limited that we should expect these conclusions will change dramatically as we improve it. For the next 10-20 years there is NO way to make definitive conclusions on Global Climate, including of course, the ACC

"Americas favorite pretend wacky scientist Bill Nye". hahaha.

[@deanfowles3707]

I just wish itd hurry up and kiII us all. It's the waiting that's so awful.

[@greennights2388]

You're tinted orange - this is not the only one. change the lighting you're fading into the BG.

[@1star_god]

can't believe y'all called my boy Bill a "pretend" wacky scientist. My man is absolutely wack

[@pauldorz7519]

I was highly offended as he spit on my childhood.

[@Slippergypsy]

you can clearly see how ths deeply depressing topic has taken a toll on his humor over the years :(

[@DavidPaulNewtonScott]

Oh 500years a bit too slow.

[@TimeStampCopv4]

So are we heading to a new ice age or giant hot mess?

[@TimeStampCopv4]

I heard puffin birds were choking on bigger fish because of GW. I'm sure no puffling ever choked on a big fish before CO2 levels rose? @grindupBaker

[@greennights2388]

pretend wacky scientist - lol you noticed also? lol

There is no proof that human activity is inducing the climate change. This is a hypothesis flavored with politics.

[@Ironic1950]

I agree; blind acceptance of received 'wisdom', based on deeply flawed computer models, when real, sceptical science says the climate is far too complex and nuanced to be easily understood...forty years ago, climate hysteria was all about an impending ice age, now it's about warming. For many years, the 'conveyor' only went from the Carribbean to UK and back again,; now it seems it goes far further, a good illustration of how little we know...

[@shadowdance4666]

Ah ha Europe is catching a cold

[@DamonGarfield]

I'm wishing we had some global warming, I'm tired of these extra cold temperatures!
