I'm an oceanographer. My research was done in the arctic ocean studying sea ice and heat budgets. The concern about AMOC slowing is what it means for the southern ocean. The conveyor belt (as it is colloquially known as) is more than a heat distribution mechanism for the planet. It also distributes nutrients. As AMOC sinks, the North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) forms. This flows southward and eventually starts to upwell in a region called the Antarctic divergence. This upwelling brings in nutrients that in essence fuels the southern ocean's food web. This is why it is so productive and you have all the krill, baleen whales, orcas, etc, etc. A slowdown in AMOC will result in a slowdown of nutrients upwelling adversely impacting this ecosystem. HOWEVER, recent research have revealed what the potential mechanisms for a complete collapse of AMOC would look like. It is not just the melting of Greenland's ice. This melting does indeed slow down deep water formation. But to completely stop deep water formation, a sudden large volume injection of freshwater needs to happen and happen quickly. Melting of Greenland's ice does not achieve this. As the ice melts, there is mixing, the fresh water gets entrained, but regional currents move this water westward (causing sea level rise along the eastern seaboard of North America). What these new researches found was when a huge amount of ICE breaks off from Greenland, then carried south by currents where they then melt at once, it is this shock to the system that can stop deep water formation. As Greenland's ice melts, the likelihood of huge chunks of ice breaking off continues to decrease. Therefore, this mechanism is unlikely to occur. To determine and measure this mechanism, the researchers used isotopes of Thorium to make these assessments. A second mechanism is a sudden flush of freshwater into the North Atlantic. About 13k years ago, there was a lake in North America called Lake Agassiz. It formed due to the ice sheets melting back. Then around 12k years ago or so, there was a sudden influx of this freshwater into the North Atlantic and it is thought to have contributed to the Younger Dryas era where ocean circulation was disrupted and planet wide temperatures cooled considerably. (This is the 12k years ago period referenced in this video). There is a possibility for a similar situation happening today. In the arctic ocean, there is the Beaufort Gyre. It is an anticyclonic (clockwise) gyre which means there is a concentration of water in the middle (with subsequent downwelling). Due to increased riverine inputs, increased precipitation, loss of sea ice, there is a buildup of freshwater in this gyre. A new oscillatory system, the Arctic Dipole (of which I was a part of in discovering and describing this system) controls whether or not sea ice continues to flow within the arctic ocean or is pushed out through the Fram strait. Right now, this freshwater buildup is contained. If conditions change and become just right, this freshwater in the arctic ocean can be rapidly introduced into the North Atlantic. This would be the necessary shock to stop deep water formation. This is what people need to be keeping close tabs on. I do have my own channel here where I discuss many of such topics and have posted recent videos of this over the past several months.

@unadultratedtrini3 күн бұрын
So I should infer that a collapse could be beneficial as it may trigger a global rapid cooling of the poles while a heating of equatorial regions. Though in the short to medium term this could dramatically disrupt food cultivation as it will eliminate monsoons until the system basically self resets after the rapid cooling period. The issue is with our current rate of additional heating, does this offset the collapse? Can offsetting the collapse and reset actually present more of an issue towards long term survival than that short period of rapid cooling and disruption to food cultivation resulting in the same collapse but at a point where the rapid cooling doesn't take effect due to the excess heating. (Facts to be observed, if AMOC collapses, poles will rapidly cool during their winter periods due to the massively reduced sunlight; the counter will happen at equatorial region as it will begin to rapidly warm and not be regulated with precipitation taking places that are naturally well suited for farming to become deserts (given enough time))

When the swales are full, we can slow, spread and sink 50,000 liters / 13208 gallons of water, recharging the aquifer after giving a good drink to our fruit trees. I am also planting a whole bunch of support species such as acacias, vetiver and willow in order to create biomass that will further absorb carbon.

@@JBaxter-pi8oj Most water harvesting strategies are to control and reduce the surface flow by topology and permeable materials. The idea is to let the water soak into the ground to rejoin the shallow underground acquifers rather than erode the surface and flow away. Swales are basically channels of rocks and pebbles into which the water would flow and it's speed reduced as well as directed into low lying areas where it should soak in, think of them as a French drain or ditch. In India, there's an ancient practice of piling up the soil in chevrons against the natural flow of the water on the surface so they slow down and have a chance of soaking in. If we used permeable pavements on our streets, sidewalk and driveways, a lot more water would soak into the ground to replenish the aquifers. Of course, these are just the shallow aquifers and hence more likely to absorb pollutants. Permeable surfaces are certainly important but offers little mitigation against the probable climate changes from a cessation or slowdown of the AMOC and an AMOC slowdown would likely result in more snow and frozen soil moisture accumulation in the northern hemisphere as less heat is brought north hence the benefits of shallow aquifers accumulation might actually become a moot point. Shallow acquifers aren't really sufficient to buffer the changes in precipitation and snowmelt, it's just something we could do something about. By all means, we should try to harvest water wherever we can but really it has little benefit with AMOC concerns.

Back in 2015/2016, I was part of an Internnational Arctic Circle Traverse team. We setup the largest Firn Compaction network in history - 13 sites across the entire Greenland icesheet. We were trying to help NASA determine why we were experiencing a significantly accelorated melt beyond what the current models had predicted. We setup data stations, did firn compaction readings, setup Thermister strings 65 feet into the ice sheet, multiple ice core samples at each site, did vacuum measurements, setup radar to track the ice melting through the ice layers, chemical anaylsis of each core back 30 years (10 cm chunks), checked surface reflectivity, and monitored each site's movement using hyper-sensitive GPS tracking. We confirmed there were giant shelves of monophorus ice that were stopping the snow from being absorbed into the sheet and forcing the new melt water to exit off the the icesheet on the surface instead of it's normal absorbtion cycle. We did the same chemical measurements on our ice cores (going back 30 years).

@@OkieJammer2736 This is a long-winded answer because the effects are complex and ripple across the globe in multiple ways. Firstly, the arctic ice sheet won't be able to repair the ice lenses that have formed for decades to come. That damage has already been done, to be frank. Time and carbon polution-reduced atmosphere is the only healer. Locally, the ice sheet is "super lubricated" underneath causing faster movement combined with significant 7x normal run-off. The core damage is already done. We are already seeing some of the effects in increased and stronger weather events due to increased and more frequent carbon overloadiing of our oceans and in turn, clouds absorbing more warm air over the oceans. The most critical effect of the ocean's warming is the effect and ripple effect of it's effect on plankton, the ripple effect on the ocean's food source for much of what the ocean's creatures eat and also it's affet on land animals. Ocean's water levels in the southern hemisphere will increase due to the moon's gravitational force on our ocean. We expect the shifting jet streams to cause instability in weather causing incereased and exagerated droughts. The human effect - Currently, we have a problem of human ego (We can't possibly be affecting the entire planet. This is a normal cycle that can't be stopped.), Greed (Oil and Gas and iit's industries spreading misinformation to distract from it's affect. It's the cows, volcano's, etc that are the poluton. Not us. Don't look here). Ignorance (It's not warmer here. It's colder. The ocean looks the same to me.). What we choose to do as a species will either allow us to recover from what we have already done, or feel earth's inadvertant wrath, to be blunt. The two major absorbtions of carbon polution are trees and the ocean. It's not enough to simply use more effecient forms of energy that are available. How quickly we respond to this crisis will exponentially affect the future generations of everything, either positively or negatively. The ice lenses will eventually be buried deep enough into the Arctic icesheets and lose their effect on the water loss. However, that process can't even start to happen until we reach a balance point of the oceans' and trees' ability to absorb the excess carbon.

The authors stated that such transitions were natural 'hiding places' for submarines....sound waves bounce or are refracted by said transitions. Regular mapping of the currents was necessary, as they changed over the seasons. Almost as a footnote, the author noted a weakening in the 'transporter current' that kept central Europe from freezing. 'They' saw the trends over 50 years ago, hid it under Defense.

I concentrate on this because it’s the only tangible thing I can influence. I don’t expect emissions to decrease until the number of emitters decrease, both consumers and producers. How that’s going to play out is still an unknown - probably a combination of the chaos caused by extreme weather direct damage and climate refugee indirect impacts. There is no evidence to date that individuals and countries are willing to voluntarily reduce their levels of consumption (aka ‘standard of living’) - and considerable evidence to the contrary. Most disappointingly, it appears that democracies are particularly hostile to needed changes.

I know that I'm not accounting for biomass etc but my point is that the amount of CO2 we are emitting is no joke. Your approach feels "too slow" proportionally speaking. And if we account for biomass, according to chatgpt the amazon stores like 900 gigatons of CO2 at most, which equals to 25 of emissions at the current year. In other words, we would need to create four full replicas of the amazonia each century to keep up with the rate of emissions.

As a scientist studying AMOC (and in agreement with those scientists who did not want to be interviewed - I’m pretty sure I know who they are), I found this report to be highly biased. Yes, some climate models indicate a 50% slowdown, but just as many indicate no significant change. And higher-resolution models which get the physics of the Southern Ocean and eddies correct don’t suggest much of a slowdown. And AMOC is controlled as much by physical wind-driven upwelling in the Southern Ocean and tropics that is not modeled well in many low-resolution climate models. Also, the idea of a “collapse” comes from model runs in the 1980s that were significantly biased because the salinity and temperature of the North Atlantic was not close to correct. I suspect many people referencing the paper as proof of a “collapse” have never actually read it. Look it up yourself and decide for yourself.

But isn't the whole point that the patterns emerging in the temperature anomalies of the North Atlantic are reminiscent of the cooling patch that an AMOC slow-down would produce. This is *despite* the (modern) model predictions suggesting that no major AMOC slowdown should be happening at our current warming. We both know that models are not perfect and unrecognized model biases could mean that we've underestimated the sensitivity of the AMOC to perturbation. If this is true (and I agree - it's early days in trying to determine from short noisy observational datasets if this is indeed what is happening), then a major slowdown of the AMOC could have big consequences over the coming decades.

@leighanddansinclair16964 күн бұрын
Water has an incredible ability to absorb and transport heat. The AMOC carries gargantuan amounts of heat from the tropics to near the polar regions. Now, warm surface temperatures cause air to warm and expand (becoming low pressure regions). Cold surface temperatures cause air to cool and contract (becoming high pressure regions). Air tries to flow from high pressure regions to low pressure regions, which results in our winds and weather. When you change the AMOC, what you do is cause a major change the pattern of surface temperatures. Changing this pattern of temperatures changes the location and direction of winds, and therefore changes the location and strength of things like rainfall regions. These effects can occur far away (literally on the other side of the planet) from the north Atlantic.

That figure, as you just pointed out, was based on 25 AMOC collapses in the last Ice Age. We have not been in an Ice Age for over ten thousand years, and we are not "due": one per 5K years is during Ice Ages, not Interglacials. This just feeds the narrative of the skeptics.

Scientists are looking at several indicators of an AMOC slowdown, eg salinity changes at various depths in the Atlantic. Some other indicators can be attributable to other climate change impacts, eg increasing sea-level rise & coastal erosion on the usa east coast, and the warming / drying of the Amazon rainforest etc. Whatever the current status of the AMOC, the only thing we can do to "fix it" is to reduce emissions. Eliminating human emissions is required for many other climate related solutions, so let's do that anyway.

As an advocate of ecosystem sustenance for all of life, I recommend that current agricultural practices change so that soils can rebound with native mycorrhiza and fertility, and so that ecosystems can revert to fully supporting native plant and animal species. Practices include water harvesting, sustainable grazing practices, keeping the soil covered with plants, permaculture and creating 30-50 ft. wild zones (akin to British hedgerows) between fields and property boundaries, and wider wild zones (200 ft or more each side of a river, lake or stream) in all riparian areas. These practices allow farms and ranches to become important carbon sinks which help curb climate changes and halt the diminishment of species. Also, ag practices of pesticide, herbicide and fungicide uses that damage internal organs and biological systems need to be halted to clean up waters and produce foods that are non-damaging to health. Ag practices need to reflect the climate in which foods are grown such that extra water and other resources are not necessary to produce foods. This will restore ground water levels and natural stream and river flows. Also these techniques utilize fewer fossil fuels which all add to global climate changes. In areas of higher wildfire dangers, goats and sheep need to be herded over these terrains every spring and summer to lessen the fuels and thin forests to make them less prone to catastrophic wild crown fires. Reducing catastrophic crown fires also counterbalances climate change.

There are natural cycles. The major ones currently operate on 100,000 year timescales. The last 10,000 years has been remarkably stable, allowing human civilization to develop. But much of the preceding 90,000 years was characterized by major climate instability that would have disrupted any fledgling civilizations. Calculations suggest that our current *stable* climate could persist for another 10,000 years, but this stability is *fragile*. Theory and observation tell us that our climate system is 'twitchy', responding suddenly and unpredictably to perturbations. Rising global temperatures caused by greenhouse gases represents a major 'kick' to our climate system The physics is simple and clear. Regardless of whether CO2 has previously been a 'driver' of climate change in the past, or an 'enhancer' of climate changes triggered by other things, the 50% increase in CO2 over pre-industrial levels (to levels not seen in over 3,000,000 years) *will* perturb the finely-balanced energy budget of earth's surface. Nobody knows for sure what this warming will trigger, but we know enough to make educated guesses, and there are scenarios - like a slowdown/shutdown of the AMOC - that lead to a world characterized by rapid climate *instability*. Human society (and global ecologies) could adjust to gradual climate changes (centuries to millennia). But instabilities that can occur within years to decades would be nearly impossible to adapt to. The result would be chaos.

So 2 mile thick ice sheets melting between 15-12k years ago releasing enough melt water to raise global sea levels by 400' didn't cause the AMOC to stop but the current melting in ice sheets with indistinguishable sea level rise is causing it to stop. That is much like the melting permafrost consisting of preserved plant matter being a net carbon emitter rather than a net carbon sink despite the conditions being present that caused the plant matter to be deposited there in the first place providing the source of the carbon emissions now. Climastrology is cognitive dissonance, all the way down.

My conclusion: we are doomed, not to extinction but to drasticly reduced quality of life due to extemes of climate, first heating that will displace large populations due to flood and fire and cause increased costs in goods and loose of insurability. (Later by the AMOC collapse perhaps) More imigration and reduced food and land resources leading to stresses on democratic institutions and less international cooperation. All favoring greater autocratic governments and more war. Humans will adapt but at a cost to civilization and population. Perhaps this is the "great population reset" needed for the next (22nd) century. This is based on 1) the fact that climate change first discussed in the late 1980's when atmospheric CO2 in 1990 was 354 ppm. This is now over 420 and rising every year by 1 - 2 ppm. In 1990, CO2 emissions totaled 19.5 GT. This is now over 36 GT. (Pre industrial atmospheric CO2 was 280, and emissions in 1940s was less than 5 GT) 2) during the covid year when basicly the entire world economic activity was drasticly reduced, the Amospheric CO2 continued to rise but at a slightly lower rate. CO2 emissions did fall by 1.9 GT between 2019 and 2020. But atmospheric CO2 continued to rise. 3) Humanity will not tolerate economic slow down of the covid years as a perminant condition. 4) even if we have Zero increase in emissions, because the half life of CO2 is measured in over a century,which means that for at least a generation or two, Climate change will continue. 5) feed back loop-processes progressing toward their feed back point: loss of arctic ice, wild fires (contributing to greenhouse gasses and soot spread by wind to fall on glaciers facilitating melt), and permafrost melting.

the following is more serious than cynical, but there are a few things that have got me thinking: - If the AMOC keeps collapsing over millions of years due to global warming, without us, then how does us our CO2 materially change the cycle? - If the heating of the AMOC, thereby causing it's collapse, encourages global cooling, then what is the major concern of us being within an interglacial warming period, which again happens with or without us? - CO2 being the main input source for plants and green life on the planet is also produced through the natural breaking down of methane. Methane being the major output of biological decay, creates CO2 which is absorbed by plantlife, which create fruits/veg/nuts/pollen, etc, etc....and some of the largest zones for this are monsoon flood zones/flat-lands....is this show insinuating that we need to reduce floodlands used as a significant part of our delicate eco-system by reducing rainfall?? - Is it just me, or does the video really just confirm that the planet is in constant flux, and we (as a race bent on survival at any cost) don't want to face the inevitability of the next pending move in the constantly advancing natural global adjustment and are therefore striving for solutions to fight against nature ?? (that we basically cannot accept that the world is changing regardless of our efforts, and that we, in the delusional belief that our species is eternal, need to fix the planet???) I was always a bit 'on the fence' when reading how farming is a high carbon industry, when I also realise that vast acreage is destroyed on a regular basis for development of more industrial zones...the same green acreage that would have been absorbing the carbon output from farming.........natural carbon capture plants. This video about the AMOC , I think, just swung me into the inevitability of our situation, no matter what we do. Our collective output has a micro-fractional impact on the natural order of things, and coupled with the weakening magnetic field (which also causes heating through increased solar radiation) the next stage is coming, and mining heavy metals to create electric cars, flying fruits and vegetables all over the world, and recycling your tinfoil hat wont change a thing.

If I am getting this correctly, you think that the AMOC is slowing due to global warming because of CO2 emissions, but once it slows or stops, the earth will begin the glacial cycle that is going to happen anyway and the earth will get dramatically cooler, affecting rainfall, which is going to come in areas previously not getting much creating more methane. If this is true, wouldn't this also prevent methane now rising fron areas where permafrost is thawing? Wouldn't cooler northern European temps also cause the Greenland ice sheet to reglaciate instead of melting? That sounds alot like a loop of warm and cool periods. One thing is obvious in this video, and that is the fact that we are nearing the end of a warming period that is a natural cycle and we still are several degrees temperature below the last warming cycle. I think the Milankavitch cycles are the most dominant factor while you never mentioned that at all, as if it doesn't exist.I suspect that the AMOC will cycle more rapidly if what your evidence provides is correct but will eventually reach a point where the Milankovitch cycles make it a permanent cooling until the next interglacial rather than expediting the next glacial period of the current ice age. Trust me, you do not want to see another deep freezing glacial period where the ice is many miles thick and most of earth is covered in ice, but history shows that it will happen. Humanity needs to plan for this with every modern technological advantage we can muster. I also do not trust any science that does not include the amount of CO2 produced by breathing animals such as 8 BILLION humans. I need to see and hear from scientists who account for all factors rather than just CO2 and wild predictions that exclude all other factors. For example, If CO2 that represents about .04% of the current atmosphere is such a driving factor, what caused the melting of the glaciers before mankind even existed? Where did such an enormous amount of CO2 come from to cause warming enough to cause the current interglacial warm period? The answer is there, but scientists affiliated with the IPCC are not interested in anything that could stop cash flow to them and their never ending studies on CO2. They really should get to the bottom of what created all warming and cooling periods.
@cyber55154 күн бұрын
"I think the Milankovitch cycles are the most dominant factor". I agree. Plus, the ice core data shows that when the temperature drops, due to the Milankovitch cycles, the ocean dramatically absorbs much of the CO2 in the atmosphere. By destroying the entire fossil fuel industry, our ability to put some CO2 back to keep the planet warm is gone.

The average US Citizen can cut their emissions by nearly 50% with nothing but behavioral changes. As a country we could cut our climate impact by a similar amount without asking politicians to do a thing. These things could happen immediately.

I’m from the UK and what terrifies me is that after 10 or so years of looking into renewable energy sources and finally seeing the light on moving away from fossil fuels some countries are starting to get governments that are climate change denier’s and want to reintroduce our reliance upon fossil fuels. However there are also some countries that are more than happy to buy Oil, Gas and poor quality coal from countries that are under restrictions and are exporting to countries like China, India and some Eastern European countries which are getting these fuels at a discounted price. Wa also have countries that have a vested interest in selling fossil fuels to stay rich and relevant energy providers. For example Russia is currently producing some of the dirtiest coal in the world and exporting it to whoever is willing to buy it at a huge cost saving, however the countries that are buying it are using it to produce cheap electricity for their expanding energy requirements for their expanding economies. Until the world is willing to invest in renewable energy we are just going to destroy our environment and by then it will be too late. Heck even the UK no longer uses coal to produce electricity.

Will the road be a little bumpy? Sure, but man made climate change is NOT going to be the end of the world. We have added a lot of carbon into the carbon cycle, and yes that is warming the planet some, but at the same time we can also work to remove that carbon from the carbon cycle which will in turn cool the climate back down.
