- The Gulf Stream and the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation exert a huge influence on heat and energy distribution around our planet. Research shows that our warming atmosphere is affecting this vital system so profoundly that it's at risk of shutting down altogether with very severe consequences for our civilisation. So what's going on?

Fun fact. The reason subs love operating around Greenland and Iceland is because of the Gulf Stream. It literally creates a background noise that you can hide in not to mention thermal variations distort sounds.
That's a cool tidbit I didn't know.
Great channel.
I lived until recently on the west coast of Ireland. Between 2001 and the present day (2020) I noticed a significant shift in the prevailing winds from South Westerly to North Westerly.
This change is I feel consistent and as such worthy of research.
I remember the story of benjamin Franklin discovering the ocean currents through basic observation while on a trip oversears. Your observations may be equally important.
I so appreciate and commend the quality of your graphic support of subject matter. The value of having an audience say, "I see what you mean." through the design and use of exceptional, complementary graphics can't be overlooked when well deserved praise is given to this channel. Working in video I know animation costs both to create and use so thank you for going the extra mile and dollar to show us when possible.

I've watched now several of your video presentations, and I can say without reservation or hesitation that they are among the most insightful and informative videos I know of, and I am very grateful to have discovered you!
Hey Dave! Could you please do a follow up in the coming months?
Very good presentation. Clear and detailed. Love it.
Very well presented and a good argument. Now that over a year has gone by it would be good to see a catchup for comparison.
Near the end you mention the fact we need to reforest large swathes and stop the clearing of forested areas. All very good advice.
But here's the rub. I'm in Australia and some would say we have a greater footprint per capita than many countries which may well be true. Those educated among us will say they are all doing their bit to undo the damage done by the farmers of this country who cleared the land for food crops, grazing, etc as has happened in every country of the world.
But in my little street (dirt road because it is a rural area) the blocks were owned by rural people who had a few cows or horses or did nothing except watch the birds in the trees.
Then those people got old and sold their blocks to city people with a heap of money who wanted a tree change. But as soon as they got out here they didn't want the trees anymore because they blocked their view or a tree might fall down or a fire might come through. So they cleared all the trees which left the land denuded, full of weeds and the wildlife had nowhere to live anymore.
I have watched each block get cleared over the last 5yrs until mine is the only bush block left along this road servicing around 3000acres of what used to be natural bush that never burnt and which was full of wildlife and rare flowers. Same story basically everywhere.
These are the same people who whinge about climate change, demand every country pull its weight, insist on recycling even when it just goes to landfill anyway, buy every conceivable piece of Chinese made plastic junk, drive their kids all over the place in their new 4x4 and stick their heads in the sand saying they aren't the ones causing global warming.
Then they get together and demand I deal with the fire hazards on my property (the trees and bushes) and tidy up my land in keeping with the rest of the street! But I'm not the one causing the problems! They are! They are the ones causing global warming, not me. I don't buy all that junk, I recycle within my property, grow organic food to sell, don't fiddle with the environment, don't drive all over the country whizzing kids left right and centre.
So just because a person is apparently gentrified and educated, doesn't mean they don't also think the sun doesn't shine out their backside.
I am educated in climate sciences. I mind my own business and get on with life and I do treat the earth respectfully and my footprint is very small, something those new city people should "Just Have A Think About" !!
Well said. A person's environmental footprint tends to be in direct proportion to income.
Those with the most houses and air and road miles often do the most climate lecturing and look ridiculous when they stand for parliament on this issue.
They rarely support even a tentative look at nuclear power as a possibility to avoid land grabbing solar and wind expansion or a small population agenda to reduce pressure on Australia's environment.
I hope you hold out for the sake of the animals, insects and birds on your bush block.
The U.S. has more forested lands than a century ago. Spin that.
ok I just stumbled across this channel and I'm really glad that I did - even though most of your prognoses don't exactly instil confidence
i live in cornwall england and can report that the gulf stream kept us toasty this winter.
It's snowing at latitude 46N here right now May 12th so I'm shaking my fist at you with your fancy schmancy Gulf Stream showoff. Well I can make snowmen so ner.
Luck bugger.
I live in the American Rockies and our weather is characteristically schizophrenic.
Well go further inland and you might find people have been experiencing more cold snaps than usual. First frost date for me is end December / start January (gardeners pay attention to stuff like that), been having frosty nights since start of November. Played havoc with my broad beans this year.

@@jammcguire1276 idiots trying to feel better about something they don’t understand but frightens them nonetheless.
Speaking as a physics graduate with a good understanding of fluid dynamics and thermodynamics, and a climate activist with a lot of knowledge about the effects of CO2 on the atmosphere. I'd just like to share one point regarding the future climate of the planet. We're all screwed.
According your estimations, what could be the effects of a complete shutdown of the AMOC in the Earth’s climate? More heat waves, cold waves, droughts? It could be interesting to know that.
@@tulukdek8898 I would suggest that if AMOC completely shut down then climatic changes, however disastrous, may not be the worst of our worries. AMOC not only redistributes heat around the Earth, but also sends oxygen from the atmosphere and ocean surface layers deep into the oceans. Without that oxygen, complex life in the depths will die, and the oceans will become anoxic and euxinic, as sulphur eating bacteria generate highly toxic hydrogen sulphide. The H2S would spread throughout the oceans and eventually escape to the atmosphere, destroying the ozone layer and poisoning complex terrestrial life as well. We cannot live on a planet with a dead ocean.
@@tulukdek8898 It's just one of a number of processes so accurate predictions are nerly impossible, but taken together with all the other climatic effects, reduced albedo from lower sea ice, increased ocean temperatures, methane release from melting permafrosts in arctic regions, to name a few, my fear is eponentially worsening warming.
@@tulukdek8898 Think of Earth's oceans as our planetary heatsink, like a drink with ice in it. While there is still ice present in the water, the temp of the liquid remains stable. Once the ice has melted, every joule of heat energy then causes rapid temperature rise. We have nearly completely lost the northern ice. Not long now.
Add to this all of the methane being released at the North Pole currently which is 22x more heat retaining than CO2 and it is looking like even if we had a will to stop it, we'd be shit outta luck.
Yes. WASF. Get ready for hell on earth.
My beach on my town on north Puerto Rico is gone the water has grown so much 😩.
Incredibly unlikely. For all the hype of the ocean level rise, it's only going up about an inch a decade. That's gonna take a long LONG time to swallow an entire beach. I'm calling BS.
Most likely was washed away it happens everywhere
@@davepeterschmidt5818 ~1.6" / decade now. Some beaches have gradient as shallow as 1:100 so the shoreline for those would now be creeping in at 13 feet / decade now.

Beautifully made. Thank you!
you by far have the best way to explain things thanks.
Thank you for educating me on this topic.
This was an excellent explanation of a complex topic. The speaker was a skilled communicator. The "visuals: were most helpful. Keep spreading this lecture and the urgency. Thanks.
I can still remember people asking me how accurate the movie was back in 2004. I had to tread the fine line between its wild inaccuracies to its surprisingly well depicted accuracies in my quick explanation.
Basically, the film had to hugely condense in time many triggers that could well occur. It did depict enormous heat energy being introduced into the climate system which triggered vast storms. And it did depict the ocean circularly systems being shut down.
You certainly got a lot of HICC effects in 2 hours. 😀
BTW, excellent graphical animations and video, Dave.
@@erdelegy 👍
Stopping the AMOC wouldn't cool any part of North America. They had to do that because U.S. movie for U.S. audience so has to be U.S. heroes/excitement. You don't watch many U.S. movies do you ? If they showed Europe then U.S.ians would be like "Britain, Europe ? Is that in the Far East near Virginia or the southern hemisphere near Texas ? Where's my Miss Teen South Carolina Global Atlas gone ?
Air drawn down from the stratosphere causes cryogenic cooling? Never mind that as air descends it heats up (see the universal gas law, a subset of which is the adiabatic lapse rate). This isn't a plot hole, it's a rewriting of the laws of physics. As far as science goes, the story is not even up to cartoon level. It's the same level as "What if you could walk through walls!" and then pretending to make real world comparisons.
Don't get me wrong; I had fun with the movie! But if there were fire breathing dragons and magicians, would you seriously compare it to weather or ocean patterns on our earth?
It's a scary movie whose inaccuracies are so profound that it "innoculates" viewers against other scary stories, one of which might someday have a few accurate things to say.
I thought I knew how this worked but your deeper dive into the intricacies of ocean currents has heightened my concern about Earth's future climate.
CO2 at 0.04% is a 2,500th of the atmosphere. That means to warm the climate by just 1"C carbon dioxide molecules must capture 2500"C of heat energy. That is bonkers. It also breaks all the laws of thermodynamics.
Methane at 0.00017% is a 600,000th of the atmosphere so it's even more bonkers.
However, the climate is changing. This is because of deliberate geoengineering programmes, in particular ozone thinning away from the poles. Though largely unreported ozone thinning effect is directly observable, this summer you can see a unnaturally bright sun just as we did last year. Under these conditions the pain felt when looking at the sun is not only from the increase in visible light but the much larger increase in infrared. (Look up at the sky and you will see a range of geoengineering operations in progress, these include chemtrail induced cloud or hazing, ripple patterns caused by HAARP installations, bizarre and unnatural cloud formations).
Climate change is a programme to force change in accordance with the implementation of Agenda 21 /2030. Current events demonstrate this transition is well underway and will involve massive population cull through injected nanotech (re transhumanist programme). Agenda 21 also sees the permanent loss of all property rights with the introduction of universal basic income (ref NESARA/GESARA) and has/is being promoted by The World Economic Forum.

I have included a debunking of 'accumulated heat' as it is so often used to explain how trace elements, so called 'greenhouse gasses', can warm the planet.
Accumulated heat whilst sounding a reasonable explanation of how heat can build up is rather nothing more than gobbledygook. In fact it shows those using such arguments do not even understand what heat is.
When we measure temperature we are measuring the heat energy a thing is losing. In short heat is a measurement of flow, the transfer of heat energy and this will always be in the direction towards the colder. For this reason a thing can never 'accumulate heat' in the way those advocating CO2 climate change describe. The temperature of a body is the measure of heat output, it can never be greater than the measure of heat input. Output = input. When a thing is warmed it is heated to an equivalent of the heat input. If this input is not maintained it will cool. Those that propose that heat can build up to be hotter than the total measure of heat input at a given time either do not understand what heat is or are being deliberately misleading. To illustrate, an object being heated by a flame can never become hotter than that flame, it's temperature cannot rise inexorably to the temperature of the sun for instance. Heat cannot be accumulated. When we think about it common sense tells us this must be the case.
NASA and even Nobel Prize winning physicists have expounded 'accumulated heat' as the explanation how CO2 is able to warm the atmosphere. They claim that over hundreds of years CO2 has captured heat energy and this heat has 'accumulated' to produce a serious warming effect. As I have just explained, this is totally impossible and fundamentally violates all the laws of thermodynamics. That respected scientists should support such uneducated, unthinking nonsense is disturbing and only reflects that in terms of being able to think clearly about a subject they have no facility or inclination. These are the Dark Ages of science. Belief has outweighed logic or any critical thought. It tells us that we should not unquestioningly accept anything we are told, that experts can be fools.
(NB: be aware of attempts to discard thermodynamics by talking about biology.
Eg. 'It only takes a drop of arsenic to kill a person.'
This would be somewhat desperate, muddled thinking. Clearly biological processes based on the reaction of a cell are not the same as the laws of physics/thermodynamics).
@@doobidoo095 Your explanation of the science of heat gain and radiation is sketchy at best and your playing of the UN card is as ridiculous as blaming Qanon or George Sotos for global warming. Even if you are a climate scientist, your explanation is contrary to the informed opinions of 97% of your peers.
@@bobyoung1698 A doubling of Co2 from 400ppm to 800ppm means almost nothing! So, do not worry. And the ocean currents wont stop until the earth stop spinning! And the sun is dark.

The two years of commie cough compliance have seen ZERO impact on cases, as well as new variants being reported almost every 3 months. Meanwhile, deaths from the flu have disappeared. Supposedly. And governments across the globe have been increasingly restricting even the freedom of SPEECH under the premise of 'fighting a pandemic.'
A new solar minimum is approaching, which should last for around 15 years. One took place from the mid 60s to the mid 80s, and the usual suspects said we needed to stop using cheap (i.e. 'fossil' based) energy, lose freedoms, and cost the countryside with solar panels and paint our roofs black. This would forestall the coming 'global COOLING' disaster.

Greetings from Cumbria in the U.K.
stay safe and well.
To make a difference in our life time we must overcome overpopulation , wastefulness , war , corporate greed , apathy , political corruption , caste hierarchy, prejudice , lack of education ...... and on so many levels we have a government totally intent on exacerbating all the contributing factors for our own demise for the benefit of the less than one percent . Very little can be done until those in charge cannot keep it from coming under their own door . Then well be told "why haven't you've done something sooner " !!!!!!!
overpopulation will be solved through the expansion of the electrical grid. getting poor areas cheap electricity brings them out of poverty which reduces the population growth. China and India have already seen a lowering of their fertility rate due to the increase of access to cheap electricity. Insisting they build wind and solar right out of the gate is not only unfeasible but destructive to local wildlife and impossible for any 3rd world country to adhere to.
Lifetime is one word, Michael and over population is a farce. One could also make the argument that the education system, is nothing more than social conditioning.

I've been pointing to the ocean stream slowing for years. It's not just atmos gasses, heat island effects play a major role in the process.
Dr Jerry McNanus proposed a theory on cycles of the AMOC. One point he made was the time periods in studying the AMOC are just too short for temperature studies. He used CaCO3 and I think plutonium isotopes to show cycles over more useable time frame.
NICE JOB AS ALWAYS

I live on the west coast of Scotland (close to the 'isle of Mull') and for the last 48yrs the weather has definitely changed.fir better or worse it has changed.

@@iancampbell6925 I agree. However change that is so rapid it can be witnessed by a single individual is unlike previous changes. In fact you can't make any deductions about world climate from you own observations but what is again different is that worldwide people have noticed changes to their own weather patterns within their own lifetime. If you view these observations in the light of scientific study of climate patterns they can be seen as symptoms of the monumental changes that we might be going to endure if we don't control our co2 emissions.

The planet earth is spinning at around 1600 kilometers per hour. How does this factor in all of this? It seems logical that this motion must have some effect.This creates the westerly winds.

It always amuses me that these pseudo scientists always pick 1860 as the start date for their pseudo science computer model comparisons. 1860 was the end of the 500 year 'little ice age', where temperatures had fallen by at least 2C after the 'medieval warm period', when nobody could blame 4x4's. The climate change pseudo scientists know this & always seek to make even more spurious reasons as to why the current fraud is different from previous warming periods - and it is different, nobody made appalling and fraudulent policies which tore down rainforests on previous occasions - nor did they decide that burning trees was a good way to reduce CO2...
@@Tengooda skepticalscience is nothing of the sort, it's a well-funded pseudoscience support system. Their name is a misnomer which is designed to support the other inaccuracies by deceit. I note that they aren't even remotely sceptical about the policies to burn trees to reduce CO2, even though, for example, it would need all the trees in America for just one year's worth of electricity & then at least 20 years for the regrowth of 50% of them.

This is a challenging one, and I think we should still remain quite cautious about the AMOC undergoing some sort of abrupt weakening. This is because we are still studying it - there is still large parts of the system we don't know a lot about in terms of behavior.
Not only are there quite a lot of oceanic components that work to speed up or slow down the circulation (salinity and temperature being the main ones), but there's also the effects of the atmospheric surface wind too.
Lets say for example, that at the current rate of freshening of the surface water, combined with the usual Westerly
winds flowing from Newfoundland to the UK - that the collapse of the AMOC is reached in 200 years.
But that might not be so. Here's why....
Although the freshwater around Greenland is projected to steadily increase this century, the wind forcing is anything but steady, and that's much more concerning. I say this because the jet stream is already getting very weak today.
This causes weather systems to move much slower, but also in funny directions*
Honestly, we need only 3 or 5 years where the westerlies temporarily weaken (directly caused by unusually warm arctic air), and this instantly stops dragging the ocean surface water along with it.
So it's true the ocean currents can affect the weather above them, but know this that it can work the other way round, if the wind anomaly is strong enough and that lasts long enough.
Such a pattern of weather is far too difficult to foresee in our lifetimes, but we know for certain that more of these 'blocking atmospheric events' will happen due to Arctic Amplification. So, I wouldn't be surprised if one of these events were to slow the circulation more suddenly in our lifetime.
Fascinating. I knew of the hazard to AMOC but surprised to learn surface temps still likely to rise. Cooler Atlantic will mean less rain for the UK. That's a mixed bag, but you'll get better use out of solar.

More likely 'be influenced by!"
Yes, if your agenda is to promote the appearance of warming temperatures, one would start at the coldest point (1860 conclusion of the little ice age) and proceed from there. If this was meant to be a HONEST report on changing temperatures, one would start in the middle of the medieval warm period. But if they started there, contemporary temperatures would appear COOL by comparison! Can't really promote a global warming scam admitting current temps are really not that warm.
This is my my science teacher told us there is a lot of warmth in the Atlantic ocean and everyone looked at him like he was nuts. In context of course he was right.
Brilliant presentation - thank you so much
What a brilliant channel
I think the way we're acting around the world (almost) should inspire people as to the results on nature, air quality and wildlife. Stunning. We can't go back to "business as usual"...
You know ocean temps have gone up 2.5 degrees in the gulf since we have lost global dimming right? Short period of time for that and it's not good.
Yes we can have economic devastation,mass unemployment,no foreign travel,shorter life expectancy and unreliable food supply as energy is unreliable thanks to high time, cloudy days and no wind.
It's going to be fantastic!!.....not.
@@martinbrandom2654 there are dozens of typed of batteries that would allow for storage of energy, from literally pumping air into cavernous storage areas, holding it under high pressure, then the high pressure, when released, runs turbines that produce energy when needed. That's a very old kind of battery that can be used now, as well. Look into other typed of old batteries!
Note: battery, in this usage, is not a heavy, black plastic clad box of acid you stick in your vehicle, but literally ANY method of storage of energy to be used later. Like pushing/pulling a weight up an incline when energy is available, holding potential kinetic energy in it for any sort of indefinite period of time, and it waiting there to be accessed at any future point in time. This is a description of another ancient kind of battery, in fact.
There are also newer kinds of batteries being tested and created all the time. They will, eventually, be able to greatly enhance our energy storage, as well.

As a mariner for more than 50 years we noticed particularly, in the last 10 before retirement in 2012. The sea temperatures had risen on average 1 degree C, this was more noticeable in tropical waters around New Guinea and the Pacific. This rise caused us to run the ship's engines slower, due to less engine cooling & higher exhaust gas temps. The storms became more frequent and much stronger. I'm pleased to be retired.
This post is bull!
If the sea temperature had risen by a full degree, the polar ice caps would have melted...
WTF are you even talking about?
It is of course impossible for the gulf stream to "collapse".
It is also impossible that human beings, who produce less CO2 than the ants, are the cause of any change in temperature...
And no, Skippy, ants are not "carbon neutral", ants are animals just like all the others and they fix oxygen, liberate CO2 and there is absolutely nothing that ants do that fixes any CO2...at all whatsoever.
Water vapor is the culprit, the main greenhouse gas and human beings produce absolutely zero % of atmospheric water vapor.
Furthermore global CO2 levels are 40% below what is optimal for plant growth, we should by trying to produce more CO2, not less.
A blue water even is inevitable because the true causes of temperature variation are cyclical in nature and cannot be stopped, particularly the passage of the solar system through galactic dust lanes which block so much sunlight that, were it not for the giants, mainly Jupiter, life on the Earth would never have occurred.
Blue water in the arctic means tropical weather up to about the 35th parallel...the planet will turn into a garden paradise and remain so for tens of thousands of years.
We need to stop all the fear mongering global warming lies and get on about the real business of all relatively conscious sentient beings throughout the universe... Planetary Management, mainly Desert Reclamation.

Exactly. People forget that often. Winters even before 1750 were often hot and cold, snow or no snow, but summers even in the Canadian north were rarely below 0 unless you are above 75 N latitude or if our orbit like it was pre-20k ago was further from the sun.

I'm not a scientist but has anyone ever taken account the amount of salt humans put into the Ocean's? Every year tons of salt are spread across our roads which in turn runs into our Ocean's. I've listened about how our Ocean's are warming and melting our ice. But what about us increasing the salinity? What affect is our salt run off doing to our Ocean's?
I would guess at it being a net neutral effect as the cheapest method for salt production is the from evaporated sea water. I might be wrong in this though as they do extract huge quantities of minerals globally
Yes, this always come up during ecological classes and presentations, and the effects of salt pollution are profound, both at the local level and at global oceanic levels. Salt by itself isn't necessarily ecologically dangerous by itself, but since salt is heavily used during industrial mining then the resulting sludge can be quite deadly. Places like W Virginia don't increase oceanic salinity because they are far from the ocean, but places like Montana do.
However, salt is usually deposited in oceans simply by water running over mineral deposits, such as you would see in rivers as they cut through the ground. Indeed, our oceans used to be fresh water and they gradually became saltier. Eventually, they will be become too salty to support life.
Since most of the Earth's surface was once under water at one time or another, it follows that human irrigation forces that salt to the surface. While in some places like Iowa, excess salt can be dispersed, in other places like most of Australia irrigated land starts an irreversible process of salt contamination, upon which no crops will grow.
I don't think you understand the size of the oceans. The salt that runs off our roads... you really don't get just how big these oceans are if you think we're making them saltier. One glacier breaks off in the Antarctic and probably undoes all salt we've ever added to the oceans by an exponent.
@@Salsuero Well, maybe he's asking about salt pollution. Civilizations have risen and fallen from salt pollution. And it's really really easy to do by mistake, and it's irreversible, and it's always caused by irrigation. You put a little bit of water on soil, and the salt rises to the surface via capillary action. Every ecologist knows this, which is why you find them constantly yelling at farmers not to irrigate this and that.
Places that heavily rely on irrigation flooding such as the Nile and the Mekong don't get salt pollution because the vast quantities of water wash away the salt on a regular basis, but dammed places such as Northern Mississippi do occasionally until they break their levies in which case they have bigger problems. Places like New Orleans which depend on levies to keep salt water ocean out get one chance...and then their flood contaminates utterly their fresh water.
@@langhamp8912 That's a fine theory...... but it's not at all what it sounds like he's talking about. So, if he is... perhaps he could've been clear like you.
In other words people are just accelerating something that has happened naturally over longer periods of time in the past.
Why do you use the word "just"? Though climate, as we know, has shifted up and down when there were no people slashing and burning our forests and dumping greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere, does NOT preclude our causing it now! The fact climate change happened before people is the favorite excuse of the fossil fuel industry for ignoring it now. Of course, we also qnow know that in the '70s at least Exxon's scientists addressed the question of climate change caused by their actions, concluded it WOULD, but rather than coming up with alternatives to mitigate it, decided the ice melt in the Arctic would work in their favor by extending their drilling period by two months! Greed wins!
Yep, just like someoene shooting you dead is just accelerating something that will happen naturally.
Look at a graph of co2 vs temperature, notice the spike around the beginning of industrialisation, if you can't draw a conclusion from that you're a moron.
Terrifying story, very clear. I don't think there is much time left before the world will totally collapse, nobody is gonna give up their Luxury, greed will be the end of mankind

Here in central Europ...Vienna/Austria every yaer the weather becomes worst, especially in spring. There is nearly no rain anymore in spring. I think soon the sahara will turn green.
Thank you. This was brilliant.
There is an idea which has always nagged at me ever since I first heard about how the layer of fresh, cold water from melting ice caps would submerge the Gulf Stream, since fresh water is lighter than salt water, resulting in a new Ice Age: How long would it take for the levels of water to intermix, once the ice is no longer melting? Wouldn't the Gulf Stream start up again, once this happens? Would this not happen long before the ice cap is replenished? Would this create a feedback loop of freezing and thawing cycles until there is no longer enough ice built up to continue the cycle?
Fresh water is heavier than salt water.
@@richardhines8622 Dont be stupid. The relative density of normal saltwater in the Atlantic for example is 1.023.
@Siebert McCormick there are brine pools at the bottom of the Atlantic and Pacific that are tens of thousands of years old. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brine_pool is about right.

1 thing often missed when talking about these things: the impact on biological diversity. Because the mass extinction on animal, fish, insect and plant spieces is just as seriousas global warming.
The main thing that is missed is how the bible says its all going to be.
the extinction of biological diversity is the real cause of the increased co2, 10x more carbon is released from soils than is released from fossil fuels and those soil's would be a carbon sink were they farmed correctly. plant's exist to create sugars to pump those sugars deep into the soils to support the soil life, this takes many species of plants and some with very deep roots. when we grow single crops over vast areas not enough sugar goes into the soil to sustain the life below and so the lies dies and the co2 that was in that biomass released.

Much of this was predicted in the popular 60's book, "The Cooling."
This channel spews pseudo science all the time..
Question 1:
What caused the last ice age?
Question 2:
What caused the last ice age to end around 12,000 years ago?
Question 3:
What causes the Earths magnetic field to flip?
I will wait for the pseudo science answer..
The true answer is, we have no idea...
@GazB
Ok, I admit, because I am honest, that I don't know, so please answer what caused the past epochs of climate change I questioned then?
There is a historic pattern of cyclical ice ages and inter-glacial warming periods..
What causes these?
My point being, if we can't answer what caused enomous past climate changes, then we by default, cannot say we understand any CURRENT climate change..
I can't help but notice, not ONE brave super smart person, has answered my simple climate change questions..
This is historic fact..
What caused these historic catastrophic climate changes?
I'm waiting.............
@GazB
Ok, around 12,000 years ago Canada, and large parts of North America, were covered under a mile thick sheet of glacial ice, what caused that glacial ice age to occur?
Again, around 12,000, that ice age ended abruptly and that glacial ice retreated, why?
@@CreepsCompilation It is theorised that each termination of a quaternary ice age such as the one you referenced having created the Laurentide ice sheet starts at or near the greatest area and volume of the sheet.
At their weight, they induced isostatic depression beneath themselves, sinking the continental crust beneath them. As crust sinks, more of the sheet will be below sea level. Sheets resting on the seabed are more vulnerable to warming.
When the Laurentide sheet started to melt it would of released vast quantities of freshwater into the North Atlantic; freshwater reducing the density of the surface layer. This lesser density stopped surface water from sinking and thus shutting down the AMOC which would of carried warmer water to the north.
If less heat is carried north the southern oceans become more warm, CO2 being less soluble in warm water means more CO2 released atmospherically. As long as the effect of CO2 and other external factors such as localised sunshine outweighs the regional cooling of a shut down AMOC the ice sheets will melt more and release more CO2.
Originally thst theory was not supported because of the rise in CO2 being thought to precede sea level rise, but that has since been disproven in cave and coral.
Other hypothesis include the oxidation of methane from storage in either wetlands or clathrate hydrate reservoirs.
Of course we still don't have a complete understanding as you would suggest, but this seems to be a step in the right direction.
There’s more thermal energy in the top 3 metres of the sea than in the atmosphere above it.
Yes of course it's 2.50 metres of water depth has the thermal capacity the atmosphere above it, but the atmosphere is also above land so the top 3.47 metres of ocean+sea+lakes depth has the thermal capacity of Earth's entire atmosphere. Land below 6 metres isn't involved with climate on the century time scales and that 6 metres of wet soil equals 3 metres of water depth but soil/rock land is only 25% of Earth's surface so the soil/rock land involved for Earth has the thermal capacity of the top 1.05 metres of ocean+sea+lakes depth. They aren't really quite accurate to 0.01 but more accurate than +/-0.1
@@grindupBaker thanks. A few years back the BBC weather report showed the sea depth with colour. Why didn't they show sea temperatures. Sea depth is meaningless whereas temperature isn't.
@@grindupBaker a few years back during a cold snap a lake in England froze over and three people walked on it. They walked towards the middle where the lake was deepest and therefore less frozen as the water underneath has more heat. The ice broke and two of them died.

For the Atlantic Ocean Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) I find the salinity section to be far clearer than the temperature section, you can really see that saltier tongue shoving south. It's a section at longtitude 25W from 53S to 63N (13,000 km long).
How do we have accurate data on sea temperatures from the 1800's?
Probably ships from the large empires from that time. The East India Company did some measurements (according to “Climate Change is an Absolute Nightmare - Here’s Why”). I wouldn’t be too surprised if they or some other maritime power was measuring sea surface temperatures.
