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.
@@seraphina985not to mention, if we WERE to somehow figure out how to gather that much salt, that in itself would have environmental impacts. Our world is a delicate thing!

Ohhh, I'm sure it'll be fine, maybe we can look into it in a few years. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got some forests to clear for that new coal fired power plant, progress waits for no man and all that.
Don't worry, it was fine even in the worst of the Ice Age, when it was some 5º colder but there were bisons and woolly rhinoceros so pretty much like Sweden or Poland today, I guess. We have more to fear from uncontrolled warming than from cooling.
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.
And the carcinogenicity of meat, dairy and eggs. If people don't care about themselves, imagine caring about something as "abstract" as the planet SMH Go plant-based for your health and the planet!
Thing is, I would wager that we don't ALL know. Not even close. The amount of ignorance of a lot (most?) people is actually astounding. The US is the best example, but it's a global trend. People, somehow, know much less than they should about a whole array of topics.
@@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.
I visited a city i north of Norway (Tromsö). By driving a way from the city ca 30min the temp was -20. and when entering the city it was only -2. The water current was worming up the air. So amazing.
@@pa28cfi I don't know. However. When the convection stream stops. Oxygen and salt will not be replenished. All life in our oceans will die. Also our planet is warming up. So I doubt the north pole will freeze up. At the other hand. There are theories that say global warming can cause a new ice age, so you might be right..........
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 😅
I prefer real science movies like The Core and 2012, thanks. The overexaggerated and dramatized crap in The Day After Tomorrow just muddies up the waters like a Fox News report.
I just watched 3 other videos but i didn’t understand much, because I wasn’t able to focus with my adhd. This video was great tho, it was funny, conveyed the information really well and made it possible for me to focus finally :D I gotta study for my Abitur in geography and this was pretty helpful
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”
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.
Thank you so much for a great show. On your show on ocean currents you mentioned how the gulf stream warms Western Europe. I think this warming influence goes all the way to Moscow in Eastern Europe. The things you said about London are also true of Moscow.
When seeing stuff like this it defies belief that people simply dismiss global warming as some hoax without giving any consideration to one of the many catalysts such as explained in this video.
This was a really cool explanation of how temperature and solute gradients can have large scale effects. I was just wondering if we can negate the effect of excess freshwater dumping into this current system by dumping salt to compensate for the melting of ice caps.
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.
@@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...
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.
I really like this video. So I agree with everything mentioned in this video. Will the effect of colder winters in Europe a permanent thing or will it be cancelled out by trapped carbon? I am looking at this climate modeler and it forecasts warmer winters by 4 degrees Celsius for Europe.
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.
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.

I live in northern Spain, in the same latitude as Vladivostok. AMOC please don't go!
Don't worry, it was fine even in the worst of the Ice Age, when it was some 5º colder but there were bisons and woolly rhinoceros so pretty much like Sweden or Poland today, I guess. We have more to fear from uncontrolled warming than from cooling.
1:57 is the single best editor cut I’ve seen in my over 13 years of video streaming
And 3:12 is the best quote I’ve heard in my entire life
Reminder that 70 percent of all emmisions are produced by the top 100 companies
Here i was just trying to learn about ocean currents for my class but ended up learning so much more.
You should do a collab with Matpat, you both make learning fun and explains it more enjoyable
Alright, I just have to give a shout out for the use of Doom fire effects. That is just so well applied to the context xD Bravo!
This is the best incentive for stopping climate change I’ve ever seen
No matter how much YOU are convinced there are a lot of people who would just look at this, say "meh", and continue on...
I .like . I am 53
And I enjoyed The class . Great way tu explains. Thanks Joe and PBS.
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.
And the carcinogenicity of meat, dairy and eggs. If people don't care about themselves, imagine caring about something as "abstract" as the planet SMH Go plant-based for your health and the planet!
And meat. Not just ‘junk food’.
Thing is, I would wager that we don't ALL know. Not even close. The amount of ignorance of a lot (most?) people is actually astounding. The US is the best example, but it's a global trend. People, somehow, know much less than they should about a whole array of topics.
@@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.
@@Dragrath1Very well put. Scary, yet fascinating.
I visited a city i north of Norway (Tromsö). By driving a way from the city ca 30min the temp was -20. and when entering the city it was only -2. The water current was worming up the air. So amazing.
We are aware of this since the 90's. If this process stop, we have problem!
Looking at the bad Covid response in many countries we are absolutely doomed in regards of climate change
@@whiteraven550 I agree... Nature always finds a way.
@@pa28cfi The correction takes a long time, and there are still the other climate factors to account for.
@@pa28cfi I don't know. However. When the convection stream stops. Oxygen and salt will not be replenished. All life in our oceans will die. Also our planet is warming up. So I doubt the north pole will freeze up. At the other hand. There are theories that say global warming can cause a new ice age, so you might be right..........
@@pa28cfi Good question.....
This 'Low Probability, High Impact' event is now turning into a 'High Probability, High Impact" event. Thanks, Politicians & oil CEOs.
I had to check to see how old this video is😂 2 years after this video was made (2023) scientists say the Amoc could collapse as soon 2025 😢
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 😅
The moment you realize that the movie "The Day After Tomorrow" is actually a documentary of the future.
You are being fooled 😛😛😛 by movies
A futurmentary?
A Documenture?
A giant chuck of one of the Larsen ice shelves broke off a few years ago 😂
I prefer real science movies like The Core and 2012, thanks. The overexaggerated and dramatized crap in The Day After Tomorrow just muddies up the waters like a Fox News report.
Currently watching this as an extra credit assignment for my meteorology course my 3rd semester in college
Those were some pretty incredible graphics... never seen such clear explanation of ocean currents before!
I just watched 3 other videos but i didn’t understand much, because I wasn’t able to focus with my adhd. This video was great tho, it was funny, conveyed the information really well and made it possible for me to focus finally :D I gotta study for my Abitur in geography and this was pretty helpful
I come from the future to say that now the AMOC has a 95% of stopping between 2025 and 2095. Wooooooo……
🤡🌐
This is perfect for my upcoming class unit on climate factors!

Thank you so much for this video 🙏🏽 I always wondered this, this was so informative!
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”
2 years later and they say the current will stop by 2025 😢
2025-2095. But yeah this is gonna be crazy.
i was about to sleep but then i got this hmmp inch a resting 🤨☝🏻

Yet my mom and brothers cannot be conviced that climate change is real or that climate and weather are different things. 😣
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 was a great video
#protecttheoceans
Think of the fish
Yep. Save the fishes. Don't eat fish. Watch Seaspiracy on Netflix.
Thank you so much for a great show. On your show on ocean currents you mentioned how the gulf stream warms Western Europe. I think this warming influence goes all the way to Moscow in Eastern Europe. The things you said about London are also true of Moscow.
wow am i early, and WHY U GOTTA POST WHEN IM BOUTTA GO TO BED WTH
I know that this is a joke but why did you click In the first place🤣
When seeing stuff like this it defies belief that people simply dismiss global warming as some hoax without giving any consideration to one of the many catalysts such as explained in this video.
The fact that this is not a national emergency is scandalous
A scandalous lack of scandal.
Fun video to watch even though I still don’t know how currents work
This was a really cool explanation of how temperature and solute gradients can have large scale effects. I was just wondering if we can negate the effect of excess freshwater dumping into this current system by dumping salt to compensate for the melting of ice caps.
Dig a canal from the Dead Sea down to the Red Sea?
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.
“probably not gonna happen soon” haha….. hahahha… oh it hurts watching this now lol
6:02 I never realized that the current is probably cutting into the ocean floor. That's a pretty cool visual!
Is it amazing that I knew how they worked before watching this video?
Me in Europe watching this vid 2 months later while parts of Europe are seeing the worst floods in memory. Scary 😥
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.
@@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...
Greenland does not get enough credit for how weirdly important it is in global rhythms.
"Take that air!" got me 😂😂😂
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.
There's simply not enough media representation of climate change specially in live TV
If we act, the US dollar will collapse, because it's almost only sustained by Saudi oil since Nixon.
It is amazing to see how much life can thrive with just a few things, it’s such a shame humans have to ruin it
12:19 Yeah, but how do we get those in control of governments to actually do something about it?
Sadly the possibility of a peaceful resolution seems to grow weaker year by year....
Great info ....Thanks 👍
I really like this video.
So I agree with everything mentioned in this video. Will the effect of colder winters in Europe a permanent thing or will it be cancelled out by trapped carbon? I am looking at this climate modeler and it forecasts warmer winters by 4 degrees Celsius for Europe.
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.
I hope there will be a movie based on this discussion
Terrifying. Don't break!
Thaaaaaannnnnkkkkkyoooouuuu for making it so understandable
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.
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.
I'm actually sitting in that same IKEA chair watching this video 😀
