Thank you so much for making such information so easy to access. In the times like these, it is important now more than ever to share the knowledge and science to everyone, so that they understand the gravity of the situation. Thank you!
PHEW we both need to have a lie down after that John haha its very inter woven and complicated ,thank you for a video that i would need to watch two or three times over to get to grips with it all,Thank you paul
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.
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
@@JustHaveaThink - I agree that going beyond what you did would begin to get confusing for some. You covered the process sufficiently so just about anyone would get the idea of how it works globally and can grasp what is happening in the other half of the world. Nice job.
@@JustHaveaThink you covered that off with the statement " this week I am going to apply my considerable ignorance and incompetence to the task of understanding The Thermohaline Circulation" and I think you achieved that wonderfully well. I for one, have been elevated to your level of ignorance and incompetence from much lower down in the competence and knowledge state. (thank you!!!). I note that there are a few commentators still showing even more ignorance and incompetence than even I manage to muster...you have a lot of work in front of you. Keep up the great work.
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
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.

Thanks Bill. I agree with you, and I will always try to be as thorough in this respect as I possibly can be. Thanks for your support. All the best. Dave
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,
I'm a climate researcher in grad school whose research mainly focuses on the arctic and mid-latitudinal linkages, (especially through the stratospheric pathway), and I gotta say that I love your videos. Keep up the good work! Also, AMA if anybody is interested :]
@@theonionpirate1076 Oh yeah I've seen it. This is explained by the anomalously very high temps in the arctic recently. These temps should let go a little in about a week or so, but it's still looking quite warm even after that. I do think the decline in areal extent has started, however I do also think that there is a chance it could plateau in a week or so, before steadily declining about a week after that. It's not gonna go up however.
@grindupBaker I am in the midst of doing something like that right now! I'm mostly focusing on the stratosphere/troposphere coupling but tropospheric warming events in the arctic are really important as well, and I will probably try to bring that into the mix of my analysis soon.
Thanks Henrik. I'm very flattered that 'proper' climate researchers are also enjoying the videos as well as us lay people. I appreciate your support very much. Good luck with your research program. All the best. Dave
@@JustHaveaThink Thank you and of course! I love the quality of your videos and the amount of detail that goes into them which gets the point across without mixing in a bunch of jargon that would lose your average joe. Very informative, and as far as I've seen so, far very accurate too!
If I am not mistaken thermohaline circulation is the process of the "great ocean conveyor belt", how it works, and the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is the section in the north Atlantic that does the downwelling that feuls the "great ocean conveyor belt".
Albeit the seriousness of the scientific facts, I'm thoroughly enjoyed the unintentional innuendos on the explanation. Plus with the great graphical presentation glued my attentions spend yet understand what the information are trying to conveyed. 😆👌
Hi Scott. Thanks for your support. Much appreciated. Interesting to hear you got here from Black Bear News. I've watched a couple of his videos before. I'm very flattered he's mentioned me. All the best.
In the 1930s, when scientists were explaining why the warming effects that carbon dioxide emissions would override the expected cooling predicted by Milankovitch, one prescient statement was made: “When the currents through the oceans change” your land will become evermore tropical.
Your videos are great, but I wish you'd use better sources. Not newspaper articles and master theses, but articles from peer-reviewed scientific journals. Those newspaper articles are basically summaries of summaries.
There was discussion on building a sea level canal in Nicaragua. The Gulf Stream could then flow through the canal instead of going out through the Florida strait to the North Atlantic.
Thank you for your wonderful and informative channel. It's always excellent and the production values are splendid. I have a topic that I'm requesting that you cover. That topic is how climate change is effecting phytoplankton populations globally and how phytoplankton health effects the entire ecosystem.
+Phil Moore I'd like to second that. In particular the likely affects on oxygen levels in our atmosphere since reduced phytoplankton population should reduce oxygen production but increased ocean temperature increases the release of dissolved oxygen from the ocean into the troposphere. Which affect wins out in the short/long term ?
Hi Phil. That's a very good subject. I touched on it a little bit in a very early video I did mid way through last year on Ocean Acidification. Here's a link to that one th-cam.com/video/UFUEzs1RDuw/w-d-xo.html it's definitely something I can return to though. Thanks again for your support. Always very much appreciated.
Hi Dogphlap. Here's a link that I sent to Phil of an early video I did on Ocean Acidification. th-cam.com/video/UFUEzs1RDuw/w-d-xo.html I will certainly return to the subject this year. All the best. Dave
Will shutting down this mechanism that brings huge amounts of heat from the equator to the poles cause the poles to be colder and thereby maybe increase ice and cause more albedo?
Living here in Alaska. This has been a shockingly warm and dry March. Looking at the arctic sea ice extent chart it has a very sharp downturn. And if this weather keeps going like this, we might be in record ice teriotorty in very short time.
@@richdiana3663 Very true, with such warm temps and so little snow cover in so many areas, the ground will warm much quicker and for a longer time this summer.
Kevin J I noticed that sharp downturn as well- it looks like it’s attained a certain steepness and begun its descent roughly a month earlier than it usually does, doesn’t it?
@@theonionpirate1076 At best maybe 4 days currently. There is a chance that steepness could maintain, and it could be record shattering, but it's still too early to tell, it is still getting dark at night yet. Still have over a month yet till the sun stops setting for the summer. And this is way early in the season to declare winter over up here. But if this trend continues. It will be very interesting.
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.
It is entirely possible to build a mechanical climate machine that will halve the rate of global warming. But unfortunately, “climate activists” are more concerned with making money than solving the climate crisis.
Thank you Mr, JHAT! Nice work! Our level of knowledge about climate systems and the amount of data at our fingertips is amazing! The growing group of “educators” is deeply impressive in their understanding of the factors and educational craft. We live in the best of times, in this regard.
Wow! Thank you. I wish this sort of knowledge would be explained on something like the national news. It might give the public some idea of the scale and force that we are anthropomorphically meddling with. Subscribed and liked. Many thanks. Do you have something coming up that might explain/theorise as to why we are witnessing the severe weather this 2021 June to August in so many countries and countinents?
You could just Google it "The study looked at sediment historically carried along by the AMOC -- the larger the grains, the stronger the current. It also reconstructed near-surface ocean temperatures at points along the AMOC's journey to gauge how affected these were by current strength." edition.cnn.com/2018/04/12/world/gulf-stream-global-ocean-conveyor-belt-study-intl/index.html
I can't seem to get my head around how the oceans can warm up by even a tiny amount, when many lakes around the world are the same temprature as they have always been, shouldn't they be very hot by now if warming is so pronounced!?
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.
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!
Just started watching your channel this week. Good to have a place where the issues/process are presented and discussed. You talked a lot about ocean currents in the Atlantic (also eventually global) but have you or will talk about the Pacific. Seems to me (68 yrs old and living near Chicago) that there has been a change in the normal west to east flow of the jet stream to more of north to south over the Midwest in the last decade. Any thoughts. Thanks.
The Thermo-Haline Machine 🎰 the Hard Winters of the Fifth Century drove the Goths and the Huns on long migrations. At the same time, less food was produced in the south.
Good video, and mostly very clear. But it was a little confusing when you went from talking about the collapse of the Gulf Stream to collapse of the AMOC, after saying that the Gulf Stream and AMOC are different... So whether the periodic cycle of AMOC relates to the weakening of the Gulf Stream is unclear.
Hi Gezza. Haven't spoken to him for a while but I know he's chasing some DACCS initiatives in a couple of parts of the world. He's promised to bring a progress update later in the year so I'm hoping to go up and interview him again in Cambridge at some point. All the best. Dave
1 m/sec = 3,6 km/h - that is walking speed (if you walk medium to fast pace) that is the speed of some deep water current, and the Labrador current sinks with 10 cm/sec = 36 km/h (driving speed within the city if you are not overdoing it - it tends to be 40 - 50 km/h)
Hehe. I'm doing my best eddsson :-) We're growing consistently each week though. I will keep banging the drum and the more people get the message and pass it on, the better chance we have of achieving some sort of collective action. Thanks for your support. Very much appreciated. All the best. Dave
@@JustHaveaThink I know it's quite minor in comparision to what you manage on your own but I've been sharing the hell out of your stuff. Love it and I wish you all the best!
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.
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.
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. As you say, there is no way we can rely on our oceans to keep on mopping up after us - they've been quietly dong that for about 150 years and it looks like they've had enough!
Just Have a Think Terrible flooding in the US Midwest flooding grain silos and flooding out chemical plants, looks like many farmers will miss the planting season as the floods and clean up continue. Looking forward to your next video regarding BOE Watched something the other day regarding Greenland ice mass and the gravitational effect that has on the surrounding oceans and as Greenland losses mass and gravitational pull how that will change sea lvls around the world while also adding to sea lvl through ice loss. Obviously it's the same with Antarctica the changing Gravitational pull of these melting ice masses is not something I had thought about in regards to sea lvl. When you put all the pieces of the puzzle together regarding the collapsing climate systems and collapsing biosphere it looks more and more grim. Extinction rebellion starts Ernest April 15.....wonder what media coverage they will get 🌎👍🏻 Have a good week👍🏻🌎
Yeah I saw some reports about that as well - I think there are efforts to recalibrate the calculations on the severity of sea level rise based on what they're calling 'bounceback'. It's just one thing after another!
Well explained,m but i think researchers are missing a few factors, sunspots help control the wind, the wind and gyres both work in harmongy that controll the conveyer belts, the gyre is the engine, the conveyer is the effect, the gyre is the cause the conveyer is the effect, they all work in harmony, its a chain reaction, the wind gyre conveyer and sun spots, with too high Co2 levesl and methane this cause solar maginifcation and thus hotter air, the microwaves and radio, tv, mobile phone, ionsphere commujication ect, all cause attenuation in water molecules and increase molecular rotation in atoms, added the the fact of electron precipitation weakening the Ozone, taurus and sherman frequency spikes, we have more heat, this heats the top 10 meters, that cause variance in the conveyer cycle, this also causes the fighting plankton to not cycle the same as the top 10 meters is too hot, so there numbers redice along with the fish that feed on them, im adding this to your thwaits glacier video and with what i know, but basically, we need to reduce all microwaves radio use by at least 60% of it will not matter if you compleatly stop all Co2
I am still pondering more basic science than that.. like carbon dioxide is heavier than air, so how does it stay in the upper atmosphere, where it is reported to cause huge global warming at very low concentrations.
Yeah, youre clearly still in the basics of AGW denial as your typical rookie denialist "arguments" show. They have been addressed years, even decades ago. skepticalscience.com/human-co2-smaller-than-natural-emissions.htm And sorry for your loss, as your friends probably were killed by all the CO2 that has hovered only inches above the surface, being heavier than other gases.
THE BLUE OCEAN EVENT HAS ALREADY BEGUN given the record temperature anomalies already present in the Arctic in March and April 2019 and as described in the first video at mead2020 (0rg)
Incorrect. A BOE has a measurable effects and predictable consequences. I wouldn't worry about it. You have months, not years or decades. Enjoy what's left of your life.
An Ice free Arctic in 2019 or 2020 guarantees and abrupt guarantees and abrupt spiking temperatures, more record heat waves, wildfires, droughts and super storms, crop losses already down 20% to 30% worldwide, projected to be worse in 2019 and horrific thereafter, then global famine, riots, collapse and extinction of all life on Earth including humans when skilled labor stops maintaining 1600 nuclear facilities and toxic plants all around the world already leaking, killing have attached, our rivers and oceans. Meanwhile, Plankton biomass is down 50%. Our primary oxygen machine is broken and our backup oxygen machine, the Amazon, is being mowed flat by Brazil's Bolsonaro. You have months, not years let alone decades. Buy wine now while it's still less than $500 a bottle.
And whatever happens in the Pacific Ocean, finding it's way through the Bering Strait, impacts the deeper waters of the Canadian Arctic and Atlantic Oceans.* Also, tritium** with it's higher melting point+ and once formed as ice should probably now be considered too. (Question: Does anyone ever check ice for beta emissions from tritium? 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" th-cam.com/video/Ga3CnJcY3Ro/w-d-xo.html) * 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
the sun is putting us in a mini ice age and soon the gulf stream will shut down and i well leaving temp of -30 all the time in the uk , Just look up sunspots
Blue arctic event must be prevented ASAP by arctic targeted SRM Geoengineering. SRM research needs to find a viable way ASAP. Space SRM Geoengineering is safer but costs so much more. Moon base mining and production development can bring space SRM costs down, but at current pace it will be too late. So massively accelerated space development seems wise. Current spending priorities are terrible.
He should go to Newfoundland and watch the icebergs traveling south in the ocean currents and do a drift dive of of Cozumel! Then would see how the ocean currents flow!
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.
Bless you Jean-Denis. Very kind words. I will keep offering my messages each week and I will keep promoting all the other climate activist groups as well. Between us we will hopefully start to reach large numbers of people very soon. Thanks for your support. Dave
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
wow good one, we really are just finding out ton's of cool stuff. i wish more people cared, or i guess more people that weren't distracted by other priorities. Pretty exciting actually when you consider what is going to happen when the Arctic Ocean (beaufort) (chuchki) heats up ,potentially this year. the Earth is BURNING ./.. nothing else matters good luck and get ready
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...

Have you noticed the early sharp downturn in arctic sea ice? Do you think it’s beginning its decline already?
@@theonionpirate1076 Oh yeah I've seen it. This is explained by the anomalously very high temps in the arctic recently. These temps should let go a little in about a week or so, but it's still looking quite warm even after that. I do think the decline in areal extent has started, however I do also think that there is a chance it could plateau in a week or so, before steadily declining about a week after that. It's not gonna go up however.
@grindupBaker I am in the midst of doing something like that right now! I'm mostly focusing on the stratosphere/troposphere coupling but tropospheric warming events in the arctic are really important as well, and I will probably try to bring that into the mix of my analysis soon.
Thanks Henrik. I'm very flattered that 'proper' climate researchers are also enjoying the videos as well as us lay people. I appreciate your support very much. Good luck with your research program. All the best. Dave
@@JustHaveaThink Thank you and of course! I love the quality of your videos and the amount of detail that goes into them which gets the point across without mixing in a bunch of jargon that would lose your average joe. Very informative, and as far as I've seen so, far very accurate too!
If I am not mistaken thermohaline circulation is the process of the "great ocean conveyor belt", how it works, and the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is the section in the north Atlantic that does the downwelling that feuls the "great ocean conveyor belt".
Albeit the seriousness of the scientific facts, I'm thoroughly enjoyed the unintentional innuendos on the explanation. Plus with the great graphical presentation glued my attentions spend yet understand what the information are trying to conveyed. 😆👌
Great work! Clear and concise, hitting all the major points, keep up the good work!!
Thank you :-) Much appreciated.
All caught up finally!!! Got your link from Black Bear News.....Thanks for all your hard work!
Hi Scott. Thanks for your support. Much appreciated. Interesting to hear you got here from Black Bear News. I've watched a couple of his videos before. I'm very flattered he's mentioned me. All the best.
Thank you for the video, really clear and easy to understand!, very illustrative!
Very good program thank you.
Thanks, Dave. Clear & concise.
In the 1930s, when scientists were explaining why the warming effects that carbon dioxide emissions would override the expected cooling predicted by Milankovitch, one prescient statement was made:
“When the currents through the oceans change” your land will become evermore tropical.
Sam Lair he’s been debunked
Your videos are great, but I wish you'd use better sources. Not newspaper articles and master theses, but articles from peer-reviewed scientific journals. Those newspaper articles are basically summaries of summaries.
He did question the newspaper articles and didn't use them as source.
There was discussion on building a sea level canal in Nicaragua. The Gulf Stream could then flow through the canal instead of going out through the Florida strait to the North Atlantic.
This is all well and good of course and I'm only here to ask if there is or will there be an Humboldt Current for Dummies?
What do you think of underwater volcanic activity and its correlation with the belt.
Great video yet again..
superb explanation, helped me a lot! Thank you so much! Keep up the good work! :)
Thank you for your wonderful and informative channel. It's always excellent and the production values are splendid. I have a topic that I'm requesting that you cover. That topic is how climate change is effecting phytoplankton populations globally and how phytoplankton health effects the entire ecosystem.
+Phil Moore I'd like to second that. In particular the likely affects on oxygen levels in our atmosphere since reduced phytoplankton population should reduce oxygen production but increased ocean temperature increases the release of dissolved oxygen from the ocean into the troposphere. Which affect wins out in the short/long term ?
Hi Phil. That's a very good subject. I touched on it a little bit in a very early video I did mid way through last year on Ocean Acidification. Here's a link to that one
th-cam.com/video/UFUEzs1RDuw/w-d-xo.html
it's definitely something I can return to though.
Thanks again for your support. Always very much appreciated.
Hi Dogphlap. Here's a link that I sent to Phil of an early video I did on Ocean Acidification.

I will certainly return to the subject this year. All the best. Dave
Enjoyed the video good information
Excellent work
August 21 the conveyer is slowing and fragmented ,.that will mean colder northern hemisphere
Will shutting down this mechanism that brings huge amounts of heat from the equator to the poles cause the poles to be colder and thereby maybe increase ice and cause more albedo?
Living here in Alaska. This has been a shockingly warm and dry March. Looking at the arctic sea ice extent chart it has a very sharp downturn. And if this weather keeps going like this, we might be in record ice teriotorty in very short time.
It's the melting permafrost and concomitant release of methane that I'm concerned with.
@@richdiana3663 Very true, with such warm temps and so little snow cover in so many areas, the ground will warm much quicker and for a longer time this summer.
Kevin J I noticed that sharp downturn as well- it looks like it’s attained a certain steepness and begun its descent roughly a month earlier than it usually does, doesn’t it?
@@theonionpirate1076 At best maybe 4 days currently. There is a chance that steepness could maintain, and it could be record shattering, but it's still too early to tell, it is still getting dark at night yet. Still have over a month yet till the sun stops setting for the summer. And this is way early in the season to declare winter over up here. But if this trend continues. It will be very interesting.
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.
It is entirely possible to build a mechanical climate machine that will halve the rate of global warming. But unfortunately, “climate activists” are more concerned with making money than solving the climate crisis.
Thanks
Great work 😎👍
ty for being knowledgable about this . other such as beckwith dont really take the time to explain much. i dont know how hes even a teacher.
Thank you Mr, JHAT! Nice work!
Our level of knowledge about climate systems and the amount of data at our fingertips is amazing! The growing group of “educators” is deeply impressive in their understanding of the factors and educational craft. We live in the best of times, in this regard.
The 6th Mass Extinction is not a good time to be alive.
Thank you
LMAO your earlier videos had top class humor i see!
Does anyone feel his voice is soothing and would be awesome for kids books
Just a thought these could form the basis of a fuel free though slow transport system.
Wow! Thank you. I wish this sort of knowledge would be explained on something like the national news. It might give the public some idea of the scale and force that we are anthropomorphically meddling with. Subscribed and liked. Many thanks. Do you have something coming up that might explain/theorise as to why we are witnessing the severe weather this 2021 June to August in so many countries and countinents?
What sort of measuring equipment did we have in 400AD......
Hmmm. Interesting. I think probably they rely on modern retrospective instrumentation :-)
You could just Google it
"The study looked at sediment historically carried along by the AMOC -- the larger the grains, the stronger the current. It also reconstructed near-surface ocean temperatures at points along the AMOC's journey to gauge how affected these were by current strength."
edition.cnn.com/2018/04/12/world/gulf-stream-global-ocean-conveyor-belt-study-intl/index.html
Tree rings.
@@corchem What ?? I gave the link to the research. How does the AMOC influence tree rings reliably ?
I can't seem to get my head around how the oceans can warm up by even a tiny amount, when many lakes around the world are the same temprature as they have always been, shouldn't they be very hot by now if warming is so pronounced!?
So what about heat from volcanoes?
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.
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!

Just started watching your channel this week. Good to have a place where the issues/process are presented and discussed. You talked a lot about ocean currents in the Atlantic (also eventually global) but have you or will talk about the Pacific. Seems to me (68 yrs old and living near Chicago) that there has been a change in the normal west to east flow of the jet stream to more of north to south over the Midwest in the last decade. Any thoughts. Thanks.
Think I’m off for a lay down too.👍
The Thermo-Haline Machine 🎰 the Hard Winters of the Fifth Century drove the Goths and the Huns on long migrations. At the same time, less food was produced in the south.
Thanks
Good video, and mostly very clear. But it was a little confusing when you went from talking about the collapse of the Gulf Stream to collapse of the AMOC, after saying that the Gulf Stream and AMOC are different... So whether the periodic cycle of AMOC relates to the weakening of the Gulf Stream is unclear.
Bravo!!!!
Hi, I was wondering how Prof Peter Wadhams was going? cheers
Hi Gezza. Haven't spoken to him for a while but I know he's chasing some DACCS initiatives in a couple of parts of the world. He's promised to bring a progress update later in the year so I'm hoping to go up and interview him again in Cambridge at some point. All the best. Dave
@@JustHaveaThink Thanks Dave. Good to hear Peter is in good health then...cheers
This the chap who predicted an ice-free arctic by 2016 ?
1 m/sec = 3,6 km/h - that is walking speed (if you walk medium to fast pace) that is the speed of some deep water current, and the Labrador current sinks with 10 cm/sec = 36 km/h (driving speed within the city if you are not overdoing it - it tends to be 40 - 50 km/h)
Xyz Same think you’ve got your math wrong, 1 m/s should be faster than only 10 cm/s.
10k subs?! HOW can you not have more? :o
Hehe. I'm doing my best eddsson :-) We're growing consistently each week though. I will keep banging the drum and the more people get the message and pass it on, the better chance we have of achieving some sort of collective action.

@@JustHaveaThink 11K!
Has anyone got a idea about the status of AMOC and I mean a recent real measurement.
Hi Robert. I suspect Paul Beckwith may be your man for that information.
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.
Interesting!
I always thought the Thermohalene circulation cycle took 1000 years. Can someone explain why 500 years is mentioned in this video?
I have a strong feeling it has declined a great deal.
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.
I hope it changes, wonder how the world would look like
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. As you say, there is no way we can rely on our oceans to keep on mopping up after us - they've been quietly dong that for about 150 years and it looks like they've had enough!
Just Have a Think Terrible flooding in the US Midwest flooding grain silos and flooding out chemical plants, looks like many farmers will miss the planting season as the floods and clean up continue.
Looking forward to your next video regarding BOE
Watched something the other day regarding Greenland ice mass and the gravitational effect that has on the surrounding oceans and as Greenland losses mass and gravitational pull how that will change sea lvls around the world while also adding to sea lvl through ice loss. Obviously it's the same with Antarctica the changing Gravitational pull of these melting ice masses is not something I had thought about in regards to sea lvl. When you put all the pieces of the puzzle together regarding the collapsing climate systems and collapsing biosphere it looks more and more grim.
Extinction rebellion starts Ernest April 15.....wonder what media coverage they will get 🌎👍🏻
Have a good week👍🏻🌎
Yeah I saw some reports about that as well - I think there are efforts to recalibrate the calculations on the severity of sea level rise based on what they're calling 'bounceback'. It's just one thing after another!
Well explained,m but i think researchers are missing a few factors, sunspots help control the wind, the wind and gyres both work in harmongy that controll the conveyer belts, the gyre is the engine, the conveyer is the effect, the gyre is the cause the conveyer is the effect, they all work in harmony, its a chain reaction, the wind gyre conveyer and sun spots, with too high Co2 levesl and methane this cause solar maginifcation and thus hotter air, the microwaves and radio, tv, mobile phone, ionsphere commujication ect, all cause attenuation in water molecules and increase molecular rotation in atoms, added the the fact of electron precipitation weakening the Ozone, taurus and sherman frequency spikes, we have more heat, this heats the top 10 meters, that cause variance in the conveyer cycle, this also causes the fighting plankton to not cycle the same as the top 10 meters is too hot, so there numbers redice along with the fish that feed on them, im adding this to your thwaits glacier video and with what i know, but basically, we need to reduce all microwaves radio use by at least 60% of it will not matter if you compleatly stop all Co2
70 % of our planet is ocean. 70% of your own body is water.....mind blown :)
@grindupBaker If you want to be an ocean, you are an ocean :)
He should go to Newfoundland and watch the ocean currents move the icebergs down the cost! Or do a drift dive off of Cozumel!
Don't forget the influence of the Coriolis effect.
@grindupBaker You see??? That's what I'm talking about people!!!
I am still pondering more basic science than that.. like carbon dioxide is heavier than air, so how does it stay in the upper atmosphere, where it is reported to cause huge global warming at very low concentrations.
Yeah, youre clearly still in the basics of AGW denial as your typical rookie denialist "arguments" show. They have been addressed years, even decades ago. skepticalscience.com/human-co2-smaller-than-natural-emissions.htm And sorry for your loss, as your friends probably were killed by all the CO2 that has hovered only inches above the surface, being heavier than other gases.
Does it flow down to Anarctica cos thats the bottom of the world?
@grindupBaker Yeah white people don't shine up too good in hot climates.
THE BLUE OCEAN EVENT HAS ALREADY BEGUN given the record temperature anomalies already present in the Arctic in March and April 2019 and as described in the first video at mead2020 (0rg)
Incorrect. A BOE has a measurable effects and predictable consequences. I wouldn't worry about it. You have months, not years or decades. Enjoy what's left of your life.
An Ice free Arctic in 2019 or 2020 guarantees and abrupt guarantees and abrupt spiking temperatures, more record heat waves, wildfires, droughts and super storms, crop losses already down 20% to 30% worldwide, projected to be worse in 2019 and horrific thereafter, then global famine, riots, collapse and extinction of all life on Earth including humans when skilled labor stops maintaining 1600 nuclear facilities and toxic plants all around the world already leaking, killing have attached, our rivers and oceans. Meanwhile, Plankton biomass is down 50%. Our primary oxygen machine is broken and our backup oxygen machine, the Amazon, is being mowed flat by Brazil's Bolsonaro. You have months, not years let alone decades. Buy wine now while it's still less than $500 a bottle.
And whatever happens in the Pacific Ocean, finding it's way through the Bering Strait, impacts the deeper waters of the Canadian Arctic and Atlantic Oceans.*
Also, tritium** with it's higher melting point+ and once formed as ice should probably now be considered too. (Question: Does anyone ever check ice for beta emissions from tritium? 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"

Blue arctic event must be prevented ASAP by arctic targeted SRM Geoengineering. SRM research needs to find a viable way ASAP. Space SRM Geoengineering is safer but costs so much more. Moon base mining and production development can bring space SRM costs down, but at current pace it will be too late. So massively accelerated space development seems wise. Current spending priorities are terrible.

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.
You should have 8,000,000 subscribers, a sign that we won’t make it as a species. Keep up the work.

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

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