Could Climate Change cause an Ocean Tipping Point... Soon..?

keep up the good work

I dont know about everyone else, but I feel like the consequences to this happening are so severe that we should just assume the worst case scenario and START PANICKING. Panicking in the calmest way possible and actually start doing things faster lol

While you`re at it, READ the IPCC report which I know you never have. You might actual learn something which is not the same crap you`re spinning

Strang just because someone has a PHD they think they have real knowledge it is a pity that a lot of people with PHD's end up doing ordinary jobs and that life is not as black and white as they have been taught just like the weather things change like it or not regards GRaham Flowers MEng

Please stop. Credible estimates are that over 4 billion could die as a result of Net Zero policies. The point is you don't know because you haven't thought to check. Or you won't say. This needs to be a conversation between honest adults.

I just want to know, are we going to be ok in the next few decades? Am I going to have to fight for my food? Am I going to be stuck in my house due to weather? Will I have to watch my friends and family die?I do live in California and I have to take an Antidepressant because of Climate Doom and what I’ve read in the past and just am scared.

sea level rise .. 1 inch of water over 1 acre equals 113.31 tons .. The Pacific Ocean's surface area is 40.3 Billion acres! This weight is pressing down on 4-6 mile thick oceanic plates causing the mantel to push into the magma creating pressure that can oly be released by volcanic activity also this creates more seismic activity ... there are 17 or so fracture zones around the world that could become super volcanoes.... also I found some info in the Christian Bible??? 12 words of a prophecy " And the time came for God ( The Intelligent Designer) to destroy those destroying the earth" ??? KJRevised Version Rev 11:18 Part B... Thank you..

Absolute total bs.
Every "actual" scientist (not the fake academics paid by governments) knows that the global warming scare is the biggest scientific fraud in the 2500 year history of science.
Wake up people and instead of believing the trashy science put out by the main stream media start doing some actual research of real scientists and geologists with actual proven facts and data.

So glad I stumbled upon your channel, Adam! I'm aspiring to be science writer/journalist, and I'm learning a lot from your content. Keep 'em coming!!

So glad the apocalypse is happening right after i got my wisdom teeth out, i wouldn't wanna have to take them out DIY

"One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy. This has almost nothing to do with the environmental policy . . . . We redistribute de facto the world's wealth by climate policy
Ottmar Edenhofer, who co-chair of the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change working group on Mitigation of Climate Change from 2008 to 2015.

"It wasn’t originally a climate thing at all ... we really think of it as a how-do-you-change-the-entire-economy thing."
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Chief of Staff Saikat Chakrabarti on the "Green New Deal”

(The true aim of the U.N.’s 2014 Paris climate conference was) “to change the (capitalist) economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the Industrial Revolution.”
U.N. Climate Chief Christiana Figueres

“No matter if the science is all phony, there are collateral environmental benefits. … Climate change (provides) the greatest chance to bring about justice and equality in the world.”
Christine Stewart, Canada’s former Minister of the Environment

“We’ve got to ride the global warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, we will be doing the right thing in terms of economic policy and environmental policy.”
Tim Wirth, former U.S. Undersecretary of State for Global Affairs (He set up the Kyoto Protocol)

So two climate phenomena seem to be in tension with each other- the Alps’s winter sports being on, ahem, thin ice at lower elevations, and the AMOC shutting down possibly causing very local cooling in Europe despite continued warming elsewhere.

So would the AMOC shutting down save Alpine skiing?

So lets get this straight then . The UK produces 1% of the co2 that is 0.4% of the Earth's atmosphere so that's 0.004% and of that 0.1% comes from breathing , that makes 0.000004% of the Earth's total co2 ! Please correct me if my maths is wrong but surely that is such an infinitesimal amount as to be totally insignificant ! PLUS with all the trees , flowers , plants and crops that we grow that amount would NOT even provide only about 0.001% of the co2 to sustain the said trees etc ! Somebody's having a larf methinks !

All other gases in the atmosphere except Oxygen 21% and Nitrogen 78% are l % or less. CO2 is .04%. If it drops below .02% all plant life could not exist. Plants do better at .10%, some greenhouse’s pump in  CO2 to increase their harvest up to .12%
This is one topic anyone can ask their cellphone. Try it, just ask how much CO2 is in the atmosphere.
That’s how uninformed most people are today.

Just wanna say, I love the new haircut 🤩

This was for a school project, but tbh im really interested

Thanks for explaining this so well. I was getting quite confused about the reporting on AMOC (especially vs the Gulf Stream).

Is the "hockey stick" graph based on perfectly sound science? Are you able to go back to basics on this one, given the current court case?

Basic science tells us the more co2 the faster plants grow and store carbon. Scientists don’t even agree on what caused the end of the last ice age. The idea they all agree about the causes of change , the speed of change and the solution is a total lie. The only agreement across the different fields of science is that climate changes. “Climates science” was not even considered a science until the past 30 years or less. If they don’t go along they lose all funding. Our solar systems trip through the galaxy takes 26,000 years and there are variations within that cycle because the next 26,000 years after that has variations from the first. Finally and perhaps most important the sun goes thru cycles that we don’t fully understand but it does have cycles of sun spots that make solar ejections increase every 10-12,000 years. Remember when the Covid lab leak theory was a conspiracy theory and even though scientists knew it was not a crazy theory no one that wanted to speak up was allowed onto the media to inform the public. The same thing is going on with climate theory now.

Lol "And you can help by bringing up conversations" ie, arguing with friends/ relatives lol. Fear porn. But also poorly true

No. It couldnt happen. Relax.

hurricane Harvey in 2017 dumped as much fresh water on Eastern Texas in a little over a week as melts off of Greenland in a year. almost all of that water flowed back down into the Gulf of Mexico and there were no massive long ter environmental effects. the Gulf of Mexico is much smaller than the Atlantic Ocean, how does the same amount of water have a huge effect on the Atlantic Ocean when it did not have much of an effect on the Gulf of Mexico?

Ahh... another 'climate communicator' who is clearly becoming addicted to hopeium. We'll be fine, right?? Right. Let's take another hit on that pipe!!!

It's not only about fossil fuels you know conventional agriculture is also a huge factor regarding greenhouse emissions and climate change. We need to produce and consume local food. For example avocado is not sustainable in most parts of the world. They need a lot of water. Also it's not sustainable for it to be shipped thousands of kilometers just so you can have it on your breakfast toast. Be smart consume local. That's the best way to reduce greenhouse emissions. Problem is most of the people even when they care they just forget about it. We are constantly being programmed to consume. The real problem is money and the responsible are the couple of guys controlling the industry. Just do a little research about BlackRock and where it is located. Then just connect the dots.

We were going into the ice age in the 70's and it was wrong. My guess is we are wrong again. What you need to worry about is what happens when we run out of fertilizers and what hungry people are capable of.

🌍🌌 I also have some problems with "sudden stratospheric warming".
🔄 Big events like "Ingunn" moved air from the the tropics straight towards the polar see, 🌎🏖↗☃ heating the stratosphere through the accelerated polar vortex, a convective system.
The oceanic currents can´t stop before the Earth´s rotation ends.
Both is caused by balancing the gyroscope´s centrifugal force (accelerating masses closer to the poles towards the equator 🛖↙🍙) and centripetal gravitation, both modulated by centripetal force, bold relief or coastlines. Heating and cooling (or salt) induce some densitity changes, affecting the height or depth of molecules´ movement.
Centrifugal force would cause 🪐, spherical gravitation 🌐, a perfect rounded (atmo)sphere.

If climate models ignore that fundamental forces, they must produce data garbage.

- We live in the same climate as it was 5 million years ago -
I have an explanation regarding the cause of the climate change, it is the travel of the universe to the deep past since May 10, 2010.
Each day starting May 10, 2010 takes us one thousand years to the past of the universe.
Today March 31, 2024 the state of our universe is the same as it was 5,074 million years ago.
On january 20, 2050 the state of our universe will be at the point 14 million and 500 thousand years in the past.
On september 15, 2100 the state of our universe will be at the point 33 million years in the past.

Persistent westerly winds have also dragged the current in one direction for over 20 years, increasing the speed and size of the clockwise current and preventing the fresh water from leaving the Arctic Ocean. This decades-long western wind is unusual for the region, where previously, the winds changed direction every five to seven years.

Scientists have been keeping an eye on the Beaufort Gyre in case the wind changes direction again. If the direction were to change, the wind would reverse the current, pulling it counterclockwise and releasing the water it has accumulated all at once.

“If the Beaufort Gyre were to release the excess fresh water into the Atlantic Ocean, it could potentially slow down its circulation. And that would have hemisphere-wide implications for the climate, especially in Western Europe,” said Tom Armitage, lead author of the study and polar scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.

Fresh water released from the Arctic Ocean to the North Atlantic can change the density of surface waters. Normally, water from the Arctic loses heat and moisture to the atmosphere and sinks to the bottom of the ocean, where it drives water from the north Atlantic Ocean down to the tropics like a conveyor belt.

This important current is called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation and helps regulate the planet’s climate by carrying heat from the tropically-warmed water to northern latitudes like Europe and North America. If slowed enough, it could negatively impact marine life and the communities that depend on it.

“We don’t expect a shutting down of the Gulf Stream, but we do expect impacts. That’s why we’re monitoring the Beaufort Gyre so closely,” said Alek Petty, a co-author on the paper and polar scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.

The study also found that, although the Beaufort Gyre is out of balance because of the added energy from the wind, the current expels that excess energy by forming small, circular eddies of water. While the increased turbulence has helped keep the system balanced, it has the potential to lead to further ice melt because it mixes layers of cold, fresh water with relatively warm, salt water below. The melting ice could, in turn, lead to changes in how nutrients and organic material in the ocean are mixed, significantly affecting the food chain and wildlife in the Arctic. The results reveal a delicate balance between wind and ocean as the sea ice pack recedes under climate change.

“What this study is showing is that the loss of sea ice has really important impacts on our climate system that we’re only just discovering,” said Petty.

The oceanic conveyer came to a stop in late 2023. Research Global Crisis The Responsibility. Everyone needs to know so we can make a public demand that all scientist come together in one place, stop working on military war weapons and start fixing this. We already have the technology to fix this but it's been hidden from people and it's use is banned bc with the technology they have hidden, we would no longer live in a consumer society. We would be a self sustaining self governing society.

Not going to happen. What the hell is a climate scientist! Only have to wait 1 more years for this one not to happen. Most used words If and could and collapse. This guy should be selling pens out of a paper cup.

One thing that is not going to happen anytime soon is society coming up with viable options to burning fossil fuels.

There's simply no choices...

Glad to be an older person.

What if i told you that the AMOC is corllapsing because there is too much Solar Radiation that is penetration from that atmosphere. the magnetic field of earth blocks most of that Radaitaion but if the magnetic field has been weakened then it could cause problems with the climate on earth also. but it is a fact that the magnetic field of earth has weakend 10% in 150 years. the data on the weaking magnetic field of earth on the last 20 years has shown that its not slowling down in fact its speeding up each year. that is why we see Auroras in low latitudes like in the middle of Mexico even when the solar storm was weak compaired to the last time this happend. what we would expect is more Aurora records , more extreme weather , more lighting more storms, more climate change, animals have lost there way on there migration path, more black outs, and the AMOC will collapse sooner than we expect. There are alot more but i dont beleave humans can stop this as it's beyond our control other than like prepare and harden the power grid from solar storms.

Day after tomorrow movieeeee

So if AMOC breaks down, Europe would have not a relatively warm climate anymore , but a climate that’s usual for that geographic latitude? A climate like southern Canada, which 25°C in summer and -20°C in Winter? And rising due to climate warming still going on?
Well, it would certainly be bad. But getting in Europe a climate like southern Canada is not exactly the stuff of catastrophe movies?

Would it help to off load several tankers worth of very salty brine near Greenland and refill them with fresh water to go to the Middle East or where ever else the brine comes from? Sorry if this is a completely mad suggestion, I don't know anything about the costs or practicalities etc.

Hair looks really good that way.

A paper that came out 2 months ago from Utrecht University, "Probability Estimates of a 21st Century AMOC Collapse, Emma J.V. Smolders, Rene M. van Westen and Hank A. Dijkstra" builds further on the one you mention with some updated research, specifically looking at the Gulf Stream.

In a nutshell they now suggest a 95% probability of a Gulf Stream collapse (saddle-bone bifurcation) between now and 2095. The most likely timeframe for this to happen is between 2037 and 2064, a period starting just 13 years from now - and they say 13 is an unlucky number! There's a 60% chance this will happen BEFORE 2050.

Contrary to what you suggest, we're hardly making ANY progress re. reducing carbon emissions, which are continuing to accelerate globally in the absence of any meaningful internationally binding agreements from the cop-out conferences. It's incumbent on us all to pressure our politicians to do much more.

Imma be real, i dont need the intense music on this. Im already strapped in

Time to build greenhouses, of all things..

Miyawaki forests

I take acceptance tot word collapse. The momentum is much too high for that. A tipping point could sift the the northern loop a few hundred kilometers south and the results would be just as dramatic. 😢

Worst is the political effect: if the AMOC collapse would immediately cause the conservative and right-wing authoritarian politicians to smugly and cheerfully exclaim, "See we told you there's no global warming and we told you that we're headed for a new ice age!" 😠😡👿🤬

I have some concerns about the climate, but I think the speed of change predicted by many doomsayers is grossly exagerrated. Part of the Florida Keys are already supposed to be underwater. Past tense. ALL of the keys are supposed to be underwater by the end of 2025. 13 months from now. There are a lot of other such predictions out there, some bordering on hilarious. I hear some of the fear mongers make statements like "The Arctic ice cap will be gone by the end of this year" "We only have 12 years left", etc.

It is clear the weather is going amoc......
