  • A major ocean current responsible for circulating water in the Atlantic Ocean and maintaining global weather patterns is at risk of collapsing. About That producer Lauren Bird explains why it's believed to be weakening, and what experts warn could happen if it does.

    The AMOC and the Gulf Stream are two different, though connected, things. The first is powered by water temperature and salinity, the second by the spinning of the earth and wind. Thus the stopping of the AMOC does not mean the end of the Gulf Stream.

      YESSIR! They are talking nonsense in order to impliment new draconian measures to control our lives... Worst part is, it will all be for naught! If you follow legit, open minded, highly qualified climatologists, they will tell you there is much much more at play and that we have zero control over... Yet here we are playing day after tomorrow clips to frighten people into submission when the measures are rolled out. I would hate to be Canadian these days. Its gonna suck for Europe AND Canada. Dont get me wrong, they will try it here in the states, but our constitution is keeping them in check.

Future generations are going to have an extra burden of rage that the struggle bequeathed to them was so unnecessary - the leaders and voters from the 20th century knew exactly what they were doing and chose to continue doing it - but they will still do their absolute best to survive and thrive. That's what all life forms do.

    • @mayatara1980
      @mayatara1980 3 месяца назад

      I am not religious, and I do not challenge that we are totally disrupting the ecosystems and climate systems, I just want to point out we're not killing the planet per se, we're destroying its current biosphere. The planet will be fine and readjust itself and find new balances, as it always does, and life will thrive again with news species replacing the old ones, the problem is we're killing ourselves and most other life we depend on to survive. So in that sense, you can say we're killing "the planet", but it will bounce off once it gets rid of us.
      Your argument is still a good one. According to the bible, we're supposed to be the caretakers of god's creation. But when someone wrongfully translated "care for" for "dominate", to justify destroying it and killing all the animals, that's when they completely took us away from being caretakers of "god's creation" and now they really don't seem to care anymore.

    Little correction on, "We are not at this point yet !". I don't know how one measure the start of something, but on my side, if there are sings, it has started! Yes we are at this point now, It's starting and every sings are there. In 2021, Canada had It's worst crop yield and so as other food countries. Droughts and floods, fires, tornados where there was none, hurricane stronger than ever, climate going from drought to floods over and over again. Yes there is other factors contributing to the rise cost of food but the main one is availability. Food cost is just going to rise rapidly and as other goods as rebound.
    No food does mean the crash of this type of economy we live in and the good comfort of modern living we enjoy so mush and take for granted.
    In 2023 we had our FIRST full year 1.4 °C above pre industrial levels. Ok it does take at least a decade of repeated temperatures to say we reached it, but it as started nevertheless.
    And the gentlemen comment before me is right about the AMOC and the gulf stream. These are two distinctive currents, one influences the other but are considered different.
    I don't now what it will take for people to open there eyes!

    Some missing points in the video. The latest paper that has everyone talking about this now says it will stop between 2025 and 2095. The end of the video leaves the impression that 2100 is the expected year it will stop not 2065 which is what the paper says the expected date is. Also, it only mentions in passing that it evens out the temperature between temperate Northern latitudes and tropical equatorial latitudes. So we get climate change deniers talking about ice ages. In reality, it means a slower warming in the north and faster warming in the south part of the northern hemisphere.

    • @TherealRTZ973
      @TherealRTZ973 11 месяцев назад +3

      The water movement now is what evens out the temperature. If you get rid of it you will see further extremes. Warm places like England will see an incredible amount of cooling. I'm sure as the planet on average continues to heat It will go far above that after.

    The current would depend on gravity ? Tides. So unless the land is changing to funnel water off somewhere else like man made lakes, massive canals ? The rotation of the planet might change if the weight of the water starts moving in another direction, so then tides could maybe wash over countries or your country could end up suddenly bigger as the water goes somewhere else. Hot water rising towards the surface has zero to do with current movements. Like if Ireland was positioned on the Pacific equator it would be underwater, if you view the earth without water its not round at all

    Pollution is bad, and warming is bad yes. But the earth has existed for much much longer than we have, and I feel we risk over estimating our own impact, and knowledge. Since we existed humanity has had to deal with natural disasters out of our control. We still do when it comes to tsunami's and earthquakes. This whole debate is essentially our argument that WE are now the ones causing the random chaos of earth's nature.
    Ultimately the earth has always been a dynamic system. Our cities and infrastructure is largely designed and based on the assumption of fixed conditions. When those "fixed" conditions change, that's where technology and old designs need to be adapted. Whether we are impacting the rate of that change or not, we still need to innovate. There will always be a limit to how much we influence the planet. We are quick to forget that we are the passengers on earth, but not the ones in the driver seat.

    So when you start your " news" clip with an overly dramatic movie clip from a non relevant to the topic movie .I know we have moved from news to entertainment .
    This report of the AMOC collapsing is not considered the finished science on this topic . It is one viewpoint with many detractors.
    I live in Ontario , my view of the weather we have received this summer as damn near perfect. Lots of hot weather, with plenty of rain am I too now conclude that Climate change is good ? No , of course not . I will consider that not all the effects from it will be neccesarily negative. Where you live will matter .
    Science does not take a single report , study , ect and declare definitive conclusions , but CBC found a report that fit its narrative and presented it as fact .
    The climate that needs to change is public funding to the CBC....
