    Deep in the ocean, fluffy bits of organic matter fall like snow. But this marine snow isn’t just pretty; it’s an essential part of our ocean food webs and our global climate!

    Thanks to those of you who pointed out the 3 billion square kilometers number is wonky! We got that out of a peer-reviewed paper, but it turns out they added a zero (the paper they cited actually said 300 million square kilometers, not 3 billion). We should have dug a bit deeper with that number, so we apologize!
    The papers in question, if anyone wants to learn more about this and how those numbers came about:

      Why don't we want to have a warmer climate? It takes more than Co2 to cause global warming. Climate change has been happening ever since the planet has been able to support life.
      The plants are suffering under the amount of Co2 in our atmosphere and is the reason why people who have green houses pump Co2 inside those glass houses. Co2 is plant food and without it, wouldn't be pretty. The earth is still recovering from the last ice age where the growing of food was limited to certain areas. When I hear leadership or people like Bill Gates saying that we need to eliminate Co2 from the atmosphere is totally insane. Plants, shrubs and trees breathe Co2 and exhale Oxygen. You eliminate Co2, you will be eliminating yourself as the ice sheet that ends up covering your bones for thousand and thousands of years until some asteroid hits to warm up the planet or we move closer to the sun. Another thing that will happen as the sun ages. It might turn into a red giant and it will effect global warming on Earth.

      @Evi1M4chine I'm aware of what the fermentation process does, but we developed that process for food preservation and expanding our palettes. A side benefit of the microbe poop product is that it takes complex molecules and makes them simpler. Otherwise it would take more energy for our bodies to digest or we don't have the machinery/internal microbial helpers to do so. As for marine snow, I still wouldn't stick *my* tongue out, because I don't have digesting capability to do so, nevermind the "acquired taste" for it.

    This is really fascinating how the life on this planet all works together in different ways, like how this 'marine snow' feeds the denizens of the deep waters and stores carbon at the bottom of the ocean. But then you had to ruin it by emphasizing AGW, instead of letting people be persuaded by how the life/atmosphere cycle works.
    Anyway, I'd like to see more of these deep sea creatures that are at or near the bottom of the ocean, especially if you've got video!

    Super interesting! I'd be very curious about research about increasing the amount of marine snow and carbon sequestration. Maybe some kind of aquaculture to grow specific algea that sequester carbon more quickly, using a fleet of robots that fertilize and cultivate large swathes of ocean. Maybe even using genetically engineered algae that are very good at sequestering carbon to the seafloor.
    Because that plant a tree thing won't do much, but the ocean is large and unused by people. So using automation you could build fleets of robot ships analyzing the water composition, adding chemicals to promote ideal growth for carbon sequestration.
    It's honestly the only thing that makes sense to me that could be done on scale for carbon sequestration.

      In areas that are less acidic with a lot of calcium in the ocean, it is possible for the calcium to precipitate out of the water and it looks like snow.

      The hammer like structures convert the circular motion of motor into an up-and-down motion for pumping.
      If you're asking what effect the up-and-down motion has underground then I have no idea.

    • @absalomdraconis
      @absalomdraconis 4 года назад

      Those are levers, with a pump on one end, a motor on the other, and weights scattered around. The "hammer head" is itself a weight. On the opposite end of the metal bar that it's mounted on you see a linkage, which itself is connected to a motor, which itself is pretty much always electric. The pivot is between, where that triangular spar suddenly squares off. The cable or pole connected to the hammer head connects to the pump, and is used to drive it's action. There are multiple designs of these, including with various numbers and placements of weights. The ones I'm most familiar with have two more weights mounted to the motor with arms, and themselves serve to stabilize the force going to the linkage bars.

      No, fish and marine animals produce very little impact on the atmosphere through metane and carbón, which are not released directly into the atmosphere but mostly difuse in the water and are used by other organisms, especially if you compare them to our domestic animals from large industries such as cows, sheep, pigs and chicken who release their methane directly into the atmosphere and whose waste is dumped in rivers and lakes which intoxicates that ecosystem

      During the renaissance they estimate CO2 levels several times higher than it is today. Maybe not anywhere close to what it was during the Cretaceous period but still a lot higher than today. Life went on just fine. Better than fine even. And considering the renaissance was well before the industrial age it puts a huge wrench in the climate change BS. Furthermore plants NEED CO2 to survive and flourish. The more of it in the atmosphere the better the plants do and as a result more oxygen that's in the atmosphere for us to breath. I say pump the CO2. And while yes in certain areas smog would be an issue overall we'll be just fine.
