    Oregon Coast here, yeah the Starfish had caught that disease as well, now barnacles and such are over populating unchecked,
    We already have a shellfish toxic warning this year and its still active, I think at least 9 people have been hospitalized even though its tested for weekly
    and even though the climate has been very cool so far this year
    Ocean warming is still the issue producing the algae i guess, thanks for covering the topic

    It should be noted that environmental degradation isn't just "happening". It is a disingenuously passive expression of very deliberate actions by 8 billion people. It would be sad and bad enough if it was just happening for "natural" reasons, but knowing full well that is largely human-induced is a very bitter reality.

    This is the most significant horror story of the present century. And we are only a quarter through this century. Unfortunately we won't remotely understand this rapidly increasing destruction for another couple of decades, after which it will truly be way too late .

    I think it's just slightly important to mention how much oxygen these underwater forests create. There are few things more fundamental to our survival...

    As a child of 60s Venice beach I watched the our magnificent and abundant kelp ecosystems gradually retreat, then collapse. Near shore kelp resto is insigificant, offshore could be signicant if done gently.

    Good point Regina. If people could at least cut down on meat eating that would help. I tried going vegan but it was a step too far. I do eat eggs, a friend has chickens and they are well cared for. And milk from an organic farm.

      Killing our fellow animals for the sake of human taste buds is a step too far. Eggs and dairy also cause great suffering and death (as I learned shortly after going veg and that's why I decided to go vegan). That was over 30 years ago and it's by far the best decision I've ever made. Where there's a will, there's a way. There are substitutes for everything dairy and egg these days. I'm here to help...

    Do not dismiss this idea because of the messenger, really think it through because it is an elegant solution.
    Please look into using parabolic solar to heat a medium up sufficiently that the pipe that contains it (Molten salt for example) turns into a coil, that essentially becomes a furnace of 450-600c that has zero co2. this furnace is meant to be a 'pass through' furnace. any remaining heat in the solar thermal pipe continues on towards a thermal battery for other uses.
    Not only are there now many locations around the world where it is fire safety policy to cut back all of ones spring growth, but there are just simply VAST areas of grass at our disposal.
    Grasses could be a backbone restoration route.
    American Switch grass is a pro choice for scale because of how it pulls all of it's nutrients into it's root ball in winter, leaving just a carbon husk above ground.
    We can harvest literally millions of tons of grass every year.
    Grass can become a superior form of Biochar for soil building and carbon sequestration.
    This solar thermal heating coil method, is a pure solar punk way of creating a place where we can conveyor belt grass through the coil where it cooks and becomes biochar and we harvest the gasses at the same time.
    The only problem with all of this biochar that we can use to store carbon and repair our farmlands and even over time add billions of tons of height to our soils is that it needs activating or it will suck nutrients from healthy soil.
    Luckily, we can also run grass through a biodigester, which produces biogas and liquid fert.
    This liquid fert made from grass is sufficient nutrient elixir to activate biochar made from grass.
    The off gasses from the biochar production and the biogas from the liquid fert production are both forms of carbon neutral surplus energy that can be used elsewhere.
    carbon sequestration and massive soil building from the power of the sun using very humble levels of technology.
    Insanely scalable.

      Top down, slow freezing of sea water using heat pumps can not only produce drinkable ice, but also creates an extremely salt rich and co2 rich 'brine' that can be controlled.
      we can concentrate it enough so we can quite literally shake the fizz out of it like a bottle of pop!
      we can also start dealing with the salt cycle that we have tipped into the red.
      Heat pump based desalination... telling you guys. its da future ;)
      I call it my form of direct ocean capture.

    I dont care for slow walking toward an answer but it seems to typify RUclips videos. But generally the most important parameters are temperature and pH. Reefs have been dead or dying for 30 years or so. The last victims to go are the poor people that fish and the scientists that do research. They are vanishing now, finally.

    The pedant in me leads me to point out that "decimate" is so frequently used incorrectly since it means historically a reduction of one tenth (look up the derivation). Therefore you might need to say the kelp forests have been "nonagintated" - i.e. ninety percent reduced! On a much more serious note, it seems every metric I hear these days shows biodiversity everywhere is ninety-plus percent reduced, including in my home in the UK. This is loss on a catastrophic scale, yet most people don't seem to care. Whilst grieving at this incalculable direct result of overconsumption and overpopulation, I continue to be in awe of the remaining ten percent, and do all I can to treasure it.

    Kelp grows much faster than trees, it makes more sense to plant kelp.

    The purpose of a corporations is to protect managements' greed from consequence of their actions.
    A corporation should never have political access or free speech for all costs are transferred to consumers.
    Congress needs to address Citizens United Decision and who is a person.

    Thank you for your informative talks. I have a suggestion. I watch on RUclips and they underline segments that have been watched in red, the same color that you use to outline your introduction graphic. When I'm looking for new content to view a quick look at your program graphic makes it look as though I've already viewed the program. I would like to seggest that you change the color in your graphic.

    A friend in Northern California used to do "kelp diving" to harvest kelp (sustainably), around 20 years ago. It was still plentiful then... scary how fast this collapse has happened.

    Thank you very much for this video. Examples of how climate change threatens the most valnurable ecosystems on Earth are very important. Hope will open eyes of most people.
    I would like to ask Paul, please, make video on "Humidity paradox", Paul Mauritz Glantz is going to publish study about this topic. Quite difficult topic to understand how water vapour contribute to GHG effect. 🌍🕊
