ya they hammer into our heads in school that trees are what keeps us alive, i was pretty shocked and kind of mad to find out the truth. why is this hidden from us i wonder? maybe its so they can keep treating the ocean like a dumpster til we are all dead. people keep screaming about deforestation and climate change when the real threat to our survival is keeping the ocean in balance and keeping plankton thriving
Just 7 years ago, we had no idea what was coming. We are now facing the extinction of plankton, the exact catastrophe that can end us all. We have until 2045.
Really? I thought plankton is a bad guy. Because plankton has always been trying to steal the krabby patty formula and he said that he wanted to take over the world.
Plankton - the most significant life form on the planet. Also, you forgot to mention that their extinction would mean a drastic increase of CO2 in the atmosphere, which would increase the greenhouse effect dramatically
i find it mind boggling most people have no idea plankton creates 70% of earths oxygen supply. I'm so tired of hearing "we get all our oxygen from trees and without trees we would all die do to lack of oxygen". thank god for google or i would have heated arguments about it because no one believes me when i tell them most of our oxygen comes from a tiny organism in the ocean
Leading on from your comment. Once the co2 raises the earth's tempreture more ocean water will evaperate causing the weather to change which would in tern change the four seasons all mixed up which will in tern screw the crops that we grow.

Excellent! Thank you! Just to share where I am coming from. We seem to have an astounding uptick in jellyfish population explosion, seen in groupings locally, colloquially described as "smacks." A brief lit review led me to understand that sea temperature increase could be the primary reason, and eutrophication or man-made hyper-nutrification possibly another main one. My understanding, these factors and possibly others contribute to a shift in the various contributions of plankton including such things as the ratio of bacterioplankton to phytoplankton and zooplankton, thus creating an ever worsening positive feedback loop of decreased oxygen, increased hypoxia or low oxygen saturation in related animal life, and decreased carbon sequestration as you mentioned, and therefore, circuitously, a pro/net and compounding temperature-increasing effect. Is that roughly your take also? Thank you.
Yeah, it is true all that he says, except for the comment on the fuel (there are other comments on this issue below: PistenBoy)... it would take millions of years to produce car fuel from sedimented dead plankton...

According to NASA using their specialist satellites, the Oxygen produced by phytoplankton and other Ocean plants is anywhere between 50% and 90%. These quantities vary depending on the time of year and Ocean currents rising from the deep that bring minerals to where the algae are living - just below the Ocean's surface. This is referred to as the 'Spring Bloom'.
i find it telling that 99% of people have no idea where most of the planets oxygen comes from, maybe if they did they would realize our oceans importance.
You are correct - virtually all humans have no idea how important this micro-algae is to our survival and of all creatures in the Ocean. Unfortunately, these people cannot understand anything that is invisible to the naked eye. Every human contains trillions of living bacteria in and on their body - but because they are invisible to the naked eye they are considered to be unimportant. We describe this human attitude as Ignorance & Apathy for which there is no known remedy. In fact, some humans only have the attention span of a gnat (no offence to the insect world!) - they only recognise what they can see, touch, feel and taste.
@@return2earthvideochannel another thing I find strange is we are not taught this in school? They hammer in that trees are where oxygen comes from, but I can't remember hearing about oxygen coming from a tiny organisms like phytoplankton once, maybe I smoked too much herb and forgot. There are so many things I was taught in school that turned out to be bullshit that I never believe anything I am told until I prove it myself, I guess that's a good thing.
Even worse, according to NASA "Diatoms, the largest type of phytoplankton algae, have declined more than 1 percent per year from 1998 to 2012 globally, with significant losses occurring in the North Pacific, North Indian and Equatorial Indian oceans."
It's almost impossible for plankton to die off, If a dead marine life is "dead" out of hunger (apparently) from the absent of plankton, it's decomposed carcass will reproduce it. It's an infinite loop of life cycle, unless Earth explode into oblivion... This hypothesis is not valid as it doesn't kill off the paradox of symbiosis on end...
You are incorrect in your assumption. Dead sea creatures do not and cannot manufacture marine phytoplankton. Only living marine phytoplankton can replicate itself. You said this: "paradox of symbiosis on end" ... these words make no sense! Fact: over 40% of all marine phytoplankton has disappeared from our Oceans since records began... how do you explain that?
I hoped the video had information if these critical species were threatened - and how the threat can be reduced. I don't know if global warming is affecting plankton. I like my oxygen and would like to keep breathing it!
There are huge global existential risks that we could potentially prevent from happening, like another huge asteroid collision more powerful than the one 66 million years ago. Unfortunately humanity as a whole has been one of the greatest existential threats to life, so I hope we will be able to grow up as a species, and to grow towards ecological stewardship.
Ya...ppl in my office think office job r d most important things to be done ...btw a lot of us never really make a serious effort to minimise carbon footprint
At around 1:40 you say that plankton are responsible for 20% of all photosynthesis that occurs on Earth. Yet, near the end of the video, you ask us to take a breath and say that half of the oxygen we breathe comes from plankton. These statistics seem contradictory. Can you explain how half of the world's oxygen is produced by only 20% of the world's photosynthesis?
NASA have confirmed from satellites in space that marine phytoplankton does indeed produce at least 50% of the total oxygen we breath. In fact, this percentage increases during the 'spring bloom' when powerful Ocean currents raise enormous quantities of minerals from the sea bed up to the surface to nourish the phytoplankton. There are a few sceptics - flat earth folks and others - that dismiss the importance of phytoplankton. Just because you cannot see it with the naked eye does not mean it doesn't exist!
Can we artificially produce large amount of phytoplanton to reverse the co2 concentration in the air and thus reverse climate change? is it feasible? I know some countries have carbon tax, can we use those money to raise more phytoplanton?
Wow, I had no idea how important and vital plankton are. So it turns out, Plankton is the reason why everyone was alive, including Spongebob Squarepants and Patrick. 😊
Thats a bit far fetched to say that there would be no cars.. I mean you even say that it takes millions of years for their waste to turn into the oil and gas reserves..?
So peaceful swimming and dancing living dying with the season in the sun until one day one phytoplankton eats another phytoplankton and sets in motion a great war and the rise of fish called Wanda, now Wanda was from the oceans off Rwanda and an absconda named anaconda climbs a tree sees a crab apple and says wow you beat me why did you beat me up this tree, if I have done something wrong testify to that woman and that man coming.
