Scientists warn Gulf Stream could collapse as early as 2025

- Scientists are warning that a crucial tipping point could be reached in 2025 - that would see the start of the collapse of the Atlantic Gulf Stream - if global emissions were not reduced.
The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, known as AMOC, drives the Atlantic's currents - by pushing warm water from the Gulf of Mexico northwards, towards the Arctic, where it cools and sinks.
It last collapsed during the previous ice age around 12,000 years ago - and could have catastrophic impacts for humanity.
Sea levels would rise around the East Coast of North America - and storms would worsen in Europe.
While rains in Asia, Africa and South America would be disrupted - causing issues for food production for billions of people.
Matthew England is an ocean and climate dynamics professor at the University of New South Wales. His Antarctic-focussed work is very similar to this latest study. He Joins us live from Sydney to discuss this.

Rich folks with enormous carbon footprints are urging poor people with tiny carbon footprints to reduce their carbon footprint.
Can you be a little more specific? Who are the rich folks and who are the poor? That is pretty relative, you know?
That is capitalism for you. Pure injustice.

If he talks about middle-class Westerns not having to change their habits he is simply wrong. Individual cars, eating meat several times a week, buying gadgets which go into the dustbin after a few days: All that has to change. We have solutions for that, public transportation, shortened commuting distances, banning programmed obsolescence for products etc..
You might think you have a “tiny footprint” but unless you’re vegan and live off grid.. I doubt it!

Not true. Stop spreading misinformation.
We notice these changes 40+ years ago kiddo 🤨

SIgns & Tribulations, right! Do you think you're the first End of Days zealot to see 'portents of evil'. We all just survived 1,000 YEARS of the Universal Church and their 'One True Science'© Dark Ages, ...before Galileo, Magellan, Voltaire, Newton, Darwin et al brought humanity out from the iron claw of the Vatican and their genöcidal Spanish Conquistadors.
Is that what you want? Tithe slavery to a distant IPCCery of Scienter Archbishops and cardinals? Al Gore's face every night on 6-o'clock news while you scarily yourself with brambles and kneel on glass shards?
*Why aren't you paying your Climate Tithe to Brussels!?*
You remember the HOTTEST DAY ON RECORD!© script, played out last week in the pan-Media, during the House vote on the $898B Defense ReAppropriations with their $10sBs Green Slush Fund Rider?
It was an *AI COMPUTER SIMILATION* in the fine print, just another bullsjt "Climate model", _but Sinclair-Rogers Pan Media ran with the banner anyway!_
I have been aware of the accumulating evidence for most of my adult life, but politicians are probably too stupid to understand it, so I have even less hope now than I did as a naive student.
But still it is a bit of over dramatic .
The word stream and collapse are mutually exclusive .
So I dont buy it but still gulf stream certainly can change enough that it can harm europe .But snow between December and February and morning temperatures of -10 should be normal for anything north of 45 latitude
warmer air means it absorbs more water particles. If clouds covered the planet we might be ok. Hard to know but change is inevitable.
It's hardly just the "politicians", the obscenely wealthy and powerful, at times both narcissistic and incompetent, their media properties, the poor who worships at the feet of the wealthy, the religious who likes to think they are protected above all, the conspiracy theories who think they are the center of the universe.... just to name a few.
Yeah but the oceans hold a lot of carbon and I’ve read the ocean only has 10 percent heat capacity left. El Niño hasn’t even been fully ramped up yet. Just wait until winter. I thought the doomers and alarmist were being edgy. I took a closer look at evidence being presented and I’m honestly scared. Live in the moment and make sure you let your loved ones know you do. These wildfires can spread coast to coast. We’re in uncharted territory with the weather. Oceans release co2 When that heavy water sinks to the deep sea, large portions of that CO2 can be stored for a long time. But as the ocean continues to warm like the rest of the planet, its waters are projected to become less efficient at taking in carbon dioxide, and can even release it back into the atmosphere more rapidly
Honestly you would have to be stupid to not see where we are heading.
correction .. the 'tipping point' has already been exceeded, it's the time table for collapse that's still being determined .. WORST case now = 2025

Basically like a car engine without antifreeze, the radiator and hoses freeze but the engine boils. The north and south freeze but around the equator it boils.
Interesting
There will be even more cloud in the intertropical convergence zone . This will moderate temperatures in the equatorial region.
then the AC is turned on?
Not if it’s Venus by Tuesday
Been climate aware/anxious since the ozone layer fiasco in the ‘70s; mistakenly thought we’d evolve enough to not get to this point. Never did imagine we’d mess it up even more, or worse, experience it this soon.
Yep that about sums it up for me too!! I crossed the line of believing in climate science in 1988 and have prepared by living simpler (i on flew once since 1988 ) I moved to the shore of Lake Superior of way up north and I drive as little as possible. Very few people did the same in The United States sadly . Did you see the high ocean temperature record being broken yesterday in the Florida Keys of 101.1 the old record was in the gulf of Kuwait 🇰🇼 in the Persian Gulf 😡😡😡😡that’s not good Coral 🪸 reef scientists stated today that the last of the coral reefs in Florida will die before summers end
Also very similar here, except I never fully bought into the extended timeframes for impact we've been given. My gut has been warning me. I moved out of California almost 20 years ago because of climate concerns. That said, I did expect we'd have a couple more decades before hitting this point. Atmospheric masking and unknown tipping points (unknown decades ago) tipped the scales and our time has run out...I can't stop thinking about all the suffering and misery already here and still coming our way...the misery my grandchildren will endure...
@@Mike80528 I have a teenager and only wonder the change in climate she will endure I’m thinking like how do I sell everything and move to New Zealand 🇳🇿 and hide out as the world collapses but I can’t be a citizen anymore because of my age (40 or under ) but we could survive maybe in Hawaii on the rainy side of the big island
Likewise, I have lived a simpler, less consumerist lifestyle for over 40 years - after my father came home from finishing a contract to design data collection programs for a climate research unit's computers.
Aware of the nature of the data they were collating, my father asked scientists there what would happen if nothing was done to decrease our impact on the environment. They were right on the money with their predictions.
everything is panning out according to what they told my father, and with what he came home to tell me.
I began adjusting my life from that moment. But still I saw little progress.
However, in the 1990's, when the world got together to ban CFCs, I began to kindle a little hope that we would rally and help the environment after all.
How wrong I was. That one example of cohesive action seems to have been the one and only I would ever see.
What infuriates me most about all this is - we all know nothing much will change, despite scientists increased warnings like this one.
Our governments will talk and talk and talk, they will hold summits, and eventually a few might reluctantly drag their feet towards making small, almost indiscernible changes that will hardly make a difference.
Too concerned with the GDP and economy, our governments will happily leave it to individual ordinary citizens to do the hard work and foot the bill themselves. And those that can't afford it will foot the blame instead.
@@nickkacures2304 Have you thought about nomadic life? Instead of Storm Chasers it will be Anywhere There isn’t a Storm Chasers.

I have been trying to warn people that we have less than 10 years. But now, eventually, the media is talking about it!
Al Gore late 70's made some noise, and still does. 👍😎✊
Don't be ridiculous. Now that we have fusion and AI we're entering the goldilocks zone of humanity fulfilling every wish desire whim and whimsy. Hear of AC? We'll have greenhouses at perfect temps for every food stuff needed. The ocean is just a big fish tank to manage. Wear your fun fashion and party baby.
ha! I have the same estimate of Earth's systems collapsing... 10 yrs tops!
less than 10 years? WHAT A QUACK
Same, I’ve been saying this for decades; my friends all thought I was crazy.
People who live in cities are so far removed from nature they have no idea of what is going on around them. Most of them do not even know why it rains or snows. They have no idea how rain gets into the sky or why snow does either. They think it is just some kind of magic. No wonder they do not think any of this any is of their concern.
It is kind of magical.
@@chesterfinecat7588 Just as I thought. It is also why the pandemic affected city dwellers so bad that they thought a vaccine was the only solution instead of a natural one. City dwellers have very little understanding of the natural world surrounded by so much concrete and insulated from how things actually work. It feels like magic but unfortunately it is not.
We know how rain works lol smh.
@@chesterfinecat7588 is your TV magical?
I'm sorry, but it's too late to think that we can correct our trajectory. It goes against the laws of physics. The feedback mechanisms ensure that the trajectory continues. Besides, who really thinks we will reduce our emissions? Do we even function as a species anymore?
this!
Translation: somehow I talk about physics but don't apply it to the fact humans couldn't cause a shift like it's being reported in such a short amount of time.
as if you ever had the power to know when it wasn't too late
We were told for decades to reduce our emissions. A few years back we agreed internationally to reduce our emissions annually to 50% of 2005 emissions by 2030 and 0% by 2050.
Last year 2022 again broke new global CO2 emissions records. So..... Yeah.
@@willardfasto4494Nah! Of course not. It's absurd to think that billions of humans pulling 100s of billions of tons of carbon out of the ground (where it had been locked away for millions of years) and putting it in to our paper thin atmosphere would have any impact on the climate that all existent life on the surface evolved over long periods of time to live in. 🙄
So serious question as a young person, should I even bother planning for anything or trying in the future past 2025-2030? Asking a legitimate question here. Didn't think I'd reach my 20s and I don't think anything past the 30s is gonna be worth it...
This is my question too, I’m almost 32 and have been hella hesitant to try to get too deep into anything relating to a career. I’m just trying to be as happy as possible with the ‘now’
serious answer: stop listening to leftists and progressives and live your life how you want to live it
I’ve said for years: don’t worry about a retirement plan, spend and live in the moment.
And don’t listen to Robert, listen to the scientists and the blatant warning signs.
@irismartyn4088 I reckon we need to develop a stoic, resilient mindset Iris. You and I are not to blame for the inevitable to come, it's not our fault so no guilt and those who are to blame are beyond our control. Just look at how JSO volunteers get abused by fools driving machines that are belching out toxic fumes. Fools because most of them wouldn't have a clue how engines work but their attitude is as if they invented it themselves. I predict either a massive cultural revolution real soon, or sadly yet seriously, we will need to adjust to becoming scavenger cannibals by the end of the century.
Hmmm who’d of thought that more than doubling the co2 of our atmosphere in 100 years would cause issues ? Fools.

Maybe but it won't be our fault. Co2 makes up 0.04% of our atmosphere. Earth produces 97% of the Co2 humans 0.0012% Let the elites fly their jets into the sun. 😅

@@andymakin2194 If we quit using all fossil fuels world wide immediately Co2 to decrease less than 0.0000012% The Co2 in our air only makes up 0.04% the earths annual fluxes produces 97% of it.

Telling people it can be averted is all we can tell people. That's because the momentum already in motion is too much to stop.Its a simple psychological ploy so people do not loose hope.
Humans are susceptible to mass psychological phenomena such as popular delusions.
It is a ridiculous and economically destructive popular delusion that mans effects on the earth’s climate are significant and dangerous.

The damage is inevitable. All that is left is trying to mitigate it but we are in for some good pain in the coming years and frankly we deserve it.
The carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels are actually beneficial. Benefits include increased agricultural yields (main effect) reduced winter heating costs and fewer deaths from hypothermia.
@@johngeier8692 LOL, the idiots have moved to "actually climate change is good, so let's continue doing nothing". Meanwhile it's boiling where I am along with many other places, and wildfires are running rampant.
The only way the AMOC will stop is if the Arctic is ice free. The only way the Arctic can be ice free is if its too warm...Therefore you dont need the AMOC...
Not all of us deserve this. The people that have been put in power that are corrupt and paid off by corporations so they can do whatever they want in the name of the almighty dollar. I was born into this climate change and remember first hearing about global warming mentioned in elementary school. People should be demanding change with our fossil fuels.

The AMOC may weaken or even collapse, but the gulf stream is caused by the earth's rotation, so unless the earth stops spinning, the gulf stream will be ok. That being said, the AMOC weakening could cause a lot of havoc.
20 years ago they said climate change would get rid of the gulf stream
@@michah321 If by "they" you mean pundits and shock jocks and breathless reporters without a single science class to their name, then yeah, you are right.
Scientists, though, wouldn't have said that. See Wally Broeker's 1991 book The Great Ocean Conveyor which will give you a history of what we've known and for how long.
Exactly. It's so frustrating when those climate alamists confuse AMOC and Gulf Stream. When AMOC collapses, you get "The Day after tomorrow" but over 30 year period, not in 48 hours.
The only way the AMOC will stop is if the Arctic is ice free. The only way the Arctic can be ice free is if its too warm...Therefore you dont need the AMOC...
@@manoo422 The problem with that statement is that it is uncertain what the actual tipping point is of the AMOC, and how much melting is necessary to cause the current to stop completely. The rate of melting of the greenland ice sheet is phenomenly more fast paced than the melting that caused the last collapse. There are indications that the rate of melting can speed up the process of the AMOC collapse because the current bringing the warm, salty water northward is not replenishing the cold, desalinized water fast enough to keep the current in balance.
Can't even predict the weather accurately a week in advance 🤔
Maybe read up on chaos theory / butterfly effect. 👍
@@mattbrown-mb they should also read up on weather vs climate
@@mattbrown-mb Maybe go watch "An Inconvenient Truth" and see how inconvenient it is for people who believe climate scare headlines designed to elicit strong emotions and a sense of panic, that almost none of the predictions made have even come close to being accurate. What makes you think today's climate "computer models" are more accurate? Sometimes I think climate crisis supporters must have lived on a different planet than I did for the last 3 years, where media lied 24/7 and none of their pandemic "computer models" were accurate...
Not a single climate change doom prediction (and theres been thousands of them) has every come true. So yes, they are worse than their weather predictions.
Sorry to say this but I talked to many friends and family. They all said climate change is not real and they will not be doing anything about this. I sucks because it seems like they need to see something really bad to happen in order to wake up :(
When they do find their lives impacted by climate change I bet they will be the first to whinge about not being warned. It is so depressing to see the amount of wilful ignorance that remains.
@@coleorum Whinge? lol
Your family can apparently do their own research, instead of repeating headlines written by the same people who told us vaccines were 99% effective.
It sounds like you are the last one to wise up to the con. You need to stop believing the propaganda headlines and look out of the window...!!!
What we really need is the recognition that our economy and our way of life need to be changed drastically to reduce CO2 emissions significantly. The assumption that technological innovations can save us from the catastrophe is unrealistic, because in order to bring these (batteries, wind turbines, etc) about in sufficient quantities we first would have to use even more fossil fuels for extraction of the necessary raw materials and production of these items. After the recognition of the facts we need the political will to change, but I don't see that even on the horizon.
A great pity then that there is more discussion related to climate change on platforms such as RUclips than is taking place in any of our Parliaments.
While we ordinary citizens are concerned - our politicians continue to discuss GDP, the economy, and most reluctantly move towards taking mere baby steps to reduce our impact on this world.
I think each government is worried that they are going to be the chumps that end up spending their money on carbon capture while countries like Russia, China and India do next to nothing to reduce 'their' impact.
The solution is easy - buy nothing from them and they have no customers. Without customers, they have no money to build more coal burning power stations, concrete infrastructure, steel works, etc.
Due to current distrust between East and West, China's economy is tumbling like a house of cards. People in the West don't want to buy their products if there's an alternative. Many companies are re-siting their industries in places like Vietnam. In just the few years since the pandemic started, China has seen large numbers of industries collapse and millions out of work.
That is the power of the consumer.
So we 'can' control the impact of these countries - if we choose not to buy their products, living simpler lives, making do with what we have for as long as we can to ensure that this high consumer behaviour comes to an end.

@@debbiehenri345 I agree with you in substance, except for one point: Your suggested solution is not easy, because people in the developed world are accustomed to such exaggerated levels of expectations concerning material abundance, that trying to coax them into consumption abstention will engender uproar and protests. The required discussion about changes in wealth and income distribution to make any attempts at reduction of consumption acceptable is resisted by many and will take very long.

They cant even predict the weather next week let alone years in the future
weather and climate are not the same thing. Weather is only a part of the equation.
No, but they can read the warning signs. And you’re referring to meteorologists, climatologists are not the same thing.
Yet back in the 70s we were being told we were heading towards an ice age. They then worked out there's no money in that.
Spot on!
Yup, you would think people learned something from Covid. I actually wish I was brainwashed, its a lot less stressful.
Nah..the 70s was when Exxon's own scientists told Exxon and the rest of us that burning fossil fuels was heating the Earth's atmosphere. Fossil fuel billionaires told us their scientists were lying. Many believed them cause the idea that science can't be trusted and billionaires can makes sense to them.,. And so the "alternate reality " was born.
Did you listen to the video?
They said that the last time the Gulf Stream collapsed Europe entered an ice age.
It is what keeps high latitude countries, such as Britain, temperate - without warm ocean water coming from the South, Britain will become more like places on its latitude, such as Canada.
*Global* warming does not mean local temperatures will be warmer, but that a few degrees increase of global temperature can disrupt complex dynamic systems and produce sometimes counter-intuitive results.
Physics means it is literally impossible for the gulf stream to collapse.
There are a few things to worry about with a changing climate, but the gulf stream stopping is NOT one of them. DYOR.
Well your about to find out. You are wrong
Alarming situation
Delusional insanity.
The Climate Delusion in action again.
On the bright side, no more Florida. 🙂
Native plants/trees everywhere along roads freeways and hyways dont put em in concrete boxes there roots will fill it and even every day watering it will become drought stressed.
Remember more soil no boxes and less concrete and roads will help.
In what university this scientist graduated? The ocean currents are caused by the Earth rotation. Current may move a little bit, may be hotter or colder but it will exist until Earth is rotating.
The deflection of the atmosphere caused by the rotation of the earth sets up the complex global wind patterns which drive surface ocean currents; winds that drive ocean currents in the upper 100 meters of the ocean’s surface. Look up thermohaline circulation, which explains how deep-ocean currents are driven.
Bruh this is no joke if this happens humanity isn't lasting very long smh
Why does the presenter say that sea levels would rise on the east coast of America? Isn't he aware that all the seas and oceans around the world are connected? It's like saying that after a very heavy rain the water level at the deep end of my swimming pool rose.
When the earth spins, or really when any object that is filled with water spins at an angle water will gather toward the middle of the object before moving outward in a swirling pattern this is called the Coriolis effect.
Most of the water will gather near this center which is was although the glacier are melting everywhere the affect of water level rising will be felt the most near the equator as a lot of east Americas is under or at sea level. And it also at the center of this affect for the northern hemisphere.
@@starlightprincess4989 The only part of the East coast of America which is near the equator and is at or below sea level is Florida. I seriously doubt that as sea levels rise only Florida will be mostly affected.Sea level is called sea level for a reason. Sea level is always the same in any area of the world. There are no mountains of water in the ocean which remain higher than other parts of the ocean. Sea level is zero. From which we measure elevation.
This is pure speculation. It is just a study using perfect what if numbers. Must keep the funding going into the pockets of academia. In the 70s and early 80s we were headed to an ice age. Many of the same scientists of today were those scientists back then. How about a logical plan or statement instead of alarmism
sea levels vary due to local conditions. you should have stayed in school.
@@rd264 why the insult. Sea levels do not vary. They are constantly rising. That is what we are told. We get labeled a deniers when we use the logic of varying conditions. The more ironic thing of recent days is that the state that has raped the rivers of water and has the worst water management record of all the states is not bracing for record rainfall to destroy them. The alarmist are blowing the horn of fear daily.
With the global population exceeding 8 billion and growing, so will the carbon footprint.
I always thought global warming meant I should move to the Canadian Rockies, but now I see that I should move to the southwest (from NJ) to avoid the new ice age. Except there's no water down there. Wait, where should I go???
If humans immediately quit using fossil fuels worldwide the decrease in Co2 would negligible. Co2 in our atmosphere is 0.04%
Grow food, grow plants do It today ---how many of you actually can live off your land|??? Compost is another super way to stop waste---how many of you compost??
Your land ??
Compost also creates Co2 and methane.,
It's happened many times in the last 2.5 million years. It's like clockwork.
The AMOC (Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation) plays a crucial role in global climate patterns by redistributing heat from the tropics to higher latitudes. If the AMOC were to collapse, it would have significant consequences for regional and global climate systems.
1. Cooling of Western Europe: The AMOC transports warm water from the tropics to the North Atlantic, which helps keep Western Europe relatively mild and warm compared to other regions at similar latitudes. If the AMOC collapses, it could lead to a rapid cooling of Western Europe, potentially causing colder and harsher winters.
2. Changes in precipitation patterns: The AMOC influences the distribution of rainfall patterns, particularly in regions surrounding the North Atlantic. A collapse of the AMOC could alter these patterns, potentially leading to changes in rainfall amounts and distribution in affected areas.
3. Sea level rise: The AMOC also affects sea level patterns. A collapse of the AMOC could cause sea levels to rise along the eastern coast of North America due to a decrease in the transport of warm water away from the region.
4. Impacts on marine ecosystems: The AMOC plays a crucial role in the distribution of nutrients and the movement of marine species. A collapse of the AMOC could disrupt these ecosystems, potentially leading to changes in fish populations, migration patterns, and overall biodiversity.
It's inevitable, imminent, and routine. There's nothing to be done.
I gather you just pasted your reply from some where without understanding it... its not simple "clockwork"... the global heating rate is unprecedented
Those celebrities who spend lot with private jets should be accountable of their carbon footprint.
"we" can ALL reduce "our" carbon footprints by simply investing in relatively inexpensive charcoal/carbon filtration systems. "i" have had a large inline charcoal filter scrubbing 475cfm for years. "i" must have scrubbed "my" entire immediate families carbon footprint by now if not long ago. these things work so well "you" can stand right next to ONE and smoke a cigarette and the person on the other end of the exhaust will not only see absolutely no visible smoke at ALL but "they" will also smell no odors whatsoever when used properly. if "we" ALL used these filtration systems in "our" homes and businesses and everywhere else, "we" could easily assist the earth in its natural filtration and purification process.

"active air charcoal filtration" is actually a very simple concept/solution for purifying air.
fight carbon with carbon...

as with mathematics, so too are ALL things... the problems are actually also the solutions as well. they are merely waiting to be worked through. while the solutions are simultaneously the problems, which can be worked back through to check accuracy and or correctness.

This is terrifying. Europe would be sent into an ice age and become uninhabitable - absolutely insane.
The entire world will be uninhabitable.
@@EmeraldView most likely. Seems human kind will be sent back to the stone ages with only isolated groups surviving this madness if this truly happens.
@@EmeraldView No that's not how it works.
The Earth will remain habitable for hundreds of millions of years.
Eventually the sun will become sufficiently luminous to occasion the gradual loss of earth’s water into space. This process will commence in one billion years when the mean surface temperature reaches 47 degrees centigrade and will take 30 million years.
We are currently in a geological ice age with 3% of the earth’s surface under long term (millions of years) glaciation. The

Many hundreds of millions will starve. If you mean habitable to mean basic life, yes. But we are currently in one of the greatest mass extinction events on planet earth, caused by humanity. We are not in an ice age yet... The last ice age had large parts* of europe covered in thick ice, this is not the case currently.... Glaciation is receding at record rates... most glaciers globally have shrunken dramatically or completely disappeared in the last 50 years.

The only way the gulf stream can collapse is if the earth suddenly stopped spinning, the AMOC or Athletic Meridional Overturning Current on the other hand could possibly collapse as soon as 2025, wish people would do a bit more research, especially bigger channels.
Here's a tip for adaptation. Move to someplace south of the limits of the Wisconsin (North America) and the Würm (Europe) glaciation. Then develop some skills to deal with the crises that are already upon us.
How high would water levels rise if this happened?
Fill a water bottle halfway and mark the water line, then freeze it and mark the waterline after it’s frozen. Let it melt.
The difference is how much will flood the earth.
@@BitterSong28That is when water is enclosed...in the ocean the ice floats on top....there is a big difference.
Don't listen to all this scaremongering. No one knows really when it will happen. Some scientists like scaring people.
They may not have clarified that properly.
From another comment - In this case the sea level rise would be localized to eastern North America. Due to the current drawing water away from that coast. If the current goes so does that affect. Nothing to do with ice caps except for the trigger.
@@BitterSong28
Except that a lot of ice is above sea level.
Greenland ice sheet is around 3.2 kilometers above sea level.
Antarctic ice sheet is massive.
If all the ice melts the sea will rise around 70 meters.
Hotter water also will contribute to even higher sea levels.
It is all about physics and math.
You missed out?
The Gulf stream may need to collapse to reduce rebalance polar sea ice. Of course this may also put Northern Europe and Canada and Russia into a small ice age but save us from a complete runaway climate if we are so lucky to survive until then.
How would it save the rest of the world from climate change? If the overall climate is warmer but the northern areas are colder then... well, you do the math!
If the Gulf Stream does collapse, the climate deniers will simply point to a cold winter in their own neighbourhood to “prove” that “global warming” as they like to call it, is a hoax/conspiracy.
Europe is experiencing heat waves evey year. This might actually not as bad for Europe as people say it is.
@@theanglo-lithuanian1768It will be bad for Europe. Entire breadbasket regions will be hit hard, affecting food supplies across the region. Millions upon millions of climate refugees will likely poor into Europe too seeking safety from killer heat waves and famines in the Middle East and North Africa, making the current migration crisis look like a joke.
Cooler temperatures is about the only benefit Europe will get. The rest is dire.

Why won’t people just shut down everything that lets hot air in the air
When I was a kid (around year 2000) I heard that gulf stream would disappear by 2015.
Everyone who says this can never actually find a source for it. Also, predictions can be off, doesn't mean they are wrong.
Your anecdotes are worth nothing without backup. Scientists can more reliably tell me how our current climate matches predictions, and they are saying we are exceeding them.
Scientists, as in two specifically. Numerous scientists not directly paid to say so have disputed the techniques used for data modeling.
There’s a few hacks that parrot the crisis promotional narrative blindly.
Actually no one is the credible science world is questioning the models, the methodology or the established data. I have noted though that you attempt to spread lies about climate science in a number of comment streams. If you want to discuss and analyze some of the actual chemistry let me know.
@@kpokpojiji the data modeling that suggests that thermodynamic heat transfers in the hydrological cycle could collapse the global ocean currents and bring about a sudden ice age, using presumptuous data entry combined with a roughly fifty year spread of temperature readings are most certainly being disputed, you pretentious a$$.
@@kpokpojiji was conflating the data projection modeling in question with electrochemical effects in the ionosphere deliberate on your part? Or done out of blind ignorance? You see, one suggests rapid cooling of the planet, while the other suggests warming. But, to the blindly compliant parrots, the climate changing is climate change, and actually assessing the substance of the material verges on apostasy, demonstrating a disturbing lack of faith in the infallible commercial entertainment media apparatus.
@@kpokpojiji furthermore, mentioning my prior comments concerning the general narrative arch of climate science as being lies, suggests you are disputing NASA and NOAA reports and warnings concerning the solar mass ejections, the magnetohydrodynamic plasma storms that resulted in the heating of a significant area of the Pacific Ocean just prior to the heat wave dispersing the energy through the global hydrological cycle.

It was too late 30 years ago.
Wake up people..
Nothing done now will have any effect for decades.
I remember a time when Al Jazeera news couldn't be accessed here in the "West" because we were told they were affiliated with t error ists. So we all had to refer to western news institutes for news of the gulf war . A bit like RT news these days.
Thank you for the daily chuckle
the doomer community clearly says that it is too late, and even if we try to change, there is too much resistance, people wont reduce our economic carrying capacity of their own accord, it will have to just breakdown from the climate system collapse... innovation can help a bunch of us adapt and get through it
Uh, ok.
@@thewafflez_73 Wtf do you not understand?
@@79Bobola unless you’re Uber wealthy, no amount of innovation will help us adapt and get through it. For the 99.99% of the population, it’s a little too late for that.

So WTF do YOU not understand, sweetheart?
I like the cut of your jib supersquatch.

Everyone. I have been researching this for a while now and it is true we may have only a little over a year from now until the shut down of the North Atlantic Current. Or we could have until end of century before it happens. When this occurs there goes our warm climate. We will enter a new ice age. First starting in Northern Canada before making it's way to the Northern states in U.S. Massive winter storms would be needed in order to for ice to form and advance. About 12000 years ago and as we were coming out of a ice age the North Atlantic current shut down putting us right back into a ice age. I wish we had more time.

Scientist are not saying this at all. He never mentions the Gulf Stream he is talking about AMOC. The AMOC and Gulf Stream are different. The Gulf Stream is caused by the earth's rotation so no it won't collapse unless the earth stops turning. You may have talked to a scientist but you like many other outlets added spurious information. You should correct it.
The North Sea windfarm at Doggerbank has distorted an important climate boiler. Changed the heat and mass transfer of the northern end of the Gulf Stream (AMOC). This is the unaccounted for factor.
Thank you for shairing this great infomative video
I scuba dive in the Gulf of Mexico and the equatorial Pacific every year, and in the last 10 years, the water temperature at 60 feet has cooled 6 degrees. That warm water is what drives the ocean currents! Yes, climate change is the cause. But it is global cooling, not warming!
You are sampling temps at two tiny spots on Earth a couple times a year and without considering systems effects. That's not scientific evidence regarding global climate. Climate scientists and marine biologists take millions of measurements, and those measurements prove the Earth is warming on average, and we are warming it quite rapidly. However, that causes hundreds of ripple effects, which could included some places getting unusual cold spells. Indeed, the slowdown of the AMOC would make waters in many places colder than before--but other places the water would be much warmer than before.
As if it were a movie, everyone is anxious for big events due to climate change to begin and, as in the cinema, the exciting parts of the tragedy will soon arrive, do not be impatient...
The earth was and still is warming since the day the ice age was melting over 10,000 years ago
And you still don't understand.
We must at once forbid all news papers, all TV-channels and also of cause all channels at Internet that dont agree with the alarmism.
We all people must TODAY start working against this ”fossil-fuel-world”. Only if we do this we MIGHT have a chance to save the planet.
Global emissions ain't the only problem. All this orbiting, all these expeditions to explore Earth's atmosphere. This is also playing a major role in the change we're experiencing on Earth. And no matter how much money you have, Space should be off limits. Just because you could don't mean you should 😕 ❗Scientist,and Astronauts, should be the ONLY humans exploring. I truly believe ( MY OPINION) that continuing to break Earth's atmosphere is also the reason for climate change.

This half-baked narration confuses the Gulf Stream with the AMOC
A major Atlantic current is at a critical transition point
The Gulf Stream is part of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). We underestimate what experts know and overestimate what we know ourselves.
Mike spewing his halfbaked truth not understanding the connection. 😁
its getting worst and worst unfortunetly
already tip over the tipping point
NOT the Gulf Stream, be accurate, the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), an aspect of the Gulf Stream. Not an insignificant event in itself and certainly worthy of serious concern. But with so many people looking to nit pick and raise doubt... its best to be accurate
The last minute of this interview is downright hilarious.
So it last collapsed 12000 years ago... how much industry and cars etc were around at the time?
It's not the gulf stream, it's the AMOC is in danger. The Gulf stream is the surface part of the AMOC.
