Ocean waters are constantly on the move, traveling far distances in complex currents that regulate Earth’s climate and weather patterns. How might climate change impact this critical system? Oceanographer Susan Lozier dives into the data, which suggests that ocean overturning may slow as our climate warms — and takes us on board the international effort to track these changes and set us on the right course while we still have time.
Countdown is TED’s global initiative to accelerate solutions to the climate crisis. The goal: to build a better future by cutting greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030, in the race to a zero-carbon world. Get involved at https://countdown.ted.com/sign-up

So climate change is probably even going to take a turn to the worse. I would rather like to be optimistic some day. 😢
Boy there got you guys so scared where all going to catch on fire lol
This is pure gold for insurance companies.
Climate change has nothing to do with CO2 emissions. It has to do with the precession of the earth axis. We are entering the turn around phase (which lasts 300-500 years roughly), so the climate will change regardless of EV"s, or other CO2 reduction technology. Time for people to wake up from this nonsense.
Global wealth is not also mine, so why global problems should be?
The models don't agree on when AMOC Shutdown occurs but at least one qualified scientist indicates 30 years.
I am calmed to hear of our demise
Creative society
softly spoken words of doom
I hope I live to see it actually happen.
8:18 We don't know what is going on but we tell the story that we are told to tell. The politically correct story,.
I know it is important to focus on one problem at a time however: "everything affects everything". Ocean current disruptions are just one symptom of an increase of global warming. Heat transfer disruptions through the atmosphere is also a symptom. Melting permafrost which releases more CO2 and methane in a reinforcing feedback is another. Our global climate system has been stable for thousands of years. If any system in the teleconnections of all climate systems fails it affects them all and the global climate system will become unstable and we will "not" be able to model that.
So warming will cause the overturning to slow in the future even though it isn't currently slowing down with the warming we've already experiencing. The overturning isn't just happening because of the sinking at cold places, it's a whole system which includes the warm parts pushing their way arond the globe, and the warm parts of the cycle will be much warmer and stronger.
Yes, or: Are the changing ocean currents changing the climate? When the sun is the cause of the change, coupled with the weakening of the magnetic field.
Due to the spherical shape of the Earth 🌎, the oceanic thermo-haline circulation will never completely shutdown but rather slow down to the maximum possible extent. It's the same with the Jetstream. The differential heating caused by the Earth's spherical shape is a life saver.
MORE PROGANADA and the same excuse climate change and I wonder if the globalist are paying for her bs
The Exxons and BPs of the world will come and go but to you politicians I say your treachery to mankind will remain.
NO. She lost me at 2100. That's a fucking LIE. 🔥🌎🔥
– We live in the same climate as it was 5 million years ago –
I have an explanation regarding the cause of the climate change and global warming, it is the travel of the universe to the deep past since May 10, 2010.
Each day starting May 10, 2010 takes us one thousand years to the past of the universe.
Today, April 07, 2024, the state of our universe is the same as it was 5 million and 81 thousand years ago.
On october 13, 2026 the state of our universe will be at the point 6 million years in the past.
On june 04, 2051 the state of our universe will be at the point 15 million in the past.
On june 28, 2092 the state of our universe will be at the point 30 million years in the past.
On april 02, 2147 the state of our universe will be at the point 50 million years in the past.
Mohamed BOUHAMIDA.
Everyone in the room including her flew there in a carbon spewing jet to hear her talk about climate change. Is it irony or hypocrisy?
Aliens have never visited earth because there is no intelligent life here. How absolutely stupid are we. We are monitoring our own doom and doing nothing about it.
This is not even sane.
The Moon keeps the Planet in a 23.4 degree tilt, this is the reason for Warming and World Wide Forest Fires that burn Pine Needles and Grass Seeds
More scare tactics to make sure that no one can see the real inequities of society. "WAG THE DOG." Also, you show the data and admit it shows no slowing at all. Do you think we're stupid?
Who is she?
Ridiculous nonsense.

Tempetsure
Perhaps we should be looking at underground accomodations.
Maybe the NUCLEAR waste and explosions in the ocean has caused radioactive molecules to heat up the ocean unnaturally!!!
This is gcse science… Really basic.
NASA figures show the world is 15% greener than 20 years ago. Hardly surprising when commercial greenhouse farmers use over 1000 ppm of CO2. How can and increase in CO2 be bad when it benefits all plants and animal life while making the earth wetter and greener?
Make sure u reuse ur plastic kids lol
Still have questions? Consider Project Drawdown's Climate Solutions 101 & Roadmap, and understand nothing succeeds until governments cut back on issuing fossil trade licenses.
THE CLIMATE-CHANGER GOD-ROCK. Knows When & Where & Why Climate Changed…….
THE PLANET HAS A 50 YEAR CYCLE. 1ST THE EARTH STAYS CLOSED FOR 25 YEARS 1985 TO 2011 THEN AFTER RETAINING 30.000 TONS OF SURFACE WATER. AND THAT HEATS UP THE EARTH AND THEN THERE ARE TWO SEISMIC SHIFTS 1. 2012 THE EARTH STARTS TO EXPAND THE TECTONIC PLATES ALL AROUND THE ENTIRE WORLD. .
.SMALL PATES IN ALL OCEANS AND LARGE PLATES ON LAND ON ALL CONTINENTS. AND THEY ARE ALL HEATED WITH LAVA FLOWING Through THEM. CAUSING OCEANS TO WARM UP 2024 TO 2035 FREEZING COLD SNOWY WINTERS TO SHRINK THE TECTONIC PLATES AND THAT WILL CLOSE UP THE EARTH. FOR THE NEXT 25 YEARS 2060 NEXT ONE HAPPENS =EVERY 50. YEARS ITS A CYCLE
LOL, just like when scientists about 15 years ago first started saying "A warmer atmosphere holds more moisture, which results in storms dumping more precipitation that can have deadly or destructive results. For every 1 degree Celsius (1.8 degrees Fahrenheit) that the atmosphere warms, it holds approximately 7% more moisture." …. what a bunch of croak! Ohhh, WAIT! …. what?, it has come TRUE! There's now catastrophic flooding occurring in very rapid succession in one place after the other, deny it or not, it's happening! The earth is a very precise mechanism that operates within a very narrow spectrum of "normal range", have this altered and things happen, just as with the flooding! You can always be in denial, and even when dramatic change is upon us, there will always be dumb deniers!
