#VideoDescription (minor edits have been made by me)
"""Arctic Sea ice reaches it's minimum extent each year around the middle of September. This year is one of the lowest in recorded history. Ocean temperatures have been so 'off the charts' in 2023 and 2024 that scientists fear those waters have reached their capacity to mop up after us humans and are now starting to release that energy. On our current trajectory, by 2100, our planet will reach a temperature not seen for 3 MILLION years!. So...what's the plan???

"...*the vertical ocean circulation has slowed*."
And with this sentence, we can circle back to my starting point: are we being told the full story?
Yes, #GlobalWarming on the continents and in the seas, with the disappearance of #Permafrost and the #IceSheet is bad enough, it would seem.
However, a further fundamental questions arises from my non-natural scientist perspective, looking at the next two pictures:
the #ThermohalineCirculation is essential for sea life:...
