How do oceans prevent our planet from becoming a fiery wasteland? Find out in this captivating episode of Talking Climate Change with Yash Negi, where I uncover the pivotal role oceans play in regulating Earth's climate. You'll learn how these vast bodies of water absorb 90% of the excess heat from human-induced greenhouse gas emissions and the vital processes involved in the global carbon cycle. Discover the intricacies of the solubility pump and the biological pump, both critical in sequestering CO2 and supporting marine ecosystems.
But the story doesn't end there. I'll also explore how ocean currents like the Gulf Stream and the Antarctic Circumpolar Current redistribute heat from the equator to the poles, balancing temperatures and influencing global weather patterns. Learn about the changes in sea levels, ocean circulation, and the populations of essential marine species like phytoplankton, caused by rising global temperatures. Despite their monumental importance, oceans have been overlooked in climate discussions—tune in to understand why they must be at the forefront of our fight against climate change.
