- 93% of excess heat in the atmosphere is absorbed by the ocean, so the earliest impacts of climate change are hidden below the ocean's surface. The Chasing Coral team uses time-lapse photography to reveal the impact this warming is having on coral reefs and the threat it poses to us all.

I saw that documentary and u cried a lot, so I tried to talk with my family and just wanted to show them the reality of the global warming but… anybody cares
I cried
Thanks for capturing this master piece💙😳.
Why don’t we implement CRISPR technology on zooxanthellae . Let’s make them more resistive to temperature and acidification. As much as I love the environment and respect natural evolution I don’t think we will make the essential changes to save the reefs. Let’s create the genetically modified version and release it into the environment. It might be our last hope. I know it may seem radical but we are running out of time.
I absolutely agree with this Idea. Would you be ok if I make a video off of this idea?
maybe because all these, genetics, environmental influences, etc., are not understood well enough for us human to gain control. BUT we can control ourselves, limiting anthropogenic influence is possible and very very effective
Now they are actually doing it. But not with CRISPR, Scientists instead breeding them, to produce supercorals. Two ways to help is to spread the global warming and this video evidence and planting trees or plants in your backyard. 😊
@@kueh-a-tiau I agree so much. The planet is so finely intertwined and complex, and we don't know what sort of engineering we do that will trigger unknown responses elsewhere. To carry out these experiments is criminal, I think, because you can't possibly take the consent of every creature on the planet. We must humble ourselves enough to acknowledge that we should STOP messing with nature, not fix the mess of our messing with nature with more messing. It's incredible how we're ready to do anything, anything, except change our behavior.
@@labemolmineur So you believe that we ought to be able to ask any organism permission before doing any changes? What a world we live in! Last time i checked (and it wasn't that long ago, i'm less than 18), humans are first and foremost supposed to extend empathy and support towards other humans, and the rest is secondary. You want to make criminal what is a core pillar of most societies throughout history, and even today, (for example, we don't ask horses for permission, or dogs). That would make you against the human species, so you you're a threat, at least in my book.
I think its possible to build solar powered water conditioners to take in water, cool it and let it out again. On a huge scale, it could make a difference.
Any one from elkanah see this like it
Ok, so it's a temperature issue, right? Maybe I'm an idiot, but aren't there areas of the ocean that are super cold as well as super hot? If there are hot and cold areas of our oceans, then there should be some sort of gradient between them. If the temperature across the board rises, then maybe a different place nearby that used to be a little too cold will become just right. I'm sure there's more to it and maybe it's not that easy for new coral to form in the new location. But that would fix the issue, wouldn't it? Construct pathways for coral to move along (via whatever form of pollination or reproduction they use) between areas of higher and lower temperatures. As the environment fluctuates, they may be able to populate new areas that become suitable to them. It's not a perfect solution, but we don't live on a perfect planet.
Imagine it like this. If global temperatures rose significantly and you lived in a forest, perhaps it would turn into a desert. If you moved toward the poles, you may find a temperature you are more comfortable with. You would of course have to have reasonable terrain, but that's something we can provide for coral. We've done it by sinking ships and dropping other such junk in the ocean.
If sea levels rise and you find your house underwater, what do you do? Well, cry. It sucks a lot. But when you are done with that, move to higher ground and build a new house. If a city gets wiped out by rising sea levels, guess what? There's brand new beachfront property! The city isn't gone. We just make a new one in the location that has become suitable.
If we don't stop climate change (which is under debate), the solution is implied by it's name. The Climate is Changing. So change with it. You don't have to adjust to different temperatures if you move along with the areas that are the right temperature for you.
It's not that simple. The sea is also becoming more acidic due to carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide causes global warming. So you have to stop global warming.
A lot of fish and other ocean life depend on coral reefs to survive. Coral reefs take thousands of years to grow. They are one of the slowest things to grow. 5mm a year average. So the fish would die before a new coral reef is formed to sustain them. The coral need the fish, to survive. They work together. That is an eco system. Nature working in harming. When one goes. Usually other things go. Imagine it like if bees go. Then there'd be lots of plants go too.
@@amandah5478 Thank you. I didn't know a lot of that. Kinda wish they had explained it in the video.
@@snarlbuckle . Yeah they should have.
snarlbuckle they do, this is a short clip of a full documentary.
It works nothing like that. The destruction of a biosphere is not something that simply shifts the balance. Everything will be affected. The decreased biodiversity creates unstable ecosystems. The ocean, the entire ocean, is reaching its limit for how much carbon it can soak up for us. Melting ice means less reflected sunlight, further increasing global temperatures.
It is nothing short of global collapse.

Limiting global warming to 2 deg. C is unlikely to save most coral reefs.
Could you elaborate on why you think that?
@@Stephanbitterwolf "Limiting global warming to 2 deg. C is unlikely to save most coral reefs."
www.nature.com/articles/nclimate1674
The likely global temperature increase by 2100 is around 3.2°C.
www.nature.com/articles/nclimate3352?foxtrotcallback=true
The title and the abstract is very clear. Limiting global warming to 1.5C above pre-industrial levels will preserve >10% of coral reefs worldwide. Yes, it's utterly appalling and we are watching it happen:

Showing an under surface stone desert does not proof anything, but is an effective way of planting belives into one's brain, that is - deception.
so you clearly didnt watch the video
You need to educate yourself
Its a time lapse, hes showing the same reef and corals but with years appart. Surely you understood that?
@@MrFiskerN Not years apart, barely two months...
