Thanks for this. I'm going to buy some salt from the store and pour it down the drain to prevent people from dying.
@Fax oh, we're spamming links? I can do that too czcams.com/video/dQw4w9WgXcQ/video.html

Too bad it gets filtered by the sewage people.

As someone living in northern Europe your work is apreciated
They should take all the salt from Twitter and put it back into the ocean.
That's too salty
Not to mention no one would miss it
Why are you everywhere
That would turn the ocean into the Dead Sea.
@UCllux1b5jKQPL-HbR7vA0Sw shush you bot
My hypothesis is that all the salt is migrating to CZcams comment sections and in-game chats
I am the most famous man on YouTub! This is not bragging! This is the truth! The truth will set you free, dear shan
@@AxxLAfriku Ah yes, _YouTub_ my favorite website.
Also, yeah, you are the most famous youtuber, because right, MrBeast, Dream, PewDiePie and everyone else with more then 30k Subs is just a figment of my imagination. Also, I looked at your recent comments. You think your an aLpHa MaLe? No, no you aren't. Just please, stop trying to do whatever your doing. Its stupid.

@@Nuuk_Nuke_Nook good point i guess. I won't delete the comment, but I won't comment to him again lol. Although you gotta wonder, what does he gain from those videos he makes lmfao
As an oceanographer, I never thought I’d see the day where someone described thermohaline circulation in a manner that’d make me laugh from enjoyment-thanks for making my day!
Finally, a comment on a super serious topic that isn't a low effort joke. 🙄
This was the worst presentation of the topic I've seen so far. He's not explaining ANYTHING and is instead peppering the video with very unfunny dad jokes - just like you! Why does the sinking of the saltier waters actually drive the current? See? No answer. Typical masculine nonsense devoid of any meaning. SMH

ah yes, putting salt that we got from the ocean in the first place is definitely going to help
Gulf stream: collapses

the stream will never colapse. the salt of the tears of our school kids his depression and anxiety is replacing the Salt content in ocean. stop saying the education system is the worst, they are saving the environment!
hello
"You're all going to die anyways. Anyways, here's our sponsor"
Just drop a couple of COD lobbies in and it'll return back to normal
So dead ocean form all that salt
The ocean would become a sea of salt immediately
The crossbow in mobile is horrible
If we dropped in the Dead by Daylight community it would dry up the entire ocean
That would at least triple the amount of salt in the whole world
“Or if you don't believe in climate change, it's God punishing you for not believing in climate change” 🤣
What if you believe the climate change is real because it is constantly changing but you are dubious/doubtful that humans are having the “huge” impact that is claimed we have because the world has been through many cycles of heating and cooling long before human activity was anywhere near the point it has been post industrial revolution, and for that matter even long before humans were even around to have any impact at all?
@@wolfengod8277 In that case, you have zero sense of scale, to distinguish thousands and hundreds of thousands of years, from a measly few decades.
In that case also, you're ignoring readily available knowledge. I mean, you _can_ believe that all matter is a mixture of the four elements earth, fire, water, and air. The rest of the world has moved on, but you do you.
@@wolfengod8277 Thank you, your opinion will cause hellish death in a few decades. Have fun
@@wolfengod8277 Well, has there been this much carbon waste before?
Edit: Perfect! My plan worked! Now we take the salt from here and put it in the ocean!
I feel like many people forget how large geological timescale is and how little data we really have on it. This is something that's lasted millions upon millions of years. There's been an ice age, such high ocean waters that most of America was under water. We really only understand what happens on a geological timescale of a few hundred years compared to the millions. So being sceptical if it's us or just the path of the earth is hard to tell and measure.
For a few hundred years the earth has been on a warming phase, before large scale industrial revolution. So is the earth naturally heating or is it us.
If you actually read this post fully and if you care for my own opinion, it's the mix of both and the fear of uncertainty. I think there is plenty of contribution that we have added to the heating of the planet, but can we reverse it, that's a huge question. I think leaving less of a footprint would be great overall though and much better for future generations, but at the end of the day if mother nature wants to heat us up for a bit and kill us, then there isn't much we can do. Be the best that we can, and don't believe everything you read, question and challenge what you are told.
nice, I was planning on living that extra decade, but that decision has been made fore me
The decision has been made five you

I'm lowkey mad he didn't use the "current events" at 5:23 as a pun
Me who always accidentally drinks in the Mediterranean sea: I see this as an absolute win!
Wrong water basin. Besides, the Mediterranean will not get less salty due to negative water balance
Great! One more thing to worry about even if I can't do anything about it!

Always glad to see Paul McCartney and George Harrison, especially as representatives of Britain.
Not so glad to hear that Greenland is melting and disrupting the Gulf Stream.

In 1999, one of my fellow students was messuring the cold heart of the Atlantic, so it is nothing new. But, what you are describing is an iceage.
We could use desalination plants in the Sahara to help water parts of it and the brine would make the ocean salter.
Wait until week 8 of the NFL season and you'll have tons of salt from Philadelphia and Pittsburgh
As a Pittsburgher I can confirm this is true
I remember learning about this in middle school.
Love your channel. Sarcastic and witty, and i learn. Thanks!
I tried the salt/led thing and it worked! Turns out you don't even need to drop it in the toilet, you can also drop it off your porch!
One of the main forces behind Gulf Stream is the Earth going around and around, so most likely the stream will not just stop. I rarely see this fact anywhere...
Something else escapable: Sponsor segments with a three minute transition.
The day after tomorrow is a realistic documentary on this exact phenomenon
5:10 "you know what is escapable?"
YES, this message from your sponsor.
Good lord. Was that a wax figure of Al Gore, or the real Al Gore covered in wax?
Want more salt? Add some Warzone players in there. Their sweat is enough to fill in the Pacific Ocean
Sorry to do this just after Mistakes 4, but 10 degrees Celsius is not 18 degrees Fahrenheit. One is above freezing, and the other is below freezing
Lowered by X he said. Not sure on the convertion there.
If that was a joke, sorry for missing it. If not: He means the average temperature might drop BY 10 degrees Celsius or 18 degress Fahrenheit and not that it will drop TO those temperatures.
This mans a comedian and a educator, beautiful video
Feel like this deserves a full video!
So how long would it take to get from the southern portion of the Gulf Stream to the northern portion of the Gulf Stream if you were in a kayak and all of the logistical details were in your favor?
At 2:12 you have the Beatles in Liverpool and idk if that was intentionally and well researched or accidentally accurate

The ocean is doing what my mother could never do.
Are we related? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sooo, you're telling me that Dennis Quaid is going to save the planet. Awesome 👍
Hey, Sam. Good job. I appreciate you.
Wouldn't this effect also help stop the ice caps melting stemming the flood of freshwater into the ocean?
what about desalination plants or harvesting sea salt do those have any affect
Can we have a link to the research in question?
Saw this on Nebula days ago. One of the "odd" things about Nebula is that there's no comment section. Bummer.
Nebula is doing to the internet, what the rest of humanity is doing to the oceans; reducing the saltiness.
@@teemusid lol 😂. That's really good! I'm impressed.
I first learned about this more than a dozen years ago from a documentary called "The Little Ice Age" (back when History Channel was actually worth watching).
I know this is suuuuuper late, but this video is helpful for me since I'm currently studying for an exam in my arctic science course that includes questions about feedback loops like these.
Me dumping salt into the ocean: the environmentalist
Wait wait wait, how is the Gulf Stream filled with less dead fish than the American railroad of which I am very proud of?
Fish in the ocean tend to be alive and fish on trains are usually being taken to a store
Also, dead fish in frozen packages tend to not get eaten by surrounding fish.
Dead fish in the ocean don't stay in the ocean for long.
They quickly move to living fish's bellies...
@@keeganharris186 well yes, but one would figure there would be more dead fish in the ocean, with how much space HAi mentioned. Oh well, I understood why immediately, I was just hoping there was a cooler answer.
@@MrNicoJac yeah, I was just wishing there was a cooler story behind it.
get all the salt from a modern warfare VOICE CHAT
".. in western europe"
savage 😂
It's so warm in the UK right now, I wouldn't mind the gulf stream collapsing.
This one was very well done. Both hilarious 😂 and sad. 😭
"flooding and devastating hurricanes"
Whilest the most upbeat music is playing in the background 😂
I've been hoping for the collapse of the Gulf Stream like I've been praying for California to fall off into the ocean.

I'd love to see you try an actual scouse (liverpool) accent
finaly some good news. everybody please continue pumping dino juice, i need colder europe
I learned about this in high school 20 years ago. I like your version better.
Sam, I took your advice (salted lead weight in toilet) and now my toilet's cracked. My wife is super pissed 😡 Is HAI going to buy me a new toilet? 🙏
1:23 Wait, THAT'S Al Gore, as in Al "the person who invented the internet" Gore?

the stream will never colapse. the salt of the tears of our school kids with depression and anxiety is replacing the Salt content in the ocean.
stop saying the education system is the worst, they are saving the environment (and the lives of people in western europe!)

a proper education system would still save more lives than saving the gulf stream, you underestimate suicide rates

@@Duck-wc9de you said nothing rude and have nothing to apologize for. what makes a joke insensitive is not necessarily the subject matter, but what that joke says. your joke boils down to "the aforementioned school system is detrimental to the health of its students" and that's just a correct take
This is stuff kids in europe learn in school, but murcia is different I guess
Kids in Europe also learn that the Gulf Stream didnt originate in the Gulf Area. Its more of a global Spanning Ocean Stream wich is surfacing in the Caribic due to the higher Temperature
come on, you have to understand::: we absolutely MUST teach the same shit over and over again starting out in a sanitized, abstracted version and finally getting to quality coverage of the topic in junior and senior year! I mean, meteorology and oceanography in school? ludicrous!
I live in the southeast of the uk and we seem to be getting warmer summers and warmer winters, contrary to how the slowing of the gulf current should make it colder? ( if I’m interpreting that right) . Aside from global warming, what could cause this?
My Geography teacher had one of them movie moments where he said “If the Gulf stream starts to fail, we’re dead”
I'm starting to think the only way to solve climate change is to just sacrifice Florida to poseidon in exchange for our oceans going back to normal.
I appreciate the actual picture of Liverpool.
Time to build an iceboat, for when Kattegatt freezes over.

10 degrees colder in Europe sounds like a dream to me. I will gladly take -13 in winter when Summers won't go to 40 ties.
That's not how it works. For norther Europe we would be equatorially equivalent to Canada/ Alaska without the gulf stream, i.e. in parts it wont get warm at all.
So look at Torngat mountains winter averages -14 and summer 4 degrees celsius, thats Scotland's new climate.
@@sacredgeometry I am not from northern, but central Europe.
@@skyrask1948
Central Europe doesn't get 40° summers...
(also, I'm moving in on your couch if the Gulfstream does collapse😁)
@@MrNicoJac 40ties are not super common, but they do happen it is more like 36 - 37 for most of hot days.
I live in central Europe. This will nicely weigh out the warming of our planet, at least where I live. The real issue is that we will have longer dry periods and they will not be local, but across the whole country. On the other hand, there should be more snow in winter, which will melt in the spring, this there will be a build-up of water that will be released in spring. It is vital to catch this water and not let it all drain away.
I'm just going to watch the day after tomorrow when this happens and act like it's a documentary
Just one more reason to keep working on my dream to sail across the Atlantic…while I still can.
