Computer models of climate change have long predicted that the ocean would turn green as a result of warming. But the change can't be seen by the human eye, so scientists weren't sure how they'd measure this effect... until it turned out NASA's MODIS-Aqua satellite had the goods all along.

“Under a Green Sky” by Peter Ward, 2007. Studying the Permian mass extinction he realized that some point the seas got so warm and the algae got so thick in the world’s waters that the skies turned green as a reflection off the earths surface. This is the same algae and plant matter, feeding on an excess of CO2, which was turned into coal and oil that we have been burning for energy these last 200 years. We have released a large portion of that original over abundance of CO2 back into the atmosphere risking a return to those conditions of the Permian.

Last week we had a certain wind condition on the western Baltic coast, that forces water from deeper levels to the surface. This water is almost oxygen free and a lot of fish did die. Every year, the Baltic Sea gets warmer, the oxygen free deep water reaches higher in the water column and the fish population declines.

A similar thing happens in Mobile bay where all the fish and crabs come to the shore in a daze looking for oxygen. Its celebrated by the locals who call it a jubilee. It only happens at night for whatever reason, so you can see tons of flashlights all down the beach where people go and take the crabs for eating. Literally tons of crabs for the taking. It happens at least once a year usually multiple times. They have bells to alert the other locals that a jubilee is taking place

@kylarirons2236 8 месяцев назад

But it's also transparent. You only see the blue color when there's a lot of water on one place. You might think that's irrelevant, but think about this: Most mirrors are slightly green, and if you put a pair face-to-face you can see the tint get stronger as they repeat. Yet, we don't call mirrors (or, I guess, glass) green.

while true, a distinction can be useful. no one would say that a glass of water is blue. The sky is blue, but the air is not.

@eyesofthecervino3366 8 месяцев назад

Replying to the replies to your comment, my apologies, but the distinction is that water is a very faint transparent blue. In small quantities it makes sense to call it clear, but I don't think it ever makes sense to look at it in quantities where it's obviously blue and try to make an arbitrary distinction as to why that doesn't count as blue. It's a side effect of science journalism, I suspect, that too often people try to use super technical terminology and unnecessarily complicate things to make some cool "plot twist" about everyone being technically wrong about something, and I think I'm getting too old and tired for it. The mark of a teacher is supposed to be making things easier to understand, not deliberately obfuscating them to make yourself sound smart.

@catpoke9557 8 месяцев назад

@@eyesofthecervino3366 Generally the people who make the 'plot twist' aren't even correct. I've seen it all too often for people to assume anything that is a popular belief is just a wive's tale, causing them to say something to the contrary believing it makes them correct. Things like "Blue jays aren't blue," "the sky isn't blue," and "the ocean isn't blue" are very common. It stems from a misunderstanding of what color is. They don't realize that just because blue jays don't have blue pigment, just because the sky is clear at night, and just because water is clear in small quantities, doesn't make any of these things not blue. Color is dependent ENTIRELY on the wavelength of the light hitting your eye. If something reflects a certain wavelength, then it IS that color, no matter the reason why. The sky is clear at night because there's no light to reveal its color to begin with. The ocean is clear in small amounts because the color of water is incredibly subtle. Blue jays are blue not because of pigment, but because their feathers are the right structure to reflect blue light. They are all still BLUE. And it's not just color people do this with. Things like "It's not a whale, it's a dolphin" in reference to orcas. Meanwhile dolphins are actually a type of whale. Biology is riddled with things like this. To name a few 'misconceptions' people commonly have that are actually CORRECT, here's a list of a few that I see a lot which irk me to no end. "It's not a frog, it's a toad." "It's not a monkey, it's an ape." "It's not a deer, it's a moose." "It's not a turtle, it's a tortoise." ...so on and so forth. All of these corrections are completely unnecessary because they are only half true. Yes, it is a toad. It is an ape. It is a moose. It is a tortoise. It's also a frog, a monkey, a deer, and a turtle. If they went beyond a pop science article in their google searches they'd know this. But some people just want to be different rather than correct.

There's a lot of possibilities. It should be a loss of fish in the ocean so there's less animals eating the plankton. Or it's literally floating moss, which also could be a problem with a lessening fish population. Or just chemicals still being poured into the ocean by all sorts of sources.

@juliaspoonie3627 8 месяцев назад

I‘ve recently watched a deep-dive into the topic and read a few scientific articles. The type of algae/plankton which makes the water appear green thrives under the changing circumstances like the ocean acidification, the warmer surface and middle layer water. The greenhouse warming effects aren’t just leading to warmer surface water but the microorganisms are exposed to an increased visible and UV radiation and a lack of nutrients. At the same time the numbers of dissolved Oxygen decreases. They don’t seem to be bothered by the increase of CO2 too much either. But other microorganisms and living organisms die under these circumstances. From my understanding it’s not so much that there are less animals eating this type of plankton but that it’s the only one thriving under the effects of climate change. But obviously all factors will have an effect on each other.

@brennaweaver3974 8 месяцев назад

Maybe I've been watching too much mortician content lately, but could it also in part have to do with decomposition? As in, if the fish and other wildlife are dying faster, and there's other types of organic matter in the ocean decaying on a larger scale than in the past, could that add to the problem and add to the green tint in the water?

This demonstrates a change, but not mechanisms. 1. Many types of phytoplankton reflect browns, cyans, or reds, maybe those are declining. At best,the ratios of phytoplankton pigments are apparently changing along with concentration. 2. Ratios of several wavelengths are needed to distinguish plant species in remote sensing, including ocean algae. This is not even chlorophyll, where 3 transmitted wavelengths are used, or fluorescence where 4 wavelengths help identify algae groups, but one is typically used making species specific combinations of fluorescent carotenoid pigments both a blessing and a curse. Yes, science gets complicated.

Algal blooms can cause eutrophication, an over abundance of nutrients such a phosphorus and nitrogen, which causes problems. Bacteria feed on the decaying algae and consume oxygen in the process, which leads to a loss of oxygen that can be detrimental to fish species that depend on higher oxygen levels. Certain algae also produce toxins, which can kill fish. Algae is also able to outcompete coral, which leads to further coral bleaching which reduces habitat for coral-dependent species. Overall increases in algae have many impacts that are bad for the earth and its ecosystems.

@urbancarlson7642 5 месяцев назад

@@happynapkins8185 Yes, you are right that algal blooms can cause problems in certain situations but this does not apply to the Desert Oceans where the problem is not overproduction, but lack of algal production leading to marine desertification.

So genuinely asking here. If phytoplankton make up the base of the food chain, why would having more of them be a bad thing necessarily? I understand that it’s indicative of climate change which is bad in of itself of course. But it strikes me as the phytoplankton acting as a counterbalance to help reduce the over abundance of CO2. Could someone fill me on what I’m missing? For what reasons is more phytoplankton a bad thing?

@vsssa1845 8 месяцев назад

answer to your question is likely 2 comments below, pasting here “Under a Green Sky” by Peter Ward, 2007. Studying the Permian mass extinction he realized that some point the seas got so warm and the algae got so thick in the world’s waters that the skies turned green as a reflection off the earths surface. This is the same algae and plant matter, feeding on an excess of CO2, which was turned into coal and oil that we have been burning for energy these last 200 years. We have released a large portion of that original over abundance of CO2 back into the atmosphere risking a return to those conditions of the Permian."

@AvenueEmpire 8 месяцев назад

Not a climate scientist, but I am a biologist. My interpretation is that the greening of the ocean is a proxy of the change in ocean ecosystems. We don't have the data to show demonstrably what's causing this, making it difficult to make predictions why the green itself is inherently bad, it's more of a side effect of other things going on. One of the more likely explanations has to do with warmer ocean temperature. Why is this bad? It's worrisome because changes in the deep ocean currents would have a catastrophic impact on the global weather system. For example, despite England having similiar latitudes as very cold portions of Canada, it has moderate weather, solely because of the ocean current bringing in warm water from the gulf of Mexico. If that current changed direction, then it would set off a domino effect of changing weather patterns globally until the current reestablished some sort of equilibrium or new path. If you'd like more information, there's a ton of info about Thermohaline circulation (Deep Ocean currents) on Google scholar. All of these deap ocean currents are established because of water temperature and salinity (more glacier melt changes the salinity).

@AvenueEmpire 8 месяцев назад

It should be noted, there was a movie about these ocean currents changing, its pretty ridiculous and highly sensationalized (like any movie) called "the day after tomorrow.". The problem they adress is real, but what they say happens as a result is pretty laughable it's very over the top.

@AvenueEmpire 8 месяцев назад

Also, regarding phytoplankton acting as a balance for CO2. No, unfortunately not. Tree's for example, might suck up CO2 and use it to grow, but when they die it's all released right back to the atmosphere. Same idea here, the net change will be zero. Getting that carbon out of the atmosphere, took millions of years and involved going very far below the ground.

When it comes to climate change everything is bad, even when it's good in other subjects. Have you never noticed that when you research a subject from a non climate change perspective, that you get all the old information that you knew and trusted from the olden days. Climate change oriented material generally takes exactly the same information and twists it to prove that we are all evil. What I find amusing is when a TV program unwittingly reveals the old traditional perspective and has to explain it in a non climate change way, but at the end of the program has to throw in a few minutes of climate change bs to prove their loyalty to the cause. However, they already shot themselves in the foot earlier on in the program by explaining that the process, whatever it may be, actually works in a way normally "debunked" by climate crusaders.

I'm an Amateur historian of the WW2 years, some areas of out oceans the bottom is littered with military ships, all over the oceans, what does all that iron in the form of Steel do for the water's Iron content.

@Chad_Thundercock 8 месяцев назад

I'm no metallurgy major, but I'd assume very little, as the iron is already tightly bound chemically to other metals that form the steel. And that steel was engineered to resist rust, so probably won't release that iron for a long time. Edit - plus the actual amount of steel and iron in those wrecks are only a drop in the proverbial ocean, as the ocean is really big and those ships are really not big.

@golddragonette7795 8 месяцев назад

It is actually only the surface water that is lacking iron. Algae and cyanobacteria need trace amounts of iron to be able to reproduce and in some areas this cause marine desertification. If you would sprinkle iron dust on the surface you would create algal blooms and if you would do it over time you would get a vital ecosystem since algae and cyanobacteria form the base of the marine food web. There has been a few experiment with this type of fertilization and there has been an increase in marine life but not as much as anticipated and now further experiments have been banned since this kind of fertilization is classified as marine dumping which is forbidden according to the London protocol.

As long as the levels of plankton rise enough to keep storing the carbon and as long as the carbon is not strewn into the atmosphere faster than can be absorbed by the ocean for the plankton to consume, etc. the balance will continue along this cycle. Reducing carbon emissions is not specifically a bad idea but I have faith that the planet will endure regardless. It was here before us and will be here after us. It is us that we have to worry about. Soooo.. as long as we keep it within tolerable limits for human life then we will be fine.

This could also mean that the distrubution of phytoplankon changes, meaning some fishuries collapse, which is bad ecologically generally and economically for any fishing communities. And though phytoplankton do sequester a lot of CO2 from the atmoshere when they die and sink to the ocean bottom, that is really only going to slow warming and not stop it. It hasn't stopped it yet and phytoplankton blooms can be grow huge a short amount of time. There are limiting factors at play which stops them just gobbling up all that excess CO2. Climate change is such a tangle of feedback loops there is no simple answer. Then you start adding food chains and the like to the mix because you've strayed into biology and it gets very complex very fast.
