Although exaggerated, the film leaves us with an important message: humans are changing the climate! 🌍
🔍 Interconnected global system:
- The oceans, which cover 71% of the planet, are in constant motion.
- Factors such as winds, the Coriolis effect and tides influence this movement.
- Thermohaline circulation is key in this process.
💡 Gulf Stream and AMOC:
- The Gulf Stream carries warm waters from the Gulf of Mexico to northern Europe.
- Cold, saline water sinks near the Pole, forming the deep water mass of the North Atlantic.
⚠️ Impact of global warming:
- Warming waters melt polar ice, releasing fresh water and weakening currents.
- A weakening of the AMOC can bring colder weather to Europe and more heat to the southern hemisphere.
🌟 Importance of ocean currents:
- They distribute energy, nutrients and gases such as CO2.
- They absorb 25-30% of our CO2 emissions and 90% of excess heat.
