Shadowing Practice: Why is this one spot not warming? - Learn English Speaking with Video
Ders oluşturuluyor...
1
There is a spot in the ocean where the planet's biggest climate trend seems to break down.
2
Pretty much the whole world has warmed since the pre-industrial era, but not this spot.
3
Scientists call it the cold blob or the North Atlantic warming hole.
4
And the question is what's causing it?
5
Why has this spot escaped global warming?
6
Well, the leading theory is that it's a bad thing.
7
That it's a sign that we humans might might be changing how the ocean moves.
8
Ocean currents in the Atlantic may be on course to collapsing.
9
What happens if those currents do collapse?
10
And how likely is that?
11
To understand what's causing the cold blob and how bad this could get, we're going to visit the sites of seven key discoveries that unlocked the secrets of the ocean.
12
It'll take us 12 Eiffel Towers down below the surface.
13
And when we get back, you probably won't look at the ocean the same way again.
14
You hear that, commenters?
15
We're using Eiffel Towers as a unit, not Empire State Building, even though we're American.
16
So I hope you're happy.
17
Wee wee.
18
We'll start our tour here, where humans first discovered salt-driven currents.
19
This is Turkey, right?
20
This is Turkey.
21
This is the Bosworth Strait.
22
And water here flows from the Black Sea out to the Mediterranean.
23
But a long time ago, local fishermen noticed that when they lower nets off the back of their boat in the direction of the current,
24
sometimes their nets would surface in front of them.
25
So in 1680, a young man visiting from Venice decided to investigate this.
26
His name was Luigi Ferdinando Marsili, and all of the images of him online look like this,
27
but he was really just 21 years old at the time.
28
He put his boat in the middle of the strait
29
and used a weighted rope to show that 10 to 20 meters down, there was a current flowing in the opposite direction of the surface.
30
But why is it doing this?
31
So Marsili collected some of the water from the surface of the strait and some of the water from below, and when he opened up holes between the two sides,
32
the water started moving like it did in the strait.
33
So one current on top, another one underneath, moving the other way.
34
It turned out that the water from the deeper current was saltier.
35
If you look at a salinity map, you can see the Mediterranean there.
36
Wow, it's dramatic.
37
And the Mediterranean is even extra salty.
38
While on the other side we have fresh river water, it's less dense.
39
So why exactly does this difference create a double flow?
40
Um...
41
Yeah, why does it create a double flow?
42
I don't actually understand why that would be.
43
Salty water is just heavier.
44
And when it can't keep pushing downwards, it starts to push sideways.
45
So that difference in pressure creates the double flow that the fishermen observed.
46
Gotcha.
47
And this little waterway was kind of the perfect place for humans to discover that
48
it's not just winds and tides that make water move.
49
Density does too.
50
But this all gets more interesting when we look for it in an ocean that is 50 times deeper. To the ocean!
51
We are jumping ahead 70 years, and this is where we have the first recorded deep sea temperature at this spot.
52
Hmm, temperature.
53
It was taken by a British slave trader on his way to West Africa.
54
And at this point in history, there are huge numbers of ships going across the ocean, carrying enslaved people and the products of their labor.
55
And the navigators have become familiar with the wind-driven surface currents that, you know, speed up or slow down their ships.
56
But they're still oblivious to what's going on down in the deep.
57
until in 1750, this guy drops a bucket with a thermometer down 1,600 meters, pulls it up, and gets a surprising result.
58
Ice-cold water under a hot tropical ocean.
59
Now, it took a few decades before anybody actually understood the significance of this, but eventually, some people proposed that the deep water was cold
60
because it had moved there from the cold parts of the planet, from the poles.
61
One of those people was Benjamin Thompson, also known as Count Rumford.
62
This guy had a wildlife, there's a whole book about it.
63
But this Count Rumford had recently discovered convection currents by accident
64
when he noticed dust particles circulating in a thermometer that was heated by sunlight.
65
What is the best way to understand convection currents?
66
Or why temperature differences can circulate water?
67
Well, it seems like it goes back to density again.
68
If it's expanding, that means it's less dense and that it would rise, whereas heavier stuff would sink.
69
So Rumford reasoned that at the poles, cold water would descend to the bottom of the sea, flow towards the equator, and thereby produce a current at the furface in an opposite direction.
70
So by the 19th century, a picture is forming.
71
Cold water sinks at the poles, rises at the equator.
72
It's elegant, it's symmetrical, but this was not quite right.
73
Ah, dang.
74
They understood that density differences could cause water to circulate.
75
And they understood that salinity and temperature determine density.
76
But you've got to go out and measure the ocean if you want to understand the currents behind the cold blob.
77
Okay, we're going down South America way.
78
Argentina, it appears.
79
This was the starting point for a German expedition in 1925, where they zigzagged across the South Atlantic.
80
Very fun.
81
Actually, it was really slow and repetitive sail a little stop, lower instruments into the deep, haul them back up, write down the data, continue along, stop, do it again.
82
They did that for two years.
83
This was a much more comprehensive survey of the Atlantic than what the British Challenger expedition had done 50 years earlier.
84
And as the data came in from all these expeditions, the understanding of how water flowed between the poles became much more nuanced.
85
Okay, we've got to the left is north with Greenland and Iceland, and then we've got Europe and Africa kind of in the backdrop.
86
Right.
87
And then to the right, it's all the way south with Antarctica.
88
When you mix salt and temperature together, you get fingerprints of water masses, is what they call them.
89
Water masses like...
90
They have like a distinctive salinity and temperature.
91
So you're like, oh, this is definitely Antarctic bottom water.
92
Exactly.
93
Exactly.
94
They have a distinctive mix of those two things that decides how they layer and how they flow through the Atlantic.
95
And a key thing to get here is that these arrows that we see were not currents that anybody directly witnessed.
96
They're inferences that they're making by measuring temperature, salinity, and oxygen.
97
It took another expedition to actually catch the deep current in motion, and they did it right here.
98
Off the coast of the good US of A.
99
So it's the late 1950s and there's a weird sound coming from this spot.
100
It's a 10 kilohertz signal from an aluminum device designed by an oceanographer named John Swallow.
101
And this aluminum tube was very carefully weighed so
102
that it would sink to a specific depth where the density of water was known and stay at that depth.
103
Then they just listened to it.
104
And by doing that, they actually for the first time tracked the motion of a current way below the surface.
105
Okay, how do you go from sound to mapping a current.
106
So they would kind of triangulate its location with these two hydrophones.
107
Gotcha.
108
And they followed along and they realized that it was moving pretty quickly.
109
So at the surface where their boat was, the Gulf Stream is racing north.
110
This is the big wind-driven current that runs along the western Atlantic on the surface.
111
But 2,000 meters down, they saw their floats moving quickly southward.
112
And that confirmed that when water sinks in the North Atlantic, it doesn't just move south as a broad, even sheet.
113
It's concentrated along the western edge of the ocean, near North and South America, and that's because of the spin of the Earth.
114
So, when you put together all of that research, and much more, we get planet Earth's overturning circulation.
115
Wow, this is beautiful.
116
In red, we have the surface currents made of lighter water.
117
They're very influenced by the winds, and the blues are deeper currents.
118
And there are only a couple of places in the world where the surface waters become dense enough to overturn
119
and become deep currents.
120
That happens in the Southern Ocean near Antarctica, and more importantly for us, it happens in the North Atlantic.
121
By sinking there, it helps keep the red surface waters moving north, shaping weather far and wide.
122
We call this system the AMOC.
123
The really special thing about the AMOC is that it's a circulation that crosses the equator, goes from south to north across the Atlantic, right, and actually transports heat,
124
changing the heat balance on the whole globe.
125
If we were to, say, head west from London, we would hit Newfoundland, you would get to Canada.
126
And they have huge extremes in temperatures, don't they, from really, really cold winters to these real extreme summers,
127
where the UK and Europe is a bit more well behaved in in the weather, actually, it's a bit more temperate.
128
And that's due to the ocean and the heat supply from this ocean circulation, this AMOC.
129
That brings us back to the mystery that we started with.
130
Back to the cold blob.
131
Back to the cold blob.
132
If less heat is making it north, that would show up as a cold blob on the surface of the ocean south of Greenland.
133
Right now, we are pushing on this system in two different ways at once, because we learned that both temperature and salinity can change the density of water.
134
We're certainly heating up the atmosphere, which is eventually getting absorbed a lot, that a lot of that extra heat is getting absorbed by the ocean.
135
So you got the temperature going up, but that's also melting a bunch of ice that's on land.
136
And that is entering the ocean and making it less salty.
137
Exactly.
138
And the reason that this gets extra attention is
139
because of the possibility of what they call a nonlinear change or a tipping point.
140
Because the salinity part of the system has a feedback loop.
141
So what's the feedback loop with salt?
142
Well, so the salt is concentrated around the subtropics, and the AMOC pushes that salt north.
143
Gotcha.
144
So as the salinity combines with the colder temperatures, it causes the water to be dense enough to sink.
145
So in the Pacific Ocean, it gets just as cold, but there's no sinking because it's not as salty.
146
Basically, the more fresh water that gets dumped in the North Atlantic, the lighter the surface water gets, So it doesn't sink as easily.
147
And that weakens the circulation, brings less salty water north, and that makes the water even fresher and so on and so on.
148
Exactly.
149
The circulation brings the salt and the salt pushes the circulation.
150
That's why the AMOC, we're worried about it because it's sort of like the AMOC's existence lets it exist.
151
Okay, that doesn't sound too good.
152
Yes.
153
There's this real fear that this feedback loop will send the system past a tipping point where no matter what we do,
154
the circulation becomes much weaker and stays weak for a long time.
155
And we know that this is not just a theoretical possibility because it has happened before.
156
And to show you what I mean, we have to visit the ghost of climates past.
157
All right, so we're heading up to Greenland, and I think that means ice cores.
158
Yep.
159
But really quick, open your Slack because I want to show you a tool that I've been trying out.
160
Sure.
161
Okay, I'm writing this message without typing.
162
I'm just using my voice, which is so much faster.
163
Whoa, instantaneous!
164
Pretty cool, right?
165
So this is Whisperflow, which is the sponsor of this video.
166
It's installed on my laptop, so no matter what application I'm using, I just hold down a hotkey while I'm speaking, and boom, done.
167
And on my phone, I can just choose it as one of the keyboards.
168
What makes it better than the built-in dictation tools is that it is so much smarter.
169
Jump into this Google Doc.
170
This is a list of three things to know about the Severe Droop.
171
What's Severe Droop?
172
And how did it know how to spell Sverdrup?
173
It is the unit of measurement that they use for the strength of the AMOC.
174
It means 1,000 cubic, sorry, it means 1,000,000 cubic meters per second.
175
It was coined because oceanographers were tired of saying 1,000,000 cubic meters per second.
176
It was named after a pioneering Swedish oceanographer named Harald Sverdrup.
177
Um, wait, no, he was Norwegian.
178
I see, so it corrected that from what you originally said to Norwegian.
179
Yeah, it's nice, right?
180
If you want to give this a try, you can get 30 days free of Whisper Flow Pro by using the link in our description.
181
And let's get back to the story.
182
It's the 1960s, and something huge is happening eight meters under the surface of the Greenland Ice Sheet.
183
This is the site of Camp Century, which is an American base that was built into the ice.
184
It had dorms for 200 people.
185
It was all powered by a nuclear reactor.
186
Officially, It was a research station and an engineering experiment.
187
It came out in the 1990s that the US was hoping to station hundreds of nuclear bombs there.
188
That did not work out.
189
But they did do some science that changed how we look at the planet.
190
So for three years, they drilled into the ice sheet and pulled out a core that held 100,000 years of snow.
191
There's a paleoclimatologist named Vili Danskore, an exceptionally stylish Danish scientist.
192
He's got that pipe.
193
He had recently figured out that oxygen atoms in the ice could tell them something about the temperatures throughout history.
194
And so this is the record from the Camp Century Ice Core, and this was a revelation.
195
The y-axis going up and down is the depth of the ice core slash how far back in time we're going?
196
Yes.
197
And then warmer to the right, colder to the left.
198
And it revealed climate changes that were way faster than anyone expected.
199
So not just these orbital cycles over tens of thousands of years, but wild swings over centuries and even decades.
200
So scientists drilled more ice cores in the 80s and 90s and confirmed that indeed the Wiggles were real.
201
It was not an accident of the ice flow.
202
It was not a bad day in someone's laboratory.
203
It was not a mistake.
204
almost the entire Greenland ice sheet has captured these dramatic variations.
205
It was a paradigm shift, really, for scientists' understanding of how fast the climate could change.
206
Right.
207
So what does it have to do with the AMOC?
208
Well, they suspect that the AMOC had something to do with a lot of these swings.
209
Okay.
210
So if we look back at the last 20,000 years, there were these two dips in the air temperature in Greenland.
211
and those line up with dips that they found in records from the bottom of the ocean 4,000 kilometers away.
212
So this is the Bermuda Rise, which is a big bump on the seafloor near that deep current that moves North Atlantic waters south.
213
And it collects sediment about 10 centimeters after a thousand years, which doesn't sound like a lot, but in a lot of other places it's like two centimeters after a thousand years.
214
So for decades, paleo oceanographers have been analyzing core samples from this site.
215
And they're often looking for these guys.
216
Some kind of shells, creature.
217
These are tiny organisms called foraminifera.
218
And they're amazing because they're made of a single cell and a shell.
219
They're a cell and a shell.
220
They are beautiful little shells.
221
And you can see their beauty under a microscope.
222
But they're the size of a small sand grain.
223
As these organisms were building their shells, they were capturing a picture of what the water was like then.
224
Many members of our group are hand-selecting individual specimens using ultra-fine paintbrushes.
225
Ultra-fine.
226
And the researchers found
227
that there was an increase in nutrients in the water near
228
the seafloor around the same time as those dips in temperature that we saw in the Greenland ice core.
229
If you remember from our layer cake of water masses, the Antarctic bottom water, it has more nutrients than the North Atlantic deepwater.
230
Atlantic deepwater.
231
So an increase in nutrients at the Bermuda rise indicates there was a bigger pool of water from the south there,
232
which means that the overturning of the North Atlantic was shallower and weaker during those periods.
233
If the current that's taking cold Arctic water south gets weaker,
234
that allows this southern water from Antarctica to make it further north and reach this Bermuda rise.
235
And so we already have seen that we think the breakdown of this current
236
makes Greenland and that sort of area of the ocean cooler because there's less heat exchange.
237
So it would make sense for the cooling of Greenland to
238
happen at the same time as increased nutrients reaching the Bermuda rise.
239
Yes.
240
And they have several other indicators that point to a shift in the AMOC around those times,
241
Probably as a result of an influx in meltwater that would have lowered the salinity in the North Atlantic.
242
All of those things combine to tell us that the AMOC must have been, certainly was different, and it looks like it was weaker.
243
It seems like this overturning circulation has two or more different states that it can switch between.
244
If it collapsed to a much weaker state, that transition would take about 100 years.
245
So we would have some time to adjust, but we're talking about major shifts in weather and agriculture, on top of all the other changes that are going to come from greenhouse warming.
246
If this were to happen, we would see like a large failure organization of the present day climate, especially northwestern Europe.
247
There the changes can be quite spectacular, and then not in a good sense.
248
Seeing like large-scale cooling, less precipitation, higher sea levels.
249
The location of warmer sea surface temperatures shifts to the south, and this whole tropical rain belt shifts to the south.
250
And basically that means that areas which used to get this rain belt coming in, giving them a lot of rainfall,
251
basically a monsoon, will not have that rain belt coming there anymore because it's moved to the south.
252
So what everyone wants to know is whether we are going to cause the circulation to switch again.
253
And there's good news and bad news.
254
The good news is we have a much better way of measuring it than we used to.
255
If you were scuba diving around this latitude, you might spot a glass ball connected to a very slim cable.
256
And if you follow it down, you'd find a big steel sphere and then dozens of instruments interspersed with more buoys.
257
And finally, a big old weight holding it all down.
258
Oh, wow.
259
It's a buoy that's anchored, but it's anchored 4,000 meters deep.
260
Yeah.
261
And again, we have the Eiffel Tower here for reference.
262
Nice.
263
When you put these moorings out into the ocean you tend to put the top out
264
and you will start say five kilometers away from where you actually want to deploy the mooring
265
and you will slow move the ship along
266
and you will pay it out the wire out
267
and put both the instruments on and slowly slowly deploy it
268
and you basically get to the end maybe a couple of tons of iron, which you then put over the side and then you will release the iron anchor.
269
This is how we monitor the overturning circulation.
270
And if you look at this diagram, you'll notice that the moorings are clustered on the western and eastern sides of this ocean basin.
271
And that's because they're using the density differences between the two sides to calculate the flow between them, just like they used to do with the measurements from the ships.
272
Gotcha.
273
So this array got started in 2004, and as the data came in, it was really surprising.
274
For the first time we actually had a measurement of the strength of this overturning circulation.
275
We found that wasn't only just changes every hour, there were changes every day, the monthly changes and there were seasonal changes.
276
Now we're starting to see actually decadal changes.
277
And you can see there's sort of, if you just squint your eyes, there is a gentle weakening across this entire time period.
278
They just don't know if it's still within the realm of normal variation for this system
279
because all we have is 20 years.
280
They have arrays now that are monitoring the overturning in the north and the south as well.
281
But we're just kind of limited by how short all of these records are.
282
We have to really carry on observing at 26 north, probably around till 2035, even up to 2040.
283
So we can definitely confirm that that signal is actually a weakening signal.
284
But I think for some experts like Stefan Romsdorf, who joined us for our science paper book club earlier this year to talk about this, they think that we shouldn't wait to sound the alarms.
285
We can't predict for sure what's happening, but we have to warn about a substantial risk.
286
If we get to a point where it's definitive that it's going to happen, it feels like by that point it will be very hard for us to do anything about it.
287
Like if there's some definitive, oh yeah, it's definitely collapsing now.
288
It's like, well, that would have been good to know 30 years ago or something like that.
289
Yeah.
290
Which brings us back to the cold blob.
291
These surface temperature measurements where the cold blob shows up are a much longer record than the arrays
292
that we were just talking about.
293
And so a lot of scientists see
294
that blob as sort of the key persistent signal that the overturning circulation is slowing down.
295
But like in the last few years, really, there's been a lot more evidence coming out that
296
the magnitude of the cold blob that we see couldn't really happen without AMOC weakening.
297
It is not like a signal of an AMOC collapse, but mainly of an AMOC weakening.
298
And the more weaker the AMOC gets, the larger this warming hole becomes.
299
The tool that we have to try to figure out what will happen is climate models, which simulate the earth using math.
300
And the bad news is that the models are giving a big range of results.
301
What they agree on is that the circulation will weaken under global warming.
302
Whether it will tip into a collapsed state depends on stabilizing or destabilizing feedbacks that the climate models are not totally capturing.
303
Most climate models, the AMOC is overly stable.
304
So that means it takes like very large amounts of forcing, either the fresh water or climate change, before your AMOC starts to collapse.
305
And usually they are tuned in such a way that they have like a correct AMOC strength compared to observations.
306
So the mean strength of the AMOC is very accurate in most panel models, but during the tuning process, the sensitivity is lost.
307
I think we take for granted that science can make sense of anything with enough observations and experimentation.
308
And the researchers are kind of poking
309
and stretching these models to try to come up with early warning signals of a collapse.
310
But the truth is, we are not going to have a clear forecast on this.
311
I think it's one of those things
312
that we're just at the edge of what we can even
313
conceive in terms of like you go to the beach you
314
look out at the ocean it's the biggest thing you've ever
315
seen I mean it's water as far as the eye can see
316
and you're seeing a tiny little fraction of it
317
so to imagine the swirling chaos that is going on
318
and trying to model it seems I mean I'm amazed
319
that we've gotten this far
320
that we've sort of teased out some of the little signals um
321
but you can't capture all that complexity with our current technology.
322
I want to end our tour on this chart of temperatures from the Greenland Ice Corps.
323
Remember, this shows the past 100,000 years, which means that our species has been around for more than twice as long as this.
324
But how long has farming been around?
325
Or the idea of having a home in one place in a village with lots of people,
326
with predictable food supplies and medicine and technology and science and YouTube videos about science.
327
These things emerged from stability, from this kind of unique stability that we have had during the Holocene.
328
And that's not to say that we are going to go back to those wild swings from the last glacial period.
329
The climate is a very different climate now than it was then.
330
But we are making an experiment of a climate that has been very kind to us.
331
And there's a bit of an expression in the earth sciences that anything that has happened can happen.
332
It's not even the abruptness of tipping, it's the irreversibility, which I think is something that, you know, policymakers or people need to consider.
333
It's the fact that, like, it's not just a little toy to play with, you know, that we could be changing things for generations to come.
334
Thank you so much for watching to the end of the video.

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?
Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
