Beckwith Chats on the Most Significant Climate Research and Findings Over the Last Several Weeks
In this summary video, I wear my Australian hat and comment about what I feel are the most significant climate science findings and work over the last several weeks.
With so many tabs open, my computer was seriously slowing down, so I wanted to delete many of them. The ones I kept open are listed below, some of which I will discuss in more detail in future videos.
Enjoy. Sincerely, Paul and Newton and Sally and Mop (latter two are my ancient cats...)...

How Ongoing Ocean Stratification is Already a Really HUGE Deal and Will Mess Up Our Future Prospects
Ongoing ocean stratification is a HUGE deal, and will worsen greatly as global warming continues unabated.
It will have enormous implications to reduce vertical mixing of water, causing greatly accelerated warming, huge ecosystem kills in the ocean and on land, great reductions in the ocean sink of carbon and heat, huge increases in the numbers and extend of oxygen-dead zones in the ocean, and global havoc to humanity.
I chat about where we are at now, and where we are going. Buckle your seatbelts...

Ocean stratification in a warming climate
Abstract
The ocean is highly stratified. Warm, fresh water sits on top of cold, salty water, influencing vertical oceanic exchange of heat, carbon, oxygen and nutrients. In this Review, we examine observed and projected stratification shifts and their impacts. Changes in ocean temperature and salinity have altered the ocean density field, leading to a 0.8 ± 0.1% dec−1 (90% confidence interval) increase in stratification in the global upper 2,000 m since the 1960s. These increases are most pronounced in the tropics and are primarily temperature driven. Model simulations project ongoing stratification increases in the future, with global 0–2,000 m stratification increasing 0.7 [0.3,1.1; 13–87% confidence interval], 1.4 [0.9,1.8] and 2.9 [2.1,3.8]% dec−1 by 2090–2100 relative to 2010–2020 under Shared Socioeconomic Pathways SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5, respectively; regional patterns of projected stratification changes generally follow observed trends. These observed and projected ocean stratification changes have important climate and ecological consequences, including alterations in ocean heat uptake, ocean currents, vertical mixing, tropical cyclone intensity, marine ecosystems and elevation of marine extremes. Further research should better quantify stratification change at critical layers and understand their drivers and impacts.
