Secrets of the Ocean: Climate Control | Free Documentary Nature
ABOUT MOVIE
When it comes to regulating global temperatures, forget the Amazon Rainforest. It’s the oceans that really deserve the title of lungs of the planet. Their plankton provides us with oxygen. Their currents transport heat from the tropical regions to the poles, acting as an air conditioner. They absorb almost a quarter of the carbon dioxide emitted annually.
But, so much of what they do and exactly how they do it is still unknown. To gain a deeper understanding of the importance of oceans in regulating our climate, we bring you four stories from four different corners of the world. From the seaborne lives of the Bajaus of Asia to the scientific crew of the ‘Tara’ in Greenland. From the meteorological station in Siberia to the fishermen of the gulf- stream. Four people. Four seasons, Four stories told in parallel over 24 hours that reveal the sometimes invisible ties between man and the Sea.

Victor silver..(the man fishing for squid) so much wisdom in him.. i hate how these things r affecting him and his family so negatively.. his voice should b heard.. just like all of them.. the negative ways in which we have affected or planet makes me so sad inside.. we should push harder for changes.. this is the only place we have.. we cant go anywhere else.. even if we could, we shouldn’t.. cuz then we’d just screw it all up too.. nothing gets n the way of progress
What a beautiful video!! Thank you!!
At 29:30 Victor thinking of generations yet to be, that he’ll never look upon. Again at around 47:00 he expresses his concern for the future and how he is displeased with the damage that some attitudes and activities have caused. Why is that so hard for so many policymakers?
How can people complain about ads after watching how poor people live? That man looks emaciated. Jeez.
All nature videos have tons of ads,but they are the most beautiful videos. The videos are free. You can find documentaries about families in poor places with no running water and children at age 6 have to row a canoe (that they made themselves) for two hours to school and two hours back. They have to set up traps for food on their way and have to practice swimming in 15 degree waters before school. If it rains, theyre screwed.
I like this but some of these videos are just too depressing.
