The oceans have been a powerful ally in combating global warming, absorbing nearly 93 percent of the carbon dioxide released by human actions since 1970.
But a mix of higher temperatures and pollutants has created “dead zones” – oxygen-depleted areas measuring tens of thousands of square kilometres, where plants or animals can’t survive.
Al Jazeera’s Paul Rhys reports from Sweden on the Baltic Sea, where scientists have measured the largest dead zone in the world.

i want to like the video for its message but i don’t want to like the video for what it means…
I know exactly what u mean
I liked ur comment tho😉
My God. The problems of living in a modern world. I feel your suffering.
Were you not bombed by Israel?
Supar
This was the first reason the developed world lectured the developing world about organic farming
The developed world screwed the earth
The developed world fought two world war on their soil
The developed world tested countless nuclear weapons
The developed world emitted tons of CFC on Antarctica
And now developed world lecturing others
@Abdiaziz the Great indeed and they gained on it, now they lecturing others.
but maybe its too late.
Actually those death zones are binding carbon… there will be oil in many years… and those death zones are usually in deeper water where there is no light…
Algae blooms are something different, but they also bind a lot of co2…
So no.. it is actually taking up co2, thus stopping global warming
How deathzone cause by algae happen in deep while Algae cant grow without sunlight? Your theory is flawed
@Zee Sorry dude semi paraphrased you,lazy on my part my bad
How can they bind carbon, when there is no organic matter? Plants need oxygen, too xD
Easy… algae blooms, binding carbon from the air… the algae dies and sinks, but because there is no oxygen in the water they wont be dissolved into co2 and water, but only partially… so you get a lot of organic matter on the ground
This is happening also in swamps, that is why it is so bad to dry swamps because then all the organic matter will become co2 and water
Usual death zones work, because in the upper waters there is a lot of life ( like in the black see… if the life dies and wont be eaten in time, it will sink in the death zone, becoming oil like with algae blooms
That way the excess co2 was bound after the decan trap eruption, that marked the end of the Permian period
And that way all the oil is made
@Felix Ры okay, you convinced me! But still, it is a bad sign, because the end of the Permian was a massive extinction event…
India me logo ke paas khane ko nhi modi lockdown lga kr desh ke logo ko bhul gaya
Please go out . The mutant strain is actually very friendly. 🙏🏼
Or midiya bhi modi ke hatho bik gai he isliye chup he
Any scientist claiming to predict the weather in future years should really just stick with the short term. Weather forecasts for the next 24 hours are often wrong.
Weather != Climate, but you knew that (least, I hope you did).
Weather is not climate 🤦🏻♂️
Lord is enough for palastine he is the best of those responsible
Its propaganda, dont watch it.
Why?
@J.-H. M. “climate change lies$”
@Vidar Berg Are you into QAnon?
@J.-H. M. Just go serve youre master little servant. (No, I dont even know what that stuff is…)
This is the latest scare is it?
No end of scare mongering. Close the Paris climate accord and watch everything go back to normality.
You should quit internet if you can’t handle it dude 😂
As you clearly know nothing about ecology you should probably shut up and listen to those who do.
That’s some dedicated reporting
Dude dives
I saw the news just in moment the Al-jazeera tv channel.
Global warming is a stupid myth, scientist are so dumb these days…
I had a trout stream behind my house. They started building subdivisions , the fertilizers and herbicides killed it . Now their isn’t even a salamander alive.
@Sam Peacock
Just do without GMO crops, then there won’t a need for herbicide and fertilizer.
Then flat earth believers, CO2 emitters and global warming campaigner can all rejoice happily merrily together !
@MrThashiznit there’s more than one issue you know
@anjunadeep. not using gmo would in no way mean no fertilizer or pesticide?
@anjunadeep. go without?!?!! But is GMO is feeding the world and you still have to use pest and weed control on organic food. Also sadly organic foods isn’t always better for the environment. Like using flamethrowers for weed control…. Not sure that’s better for environment, maybe for YOU but sadly not the environment.
@Nonya Business not a good analogy
1:28 poor people could have eat that fish
I don’t think the poor should eat rotten fish.
People become poor not because lack of food bruh..
Good story for promoting the climate change movement.
Baltic sea is extremely dirty due to geolocation
This is bullshit, plants can impact these oxygen levels to either increase or decrease them, if you can change the environment of a field you can do the same with the sea. More green edged propaganda to give the guilt addicts their kick for the day.
But plants need oxygen, too xD
Very sad
They can create oxygen
Expensive
@TheRickibobby Well Sweden is Rich
Except that it is cooling NOT warming! Baaa baaa
What?
@J.-H. M. reasearch Grand solar minimum! Be prepared to be shocked
@Sapphire Barnett The warmest year on record was after the last maximum, so maybe the sun isn’t the largest contributor here 😉
Yeah that’s why the Russians aren’t just investing in the artic knowing how much it’s going to change in the next decades, at least they’re smart to know.
I love how he reports the issue.
What issue
I am fed up with such reports…. We know it is modern life style and huge world population causing this death of Mother Nature.. Way back in 1974 the club of Rome published limits of growth. No one bothered…. Now there are some idiots wanting to populate Mars… They all are idiots making idiots the rest of the people. UN and several agencies talk of global warming also our Sir Richard Attenbrough… Look at the idiots who dumped half million DDT barrels off coast of Los Angeles. Where are those idiots now? The white race will never do anything to save this planet.
It’s not warming. It’s chemicals
Many europeans work in this channel. What they do is they humanize reports about their countries to make themselves look good whilst they spew negativity after negativity to non-european countries.
Oxygen not included
While in the oil rich sea based pump keep on contributing to climate change. It is a cycle.
Pig comes in the herd (57 muslim country ) lion comes alone (israel)

@theYellowBrad ?
Delusional f*ck
If u trap heat on earth, why not trap cold on earth?
To oversimplifiy: Heat and cold are just perception of temperature, energy is what is trapped which causes the warming.
@Michael Smith wtf are you saying
@Michael Smith r/ihadastroke
Al Jizeerra ” on the look out for new offices, may come with a small amount of risk for the new landlord “
lol
I may have to steal that.😉
@Vital Signs Spread the news brother!
Risks include but are not limited to, harassment, detention, demolition, airstrikes, drone strikes, forced quarter, invasion, acts of God, and acts of Allah.
😭😭😭😭
i dont care as long as we have dna libraries we can let the rest of life die on earth.
This is terrible… is there any maybe non native plants or fish that like warm climates that could decrease the problem my slowing…humans are terrible we are killing everything
No sharks to bite me 🤞
Al jazeera targets nas daily mc al jazeera
Aljazeera is a polluted channel
Because they are kicking momins out.. 😂.. lame
What is that fish farming or russians lol
I find less and lesser fish even here, in Indonesia. Sad
Dead bottoms is shaped by growing alges-taking up CO2-sinking to the bottom where O2 is scare. Prevents from making CO2 while breaking down.
So more dead bottoms will make CO2 stay there.
Domestic tourists 😂
🥺
# Thanks Al Jazeera for Warning us of hidden things | From Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 © Rima619
Nothing can stop what’s coming. We deserve everything for getting this lazy. Convenience killed our chance at leaving a world for our children’s. We inherited the world from our ancestors and we’re borrowing it from our children.
That’s us doing what we humans do. And it won’t stop until our species’ population drops to less than a billion within a decade or two. Therefore, it will never stop and the oceans will have to die and be reborn into a system that defines current imagination.
THANKS OBAMA
So does that mean that all tropical seas are dead zones?
No.
It means Al Jazeera is a bs climate propaganda channel.
@Pham Nuwen Wow, very delusional :O
ty
If you are looking for a way to help the environment you can use ecosia they are search engine that plants trees
Al Jazeera=terrorist tv.
What an irony!!!
Qatar being world’s highest carbon emitter country is reporting about carbon impact on world!😂😂😂 al jazerra stupidity
Just saw this on an IKEA poster in IKEA (one about a sauna 500m off the beach on a wooden bridge) and I was like 500m away why does the sea look dead? Now that explains.
No worries. Depopulation plan in effect. Jabs 😂😂🤷♂️
The chilly spring caused by global warming did it.
Yep, makes sense. 😜👍
Why don’t you shut up about topics you have no clue about? Regional cooling can happen because of e.g. polar air outbreaks, when the polar vortex is weakened.
@J.-H. M. Yes, yes. I apologize. I shall no longer disrupt this important climate propaganda.
@Pham Nuwen Get help, please.
Moron alert.
Its all coming back to US now.
Can we outlaw fertilizer?
100 years and we already have overconsumption and we’re seeing the consequences, our forefathers knew that the environment was important and that message got lost, sometimes going back to basics and applying new ways will have tremendous change.
Detected multiple leviathan class lifeform ahead.
Are you sure what you’re doing worth it?
Fake news
Terrorist gang Israel
After the Pandemic is over we should install excess and unused oxygen concentrators here.
Making nature dependent on technology is NOT a solution!
This needs much more views.
Necessary and engaged reporting.
What a professional reporter 👌🏻
That is why you spend your vacation on Sweden’s west coast…nice water from open sea
I agree: dedicated reporting there! *heavy sigh* Deeply concerning and a helpless feeling- what I can I do? I’m hoping to be able to commit to a plastic free household someday soon here. Bought a reusable razor…Scary stuff it’s really up to corporations and the elites to stop this or help the cause in a major way. Can only imagine what is being dumped into the ocean everyday that isn’t being reported on. At least Japan was upfront about releasing their treated radioactive water recently.
A place as developed as Sweden… what else haven’t been discovered in the really dirty places then?
F.ex. the total and complete destruction of the Kamchatka area. Allegedly by petroleum pollution.
That must have been on a industrial scale and it didn’t get much attention.
Or the new Chernobyl unfolding, at road constructions near Moscow.
The nuclear submarine wrecks, which there are 6 of, that are now emitting 100x levels.
What else has been kept secret or not been reported on..?
Looking at you India and Bangladesh
France & Other Nations have detonated huge Atomic Bombs under the ocean in various attols… And you blame global warming… Get real … You wonder why huge splits occur in the ocean shelf causing Tsunami’s… And the wealthy powerful nations insist on exploding atom bombs deep in the oceans… Russia, US, France, UK, China, …The poor whales dont have a chance…how irresponsible and criminal are the rich and powerful… ???
😭😭😭 Sweden
Why does the reporter have to hold his junk while reporting?
On land we can now turn desert into florestation. Soon we can do the same in the ocean
The same thing in the gulf of Mexico, the Mediterranean sea, the Chinese yellow river n the Yangtze rivers, Indias Narmada n tapti rivers as well, the Amazon River, humans excell at polluting n killing off life forms!!!!!
