Summary: As well as a thermostat regulating our planet's current climate, scientists believe the Southern Ocean can be a sentinel, an early warning system, of climate tipping points to come. In this video clip, hear about how the ocean is changing, and how a super cold, dense, and salty brine at the bottom drives a global current system called the overturning circulation.
