In Part 3 of "An Inconvenient Truth," the focus is on the oceans and their critical role in climate change. Covering 71% of the Earth's surface and containing 97% of its water, oceans significantly influence climate and weather patterns through atmospheric winds and currents. The Atlantic current, crucial for warming Europe, could trigger an Ice Age if disrupted by ice melt affecting its density. This section raises vital questions about the potential for another shutdown of this current and its severe implications for global climate stability.

This section of the documentary focused on the Oceans and how Global Climate Change will affect them.
The oceans cover 71% of the Earth’s surface and hold 97 % of the Earth’s water. • The oceans have a tremendous influence on both the Earth’s climate and weather patterns. • This is due to the atmospheric wind patterns and ocean currents.
The Atlantic current is of vital interest because it warms the European continent and has thrown the Earth into an Ice Age by stopping. A huge ice melt upset the current’s density causing a shut down of the cold water sinking in the North Atlantic. Could this happen again?
