Climate’s Heart Metaphor: The Ocean as the Climate's Cardiorespiratory System

Home: Trieste, Italy

Just as the heart regulates the flow of blood throughout your body, the ocean regulates the climate system by controlling the circulation. As our hearts, the ocean is susceptible to damage. Ocean health requires proper care. The Climate’s Heart Metaphor will convey to the public a basis for understanding both, the centrality of oceans in the climate system, and its vulnerability to damage as well.
