What if Sea Levels Rise by 10 Meters?

如果海平面上升 10 米會怎樣？

Don't worry.

別擔心

AumSum will save everybody.

AumSum 將拯救所有人。

Oh AumSum.

哦，奧姆森。

Firstly, some people hate swimming.

首先，有些人討厭游泳。

If sea levels rise by 10 meters, they will definitely leave for a different planet.

如果海平面上升 10 米，他們肯定會離開，去另一個星球。

Secondly, if sea levels rise by 10 meters, we may have to get used to living with whales.

其次，如果海平面上升 10 米，我們可能不得不習慣與鯨魚共處。

Thirdly, if sea levels rise by 10 meters.

第三，如果海平面上升 10 米。

People who just bought a beachfront property may leave for a different planet.

剛買了海濱房產的人可能會離開，去往另一個星球。

Fourthly, if sea levels rise by 10 meters, a lot of land may get lost.

第四，如果海平面上升 10 米，大量土地可能會消失。

High-rise buildings may get extremely overcrowded.

高層建築可能會變得異常擁擠。

Fifthly, if sea levels rise by 10 meters.

第五，如果海平面上升 10 米。

We may start finding a lot of weird sea creatures popping up inside our living room.

我們可能會發現很多奇怪的海洋生物出現在我們的客廳裡。

Lastly, if sea levels rise by 10 meters, surfers will be overjoyed.

最後，如果海平面上升 10 米，衝浪者將欣喜若狂。

They may start surfing inside their homes.

他們可能會開始在家裡衝浪。

So AumSum, on an average, seawater has salinity of about 3.5%.

是以，AumSum 的海水平均含鹽量約為 3.5%。

When we drink seawater, water as well as excess salt get absorbed in our blood.

當我們喝海水時，血液中會吸收水分和多餘的鹽分。

One of the functions of our kidneys is to remove this excess salt from our blood.

腎臟的功能之一就是從血液中清除多餘的鹽分。

But urine produced by kidneys has a salt concentration which is less than 3.5% of that of seawater.

但腎臟產生的尿液中的鹽濃度不到海水的 3.5%。

Hence it needs more water to remove all the excess salt.

是以，它需要更多的水來去除所有多餘的鹽分。

As a result, we feel thirsty after drinking seawater.

是以，我們在飲用海水後會感到口渴。

Excess seawater consumption can lead to dehydration.

過量飲用海水會導致脫水。

Secondly, excess drinking of seawater will also hinder the blood purifying process of our kidneys.

其次，過量飲用海水還會阻礙腎臟的血液淨化過程。

How?

怎麼做？

Because solid concentration inside the filtering units of our kidneys.

因為固體濃縮在我們腎臟的過濾單元內。

Will be lower than that of the highly saline blood.

將低於高鹽度血液的濃度。

Hence, due to osmosis, blood doesn't get purified.

是以，由於滲透作用，血液無法得到淨化。

What if all the seawater becomes freshwater?

如果所有海水都變成淡水呢？

No.

不

What if all the seawater becomes chocolate milkshake?

如果海水都變成了巧克力奶昔怎麼辦？

Oh.

哦。

Listen.

聽著

First of all, the biggest advantage will be that it will solve the water crisis all over the world.

首先，它最大的優勢是可以解決全世界的水危機。

However, there will be quite a number of disadvantages.

不過，缺點也不少。

Firstly, most of the fishes will die.

首先，大部分魚類會死亡。

Why?

為什麼？

In freshwater, due to a process called osmosis.

在淡水中，由於一種叫做滲透的過程。

The cells of the fishes will swell up, thus eventually killing them.

魚的細胞會膨脹，最終導致死亡。

Secondly, experts believe that tiny organisms called zooplankton and phytoplankton.

其次，專家們認為，微小生物被稱為浮游動物和浮游植物。

Which are critical to the marine life food chain, will die off.

這些對海洋生物食物鏈至關重要的生物將死亡。

Leading to mass extinction of marine life.

導致海洋生物大規模滅絕。

In addition to this, phytoplankton produce half of the world's oxygen via photosynthesis.

此外，浮游植物通過光合作用產生了全球一半的氧氣。

Without them, there would be far less oxygen available for us to breathe.

沒有它們，可供我們呼吸的氧氣就會大大減少。

Lastly, experts believe that salt in the seawater has a major impact on ocean currents.

最後，專家們認為海水中的鹽分對洋流有重大影響。

Which in turn influence our climate.

這反過來又影響了我們的氣候。

However, as more research is required.

不過，還需要進行更多的研究。

Experts don't exactly know what will happen if all the seawater becomes freshwater.

專家們並不確切知道，如果所有海水都變成淡水，會發生什麼情況。
