I made a calculation a few years back that the Continental surface area was close to 0.2904 ( 29.04 % ), so the Ocean surface area would be 0.7096 ( 70.96 % ). I suppose it all depends on how deep down the continental slope you go to reference your cut off between Ocean and Land. 70.8 % and 29.2 % is fairly close. 98.245.219.152 (talk) 01:41, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

In the intro is this statement:
By transporting these pollutants from the surface into the deep ocean, this circulation impacts global climate and the uptake and redistribution of pollutants such as carbon dioxide.
Characterizing carbon dioxide as a pollutant is a political statement, not a scientific fact. Any gas could be deemed a pollutant if it is present in excess. CO2, like other naturally-occurring atmospheric gases, is essential to maintaining thermal equilibrium.
- 216.152.18.132 (talk) 20:52, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
- I agree, we don't need to label CO2 as a pollutant in these sentences. The wording can easily be changed and not lose any of the meaning. EMsmile (talk) 21:40, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
- I've now removed the "pollutants such as CO2" and changed it to this (bolding to show what's additional): "Such currents transport massive amounts of water, gases, pollutants and heat to different parts of the world, and from the surface into the deep ocean. All this has impacts on the global climate system." EMsmile (talk) 09:29, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
- Much better phrasing!

Ayo, is nobody going to talk about the tag in Terminology? Wolverine XI (talk to me) 07:41, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
- Do you mean this one: "As a general term, "the ocean" and "the sea" are often interchangeable, although speakers of British English refer to "the sea" in all cases,[1][dubious – discuss] even when the body of water is one of the oceans.". Someone (you?) added as the reason for the dubious tag "The source seems to be specifically referring to use of these terms in the context of the act of swimming, and not in "all cases""
- I'd love to resolve this but I don't know how. I am not a native English speaker. Perhaps we should delete "although speakers of British English refer to "the sea" in all cases", unless we can have a better ref for it. EMsmile (talk) 08:58, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
- @EMsmile: Add what you think is right. Wolverine XI (talk to me) 18:12, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
- Well, I am not sure. I don't live in the UK. What do you think? Should we delete that half sentence? EMsmile (talk) 18:59, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
- Removed. Plus you don't have to live in the UK to edit British-English articles. Wolverine XI (talk to me) 20:01, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
