The Growing Problem of Plastic Pollution, Part 1 of 2

Since the mid-1900s, humans have relied on plastic for a wide variety of uses. It’s cheap, versatile, lightweight, highly resilient, and can be used in many ways in everyday life. However, plastic has one major drawback: once manufactured, it does not decompose for approximately 1,000 years. The United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) states that during the early 2000s, more plastic waste was ge

United Nations Reports: It’s Now or Never to Stop Climate Change, Part 2 of 2

The Report states that “human-induced climate change is widespread, rapid, and intensifying.” Global temperatures are at the high end of what modellers had earlier predicted and are increasing more rapidly than estimated. Thus, the IPCC is calling for immediate and drastic cuts to greenhouse gas emissions, stating, “Limiting warming to around 1.5°C (2.7°F) requires global greenhouse gas emissions

On April 4, 2022, the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released the third installment of its comprehensive Sixth Assessment Report (AR6). The April report provided updated information on global warming and global greenhouse gas emissions, as well as on the current progress in emission-mitigation efforts. And the results are alarming. The report shows that between 201

Earth Overshoot Day

The concept of “Earth Overshoot Day” was initiated by Andrew Simms while working at the UK think tank New Economics Foundation. On today's program we’ll explore what Earth Overshoot Day is and why we need to care about it.“Earth Overshoot Day is central to the science of sustainability. It’s when our demand for natural resources exceeds supply. It’s calculated by dividing the amount of natural res

On today’s program we’ll learn that regenerative farming could play an even more critical role. Many scientists now estimate that we could reduce or even halt climate change by regenerating the planet's soil. Healthy soil has an immense capacity to sequester and store carbon. In fact, it’s estimated that Earth’s soil contains three times more carbon than the atmosphere.Conventional farming, with i

Soil is one of the foundations of life on Earth, and a key part of our global food system. Healthy soil produces nutritious food, absorbs rainwater, minimizes flooding, and reduces erosion. Soil also holds and filters water, purifying rivers and streams. In addition, healthy soil can sequester vast amounts of CO2. Healthy soil teems with life forms, including bacteria, fungi, protozoa, algae, nema

The oceans are known as the heart of our blue planet because their water covers more than two-thirds of the earth’s surface, and is responsible for producing 70% of the oxygen in our atmosphere. A close connection exists between climate change and the ocean. Marine ecosystems are saltwater environments defined by their unique biotic factors such as plants, people of the marine kingdom, and microbe

The increasing intensity of hurricanes, also known as typhoons or tropical cyclones, is the result of rising global temperatures caused by human-made greenhouse gas emissions. These storms are becoming more severe and destructive. Scientists tell us that as the Atlantic Ocean continues to warm, the changes in its surface temperature are fueling extreme storm activity.Dr. James P. Kossin, a climate

In 2018, research on abrupt thawing that occurred under arctic lakes, known as thermokarst lakes, was led by Professor Katey Anthony. They discovered that the abrupt thawing of permafrost increased the release of ancient carbon stored in the soil by “125 to 190 percent compared to gradual thawing alone.” She warned that “by the middle to end of the century, the permafrost-carbon feedback should be

Permafrost covers are widespread in the Arctic regions of Siberia, Canada, Greenland, and Alaska. They play a vital role in stabilizing the planet’s climate by functioning as a cover that seals in gas hydrates, which are crystalline solids containing huge amounts of carbon-based elements. It’s worrying that the rapid melting of permafrost, caused by high temperatures, can lead to dramatic changes
