Mangroves: Protecting our Coasts and Sheltering the Local Inhabitants

Did you know that Earth is home to a special type of tree known as the Mangrove? Mangroves play an important role in their natural surroundings by protecting the health and welfare of various types of animal-people and coastal communities worldwide. Apart from helping to enrich and protect ecosystems, mangroves are also known for aiding in the quest to combat climate change. Without mangroves, coa

Rising Sea Levels: A Threat to All Life on Earth, Part 2 of 2

The United Nations states that rising seas threaten 90 percent of the world’s megacities. In addition, approximately 40 percent of the world’s population lives within 100 km of the coast. As a result, hundreds of millions of people could be forced to flee their homes by 2050. Let’s now visit Bangladesh, one of the world’s most densely populated countries, where approximately 35 million citizens li

Rising Sea Levels: A Threat to All Life on Earth, Part 1 of 2

Since record-keeping began in the 1800s, the Earth’s average global sea level has consistently risen. Between the 1900s and the 2000s, the sea rose very slowly, an average of only 1.4 mm/year. However, between 2006 and 2015, the rate began accelerating, and now sea levels are rising more than twice as fast as before.Rising sea levels threaten many essential coastal infrastructures, including roads

Food Crops at Risk of Extinction Due to Global Warming, Part 2 of 2

GHG emissions fuel climate change, which in turn causes extreme weather events and droughts to become more frequent and intense. These intense conditions are causing agricultural challenges for farmers, affecting food trade markets, and producing food scarcity crises. Many climate scientists are raising the alarm that due to climate change many food items may someday be literally wiped off of Plan

On today’s show, we’ll examine how food production and consumption play a major role in emitting GHGs and how this process affects our precious planet Earth.Various scientific studies have found that high levels of GHGs are emitted at every stage of the animal-people meat production process, resulting in a massive carbon footprint for every piece of animal-people flesh consumed. However, something

Forever Chemicals: What They Are and How They Affect Our Planet

Forever chemicals, scientifically known as per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances or PFAS, were introduced in the 1940s and have been used widely ever since. They don’t break down in the environment, can move through soils, contaminate drinking water sources, and build up in fish-people, wildlife, and even the human body.The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry says exposure to PFAS

The Growing Problem of Plastic Pollution, Part 2 of 2

However, the problem of plastic waste extends far beyond cities; it occurs even in the most remote places on Earth. Currently, the world produces twice as much of this waste annually than it did two decades ago. In addition, since its outbreak in late 2019, the global COVID-19 pandemic has caused even more waste to be produced. In a February 2022 report, the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) warned that t

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

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

The ozone layer plays a critical role in protecting life on Earth and the wondrous flora and fauna that thrive in its lush landscapes. During the 1980s, Jonathan Shanklin, a junior researcher at the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), detected a hole in the ozone layer. Recognizing that the ozone hole resulted from ozone-depleting chemicals, namely chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), the Montreal Protocol was

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 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
