Earth's Supply of Resources: How Much is Left?25:33Earth's Supply of Resources: How Much is Left?On today's program, we’ll examine some of Earth’s critical resources teetering on the brink of exhaustion. The two most heavily consumed natural resources, water, and sand, are currently facing critical shortages. “Humanity's lifeblood, water is increasingly at risk around the world due to vampiric overconsumption and overdevelopment; that's the language used in the UN report.” “Ten percent of thePlaneta Ziemia: Nasz kochający dom2023-09-18 194 Poglądy32396p720p1080p2023-09-18Planeta Ziemia: Nasz kochający dom Extreme Oscillations: Understanding the Impact of Climate Change on El Niño and La Niña23:06Extreme Oscillations: Understanding the Impact of Climate Change on El Niño and La NiñaAcute variations in wind strength and ocean temperatures in the vast Pacific Ocean lead to two distinct climate patterns, El Niño, and La Niña. “The other concern that we have with El Niño is El Niño creates a hotter Earth writ large.” Depending on where you are in the world, the effects of La Niña can vary.

Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) occurs when the bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites that cause the infectious diseases mutate over time and become resistant to the existing drugs. AMR makes infections much harder to treat while increasing the risk of spreading disease, and even death.AntimiPlaneta Ziemia: Nasz kochający dom2023-08-21 351 Poglądy31396p720p1080p2023-08-21Planeta Ziemia: Nasz kochający dom Harvesting Rain: A Sustainable Water Solution22:23Harvesting Rain: A Sustainable Water SolutionOn today’s program we’ll examine the benefits of rainwater harvesting and methods for collecting rainwater.
