Description

Perhaps one of the least talked about (but one of the most important) aspects of ecological and environmental collapse: our oceans. From ocean acidification and dead zones to rising temperatures and overfishing, there are multiple threats to marine life. The delicate ocean ecosystems are dissolving before our eyes, with unprecedented consequences to our societies.Dead Zoneshttps://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/deadzone.htmlhttps://www.weforum.org/agenda/2018/01/dead-zones-in-our-oceans-have-increased-dramatically-since-1950-and-we-re-to-blame/Ocean Acidificationhttps://www.noaa.gov/education/resource-collections/ocean-coasts/ocean-acidification#:~:text=The%20ocean%20absorbs%20about%2030,by%20the%20ocean%20also%20increaseshttps://www.epa.gov/ocean-acidification/understanding-science-ocean-and-coastal-acidification#:~:text=Today%2C%20average%20ocean%20pH%20is,ten%2Dfold%20increase%20in%20acidityPteropod Shell Dissolutionhttps://www.nature.com/articles/ngeo1635Threats to Phytoplanktonhttps://psmag.com/environment/global-warming-is-putting-phytoplankton-in-dangerOceanic c02 Absorptionhttps://www.weforum.org/agenda/2019/03/oceans-do-us-a-huge-service-by-absorbing-nearly-a-third-of-global-co2-emissions-but-at-what-cost#:~:text=So%20far%2C%20the%20researchers%20found,as%20atmospheric%20levels%20have%20increased.&text=%22At%20some%20point%20the%20ability,scientist%20Jeremy%20Mathis%20told%20MashableThe Enthusiasm ProjectDeep dives exploring the world of what it means to be an independent creator.Listen on: Apple Podcasts   SpotifySupport the show

Apprehensive about the future? Like many, you likely have a gut feeling that things aren't quite right, but haven’t been able to place your finger on why. That feeling only grows with the increasing political tensions, economic uncertainty, natural disasters, and supply chain disruptions. What do all these challenges mean? And what will be the result of society’s current trajectory? “Breaking Down: Collapse” takes the complex concepts surrounding the ultimate collapse of modern industrial society and simplifies them so they’re easier to learn. The compelling evidence for our inevitable decline is introduced by collapse-aware Kory to his good friend, Kellan, who probably doesn’t realize what he signed up for! Skeptical? Gear up for a paradigm shift!
