Oceanic Pollution must be a climate priority. It is not just an environmental side issue as the ocean covers 70% of the earth and is the most efficient carbon sink, producing oxygen as well as providing food and transport. However it is being used as the world's garbage bin, which by raising its temperature, reduces its efficency in mitigating extreme climatic events through its system of currents. This podcast explains its often neglected and forgotten features.
Our hosts unpack the link between oceanic pollution and climate change, revealing how untreated sewage and chemical runoff undermine the ocean's role in balancing our planet's climate. From the science of carbon sinks to the gaps in global marine regulation, discover why healing our oceans is a climate priority no one can ignore.
