Please tune into the Basics of the Climate Catastrophe to better understand a little more about this, 'Anthropocene Era,' that paleontologists, geologists, and scientists are coining this era in time. Honestly, it's pretty easy to understand that big corporations, unconscious actions, and personal motives are playing a huge role in devasting/ ruining our planet all in the name of money from the continued extraction of resources, minerals, and metals found in certain continents.In this episode, I try to stress how humans are so accustomed to the natural world in which we exist that we easily forget our absolute dependence on survival is from this planet and its' services. Additionally, the food we eat, tolerable temperatures we face, employment opportunities we have - and so much more- are solely dependent on the role biodiverse organisms play in stabilizing the balance of the Earth's climate. However, in the name of wealth and greed, this balance is dangerously at risk due to Man's immoral constructs, unethical techniques, and disgusting practices. In fact, a lot of individuals (or at least those in corporate settings) are more interested in continued materialistic gain than the threatening issues Earth and its civilization are in danger of facing if this issue isn't emphasized further. This isn't an episode meant to scare my audience, but instead to further educate the masses so that more discussions are being had about the depravity of this issue. In future episodes, we'll expand more on the subjects covered and introduce more ways in which we can create innovative solutions.
