Earth Science Show: Recent Episodes
My Opinion
What is a mass extinction? Are we in one? In this episode, i'm talking about what they are and whether or not we're a part of it.
I'm back on the Climate bandwagon. This episode talks about worldwide anomalies from April and a few over the summer. Those of you in the know will understand. Those of you who are deniers, well, listen and then let me know if you still think Climate Change is a hoax.
Just how many times has life on Earth been almost wiped out? Well, I'll tell you. You just have to listen.
What ends up in the street or on the beach ends up in our oceans. Tons and tons of garbage floating and sinking in our oceans. This episode is about an update to the Great Garbage Patches.
Armageddon. No, this isn't about the movie. It's about asteroids, comets, and what they could do to the Earth.

How did we get the oxygen we breathe? This episode will explain a bit about it. I will warn you it is heavy on science.
Heard the phrase "Trees are climate's Silver Bullet?" Yeah, well don't believe everything you hear. In this episode, I'll talk about whether they are or aren't. What are the solutions to carbon absorption?
While on my holiday break, I thought publishing older episodes would keep you entertained. In light of the recent eruption of Spain's Cumbre Vieja volcano on the island of La Palma, I'm revisiting last season's episode. In it, I talked about the possibility of a collapse of the island causing a tsunami. The recent eruption has reignited (no pun) those rumors.

Are we running out of water? How can that be? This episode is all about our water use on Earth and how reclamation works.
What's to say? This episode is about weather and climate change. I go in-depth into recent weather and its apparent link to climate change.
We've lost Arecibo! What's next? In this episode, I'll tell you about the history of Arecibo and its unfortunate demise. I'll also talk about the future of radio astronomy.
What is it about Plate Tectonics and Ice? Is there a correlation to climate change? I talk about it in this episode.
So, what's going on in the Southern Hemisphere? The South Atlantic Anomaly. What is it? Do we as humans need to worry about this? Learn about what it is and what it means in this episode.
As the planet melts, bacteria and viruses can be released. TIn this episode we talk about the melting ice and permafrost and the potential of diseases we have no resistance to emerge.
This episode is a bit sciencey and technical. But important nonetheless. I talk about Glaciers and sea-level rise.
Earlier this season I did an episode on Disappearing Species. This is part 2. We talk about biomass loss and overfishing.
What do Rainforests have to do with Climate Change? This episode talks about Rainforests and Carbon and what 2 Degrees Celcius has to do with it.
In this episode, I talk about a Volcano Early Warning System. Yep, you've heard of an Earthquake Warning System and a Tsunami Warning System, now learn about one for Volcanos!
Do you know what goes into our landfills? You will not believe what goes in and how long it takes to go away. This episode is all about what we throw away.
Are we experiencing the Sixth Great Extinction Event? In this episode, I talk about what is happening to the planet's plants and animals and whether or not we're experiencing the sixth extinction.
Water is becoming a rare resource in many countries. Is there a way for us to reclaim or find new sources of water? Yes, there is. You can take water out of the air. This episode talks about that.
Finally, the episode I promised last year is here. I talk about the possibility of a megatsunami caused by the collapse of a volcanic island.
Why does melting glaciers matter - other than for Climate Change? How about the Tilt of the Earth. In this episode, I'll discuss how the Axis Tilt of the Earth matters.
Just what is the difference between Renewable and Sustainable Energy? What are Renewable and Sustainable energy sources? This episode will answer those questions.
You've heard about it and now I'm talking about it. The Great Garbage Patch - well, patches! This episode talks about how we're destroying the oceans with plastic.
A refresher on Climate Change and how the weather has become the latest telltale sign of it happening.
How did our Moon become our Moon? There are many theories so which one is the right one? This episode covers the theories and some new studies. Let's talk about them.
Why are we seeing more flashes in the sky? Asteroids, Meteors? Is something going on? Almost every day we hear of another asteroid passing by Earth or someone catches a shooting star. In this episode I talk about Asteroids.
Just what does sustainability mean? Last season I talked about it in general terms. This time, let's talk about Ocean Sustainability. Like your shrimp fried or barbequed?
What happens with Global Warming and the food we love to eat? This episode talks about how food production is directly related and impacted by Global Warming.
With Urban sprawl, more and more sightings of animals are happening all the time. As we encroach upon their territory, the more interactions happen - good or bad. Let's take a look at the subject.
What is going on with navigation systems? Have you heard about the Magnetic Pole Shift?? Well, take a listen and learn a little bit about it and just why it's such a big deal which few are talking about.
Can the human race continue to survive on a planet with millions of new people being created? What's the breaking point for the Planet to sustain us? Take a listen and find out!
Did we evolve on Planet Earth? Were we dropped off in the distant past? Did an Alien sneeze and we eventually grew out of the primordial soup?
Is Global Warming made up for the benefit of China? Is Global Warming nothing but scientists running off at the mouth? Let's take a look at REAL SCIENCE in this episode.
