Planet Water — Juan Enriquez 3/4

Deep Future

Show Notes

Juan Enriquez and I follow climate change into the oceans, where almost all of the warming is stored. He explains how more moisture in the atmosphere produces extreme rain while heat dries out the land, why net zero will not cool the oceans quickly, and how marine cloud layers or stratospheric geoengineering might help. We connect BYD-scale manufacturing to geoengineering drones, then confront the harder problem: who can coordinate action before politicians demand an instant fix?
