Episode notes

In the near future, in the next decade, that we, Europe and the US, or anywhere globally, are going to need to rationing. Are we going to nationalize essential industries such as energy? Is that on the horizon? Well, it's not in the horizon. It's already happening in the case of Europe. But probably this is not enough because the key point for us is that we have not the resources. So we need to get the resources from somewhere. In the case of United States, you have resources. You have plenty of resources. I mean, they are not infinite. You are going to run out of them. And before that, you are going to

On this episode, physicist Antonio Turiel joins me for a wide-ranging discussion from oceans and climate to energy and culture. Oceans are one of the most important factors regulating the Earth’s climate, and yet they receive relatively little attention from the climate community. There are numerous critical risk factors to unpack regarding just the oceans alone - and still so much that we don’t know. This conversation also delves into the complexity of an economic system requiring continuous growth itself embedded in an Earth system that is already hitting its limits. What are the boundaries of our energy systems and what options do we have - and not have - for the future? Is the root of the critical issue we’re facing - not a technical problem - but a cultural problem?
