About this listen
In this episode, we breathe and feel our human connection to the short carbon cycle. Long-sequestered carbon stores from deep underground -- as oil reservoirs or within frozen permafrost -- are brought to the surface by human activity, and then converted into greenhouse gases. These gases, like CO2 and methane (CH4), float into Earth's atmosphere, circulate, and trap heat -- causing the planet to warm. We have thrown the carbon cycle out of balance.
topics and purpose: how humans participate with the carbon cycle, and how to enact systemic change for a climate-positive future
terms defined: short carbon cycle, long carbon cycle
