To say that humans are reliant on the ocean is an understatement; civilization as we know it would have been impossible without the use (and often times misuse) of it. Though we may not realize it, we also rely on the ocean to store a massive amount of heat and greenhouse gases. But, how much longer can the ocean keep up with this major task? What are the effects of this? In this episode, we talk about the ocean's role in fighting global warming, how global warming is affecting the ocean, and more.
