In this episode, we dive into the eye of the storm—literally. With record-breaking heat waves, intensifying typhoons, and hurricanes that seem to grow fiercer each year, climate extremes are reshaping our world. Join us as we break down what’s driving the surge in these powerful storms, explore how well we can predict and prepare for their impact, and uncover the science behind a warming planet’s wildest and most terrifying weather. This is an episode you won’t want to miss—climate extremes like you’ve never heard before.

Did you know lightning heats the air to over 50,000°F—five times hotter than the sun's surface? Or that some lightning strikes can travel over 10 miles from the storm, striking without warning? As our world warms, thunderstorms are becoming more frequent and intense, leading to stronger downpours, flash floods, and even "supercharged" lightning storms. Join us as we delve into the science behind these dramatic storms and the surprising ways our changing climate fuels their fury.

Shipping emissions contribute to climate change and air pollution, releasing harmful gases like sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, and CO2. These pollutants impact both the environment and public health, especially in coastal areas. Reducing these emissions through cleaner fuels and technology is key to a healthier planet.
