We can’t live without water. It comprises most of our bodies and planet. Water does so many cool things. Water is pretty weird.
Even though particle physics tells us we are mostly space, we seem to be mostly water. We can’t live very long without it and it surrounds us and all we do.
We live on a planet that has tons of water. Literally. As ice, and liquid water, and water vapor.
Water travels around our planet in predictive ways we call the hydrologic cycle.
Water creates currents because it holds heat differently than other compounds.
Water has chemistry unlike any other molecules.
Water is weird. And critical. Vital. To life.
To understand our planet we must understand water. Why it’s weird and what that strangeness means for all life.
If you listen to this episode it will refresh your memory about why water is so cool and explan why I’m bothering to share this information. It will help you understand climate change and our connection to the Earth and each other.
