The ocean is an all too often overlooked part of our natural world, yet it is the blue engine that drives everything. And it is changing in many ways, at an alarming rate. Rising sea levels, warming oceans, increased acidification, plastic pollution... Physicist and oceanographer Dr Helen Czerski will discuss this with oceanographer Professor David Ho and geologist Professor Chris Jackson, looking at what we can do, and why or why not there's reason to be hopeful. Recorded in The Cosmic Shambles Forest of Science and Culture at the 2025 Latitude Festival. Don't forget to support us at patreon.com/cosmicshambles
