The climate’s thermostat is water — not just carbon. Restoring the water cycle is the fastest path to achieving climate resilience. In this interview with Alpha Lo, creator of the Climate Water Project, we reveal how disrupting local rainfall patterns triggers the disastrous “death spiral” of watersheds — drought, fire, and flooding — and why water vapor is 67 times more powerful than CO₂ as a greenhouse gas. It’s time to stop focusing only on emissions and start looking at the hydration of the planet: healthy soils are the largest water reservoirs we have.
