About this episode

This episode covers significant water-related news including drought conditions in the Southeast and the potential collapse of the AMOC.

Another Strait Is Closing. That story and more on H2O Radio’s weekly news report. Headlines: The AMOC is running amok and is now more likely to collapse, researchers say. The Southeast has become “ground zero” for some of the worst drought conditions in the country. Goldfish may look harmless and sweet in a fishbowl, but they can take down an entire lake ecosystem should they get loose in the wild. The Strait of Gibraltar may take millions of years to close but countries in the region should prepare now.
