About this episode

The episode discusses the alarming rise in ocean temperatures, new species discoveries, and the implications of deep-sea mining activities by the U.S. government.

The ocean just hit its second hottest temperature ever recorded. Scientists discovered 24 brand-new species nobody knew existed — at 4,000 meters deep. A 40-year-old iceberg is collapsing in real time. And now? The U.S. government just fast-tracked permits to mine the EXACT spot where all of this is happening. But that's just the surface. Are we stumbling into something that was deliberately hidden? Is the deep-sea mining push a cover for something bigger? And why does every person who gets too close to these answers end up gone? The ocean isn't just warming. It's waking up. 🎵 Music from Nick the Rat Radio on SoundCloud: 1. Purrple Panther — Let's Go to the Moon 2. G8X — Gate 2 Strange Dimensions 3.
