PBS’s new documentary series, “The Future of Nature,” premieres this Wednesday with a deep dive into the often-overlooked role of our oceans in mitigating climate change. “Oceans,” the first episode of the series, examines the crucial process of carbon capture, revealing how the “biological carbon pump” draws down carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and into the ocean depths.
But it’s not just the water itself doing the work. The episode highlights the surprisingly significant role of ocean life in this process. From microscopic plankton to massive whales, the interconnected web of marine organisms helps remove carbon from the air, making the ocean a vital player in the fight against climate change.
“The Future of Nature” steps back to look at the broader picture, examining the power of natural processes to restore and stabilize our planet’s delicate ecosystems.
Tune in to PBS this Wednesday, March 26th at 10:00 PM ET/PT to explore the ocean’s carbon-capturing secrets.
