Becoming Earth with Ferris Jabr

Earth is not just a planet with life on its surface but a living entity where life and environment continuously influence and transform each other. Our guest this week is Ferris Jabr, a renowned science writer, to discuss his new book "Becoming Earth." We explore the dynamic interplay between life and Earth's geology, climate, and atmosphere. From the Amazon rainforest's wet breath to microbes that breathe rock miles below the surface, this episode offers insights into the complex and life-sustaining systems on Earth. Listeners will learn how life and environment co-evolve and how this knowledge influences climate change understanding and our future on this planet.
