Join Mary Jo (Pines) and Kellie (Pluto) as they discuss the eleventh episode of the Pinky and The Brain spin-off, "Fly"! This episode follows the mice as they venture off into space to enact Brain's most devious plan so far: to use the Hubble Telescope to melt the Polar Ice Caps so he could flood the Earth up to the thirty-ninth floor.

Consider this. 40% of all plastics that are produced today are just thrown away within a month of acquisition. Only 10% of all plastic waste is recycled – which means 90% is not. And 32% of all plastic waste ends up in nature, including our oceans. 9-14 million tons of plastic waste is dumped into the oceans every year. That's 17 tons per minute – a garbage truck's worth of plastic waste dumped into the oceans each minute. And, this problem is only growing. It is estimated that by 2040, between 23—37 million tons of plastic waste will make its way into our oceans each year. This has real and tangible impacts – all negative – on us, the world's wildlife, particularly marine wildlife, and our atmosphere.Today I'm talking to Elise d'Epenoux, head of internal communications for SeaCleaners – an organization whose sole mission is to work toward pollution-free oceans, and they do so by employing some really unique strategies. They educate, they innovate, and they coordinate. Elize explains this work of SeaCleaners, and some of the more interesting and entrepreneurial projects they've got underway, including the Manta innovation – a first of its kind processing ship that literally trolls the seas and collects, treats, and repurposes floating plastic debris, and the Mobula Against Plastic Pollution (or MAPP) program, which unites partner organizations, governments, communities, researchers, and technical experts to implement clean-up operations on inland waters and onland activities to combat plastic pollution. We also talk about the scale of the problem, why it matters, and what we all can be doing in our daily lives to mitigate some of the worst impacts of plastic pollution upstream before it becomes a catastrophe downstream. -------------------------Follow Deep Dive:InstagramPost.newsYouTube Email: deepdivewithshawn@gmail.com **Artwork: Dovi Design **Music: Joystock

Doctress Neutopia's poem about Hopi prophecy, "We are the ones we've been waiting for." What are we waiting for?
In this episode the Rehashers discuss a train wreck of a water Road warrior movie in Waterworld. In a future where the polar ice-caps have melted and Earth is almost entirely submerged, a mutated mariner fights starvation and outlaw "smokers," and reluctantly helps a woman and a young girl try to find dry land.
Melting polar ice is a phenomenon scientists have been following for decades. What colleagues call the gold standard for this type of research was pioneered by a NASA scientist, Claire Parkinson. She has many publications to her credit, and now she's a finalist in this year's Service to America Medals program. To get her story Federal News Network's Eric white spoke to the climate change senior scientist from Goddard Space Flight Center on Federal Drive with Tom Temin.
10 years after Max Rockatansky walked into the sunset at the end of Beyond Thunderdome Kevin Costner stepped onto the big screen and urinated into a cup, introducing movie-going audiences to Waterworld. Despite its big ambitions, and equally big budget, the movie failed to wow critics, but 25 years after its release we hope to give the film its due by watching it h2o-minutes at a time.
The Ice caps are melting and it is really terrible. They are melting 6 times faster than in the 1990's.... I got some of my information about it from the following websites... the guardian.com........ Business insider Nordic ...... National Geographic and ScienceAlert Please listsen to this episode!
Traffic, gossip, polar ice caps, and Victoria Secret
If you can dream it, then you can do it! With Obsidian virtual reality contact lenses your imagination is the limit. Join nine million of your closest friends in an adventure with no limits. We have learned that here in National City seeing can be deceiving. Losing your grip on reality can be dangerous. What if someone takes control of your virtual world? What if someone turns your dream into a nightmare? William is still tirelessly investigating Andrea. Kara wants to help. He is very resistant. This is a dangerous business and he is afraid to get Kara wrapped up in it. He doesn’t realize the Girl of Steel can handle herself. Strength alone will not save her. They are not dealing with just physical harm here. William speaks of the emotional and personal cost he has had to pay to chase down this story. William’s best friend Russ is gone and Andrea Rojas has something to do with it. Together William and Kara will get to the bottom of this story. Alex is interrogating Breath Taker with the help of a truth seeker. Unfortunately answers are not forthcoming. It seems these Villains are accomplishing task without knowing the details of who they are working for. Brainy comes up with a plan to interrogate the mysterious Villain from two weeks passed. This leads to more proof that we are dealing with pawns in a bigger game. Lena is making more progress in her lab with Malefic. She promises that she will remove the mind block that protects J’onn from his wrath. All he has to do is incept creatures with a growing level of difficulty. Malefic passes the test subduing an aggressive lizard turning it into a docile reptile. Now he wants his reward. He must be blinded with the anger he feels for J’onn. Lena’s mission is to do no harm. She will not remove the mind block so that harm can be done. The launch of the contact lenses appears to be going smoothly but in the real world the DEO is tracking a problem. There has been a break in at one of Lex’s storage facilities. The thief has been identified as Rip Roar. A man who’s super suit gives him two additional long arms. Brainy says the marathon laser was stolen. This coupled with the pilfered particle amplifier can hit a target twenty six miles away and produce heat that is one hundred times hotter than the Sun. Kara must suspend her investigation with William and go check in with Alex. They are also using the private investigation skills of J’onn J'onzz. What he uncovers is truly unexpected. When Kara confronts Rip Roar she is hit by the powerful laser. Supergirl is down but don’t count it as a win for the bad guys yet. Kara calls for backup and they fly off to Antarctica. Rip Roar has his eye on Lake Vostok and the Polar Ice Caps. He uses the laser to punch a hole in the ice. The resulting geyser causes a seismic shift. Supergirl radios Alex to let her know that the rest of the team must go to the waterfront. The melting ice and gushing water has the potential to cause flooding of biblical proportions. The residents of National City are blissfully unaware of the danger that surrounds them. Alex is definitely in grave danger of many things including missing her date anniversary as she rushes to save innocent people lost in a dream. Back in Antarctica J’onn and Kara fly in formation to create a whirlpool to draw the water down and keep it from spilling out and flooding the Earth. Back in National City Dreamer is fully awake and battling a tidal wave with her dream powers. Let’s hear it for the Superfriends. Another crisis has been averted but so much more of this story is left to be untangled. One question is answered. Rip Roar is William’s long lost friend Russ. His mission was to flood the planet starting with the West Coast. Andrea wouldn’t want that. The factories that produce her contact lenses are there. She would never make a decision that would jeopardize her own company. The mysterious woman who informed us that Leviathan is everywhere is impressed with Mrs. Rojas. What will Leviathan ask of her? What is this dangerous liaison? Join us next week for another adventure. Rest assured that our team can handle any crisis this world throws their way.

Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences Professor Bruno Tremblay, one of Canada’s leading researchers on global warming, goes to the Canadian Arctic to measure sea ice melt and predicts an ice-free Arctic in summer.
Over the past 40 years sea ice has been decreasing in the polar ice caps. In this short Ecofact we're reposting an old feed whereby we decided to look at the facts behind sea ice melting. What we found was that there is now a northern passage because there is no longer sea ice! How interesting is that!
