## Resource

In this episode, Marina explores why climate education is a health issue by looking at what actually keeps us well, and what happens when the systems we depend on begin to destabilise. This is a reflection on the living world, on physical reality, and on why informed climate education matters at a time of change. Key points: She begins in gratitude for the living world, and how amazing this biosphere really is! Health is not something we create alone; it arises from stable temperatures, clean water, fertile soils and a functioning atmosphere. Climate conversations often focus on ecology or policy, but beneath them sit physical laws that govern energy, heat and motion - Physics and Chemistry. Climate change is driven by an energy imbalance, not by opinion or belief. Chemistry explains what substances are, but physics explains what energy does in a system. Climate change is already a health issue, showing up in bodies, hospitals and food systems. Human health has always been intertwined with ecological health. What’s most at risk and the stability of ecosystems, food systems and social systems Denial persists not because the science is unclear, but we don’t assimilate it and come together - I would love to see Cross Party politics. Language matters with Net Zero and Real Zero, especially the difference between delaying harm and stopping it. Education is not an extra burden here; it’s one of the few tools we have for prevention. Staying human means staying in relationship - with each other and with the living world.
