We often talk about climate change in terms of melting glaciers, rising temperatures, or vanishing species.
But what if the most radical transformations are happening in a world we can’t see?

In this episode of Compost of Ideas – The Podcast from the Bin, we travel into the microscopic world inspired by Antonella Fioravanti’s Viaggio nel mondo invisibile — a book about bacteria, viruses, fungi, and all the invisible organisms that made us, feed us, and might one day destroy or save us.

From the reindeer thawing in Siberia to the fungi thrivingin Chernobyl, from antibiotic resistance to new microbial discoveries in the ocean, this episode explores how climate change is not only reshaping the visible world but also the invisible one.
