Dead zones form where human activity meets the ocean’s limits. In this episode, we explore how waste, nutrients, and runoff accumulate in marine systems, why the ocean’s response is delayed, and how local actions turn into large-scale ecological consequences. Dead zones reveal what happens when pressure builds quietly over time.

In this opening episode of The Ocean of Waste, we step back and look at the ocean not as a backdrop, but as a physical system with memory, scale, and delayed response. We explore how human activity interacts with this system, why consequences often appear later and elsewhere, and why understanding the ocean’s dynamics must come before managing, fixing, or optimising it.

A closing episode of Season 2 connecting the full system behind The Energy of Waste and why efficiency without alignment accelerates the problem.

This episode explores how much of our energy use is driven not by real needs, but by systems designed to stay permanently ready. It looks at the human expectations behind energy waste and why changing behaviour may matter more than changing fuels.

This episode looks at how extreme weather and geopolitical tension quietly reshape global supply chains, not through collapse, but through pressure. When key corridors stay open yet operate under constant risk, delays, emissions, and fragility become the new normal.

“Free” services rarely mean free. In this episode, I unpack how modern systems shift costs away from the moment of use, turning payment into membership and visibility into abstraction. When contribution disconnects from design, accountability fades and systems become expensive, rigid, and hard to question.

Carbon cost isn’t a theory. It’s a mechanism.

In this disclaimer episode, I unpack what carbon pricing really means once it moves through supply chains and into everyday life. Not as policy, but as a system cost that always ends up somewhere.

Back to the Future is an episode about why most energy innovation today is still built on old infrastructure. We explore why breakthroughs scale slowly, why upgrades arrive in controlled steps, and why the system keeps modernising the past instead of changing the outcome. The longer we delay real solutions, the more expensive and fragile the future becomes.

This week, Davos wrapped up.

In this episode, I’m not repeating what was said on stage. I’m unpacking what was avoided.

We look at the blind spots behind the “adaptation” narrative, why insurance is becoming a signal of instability, how worsening weather hits supply chains, and why decarbonisation still avoids the real operational levers.

A system-level breakdown of what Davos didn’t want to say out loud.

Market of Consequences isn’t really a market for energy. It’s a market for what energy leaves behind: emissions, waste, and delayed costs. And the bill doesn’t stay inside the system, it ends up with society.
