In a world on fire — quite literally — the choice before us is as ancient as it is urgent: Do we compete, or do we collaborate?

Compete or Collaborate: The Consequences is a gripping, thought-provoking podcast that explores the existential risks facing humanity as the planet teeters on the edge of uninhabitability. From climate chaos and collapsing ecosystems to rising seas and disappearing resources, the crises we face are no longer local — they are transnational, interlinked, and accelerating.

And yet, in the face of this shared peril, many nations — and individuals — are choosing competition over cooperation. Hoarding over helping. Denial over action. “What’s in it for me?” has become the motto of a species with everything to lose.

Told in clear, compelling language for everyday listeners, this podcast breaks down the science, the stakes, and the stories behind our fractured response to global catastrophe. It exposes how voluntary ignorance and zero-sum thinking are not just political failures — they are a threat to our very survival.

Each episode asks the question we can no longer afford to avoid:

If we can’t learn to collaborate across borders, ideologies, and generations — will there be anything left to compete for?

Because the clock is ticking. And the next chapter of Earth’s story is being written right now.
