Futureproof with Jonathan McCrea
Extra: The Power of Plankton

They will benefit from all the phosphate and nitrogen.

Put in the ocean because it will boost phytoplankton to their food.

They will benefit from acidification because acidification prevents plankton to create their shells.

So it's easier for jellyfish to eat them and so forth.

Futureproof with Jonathan McCrea
Extra: The Power of Plankton

I mean, it's not like tomorrow will not be the planet of the apes.

Futureproof with Jonathan McCrea
Extra: The Power of Plankton

It will be the planet of jellyfish, maybe.

Futureproof with Jonathan McCrea
Extra: The Power of Plankton

I wanted to finish up by asking you about the man who ate plankton and lived on it for 65 days.

Futureproof with Jonathan McCrea
Extra: The Power of Plankton

Because it's mad to think, you know, giant whales just eat plankton and can survive and feed their enormous bodies.

Futureproof with Jonathan McCrea
Extra: The Power of Plankton

So can you tell me a little bit about this guy?

Futureproof with Jonathan McCrea
Extra: The Power of Plankton

Yeah, it's a crazy story because this guy was a doctor who was obsessed about shipwrecked and the people dying in the lifeboats.

Futureproof with Jonathan McCrea
Extra: The Power of Plankton

And he noticed something interesting is that people in lifeboats, they die.

Futureproof with Jonathan McCrea
Extra: The Power of Plankton

They they theoretically they could only die from cold after a couple of hours from thirst after three days or from hunger.

Futureproof with Jonathan McCrea
Extra: The Power of Plankton

But actually, most of the people, and there was at this time, it was in the 50s, we had 50,000 people dying in live boats after the shipwrecks.

Futureproof with Jonathan McCrea
Extra: The Power of Plankton

So he realized that all of them almost, they die after one or two days.

Futureproof with Jonathan McCrea
Extra: The Power of Plankton

And after a lot of research, he realized that they were dying out of despair and fear, mostly.

Futureproof with Jonathan McCrea
Extra: The Power of Plankton

Yeah, because they thought that there was no solution and so forth.
