It's a wild ride these days on our planet. Yes, the climate is warming, but everything else kind of feels like a hot mess too. I'm Johanna Wagstaff, host of the podcast What on Earth? I'm a meteorologist, a scientist, and a pilot. So buckle up because I'm here to help you make sense of how people are changing the planet.

and what we can do about it. Every Saturday on What on Earth, we've got science-backed answers to questions that are actually popping up. We figure out what's a real solution and what's actually just messing things up. And because I'm constantly blown away by this amazing planet, we find a little wonder along the way. Find and follow What on Earth, wherever you get your podcasts.

This is a CBC podcast. Okay, the first celebrity I remember liking was Charles Chaplin, and the reason was he made me laugh and he moved like a dancer. Welcome to Ideas. I'm Nala Ayed. Think back.
