Episode Description
This episode of Climate Emergency Forum explores how the Iran war has triggered a hidden global crisis in fertilizer and food security, far beyond the headlines about oil. Herb Simmens speaks with climate scientist Paul Beckwith and physician and climate analyst Peter Carter about how conflict in the Strait of Hormuz is blocking up to one‑third of the world’s nitrogen fertilizer supply, threatening harvests from Iowa and the Punjab to Ukraine and the Nile Delta.
