Extreme Weather
The news continues to inform us of severe weather conditions around the world. Vivid images and reports of hurricanes and typhoons, tsunamis and rogue waves, droughts and wildfires, and inundation of coastal areas by torrential rains, mudslides, storm surge, record tides, and sea level rise are familiar to us all. The impact on natural resources, coastal communities, and human dislocation and life can be devastating. How do CO2 emissions or global warming affect our weather? Is there a correlation between our behavior and these phenomena? How can we protect ourselves from the destructive effect?

OUTLAW OCEAN MUSIC PROJECT:
WHERE MUSIC MEETS JOURNALISM
All music in this project is based on THE OUTLAW OCEAN, a New York Times best-selling book by Ian Urbina that chronicles lawlessness at sea around the world. The reporting touches on a diversity of abuses ranging from illegal and overfishing, arms trafficking at sea, human slavery, gun-running, intentional dumping, murder of stowaways, thievery of ships, and other topics. The music is an act of solidarity across geography and language, and an attempt at storytelling from written word to music. It is a captivating collection of inspired songs. Take your pick: listen to ambient tracks, classical, electronic or hiphop.
