"Makes the IPCC reports so important and so credible. The IPC process is a very collaborative process. It's all of us coming together. And understanding climate change this year perspective. All countries, they nominate their scientists from the world. And then IPC as a group selects them. It's based on science and pure science. And the second part is also about this being the outcomes of the reports are actually vetted by the countries the world, the politicians. But second is also negotiated process. It is negotiated process between the scientists. You can and there are many, many ways in which this is thought. So one is definitely the consensus between the scientific community at the IPC level, but it's also every time the drafts are open up for scientific communities to end the policy communities as well as NGOs and activists to read the report and create objections. We respond to every each and every comment that we receive. It's not quality correct to say that climate change is not there. Well, that's a positive change. Obviously, but is it being replaced by greenwashing? We've hearing about greenwashing a lot over the last few days and various measures being put in place to combat that to stop governments and companies making these outrageous claims about how green they are. Is this something you've come across? There's a lot of talk, but there's less action. In fact, one of the wide reasons that lost some damage issues has been brought in to this after a lot of reluctance from the countries of the global industry is not is also what I would say an indicator that these issues remain. There's a lot of promises which has happened in the Paris agreement, but nothing has followed in latent spirit. So greenwashing is definitely what I would say is one of the major issues that one has to watch for. And not only watch for what we had to take the bull by the horn in a sense that we need to really, really bring it out and say that these guys aren't doing enough, you must do more. Let's talk a bit about India. How would you summarize the way that India's sustainable development plans are going? India has asked for more equitable carbon space the earlier model was that you develop you pollute and then you try to fix the environment, which I don't think is working now. You develop your pollutant and you can't fix it because we have gone beyond the level of a situation where we can fix the environment. What India has done is that it has asked for a space equitable climate space. That means by 2070, they are saying that we are going to go to net zero. But in between a lot of policy changes, which has happened, which I actually am quite laudable about. The solar mission is there. The wind mission is there. So there are a lot of work which is happening. You have to also understand that we have gone through a very long process in which last 70 years we have just it's just a small country country which is newborn in a sense 70 years is not a big history of independent India. So we need time to develop. In a sense to elite level C, also the object poverty that we have, we have been trying to broad bring people out of the poverty and that is process is definitely climate intrusive in a sense that you need more and more energy access for the poor people. And that would lead to certain changes in the climate process. But we are very conscious as Indians. And I think as society as people, we are very environmental conscious. So our capital is still lowest in the world. That means our society we are not very we are conservative in a sense that we use resources to the last breath. We can develop without polluting the environment. And there are ways and means to do that. I guess that is one message I will have for the Indian government to work towards that. That was agile prakash, the research director at the Barty institute of public policy in India, explaining those really difficult tradeoffs that rapidly developing countries like India and China have to make between taking huge numbers of people out of absolute poverty and finding ways to keep emissions down. Now Lara, we haven't forgotten about the youth, even though they're making us feel old and decrepit. They say you're only as old as you feel, so that makes us about what, 105 right now. No, I'm part of the juice. Good for you. Keep telling yourself that. I'll tell myself I'm also one of the youth in that case. No, I know you're definitely not part of the use.

"Time before everybody's in the office before, you know, the day starts getting hectic before people start interrupting you. I don't think people want to work that way. I really don't think people are happy with the way these open office structures are set up and people are very unproductive that way and not happy at the same time. So I started researching at my time at Postmates and radio methodology on how to be more focused. One early one that a coworker showed me that he has been practicing a lot of times was the idea of the Pomodoro method. You take a kitchen timer, set it up for 25 minutes and you work on one task uninterrupted the world can end around you, you don't care, you work on this one piece for 25 minutes to your kitchen timer rings and you give yourself a 5 minute break to do whatever you need to do answer your emails, talk to your product manager, have a quick check in with your designer teammates. Whatever you need to do, drink something, we always forget to do that. Then you keep on going another 25 minutes. So that alone, that concept of bringing it to a team and talking about, okay, you know what? When somebody is in a Pomodoro cycle, we don't expect you to respond to slack. You do not have to respond to a text message right now. If your product manager is waving at you, just point it your headphones and say, you know, in 20 minutes, like you can talk to me. And that already alone improved how happy people were and our productivity quite a bit. So that was like the first building block to oh my God, there are more and more of these methodologies. What if we would put them in into an app and actually open this up not just to, you know, the team said was leading and really just opening this up to anybody who wants to be more productive. And more scalable way that, you know, the engineer of us has to think about. And that's how I started center. That's the moment I built a little prototype. I quit my job. I raced a couple of rounds of financing, build out a lovely team that pushes this product super quickly forward and this is the center that we have right now. Well, tell me about the MVP, tell me about that first product you built. What sort of tools you use to bring it to life and how long it took you to build? I think from quitting my job to MVP to raising our first pre seed round of money, it was only a month. The really was just a month of me like coding and designing something and I'm a super big fan of rapid prototyping. I'm also a fan of building scalable software when the time comes, but you know, this is like your typical. All right, I'm going to heck something together. I had a lot of experience building very CPU intensive products with web technologies, but as desktop applications using electron, and I followed that path down and build with TypeScript react electron a little bit of C and swift code for some glue very quickly at first prototype. It looked like a to do list app with a play button next to each to do list item. In the moment you hit play, you get like this Pomodoro counter that just counts down and place some music that I bought. That was about it. That was a very, very first version. That was kind of the pitch on how could a productivity software look like that is not yet another thousands failing to do list app. But if we build an operating system that helps you to get your work done and help you to be better at what you do over time and learns from the way you work. Staying on that MVP a little bit. You know, with any MVP, you've got to make certain decisions and tradeoffs about what you're going to build in the short term or what you're going to cut or what sort of technical debt you're going to accept so you can move quickly. Tell me about some of those decisions and tradeoffs. You made and how you coped with them. Coming from just having and built and scaled a large electron code base from a previous job to script. I wanted to make sure that starting out even in MVP of something like centered, I wanted to build offline first and actually build this whole framework around a local sequel like database at then has sinking with our custom back end that I built on GraphQL on Heroku, and realizing going back to that by now we are incentive version three, we don't have any of that anymore. And it was a complete run decision to say, okay, we need to have all of this in place at first because if we have these technologies in place, they will just scale with us figuring out a product market fit. It was totally not the case. It was just an unmaintainable mass really, really quickly just because a single engineer in it at first just trying to ship some features and testing things out without really maintaining the overall architecture of it. Some of our early employees are still laughing about the time where they were the IPC manager class with 14,000 lines of code in there or something really, really bad. That we should have cleaned up even earlier and not have let it the architect should have stayed at home, probably a little longer. Well, then so from that point, right, you've progressed the product and you've touched on it at a high level in a couple spots, but I want to dig into it. How did you go about progressing the product and to give context or to wrap it in a box? How did you build your road map? And how did you decide, okay, this is the next most important thing to build. Yeah, and that's just like the loveliness of having a seed or even a pre seed company. Because you're being given money to experiment and to experiment quickly and learn quickly, which is amazing. It's really, really fun. It's even more fun if your experiments go somewhere and you can actually use those to build a real company, which I know not a lot of see companies survive. I think we've done an okay job with this so far. We experimented extremely quickly. So the first version of the app is just like the MVP expanded a little bit like an outline. And we learned from that from our users and by talking every single day to people who use the app. That is the most important piece for advice for any founder to talk as much as you can to your customers. Don't move on the spot for them if they think something is not working. Understand why it's not working for them, understand where they're coming from and maybe have that influence your road map. But not every single customer comment immediately should make you do a full 180° pivot, which is easy to do if you have a famous early customer with just like, wow, that just doesn't.

Amanda Little Asks, What Is the Future of Our Food?
"We have a growing global population. We have growing demand for meat. We also have decreasing arable land. We have increasingly brittle an antiquated food supply chains and all of this is combined with these increasing climate pressures and there has to be a new approach. This is journalist. Amanda little and like a lot of us. She's trying to make ethical food choices for herself. I live in nashville tennessee. Land of barbecues. I am a shark and charmed waters and has been very hard for me to remove meat from my diet. And that's just one reason. Why amanda wrote a book called the fate of food. It's an investigation into what needs to happen to prevent future food emergencies. The international panel on climate change has said that by mid century the world may reach a threshold of global warming beyond which current agricultural practices will no longer support large human civilizations. And i've committed to memory it's at actual quote from a twenty fourteen. Ipc report because it's just such a staggering statement. When you put it like this. Amanda like part of me is like oh my gosh. It's enough to want to turn off the radio and cry. But i don't want people to do that because you know you've spent all these years traveling and talking to people who are trying to fix it yeah. This is a deeply troubling story. How do you feed the world. This is a question that has propelled and troubled civilization for the better part of thirteen thousand years right. And you have one side saying let's go back to the way things were industrial farming screwed. Everything up you know we. We need to d- infant our food supply and go back to sort of pre industrial agriculture.

"All. That's tough to say. Because i do feel a little down. This week with intergovernmental panel on climate change latest report And so right. Now i would say i feel a little bleak Pretty concerned about you know the conveyor ball of hot and cold water that brings The warmer temperatures too euro up like about ads slowing down. But i guess what excites me is that you know we're able to have this type of conversation yes And that there are companies like world sanctuary who is a b. corp and gives away twenty five percent of its profits too extreme poverty and supports compostable food service movement out there doing something And you know at times like this week. I can feel a little A little bit of a next financial crisis about it in terms of how much a single consumer single company can make that much of a difference. But i guess in the end we have to to hold on what we can control So i think it's great that were having this conversation in that there's other people size just you and me that are interested in this type of topic absolutely and i. I totally agree with you. The the report out Just you know a few days ago really at the time. This recording by the ipc is really concerning to really anyone who cares. It should be concerning to anyone..

"This part is not a scientific study. it's not a bunch of scientists doing some analysis. The ipc is actually one hundred and ninety five governments across the world who have then asked a bunch of climate scientists to read all the academic literature that has been published since the last assessment report. And then make based on this literature. find out. what do we know how confident are we. What are the things where we have still gaps in our understanding. Where is the jury still out and so by design. This is conservative report. Because it's really from everything that has been published from everything. What can we say. Where do we have evidence where everything points in the same direction there. We have very high confidence. But we're things depend on how you frame the question which model to use and so on we have low confidence and so this is really highlighting the things that we have very very certain about yes so it's not only the the models have gotten better since the first report which they obviously have their much higher resolution but also you know the first report was based on hundreds of studies one is based on over fourteen thousand studies and in addition those folks who came in read. The report gave us of thousands of review comments to work on for each chapter. So i mean it's an intensely. Intensely carefully scrutinized report you. I was really impressed by the work. On extreme temperatures in part because again. I'm like a sympathetic outside consumer right but it seemed like compared to previous ipc reports and correct me if this is wrong this is kind of less equivocal about which types of weather events are if you will kind of signature right. It's kind of saying like if you have a relatively modest increase in warming. You're going to see even now extreme events like five times more often like fifty temperature anomalies. You get up to one and a half or two very very frequent. Can you guys talk more about how those are calculated and i assume that matches up pretty well with observational data. Where we have good data correct. Yes so. I think what this report i think for. The first time makes very clear is that while climate change effects all sorts of extreme weather events. It's an absolute game changer. When it comes to heat waves and hot extremes so we see everywhere in the world an increase already in heat wave so we have more heat waves longer heatwaves and hotter heat waves and while we also see many of the world and increase in heavy rainfall events there we see maybe a doubling at current levels of warming and also not everywhere in the world but for heatwaves we see the number of how much more likely heatwave gets depends on how you define heat wave so the sort of the headline numbers that are given in the summary. For policymakers based on a measure that's called ex- x. So if you take the maximum temperature in every year and every point that is the measure you you look at has by now. Increased approximately by a factor of five. But when you think about heat wave has you experience it. It's rarely ex experience at sort of grip point level of a model personally because heatwaves that we experience are usually on slightly larger scales last for maybe a week or so and so we have assessed a lot of publications on individual heat waves or scientists have looked how has the likelihood of these kind of event changed and we see there are heatwaves like the.

"By being unabashedly left in terms of voting governments. Out and not voting. New ones in is that why the liberals can be so. I don't wanna say that they are confident to your point earlier. But is that why that they can be so brash. In terms of calling the selection because they know that you know in a time like this canadians would probably just prefer to stick with what god him through the pandemic. It's not that bad and is that kind of who we are as voters. that is who voters i think. Well not not universally but largely. Yes his the fact is the voters are not particularly. Partisan they're not particularly politically engaged. I'm talking about on average. They are not ideological which is different than partisan right you can. I'm ideological not partisan and they don't walk around with a coherent set of evaluative criteria and ideological. Check boxes that want to tick. They're good with good at their jobs. Their hobbies or sports whatever their family they trying to get through the day and they're looking for good enough and that's true of all kinds of countries that's just true. Democracies tend to tend to work and then of course there are institutions that pattern behaviors and ours have pattern ours in such a way that we tend to get liberals more often than not. I mean they're called the quote unquote natural governing party. Which is a new irritating phrase but the fact is they've governed more often than than they haven't right and what you typically see if you look back to the history of the country you see a long period of liberal rule in the liberals blow it the conservatives governed for a couple of years and then the liberals are back we we default to the liberals in. It's institutionally the case. How long has been. We'll ask you to drop the cynicism then for a second. I know it's very easy to be cynical about this election in an ideal world. You know we've got an election here. We're going to have thirty six days or whatever it is to to make a choice. What could this election be about. What kind of chances do we have in front of us right so i just finished writing a piece about this and i argue that. This election is unnecessary but nonetheless important. I mean the fact. Is that whether or not you want an election. Whether you're not you think in elections is necessary independent of that. The fact is elections are important. They matter and they are an opportunity to talk about things. And we typically do engage in in policy debates. They're not the best always. They're marked by all kinds of partisan skulduggery. But they're still they're still policy conversation. That happens and i welcome. That i really do. And i think this can be an election about a handful of things and will be chief among them. Climate the ipc report of a few days ago was called a code red for humanity by the secretary general the united nations. We're seeing around the world. We know so. We can have another climate election every election from here on has to be a climate election pandemic recovery. The fact is we're we're slowly beginning to recover from the pandemic notwithstanding the fourth wave and perhaps future waves. Will we know that there were. We're in a place where we start to work on recovery. There's a real discussion about how to do that. How we can do it. Equitably who gets what when and how to use an old line for politics so pandemic and then of course the issues. I mentioned earlier which are still live issues. Even though climate in the pandemic often overshadow them. They're still pharma care. Childcare indigenous reconciliation injustice anti-black racism disability Tax policy all kinds of things that are critically important. Notwithstanding the climate debate and the pandemic recovery fact and are part of the climate debate and pandemic recovery debate. So i think we can have a real enforcement conversation with how we ought to do that. And set the agenda for the next six weeks. And i'm going to be moderately optimistic. And saying that i think there will be a bit of a robust conversation but that stuff because the parties do differ on to some extent on how to do things. I will say this though. I do think to some moderate extent the vote will be a bit of a referendum on have been double vaccinated. Can i sit on the patio and we'll be able to do that for another couple months. And i think the liberals are counting on. How will we know what this election is actually going to be about. You know you mentioned back at the beginning of this chat that the election is about. Oh we don't want an election for a very brief period of time and then other things kind of take hold. What will you be watching for to see. What's setting the tone for voters. And when will we get a sense of of what's really going to matter when we go to the polls. Well let's set the tone. I mean the truth is that's not encouraging no. It's it's it's not but the alternative is. I should qualify that a little bit. Obviously you can affect things from the ground up and a lot of the issues that are that are percolating are percolating because people have been working on them but the fact is the election is going to be a reflection of what the parties choose to talk about and what the media chooses to cover and highlight because the fact is there's a lot of stuff going on out there in any given day. We see a fraction of it in that fraction as a reflection of what. We're most likely to see because it's being covered the most the most prominently right. And that's why the media and parties have a huge what we call agenda-setting functions. And so it'll be up to them and it's so it's one of the reasons that as a columnist and writer i tried to talk about substantive issues and as much as i can in productive ways. Because that's gonna shape what people talk about. And that's a that's a serious responsibility and so i think we're going to see the usual horse race staff usually why you know we don't need an election talk the meta stuff. The horse medicine. But then i really do think it'll be up to the parties. Decide what they wanna forefront. And i suspect it's going to be a mix of again looking back on the liberal record. Obviously but looking forward to pandemic recovery climate and social policies around i was mostly farm and childcare. And here's the thing if we at the parties and media want to spend six weeks talking about climate pandemic childcare pharma care as well as hand an indigenous reconciliation. I think will be also top of mind if they want to spend six weeks talking out first and foremost those issues and then several others. As.

"Come back to the dennis prager show. We're are talking with steven hayward about the just released. Un ipcc report on the imminent demise of the earth due to global warming. and steve. Before the break you were just starting to explain that this entire global warming hysteria is based on model projections but the scientists scientific portion of the ipc report is starting to acknowledge that there are simply serious problems with those models. So let's pick it up there. Yeah this is the hardest playing in simple terms you know. There's a famous quote from late. James q wilson one of the most prominent conservative political scientists to the last generation anyone's said the social scientists quick trying to predict the future. You can't even predict the past and that turns out to be exactly true. Climate modeling scientific community that works on this recently tried to back to some of their models to data we've generated from thousands thousands of years ago and found that the model generated temperature predictions that way off from what the temperature records were able to figure out actually work so come to the current Reports and you know the problem computer miles of the old garbage in garbage out. What do you put in the front end Well you have to put in an admissions projection. How much greenhouse gas emissions admit from fossil fuels over the next seventy eighty years and the last few reports from pcc. The last one being in two thousand fourteen had these very high projections of what they thought we were gonna do. Over the next century the world about growth and so forth well As time has gone on people look at those projections. say those are totally unrealistic And so the the latest report the one just out in the five sections campaigns vis sentence. Oh quarter from it. The likelihood ohio emission scenarios is considered low in light of weeks developments in the energy sector. That translation is what we've been saying before all wrong and a few further down. They say what's most likely now. Here's what quote here. Approximately in line with the medium scenario nine gone for a long time about the smell. You get very technical but the point is when you get in the language what you realize is they are drawing back from some of their scariest projections and with out those high emissions scenarios. You can't get the disaster. In fact now it looks likely to read the whole report. They say by the way we don't even like quote here No likelihood is attached to the scenarios. Assess this report. That's a big climb back from the last report which says the high likelihood for these high mission scenario so you can see the science. The real science of this has actually gotten more modest and now if you read between the lines they say it looks like the worst case scenario might be free degrees of warming century from now. That's assuming everything else is correct these models and leave that aside for now you know. That's not the end of the world. It would make some changes. But that's an entirely manageable problem. Even if the worst case comes through well and i think even some of the Alarmist scientists now admits that the models have been running hot. And it's an obvious point. See but one worth making models are not evidence. A model is a hypothesis. it's a hypothesis and a model is proved either right or wrong by experience if a model predicts that in the next ten years. we're going to have a one and a half degree. A net change in temperature and a dozen happen that means the model was raw. And and we've had these models around long enough now to be able to compare their projections with the actual temperature records and their raw. They clearly are projecting temperatures. That are that are too high isn't that isn't that pretty plain. Yeah i think to be precise what we ought to say is most of the models are projecting temperatures that are too high are likely to be too high it. It is important to remember that there really isn't just one model or one projection. There's usually begin time forty or fifty different model projections group them up family. Yeah that's right and steve. Let's talk a little bit about what's really going on with the earth's climate putting the projections to the side for the moment In my opinion you tell me if you think this is right or not. I think it's important point. I mean in my opinion the only really reliable temperature record that we have is the satellite record. Which is public it is transparent and and it is not hasn't been tampered with. And it's not thrown off by things like the urban heat island effect and so on and unfortunately that record only goes back to the late nineteen seventies but but do you agree that that is the only really reliable record we've got be. What does it show temperatures going back earlier. That are interesting but yeah the sound like record is only forty two years old. It showed a significant amount of warming between roughly nineteen eighty. One thousand nine hundred ninety eight and that's been bouncing up and down a range ever since then And every time you hear oh. This was the hottest year ever which we heard three or four times. In the last decade it turns out it's hotter by a couple.

"We saw the publication of the un six ipc climate report this week in the calendar of an environmental journalists like yourself. How big a moment is this. The red letter days michael. No doubt about it. And that's because of the enormous scale at the enterprise. I actually think that these are the biggest scientific endeavors ever attempted in in human history thousands of scientists on the work that they do is all collected poured over judged put together and then they bring into these enormous reports which represents the current state of knowledge of what's happening with our climates then most importantly and they produced this summaries for st pages which is gone through line by line by all the governments in the world. Each line has to be agreed by consensus. And so it's not only the judgment of the well. Scientists is also been endorsed by the world's governments that this is what's happening with the climate report doesn't tell us what to do. It doesn't say you have to do this and then you have to do. This doesn't provide us with such solutions or tell us that you need to do this. And that's up for us. This new report is about the physical science of climate change. And but it's only one part of three and the second parts will do is how we can reduce emissions and assert penalty was how we can if we can adapt to the changes. And they're coming out in the next few okay so this gigantic exercise or culminated in the release of the report this week. What did actually say the very first words in it is unequivocal and what it meant was. The climate crisis is real. You know the world's getting hotter unequivocal that humans have made that happen. Today's ipc report says a global one point five celsius temperature. Rise is now inescapable. Perhaps within twenty years is also unequivocal that human activities like burning fossil fuels and chopping down forests are making extreme weather events making those more intense and more frequent. It also found that it's happening everywhere on land cnn. There's nowhere that safe. This isn't a problem. That's fattening far away. From people in rich countries like nine devastating report by the un's intergovernmental panel on climate change which warns that many human caused effects are now irreversible. It looks and found something since we've done really irreversible and along vast to do with the ocean segregation is going to continue heating for centuries sea level rise is going to continue for centuries all of these things are unprecedented in millennia. If not millions of years okay. So what about the k. Number in this report how much hotter has the world gotten. The temperature has risen since what's called pre industrial which easily eight eighteen fifty nine thousand nine hundred period and so the temperature has risen by just the one degree centigrade and of course thousands doesn't sound like a great deal but even just that one degree centigrade has already meant that events. That were happening. Let's say once a century of patenting once every twenty years. Did it make any predictions about what needs to happen. In the short term to cape global hating within a kind of manageable bracket absolutely so one point. Five degrees centigrade is You know what we could call. The manageable bracket the sons is i spent but to them over the weekend ahead of the report and they all sense the same thing. Which is we need rapid date and immediate cups to carbon emissions. And the thing. That's very striking about that to me. From somebody who follows. This is that that's never happened. Except for during the pandemic that sides emissions will only ever gone up and acoustic stimulating atmosphere. So it's not just cutting the emissions to a bit less than last year. You have to get them back down to zero in the few decades. Some of these findings are just so stark. The idea that the global surface temperatures already one degrade hotter that. The past five years have been hottest on record since eighteen fifty but paddock statistics. Actually translate to the real world. I mean how do you link what we've read in this report to the kind of weather events that we're witnessing now what happens. When you increase the temperature by that is kind of raised the starting level so a heat wave that would have been fairly. Intense becomes that much more intense warmer hotter also can hold more moisture and therefore you get more torrential downpours and of course the more intense rainstorm. The more likely you are to get flooding sea levels rising think about hurricanes using for example the south coast of the united states. If you're starting you know twenty or thirty centimeters higher as that storm surge comes in hurricane winds of blowing the waves on shore along with the rain. it's going to reach much further inland than it would have done. Otherwise you know all this really is measured in human suffering in on that sometimes gets lost in the kind of boll statistics and every extra ton of co two means a bit more suffering around the world and not just in flora faraway countries is with everybody right now and so other events in the news. Now i mean over the past year where you can say. They are the result of the kind of climate hating that. We're saying in this report. Absolutely decisive attribution. Where people can't feel the odds of an event happening in the world as we have it compared to the world without any global heating if we hadn't been all this fossil fuels heat wave powerfully illustrated. How much of an increase in intensity could be observed and as you saw from the study yes. Climate change is the main driver behind this heat wave. Around two-thirds of the events they look at heat waves and droughts and floods and things like that around. Two thirds of the events have a clear fingerprint of climate change. That's all happening with a bit over one degree of warming. What happens if we hit one point five degrees. And why is that number the source of so much attention so if one point five degrees was chosen as a an ambitious limit at the paris climate. Change deal in two thousand fifteen but there isn't anything magic about that number. I took climate change being a slow motion disaster an incremental so one point six degrees is definitely worse than one point five and one point seven worst one point six and so on and so on so it's not like fall off a cliff in suddenly the whole climate crashes so what happens if we go over one point five world one good example from the reporters that extreme heat waves that were expected about once every fifty years without any global heating or already happening every decade with one and a half degrees warming. Don't happen every five years. When you get two degrees you get these extremely heatwaves. Every three and a half years and if god forbid we hit four centigrade they'll happen every fifteen months okay and that's a heat waves that we were expecting once every fifty years is going to happen more or less every year. It's it's scary prospect going beyond.

"So getting a major climate change report is always a bit of a strange feeling right because on the one hand we have definitely been here before it is a very familiar feeling but on the other hand we are now in completely new and dangerous territory because the ipc report handed down on monday is easily the most panicked missive. We've had from experts as the species so far and this report is especially important if anything. It's the report on climate change and decided it's depressing. One isn't really the half of it. And today we walk you through. What's in it but also look ahead to the next big moment in the world's response to climate change the un summit in glasgow later this year so to do that we called in a climate scientist. Name is will's stephan. I'm a counselor with economic council of australia and then america's professor at the and you now will your obviously already very much across the threat of climate change given. It's your entire job to communicators. We thought in mind. How did you see this report when it came out was it. Was it a shock to you at all or was it more or less what you were expecting knowing. Everything's already nerve okay. We'll give them what it was pretty much expected. But i was really impressed with this report. In terms of the way that the science was communicated and the message came through a really really clearly that we are in an emergency situation. That urgency is the name of the game and that we really need to get on top of the climate change. Challenge this decade. let's take a step back and maybe start with basic. So maybe you could remind us what the ipc report is and wide attract as much attention as it does. Okay we'll the ipcc's stands for intergovernmental so it was initiated by governments of the world got together and said we need the advice on climate change. So it's a paddle. It's supported by the world's governments it brings together scientists from basically all countries and they assess the scientific literature so with you're in csiro universities noar ness in america europe. Whatever we all publishing papers in the journals like nature climate change science and that appear reviewed so their quality control but that's a massive amount of literature and so about every six or seven or eight years the ipc get together a panel of scientists to assess this massive amount of literature and condense it down into something that can be understood by government and the public. I think these import of these reports are so important so influential because they do represent the best consensus of that vast body of scientific knowledge on climate. Change that we have. So that's what we mean by saying. It's the report that really counts. It's the most complete review of the science to date. It represents a really rag global scientific consensus and it's the first one we've had eight years right. It also happens to contain almost zero. Good news this one. I think told us absolutely without a doubt that climate change is real. It's being driven by humans. It's accelerating it's dangerous and time is running out to deal with. Those are the messages that came through much much stronger than the report. In two thousand thirteen years ago that was the one just before this and the ipcc assessed five possible. Halfway full. only one of them will get you to a safe landing. And that's very urgent one. It's a narrow pathway and there's no time to lose so it was. It was a real wake-up call. I think in that regard is that well. We're sort of just floating along in terms of getting our emissions down. that's a disastrous pathway. And we can't stay on that one. It also sort of brought a few timeframes close into focus as well didn't it. You know particularly this idea that we could be just ten years away from exceeding that one point five degree increase that important one point five degree increase right detroit so right now. We're sitting at one point to the ten year average from twenty seven to twenty twenty is about one point one but of course things moving upwards so we're sitting at about one point that's only three tenths of degree below at one point five target and at the right which temperatures increase in which is about two tenths of the rea- decade tells us that you'll be on the verge of surpassing that at about twenty thirty twenty thirty five. My best estimate will be somewhere between twenty thirty and twenty forty. We are likely to transgress the one point five and the reason the scientists us. Oh focused on one point. Five degrees as a threshold is because beyond that the conditions stopped to become notably more extreme on earth making it more difficult for humans to survive a related reason. This so focused on that threshold is that hotter temperatures kickoff events like lodge fis and the melting of old ice stores that actually released huge amounts of carbon and then feed back into climate. Change theoretically creating a patent of exponential acceleration. Most of us think were reasonably safe particularly with some of these. Non linear tipping points if we keep temperature rise at one point flavor below but as you transgress that the risk in other words the probabilities Increase in the start increasing sharply particularly around two or above so it. Isn't it absolutely sharp. Cliff line between one point five and one point six. But it's telling you that you're entering the red zone and just escalate much more rapidly. The further you get away from one point thought so that's why it is. I think a very good white point and a very good Wakeup call we really. Don't wanna go much about one point thought right and we don't want that nobody does but another big takeaway from this report. Is that starting to go into what will cause. The red zone is inevitable. Now we're not gonna keep it below one point five. Every every scenario in the ip report transgresses one point thought the question is to minimize the overshoot so we have a chance to come back toward one point. Five later in the century. Important point to make is that we're not gonna keep temperatures below one point five over the next few decades that's gonna be transgressed. But nevertheless the goal must be to minimize that overshoot and put in place of methods to get carbon out of the atmosphere later this century. So that's that's the real goal. We're okay so are we done with the bad news. No absolutely not that. We can take a seventeen ish second second break from it because we'll says so far. This report is having the designed effect. The report i think has been taken much more seriously than.

"Other ways of raising that money. He knows that all the democrats know that. But they don't care if they can just scare the hell out of you with climate change. Then they will. And here's the thing. There is the the most alarmist climate predictions are just flat wrong. The most alarmist climate predictions are not rooted in reality the reality according to the international panel on climate change the intergovernmental panel climate change the which is sort of the supposed gold standard for this stuff. The ipc is now sounding more and more rational on the issue saying that long-term climate change is a problem but it is not an existential threat to humanity nor is it likely to kill millions of human beings. The way the democrats say it will in fact. Let's go through that for just a second so over the course of this week. The ipc rolled out. Its brand new climate change report. It's brand new magical. Climate change aboard k. They rolled out a couple of years ago. And it's important to go through the details because the headlines on this thing suck the headlines on on the climate change panel decision. The the ipcc new paper are just. They're so over the top and insane that if you don't know anything and if you don't read the background paper you end up freaking out. It's things like extreme weather events likely to kill millions. It's all this talk about how the climate is going to the the world will boil. We're all going to die. Millions will perish in the flames. Can that's not correct so let's begin with a couple of facts and when it comes to natural disasters killing human beings the simple fact is that the global annual death rate from natural disasters has been robbing precipitously from the nineteen sixties on this chart from our world and data and it shows the annual death rates from natural disasters per one hundred thousand as in the nineteen twenties. There were twenty two deaths per one hundred thousand from drought. They're probably another four or five deaths per one hundred thousand from earthquake. You had a bunch of people dying from storms. You had a few people dying. From extreme temperatures and then you can see a precipitous drop from.

"Put the report together but they don't write it. That job falls to hundreds of scientists around the world. This is the sixth assessment report. The first major report that the ipc has released in eight years. But it's not actually all out yet. The report making headlines. Today is the first of three installments and like past reports. This first installment is about the research that has emerged since the prior report the next installment will be about the impacts of climate change on living creatures and the final one will be about our options for mitigating the climate emergency this first installment is quoting ars technica a product of seven hundred fifty one scientists that references over fourteen thousand studies and data sources. The scientists addressed tens of thousands of comments submitted by reviewers and at summary for policymakers underwent a line by line approval process and quotes. So it's it's pretty huge and incredibly. Well vetted because of that. Vox says quote. Ipc reports are considered to be the definitive assessments of the science behind climate. Change past ipc reports have been cited in coastal construction plans drought risk estimates and even lawsuits and quotes in short. The report is not to be taken lightly and hopefully will help push some much-needed policy forward. And when i say much needed i mean it. That's one thing. This first installment of the report makes crystal clear. We are in a pretty dire situation coburg vice chair of the ipc and senior adviser for climate at the national oceanic and atmospheric administration said quote. This report tells us that recent changes in the climate are widespread rapid and intensifying unprecedented in thousands of years. Climate change is already affecting every region on earth in multiple ways. There's no going back from some changes in the climate system and quotes one of the biggest findings being touted by headlines is that according to the report we are almost certainly going to blow past the one point five degrees celsius increase that the paris climate agreement set as a maximum goal. This is a measure of warming. Compared to the pre industrial era and one point five degrees celsius is the absolute most that we want the planet to warm. The goal used to be two degrees but findings about six years ago showed how even that half degree difference would produce exponentially worse outcomes of ox article from the start of twenty twenty described the difference between one point five and two degrees celsius as quote. Severe heat events will become two point six times worse. Plant invertebrate species lost two times worse. Insect species lost three times worse and decline in marine fisheries. Two times worse rather than seventy to ninety percent of coral reefs. Dying ninety nine percent will die. Many vulnerable and low lying areas will become uninhabitable and flows will radically increase and so on at two degrees celsius. Climate change will be devastating for large swathes of the globe and quotes so. Yeah one point. Five is a much better goal based on five potential pathways modeled by the ipc in this latest report. Only one pathway keeps us under that one point five goal and that pathway is to have very low co two emissions even low emissions gets us past one point five within a few decades while intermediate high and very high co two emissions puts us between two point eight and just under five degrees within the century literally every pathway has hitting one point five although with the very low end low emissions pathways. We are at least eventually leveling off or even going down smooth in the second half of the century. There's a great graph illustrating all of this in the report or you can see it in the vox article linked in the show notes. But basically we do nothing in. We're definitely screwed. We try really really hard. And we might scrape by or we manage to get the entire world to be all in and we well. We're still not completely okay. But we're as okay as we can be at this point like much of the rest of the report. None of this is news to climate experts. But the authority of the data will raise alarm bells. According to bbc the authors say that since nineteen seventy global surface temperatures have risen faster than any other fifty year period over the past two thousand years. This warming is already affecting many weather and climate extremes in every region across the globe whether it's heatwaves like the ones recently experienced in greece in western north america or floods like those in germany and china. They're attribution to human influence has strengthened over the past decade and quotes and indeed. One hallmark of this report is the ability to show. Just how much really is the result of human influence quoting again from vox. Advances in an area of climate science called attribution have led to a better understanding of the climate before industrialization as well as models of a hypothetical world without human intervention of observed changes in extremes such as heat waves heavy precipitation droughts and tropical cyclones and in particular their attribution to human influence has strengthened since the previous ipc report. According to this report with these methods scientists can establish just how much burning fossil fuels has increased the likelihood of extreme events like heat waves. The report says it's virtually certain that extreme heat events have increased in frequency and intensity because of humans and quote and quoting from ars technica using the average of the last decade the report notes that surface temperatures have warmed about one point zero nine degrees celsius since the late eighteen. Hundreds the new summary statement about humanity's contribution to that warming says the likely range of total human caused global surface temperature increase from eighteen fifty to nineteen hundred to two thousand ten to two thousand nineteen is point eight degrees celsius to one point three degrees celsius with the best estimate of one point seven degrees celsius that is humans are responsible for approximately all of it and quotes now. The bbc kind of implies a silver lining to the fact that we're responsible for most of the warming quoting co author professor piers forster from the university of leeds in bbc. The thought before was that we could get increasing temperatures even after net zero but we now expect nature to be kind of us and if we are able to achieve net zero we hopefully won't get any further temperature increase and if we're able to achieve net zero greenhouse gases we should eventually be able to reverse some of that temperature increase and get some cooling and quote. Of course. that's still a huge ask. I say especially from the perspective of someone living in a nation highly divided on the idea that anything in this report actually exists but nonetheless as past reports have done this will serve as evidence for any parties fighting for stronger action on climate. Change cop twenty six in glasgow this november the united nations climate change conference and also the first five year check in for signatories of the paris. Climate agreement will be a significant opportunity for world leaders to make some big decisions based on this report. Miserable has karate in. Ipc author director of the center for climate resilience research at the university of chile. Said quote avoiding the worst consequences of climate change demands far more drastic and urgent action to cut greenhouse gas emissions right away. Is it still possible to limit global warming. The one point five degrees. The answer is yes but unless there are immediate rapid and large scale reductions of all greenhouse gases limiting global warming. To one point. Five degrees will be beyond reach and quotes and ending with this from eric called houses. The phoenix newsletter. As featured on cocky dot. org this morning quote. The most striking part of the report to me is its use of the word rapid prominently which to me is a major change from past reports. The era of rapid climate change has begun both a rapid escalation of consequences and a rapid escalation of solutions. Time has run out for anything but radical change to me. The report is equal parts depressing and galvanizing. It will take several years even in the best possible scenario to see the positive effects of rapid reductions in emissions. But that's not so different from every other worthwhile investment. We make from going to school to going to therapy to building bike lanes to forming communities of mutual aid. Every worthwhile thing takes time and if we believe this report the next twenty to thirty years is the most important time of our whole.

"It fair to say that. We are living in the world now that was predicted by the nineteen ninety. Ipc report says. Bill says it's just the certainty has improved. And so yeah. Those brave people that spoke out. I like dave keeling was measuring atmospheric. Co two from top montmelo. Instead we have a problem we've known it. It's just they're more certain. And that's how science works you. Keep working on reducing the uncertainty to make sure you're correct. Okay you know bill bill numa calls. You've you've said this bill that this is our like the. The paul revere moment right that the the people have been crying. The british are coming and but now they are here. So do you think that nations are more are more likely to to actually act now. Then they were in one thousand. Nine hundred ninety. I think they are but But but governments have been the problem with abc reports all along as you know The scientists put together the report. And then they write this. Summary for policymakers and then that has to be approved by governments and so of government. Sit there nitpick the language and take things out and in fact the one and a half degree report Meeting like that just like the one that just occurred for this report. A saudi arabia tried to tried to basically throw the whole thing off off the track and they They had to drop any mention of the nationally determined contributions which is diplomatic way of saying this is what we say we will do whether we'll do another matter because They just didn't want to admit that there the the that the oil era has to end And so i think that one of the biggest problems we have is that you have to have absolute universal agreement by governments where the ipc report to be approved of for of any action to be taken at the at conservative action. Taken at the un. And just look at the problem. We have in the united states between states that are coal and oil producers and those that are not i mean in massachusetts is no big deal to stay. We're going to. We're going to not have any more natural gas hookups. Try doing that in texas So these special interests are able to dominate the system both here and in europe of been involved in advising the european commission and you know ironically on the day that the floods occurred the wiki. The monday after the big floods occurred in germany They made announcement of what their forest of strategy is going to be. Which if they had more forest the floods wouldn't be as bad and yet they totally but failed to make the connection so governments are a huge problem and this is why it is so encouraging to see that that individuals institutions and even many corporations are picking up the ball and running with getting way ahead of everybody else loves the government professor law on that note. We've just got about forty five seconds left. I'm so sorry. We're running out of time here. But william munoz point about government's being challenged to finding solutions as well taken but people still want to know what they can do even as individuals. What thoughts would you like to leave them with. Individuals as still said improve the energy efficiency of your home have smaller homes Plant based diet natural. Climate solutions need to have the protect these systems that are doing the job of taking carbon out of the atmosphere forest as well as marine systems and we basically need to adapt to more frequent fires about pressuring those governments that represent them as well. Yes they're definitely gonna have to move that well. Beverly law professor emeritus at oregon state. University's department of forest.

Yes they looked at this question very carefully. And i'm sorry to say that we don't think they can be reversed. We do think that they can be slowed. All stopped in some cases. So there's no going back from some of the changes that we're now seeing in the climate system not if we if we limit warming then said we can slow them down unstop from now. We're talking here. About very longtime processes like sea level rise and melting advice sheets these long processes that are underway. Sea level is going to carry on rising for hundreds of years. Whatever we do now the we can for instance we can slow that down. Goes it and what do you think. The impact of this report will be on the leaders summit taking place in glasgow october november. I mean they've got to come up with or they're being asked to come up with one hundred billion dollars a year for climate mitigation. What's new in this report. That's going to convince them to do so. This question of how. The report will affect the negotiations. That are starting lesson agreements in glasgow on climate. That's very important question now. Of course the ipc is a scientific body doesn't make recommendations or tell governments what they must do. But what's very clear. Here is the body of new scientific evidence that shows in the climate is changing changing foster more dangerously than we thought even a few years ago so this is really a wake-up cool tool those negotiators who will be in glasgow to really look very hard at what they can do to stop the climate crisis.

Hot Prospects: A Sobering IPCC Report
"The intergovernmental panel on climate change as a long history of choosing its words carefully but in the latest report from the un's global climate authority released this morning. The tone is shifting for years. There was a whisper of uncertainty of unwillingness to make definitive and damning statements. It's clear from the words of ipc chairman wholesomely. That reluctance is going. I it has. It is indisputable that human activity is causing climate change and making extreme weather events more frequent as severe second is shows that climate change is affecting every region on our planet and lastly explains that strong rapid sustained reductions in carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions will be required to limit global warming. These are sobering assessments the last trench of research. The ipc will publish ahead of a mammoth clement meeting in glasgow later. This year is the most comprehensive assessment of the science behind climate. Change that the has released in is rachel. Dobbs writes about climate change for the economist represents a huge commitment by scientists. There are two hundred thirty four. Paul authors going over thousands and thousands of papers. It's has with much more certainty than we've ever had. What is driving climate change. How human actions impact on it. What the effects of it will be and the ways that we can avoid some the west consequences and its conclusions make pretty grim reading because what are of those conclusions. What's the report saying. So this report finds that. Even if countries to drastically reduce their greenhouse gas emissions now none of them currently show consistent downward trend of any sort the world would likely breach one point five degrees celsius of temperature rise above preindustrial levels within the next twenty years

Union of Concerned Scientists' Dr. Rachel Cleetus Discusses What the Biden Administration Needs to Do to Address the Climate Catastrophe
"To the healthcare policy podcast on the host. David intra cosso during this podcast discussed with the union of concerned. Scientists climate energy programs policy director. Dr rachel cletus. What the biden administration needs to address mitigate the effects of the worsening climate crisis. dr cletus. welcome to the program. Hello david thank you so much for having me. dr cletus. bile is of course posted on the podcast website. This is my fifteenth climate crisis related interview on background. The climate catastrophe continues to accelerate hemispheric carbon concentrations are now measured at four hundred seventeen parts per million the greatest concentration of carbon in our species existence. Not surprisingly there's a ninety nine percent chance. Twenty twenty will be among the top five warmest years. Two thirds chance for sixty six percent chance that will be the warmest year on record. This year is also experiencing a record-breaking atlantic hurricane and with thirty named storms to date and record breaking wildfires in the arctic that is warming at upwards of three times the rate of the rest of the planet the albedo effect from the loss of summarized will be equal to the release of one tree tons of carbon equivalents in the atmosphere. This amount approximates forty percent of all human caused ghg emissions. Since seventeen fifty in addition northern permafrost that holds almost twice as much carbon dioxide is currently in the atmosphere his thawing seventy years earlier than previously predicted the plan is also experiencing unprecedented biological violation. Vector-borne diseases including covid nineteen continued to proliferate and the trump administration in denying scientific reality has rescinded approximately one hundred environmental regulations that i discussed with sabin centers. Michael burger last may and finally listeners are where he federal court ruled earlier. This year. that americans do not have a constitutional right to survivable climate. So with that welcome. Dr cletus again were here discuss climate policy under the vitamin station. So before diving into that. A doctor cletus Regarding my brief assessment. Is there anything. You'd like to add or alternative. I can i alternatively i can ask the question. The union put out a document a few years ago called the title the world scientists warning to humanity. so if you prefer to answer The ladder what was in that warning. I think you've just made out a very thorough set of reality that were tainted with respect to the climate crisis. Things that climatize this morning house project are now actually happening around a severe climate crisis. If you're now it's no longer about some distant problem and it's affecting us here in the united states and around the world you mentioned the record breaking hurricane season we've seen the cocaine season moby seem pretty extraordinary type wounds on the other side of her world with the teams being. Hit back to back. In the last few weeks we've seen extraordinary heatwaves around the world in europe in asia flooding And see living wage which is inexhaustible continuing slow moving disaster that many low-lying things around the world are facing Including as in the us Especially in on that. He's been go goes. We're at a point. Now where we are rapidly running out of time to address very new classes and as you pointed out as well we actually earn a moment for our nation is facing colliding. Place the covid nineteen pandemic as you mentioned but we also have a rapidly worsening economic crisis. We have a crisis democrats in our country. That is being made there In this moment so all of these colliding to creative patrician where underlying social economic disparities than discrimination being exacerbated and a climate crisis is holding a very inequitable way Around the world and here in the us so what we do now what the biden administration does and what future us administration to is very very important. The most significant difference. We're going to see is that we now have an administration that recognizes the fines will be guided by the signs and how they respond to the climate crisis instead of an administration that basically lied relentless me about the existence of Munchies the climate crisis that even the reality the cova christ who actually worked to make them more worse. So now we have a president who actually five instead of sidelining them and silence them yes. thank goodness. I will say As had been speculated trump's legacy will probably be moreover his Calling the crisis a hoax and of course Rescinding these operas of hundred epa mostly epa regulations. Let's get into What we might expect from the biden administration. We could start with. I did intend or ask you What did the biden campaign pledge to address the climate crisis. But let's let's pass on. That says now he's been elected you wrote In a union of concerned scientists blog post. I believe it was dated november seventh What the by presi means Relative to the climate crisis you identified Various aspects are measures that the biden ministrations should take under the title wet. President biden's should do on climate. You could note a few of these relative to what you think would be most productive coming from a biden administration. What's most important for the vitamin that administration to extend a very clear strong and early signal. They're going to take this challenge seriously. They wanna aggressive with all of that. They have so. I know that maybe have pointed out that In our democratic took them eighty the actions that the president together with the action congress that will really allow for full Aggressing of problems like climate crisis. And no doubt congress. Must say it's hard if we're going to get your They should have and comprehensive action. But there's a loss at the biden expiration can and should do on its own and much of that can be done fairly quickly Within the first hundred days of the administration taking power one quick forward and simple thing that everyone has been talking about is of course are getting back in the remount of the trump administration on november. four The final the us from the of women that is an action that puts us on the sidelines and uniquely isolated on the world stage where the only country that has actually stepped away from the therapy. We need to get back An after the responsible major nation of the world i together with other nations to raise invasion around a dozen the global climate crisis. And i miss fans there's no different the covid nineteen pandemic. we can solve the global complex challenges only when the app in concerts that other nations. So that's pretty straightforward It's not enough to just get back. In paris agreement we have to borrow A with domestic action. That shows that you are gonna take this seriously. We have to set signs and gone goals cutting He in mission here in the us. The ipc record and twenty eighteen all down some pretty cure now. Metrics are the growth of the global community would have to meet to stay below two degrees here. Aiming for one point five degrees celsius about pre industrial levels the temperature increase so. She do contribute. Its fair share to that. The us must be on a bad day to get to net zero emissions. No later than twenty for before. I'm have to be well on that. By twenty thirty having our mission show By twenty thirty to do that we're going to need action across the economy. Has inspector the biden administration should be directing every federal agency To make sure that they're incorporating climate science and their actions that they're looking for opportunities to go cut emissions as the bill climate billions to the climate impacts that are unfortunately already locked in Their action that the administration can take to the deputy voters and regulatory action to cut heat trapping emissions cosby economy. They should do so There are a number of very aggressive. Compensation decorative voter that Should be giving both back and one thing that is the has not recognize the now taking these kinds of ambitious actions requires leadership not just from the president but from his gatherer competitive agency. You'll be watching me. What appointments look like we need to have people in charge of these agencies and appointed to cabinet positions that recognize how climate change touch with every aspect of our economy and our lives and there needs to be david into their world view.

What is an IPCC report?
"When you read about climate change, you may come across mention of an IPCC report, but you may not know what that is or why it matters. Assessments of the intergovernmental. Panel on Climate Change. The IPC are written by scientists who were nominated by U N member nations from around the world basically tasked with providing the world with an objective scientific view of climate change and its impacts globally. Virginia Burkett is chief scientist for climate and land change at the United States, Geological Survey, and she was a lead author of the three most recent IPC assessment reports. The latest report was written edited and reviewed by more than two thousand scientists. It's based on data presented in more than nine thousand scientific studies. So Burke says, these reports reflect far more than any one individual's perspective on climate change they represent the consensus of the science community globally there based on peer-reviewed publicly available literature. She says the goal is not to provide policy recommendations, but to give lawmakers and citizens the information they need to make smart decisions and find solutions to this global crisis.
The Voice Tech Podcast
Anthony Tassone on how GreenKey got started
"In two thousand thirteen. I was doing the first of many winters down in the Virgin Islands and found a green tea because I was trying to build a voice software application that could work with knee remotely so as I travel around around the world. I wanted to have something on my desktop that enabled me to connect my counterparty brokers who are all over the world and there wasn't anything that was software based on two thousand thirteen and when I went and asked people within banks I thought it was crazy they thought that would never happen. Brokers would never communicate with you over the internet or in a cloud or using software though communicating. Just by telephone about your hardware lines. They're called tedium signals. You know these are the big hardware devices. And they have a physical line that connects from me to you. Own One continuous line. They're very expensive to our partner. One of our investors. IPC THEY AAC create hardware turrets. They connect people with tedium lines. And it's very resilient is something that works in an always works and as always going WanNa work and so these mission critical users like traders. They need to walk in the office in the morning and have their left work. They don't care what it costs. They don't care how archaic it is it just it works. Don't change anything mission critical. You can believe it. He had this crazy idea about bringing the internet into things under pushback but what specifically voice interfaces and sound what is it that turned you onto that side of things so green tea. Nearly as I said was the soft interface in my idea. The time of founding rinky was to create the telephony application and then in bed speech recognition. NLP INTO IT and the adopting the new voice interface was challenged because of muscle memory. Change and I think the move toward soft interfaces on Wall Street. It's going to continue to be slow. It may be one to two percent a year. It will happen over time. Maybe they'll be a big bang event as a younger generation of traders comes up. But it's going to be very slow adoption so wasn't an ideal the market for cranky to be a startup in so what we did was we hinted instead. Let's stop competing with the providers of these hardware shirts in lines Let's partner with them so we partner with IPC and then we just focus on the data science component we just focused on speech recognition in. NLP and not being the actual application that you have to log into but rather we will get on to whatever telephony device you're using CISCO PHONE SKYPE call doesn't doesn't matter to US additionally over time we got away from audio and said we're agnostic of what this data sources that you bring to us if it was audio before it becomes texts. That's fine with us we're going to ever extract incites meaning you want us to extract insides directly from the Audio. You can do that as well but today our customers. There's are mixed. They feed US raw text data or they'll feed US audio and options with the transcription as well as the sometimes. You have both against. Yeah that's correct. It'll lessen major source of confusion. Infusion I think on Wall Street and even police department which is there's a step I like there's audio than it gets converted to this unstructured mass. We call all a transcript. That has very little meaning. It's what happens next is the magic it's taking this unstructured transcript and extracting insights doing summers ation nation and taking keywords out in really understanding what are the intents of the people. Having this conversation very few people can make sense of or make use of just an unstructured unstructured text file and so we do a lot of educating our customers on moving them to the next step which is leveraging LP to structure up that unstructured file. I believe

The future of the planet clearly in our hands: top climate change scientist
"There are clear benefits to keeping the Earth's temperature below two degrees and the choices we make now will be critical for the future Sure of our oceans and krause fear that's the message from Angel- Prakash Coordinating Lead Author of the latest UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. or I P C C report on the havoc being unleashed on the earth's oceans and ice caps and what can be done to address it's unprecedented negative impacts on ecosystems and people in an interview with you a news Mr Prakash highlighted the importance of climate-proofing development programs building climate Brasilia infrastructure developing early warning systems and putting in place institutional innovation for Tackling Disasters Mr Prakash spoke to you on news eighteen Gar defined these new IPC city which is focusing on two important system which is oceans and glass fear and finding the that there's been Dogged about basically focuses on two points one is that these two systems interconnected systems and what happened wants to the Tucson also impact a larger larger population which is getting affected so oceans coming up the Earth is because of this fear are also changing and then the which is which is a frozen part of our world which is also changing so these two are important system entities there are people who are driving directly resources from the ocean systems they will be directly affected they'll be more cyclones in future similarly because of the glaciers declining there is a new be chained in water regimes and this is something which is not in future what we are seeing that this is happening today now and that's the major part of the question that we are trying to address here to this deport oceans are warming glaciers melting and sea level is rising but in a sense that we we know the pieces to deport has been saying saying just very critically that systems are at a very critical stage excited crisis is happening and because of this climate prices there are changes in the in the environmental system which is impacting the lives of the people so unfortunately is not good news but the only good news with we can share is that we can change the system so this the wave washes coming up weekend changed what decision governments me today when have an impacter for their future will be so our future is clearly in our hand and that's the message from the right and the report also says that global warming has already reached one disintegrate about the industry level and you've hinted about people being affect did their livelihoods depend on ocean ecosystems so how concern we should be about the consequences it may have on ecosystems and people we are not talking about one point five degrees centigrade we're talking about one centigrade rise in temperature so we have our leave the Centigrade and then what you're talking about this to keep US below one point five degree from the industrial level by end of the century but the way we are progressing at this moment what this report says that even if he you know of we are going to cross one point five degrees and chance chances is that we will you know we have to keep the temperature below two degree and that's the major issues that we have now what is happening is that because of the warming of the climate and the global warming there are many many people who are directly dependent for example six hundred seventy million people in the highly highly mountain region six hundred eighty million people in low lying astute zone because of the warming of the oceans and the changes in class field the no the sea level is rising and then that is directly affect going to be affecting who are staying in low-lying cortisone like for example people in the Small Island Developing States there sixty five million people who are living in the small island developing their about four let formula and people living in the Arctic region these people are going to be directly affected right so definitely a benefit of keeping the temperature below two degree and the choices that we make now very difficult for the future of the oceans and crafts here and this is what this report is being precising underscoring from the quarterback so what concrete emergent measures must be taken to address these changes in the ocean and ecosystems in the short-term dot com what we're talking about is probably now from now till twenty thirty two hundred fifty that the long term is between twenty fifty two and essentially what we are in a one to one is definitely as mitigation we need who if not work on mission that that is where countries have to come together they must cooperate and misses that you know if you we countries do not fall got it we will have much you know Greek future that's what this report is talking about the second part is adapation because even if you know the countries like for example Putin pal in this part of the world I'd actually carbon neutral countries they have not contributed anything to global warming AH at the age of the changes happening at this moment there four fund at the community the poorest communities in Bhutan and they file out the forefront of of whatever change is happening for example also in email invasions in India and Pakistan Bangladesh those the entire Integration Melanesian India's and also people living in the coastal communities now the question of how how can we adapt the first point is to climate proof flapping program so all the development program are slow go through climate-proofing process and the second is that we introspection has to be made climate resilient you know we have been seeing unprecedented changes in the in the in the weather for example you know there there's many many cyclones coming up Carribean ditsy cyclone that came together and this is all has been the scientists from my pieces have been warning these about these is for long long time and this report is the emphasizing underscoring and saying that this is this is going to be much more pronounced in future so we need to definitely have a much better early warning system we need to have institutionally ovation for tackling disaster and also resilient vibe your practices and to get this this we need to have a long-term monitoring kroger them sharing data information knowledge nothing improve scientific forecast it'll help us in predicting more such events you've been tracking climate change for a very long time in your view what have been the greatest changes you have seen over the past reviews that we think that I would like to emphasize one is the cloud even have been increasing philosophy more than ten years I've seen personally that and I've been working in the industrial region In the in based in London earlier and I think that the flood events have been much more frequent and the it much career in the extreme precipitation events have been more pronounced so this is one which is very very important for mountain people because you have flash floods and concerted effort that is to support our landscape and communities and individuals to address the challenges of intriguing urban heat in in in many of them locations has been very challenging for the government so the heat waves which is going to be much more pronounced in future and we have been already

Climate Cast
Does climate change make predicting the weather more difficult?
"This week's climate cast taking on just a bit of a different format because all a week we're answering your questions about climate change and who better to answer some of them then climate cast host and chief meteorologist. Paul Hunter Hi Paul Hi Tom we just heard from Maryvale Bennell of cottage grove so you study climate change regularly predict the weather as a meteorologist. what do you know what do you need to tell us that climate change in forecasting while Mary that's a great question and there is evidence that climate change is affecting jetstream patterns Jennifer Francis us at Rutgers University one of the premier authors of theory called Arctic amplification and here's how it works basically the polls we know are warming more rapidly even the equator and it's that difference in temperature that drives jetstream so that mix a slower more erratic jetstream loopier jetstream it can mean slower wetter storms and quicker more intense droughts and that can be more difficult for meteorologists to forecast it also produces changing precipitation in Patterns More Water Vapor in the atmosphere can mean heavier rain and snow events so sometimes we have to goose our predictions and take that into account a little bit an atmosphere. That's one degree. Fahrenheit warmer holds about four to five percent more water vapor and that can pool and produce twenty to thirty percent more rainfall in storms. That's something they discovered with a study of Hurricane Harvey a couple of years ago. What about when it comes to winter whether it's cold or snow forecasting which is always the tricky business anyway yeah. It's hard enough to start one of the highest degree of difficulty forecast. There is here's the thing about Minnesota and climate change. We know that winters are warming warming faster than any other season in Minnesota. It's warmed about five degrees in Minnesota since one thousand nine hundred seventy in the winter but it still plenty cold enough for snow and winter impacts include more moisture that works into winter systems to and that gives us the potential for heavier snowfall you use models allot in in forecasting is climate change affecting the way you use those or what they tell you well. It's something we have to adapt to because forecast models developed under a different set of atmospheric assumptions and so a numerical model orders have to play catch up to a new set of climate and atmospheric assumptions Tom now let's let's talk about the bigger picture here what's going on at the UN in New York all week this happens but what is different about the topics wchs and the discussion this year as you see it at the climate summit yeah many of these previous meetings have been about science about the state of the atmosphere right this this one is the UN climate action summit so it's not just a science and predictions but it also goes to how does the world actually get to the twenty thirty and twenty fifty carbon goals that these IPC reports have dictated need to happen so some of these notes are from the UN climate action summit page and areas. They're going to be focusing on this week finance. How do you mobilize public and private sources of finance to decarbonised is our economy energy and industry transitions and how do we accelerate the shift away from fossil fuels toward renewable energy and nature based solutions. How do you reduce emissions by changing the way we use is our forests and agricultural systems and also cities and local action advancing mitigation and resilience at the urban and local levels Tom so all all of these things are basically come to all right. We know the atmosphere needs us to reduce carbon and reduce it quickly. How do we actually make that happen and sustain a thriving economy and a sustainable planet

Climate change will be an issue for most voters in 2020 according to news poll
"In in one week. The United Nations will be convenience climate action summit and we hear crooked media have signed onto an effort along with more than one hundred and seventy other media outlets to cover the climate crisis in the lead up to the event as part of the covering climate now initiative which was launched by the Columbia Journalism Review and the nation at the Climate Summit on September twenty third governments will submit plans to meet the Paris Agreement Pledge of keeping global temperature increases well below two degrees Celsius although you know Donald Trump is trying to pull us out of the Paris agreement though it though it will not take effect until after the two thousand twenty election very notably so I guess my first question is why does it take an initiative like covering climate now to get us all talking about the climate crisis why do we why do we start every democratic debate with a thirty minute discussion on the intricacies as of Medicare for all of us the public option and then we end up with one question somewhere for lucky about climate change. I mean we've talked about this before for climate change. You couldn't design tougher problem in a lab if you tried the effects are just few diffuse. the the the actual impact of climate change is revealing itself slowly over time no one terrible storm no one terrible fire can be explicitly connected to climate change and yet the cost of climate change are evident over time the efforts to deal with climate change require fire collective action on a mammoth and global scale and all of this creates a sense of fatalism that makes people pull unattractive to the conversation. Yeah we're also asking people to do something that could be difficult in the short term for an enormous benefit in the long term and we as human beings aren't necessarily graded that in general there's also decades of anti climate change science that has been funded by the coke brothers and fossil fuel industries which has led to skepticism about the existence of climate change which has been adopted by the cult of Donald Trump and the Republican party for many any many years. That's made it a difficult conversation. You know in in sort of doing some research for this segment. One of the best things I saw though was that one out of four American teenagers have have engaged in activism around climate. That's a remarkable number five percent of any demographic doing something walking out of something attending attending a rally writing to a public official to express your views on climate change. That's exactly the kind of activism we need to drive this issue to the fore and to get people to it actually care and to get her government to do something. I do think that the good news here is that the politics of climate change have begun to change themselves selves fairly drastically over the last several years now the bad news is the reason that I think they've changed is because we are starting to really see inexperience. It's all over the place. These extreme weather events and droughts floods fires the record heat waves. It's which is happening all over the place now and there was a good piece. We were reading in preparation for this in Time magazine about how the politics of climate change has affected the race in Allah because there's so many farmers there who are like there's been floods. that have cost me a lot of money and there was drought the cost me a lot of money and then now all these farmers who are in the middle of the country. You wouldn't be big climate change people are now climate change people so there was a CBS News poll recently that said a majority of Americans believe that climate change is a serious problem and more than twenty five percent were considered to be a crisis fifty. Six percent of those polled said that we need to address climate change right now in seven ten human activity contributes a lot or some so you know the politics are changing and we saw this in our change poll of Wisconsin. We've seen it in polling across a whole bunch of different states in the country in the Democratic primary climate is now after healthcare in many of these polls the second most important issue to Democratic voters and yet while everyone came out there climate plans. It still seems like we haven't had a couple of news cycles on Democratic candidates talking about climate except once they roll roll out their plans yet interesting. There's a connection I think between the way in which healthcare and immigration have dominated the debates and climate and the economy have been given second billing and they're connected in that I think one of the good shifts we've seen in part because of the green new deal you know when the Green New Deal Oh came out the Republicans immediately latched onto that one set of talking points that talked about cows and talked about planes and and then talked about a cars in ways that I think they're right found very helpful and it's worth remembering that you know when we talk about climate change as things you'll get as ways. You'll be helped as ways. They'll be jobs in new technologies. We're on solid ground for the right understands that they are more successful talking about climate change when they're talking about things that that that that people want to take away from you whether it's cows or airplanes or cars or what have you and so I think or the frame that Tommy was talking about which I think is the real problem that climate changes all about sacrificing something in your life now for benefits that you may never see and if it's framed that way we will not succeed. I don't think yeah and so I I I do think look. I'm not talking about the the science I'm talking about the politics you know any one of the most important stats we've seen. Is that seven. I think it's more more recent study found that more than seventy percent of global emissions since I think nineteen eighty-eight have come from I think one hundred companies and I think when we resort this whole issue when reframe it less as a collective action conservation problem and more as a corporate malfeasance technology investment problem. I think we're on much firmer firmer ground. I I also think like I'm glad we did these. Climate Change Forums. I think they were valuable but I do think a debate would have actually been better because conflict gets news coverage Jabeen. There was no sense of a contrast between what's in one plan versus another I do think that for too long the conversation around climate change was like the polar bears are going to drown down and things that felt very far off the IPC report that said we're basically in trouble. If we don't drastically fix the problem or reduce emissions by twenty thirty that change changed the context but I also think people need understand it. Climate change is not binary. We don't fix it or not. we can make things better or we can make things worse based on interactions and I hope that understanding will reduce some of the fatalism you here. That's like well if the US doesn't do anything the Chinese are just going to continue to use coal fire plants input and put all the smog into the air and we're screwed no matter what so what's the point actually that's not the case we can make things better and I do think and the reason that I've always thought that the green new deal is actually actually smarter politics than some of the more moderate proposals that don't include proposals to sort of you know sustain economic hammock justice I think the the Greenville Smarter Politics because we need to talk about it as within this crisis there is great opportunity to who create an economy that is fair and just and produces all kinds of wealth good paying jobs and people can get training for all these new jobs and they can be guarantee. Not You know they have a federal job guarantee in there and they can make sure that they have benefits and people on the frontlines of communities. We're getting devastated by climate. Change can be helped now not ten years from from now but right now. I think we need to talk about this. We have a dirty energy economy here in the United States and around the world and in the transition to the cleaner energy energy economy to renewable energy economy that we have to make if we want to survive there is plenty of opportunity to have an economy that is more fair and more just and still productive in growing growing all around the world this is this can be a win win and it doesn't just have to be Do all you know make all these sacrifices now and hopefully things in the future will be better. That's so I think wh when when Warren in in the climate change in town hall was asked. I don't know what was asked about straws and what have you. She said this is what they want to talk about. They want you to think you're they're coming for your hamburgers. They're coming for your plastic straws because because that is a that feels like the kind of old confiscatory conservative your or personal sacrifice version of the debate when the green new deal makes this about infrastructure and opportunity and jobs and all the other good things people inherently understand comes from new technology renewable energy and what have you

In a changing climate. How can tech help us survive? It's a new series for marketplace. Tech demystifying the digital economy. I'm Ali would. Vimal change is here this week. We're launching ongoing coverage of how tech can help us adapt to it in a series. We're calling how we survive the change is evident in increasingly extreme weather all over the globe. A UN report last week said a million plant and animal species are on the verge of extinction. And warming is speeding that up and the UN's intergovernmental panel on climate change, the IPC said last year that our current rate of warming will cause fifty four trillion dollars in damages and that its effects will be increasingly deadly climate. Scientists say the trajectory is clear, I could write six more IPC assessments. They're all going to say the same thing. William Collins is a climate scientist at the Lawrence, Berkeley, National Laboratory, who has authored several such reports they're leading an very straight law. And and that's the reason why the scientists are eager to stop writing reports and start diving into creating solutions. So. Far much of the investment around climate change has been related to mitigation or slowing carbon emissions and reducing temperature rise that is not going away. But Collins and others are now talking much more seriously about adaptation, the data engineering and the technology to keep surviving in a changed climate. You can look sure people all day long about what they should do. I really wanna pivot from twenty people what they should do to showing them what they can do about a year ago Collins founded the environmental resilience exceleron or to start researching solutions for adapting to climate change. One of its first projects is taking a city block in Oakland and installing solar panels and grey water technologies charging stations for electric vehicles and seeing how that makes the area self sufficient in an increasingly uncertain environment for private investors climate adaptation is both an opportunity and an imperative Jayco is managing director of the private equity firm light Smith group, I and four. We need to recognize the climate change is a humanitarian disaster. So before we get to the how awesome is it to make money off of this part of the discussion, you know, let's just pause for moment. And recognize that this is a bad bad problem. Choas farm as one of the very few focus specifically on investing and adaptation technology. He says governments alone can't afford all the solutions that will need private money will have to fund companies to build new technologies or help transfer existing tech to cities and countries that need it. But he says we don't have all the answers yet part of the challenge here has been when most people try to imagine what adaptation means they think of giant sea walls around Manhattan or putting domes over cities or some kind of futuristic Jerry bruckheimer scenario, where nowhere near some of that technology. And in fact, co says the first step in adapting to climate change is what he calls climate intelligence understanding the scope of the problem predicting, it's impa-. Tacts and getting everyone to use the same data. So tomorrow on the show. We'll look at one intelligence gathering effort happening at the global level with a visit to NASA. I'm Ali would. And that's marketplace tech. And now for some related links. There is of course, so much to say about this topic. And honestly, our coverage is probably going to evolve along with the conversation. So first of all here's some of the nuts and bolts about how this series will work for the rest of the week. We're going to talk about the data gathering efforts the money some of the early tech. And why talking about climate adaptation is a little bit controversial after that. We'll have a story every two weeks at least until the fall. But obviously, this isn't a topic that is going away and over on our website. Marketplace tech dot org. We've got a little bit of a reading list to get you started MIT technology reviews. Latest issue is all about climate change mitigation and at station. It's got a ton of good information intact and one huge aspect of this conversation is one of our favorite topics on this show, the uneven distribution of technology, a WBU our story out of Boston last week talks about fears of. Quote, green gentrification as that city works to become more resilient to flooding and sea level rise late last month. The Environmental Protection Agency put out one hundred fifty page document telling local communities to start planning. Now for the fact that natural disasters across the country are going to get a lot worse. And that is a rare admission of the effects of climate change from the current US administration. In fact, last week, the intergovernmental Arctic Council, which is made up of eight Arctic countries and regional groups, including the United States couldn't reach a consensus after its latest meeting, reportedly because the US delegation didn't want its priorities statement to include language about climate change. I'm Ali would. And that's marketplace tech. This is APN. Over the past few months you've been hearing divided decade our year long project covering the great recession, and it's ongoing impact.

News in Brief 12 December 2018
"This is the news in brief from the United Nations in a resolution endorsing a plan to address the Iran nuclear deal. The Security Council heard the latest report on its implementation, which asked the Iranian government to carefully. Consider the concerns of Member States regarding its activities represented by under secretary general for political affairs. Rosemary dicarlo mister Gutierrez welcomed the reaffirmation by the sinu- Tories to the joint comprehensive plan of action J C P O, a as it's formerly known which he said demonstrates successful multi-lateralism in a major achievement of nuclear non-proliferation dialogue and diplomacy though. He regretted that the United States has reimposed sanctions on the country after withdrawing from the plan in may the plan is intended to eliminate Iran's use and stockpiling of nuclear materials and as highlighted by mister Gutierrez should also deliver tangible economic benefits to the Iranian people. Misty Carlos said Iran has carried out ballistic missile tests since John. This year and reportedly carried out missile launches in Syria in October. The UN secretary are has investigated but has been unable to determine whether the missiles were transferred after a council. Resolution endorsing the deal came into effect for the first time ever the world is recognizing and international day to raise awareness of the need to have strong and resilient health systems for all regardless of where you live the UN proclaimed, December twelve as international universal health coverage day you h c day exactly a year ago in a call for advocates to stand up for the millions of people still in need of health coverage. And in a move to ensure the world sees universal healthcare by the twenty thirty sustainable development goals deadline. This came five years after the UN general assembly endorsed, a resolution urging countries to accelerate their progress toward universal coverage driving home the idea that everyone everywhere should have access to quality Affordable Care secretary. General. Antonio Gutierrez said. Good health is crucial to achieving the twenty thirty agenda and called it a fundamental human right tragically. This is not the case for half the world's population. He lamented in his statement for the day and said each year one hundred million people are driven into poverty because care costs far more than they can afford on a positive note. He noted many countries have set an example through their health service systems and through their universal coverage have demonstrated the link between investing in health and economic growth and the reduction of poverty and while reaching an international agreement on climate action at the crucial cop twenty four climate conferences complex, the UN. Chief has warned the one hundred ninety seven participating nations that a failure to do. So would not only be immoral. It would be suicidal in a return visit to the conference on Wednesday. Thousands of climate action decision makers advocates and activists have taken part in cut the V chip Poland with the objective of moving the two thousand fifteen. In Paris agreement forward where countries pledged to limit global warming to less than two degrees celsius key, political issues remain unresolved mister guitar said, but we are running out of time in my opening statement to this conference one week ago. I warned that climate change is running faster than we are in that cat Davicce must in no uncertain terms. Be a success as a necessary platform to reverse this trend. The UN chief cited in alarming scientific report on global warming issued in October by the intergovernmental panel on climate change the IPC C, which indicates that if global temperatures of two degrees celsius or more is maintained. It would be a disaster for the planet. He stressed that each nation faces its own challenges, but called on delegates and ministers to overcome their national preferences and work together to finish the job Natalie Hutchison, U N news.
Climate Cast
Study: Ocean warming suggests faster climate change timetable
"Support for climate cast comes from Bank of America financing clean energy initiatives and advancements in renewable energy and spurring innovation in and the growth of environmentally focused companies markets and jobs Bank of America, NA member FDIC gross climate, scientists no more than ninety percent of earth's warming has been going into the oceans, what has changed with this study. It's been on for while the most of it goes there, but how much is that? And they have up to our estimates of what that total amount is by a considerable amount. And is this a matter of better ways to measure that contribution the Argo floats that we see in the ocean that no has deployed. How are we getting these new numbers? So obviously the oceans are hard to measure, especially at depth. And what these researchers did is they inferred how much they've warmed up by the response of the atmosphere because when the ocean heats up it releases gases, so that's what they actually measured. And so it's a separate way of measuring the warming of the ocean. This paper seems to point. Out that the oceans have been a carbon sink, we know that that store carbon. But that that carbon can be released back into the atmosphere is that one of the takeaways. I don't think that's the principal concern the oceans are central in the carbon system, but what's happening here is that the oceans are also sort of thermal repository, they they take in heat, and there's an nursery there on terms of when they express that fully in a way that we would notice. And so with the researchers are are saying is that they've been taking up more than we think, and that means that more of the total heat. It's getting trapped by comedy sticking around in the your system. Maybe not where we thought maybe in some cases, buried deep deep in the ocean. But it's there, and it's going to have an impact. And we might still be waiting for part of the impact talk about the scientists who did this work. Are they considered to be among the top folks in the field? We did a number of interviews and comments. For this story on not only with the researchers scientists at Princeton and scripts institution, though, Chicago and others, but with their peers outside commenters who are not directly involved in the research, and we got a lot of praise for this study. We didn't get anyone saying this is bad work. And at the same time, we got a lot of concern saying, this is bad news from other scientists Chris is, you know, many scientists have been critical that the IPC reports are too conservative in their predictions for warming is this another piece of evidence that supports faster warming scenario. It supports a faster warming scenario. We can't take one piece of evidence as these story the strength of the reports is that they look at all evidence. And so you will get a future ABC report that will be weighing this against all the other evidence. And in fact, this study is in dialogue with the work of the IPC. It's actually saying that the. The last one of their reports the SEC is the UN body that is the official assessor of the state of climate science. What this study is saying is the IPC put out this number for how much the oceans are warming. Well, we think it's off by sixty percent. And so the IBC's the next time is going to have to take that into account and explain why it's wrong or else update its conclusion, you said you've talked to some scientists about this study. What's the reaction been the reaction is two things one? It's a very good and clever way to try to independently test. How much the oceans of warmth since that's kind of a key issue in the Oklahoma change debate. But it difficult one. And then two if it's right, then yes, this is an upgrading of our a level of concern because it means things might be farther along than we think have you had time to talk about this with any policymakers in Washington nod at this time, the study's been out for a couple of hours in general. We do try to bounce, you know, found so what we're hearing. About the state of climate science off of not just other scientists and to go to the and other places for comment. I recently did a panel with the administrator of NASA Breitenstein, and he actually accepts human caused climate change, and is sort of drawn a con not in maybe intentionally, but there's a contrast that's been shown between him and other members of the Trump administration because of that. So we definitely talk the policymakers. But in this particular case, I haven't seen any policymaker reaction at this time. I'm thinking of the medical studies that come out in Chris you, and I watch these studies come out on different elements of climate science as news consumers and voters. What are we to make of each new significant study like this as a reporter, how do you think about that? You know, it's it's always the difficulty. We don't cover every study. We don't remotely coverage study. They're far too many at the same time. If you've been doing this long enough you. Get to know when a studies really weighty, really significant. I would say that this one had that feel to it. But it's rare. But it does happen, you know, in, and I think that for what we try to do is we try to put the studies in context of of what we know and other findings and try to explain how knowledge is evolving in this case, what's basically happening is we're still trying to understand we aren't fully sure just exactly how much warming we're going to get forgiven level of carbon monoxide. That's that's one of the, you know, still alive issue in the climate change debate. And that's, but we also know that were quite close to certain targets like one point five degrees celsius warming in two degree celsius warming. And so we're still trying to figure out how much time how many emissions intil. Gone what some people would say too far. And this is a study that definitely informs that question. So big picture elevator speech for this study. What would you say? The biggest takeaways are the ocean is a enormous repository of heat. And it's the number one place that global warming is reflected, but we've had a hard time getting a full sense of the scale of that impact. Now, we're learning that impact could be could be quite large larger than we thought. And that it might be something that steers the whole planet faster than we thought towards higher levels warming. Chris Mooney with the Washington Post. A great insight today. Thanks for sharing your reporting. Good to talk to you.
