"Or ideologies so in the same way that stalin set themselves up as a super authority. So did charlie rose at cbs. Charlie with charlie rose. It was truth if someone else said he did. Something wrong wasn't true because he was a neidl. He was unquestioned and unquestionable and it was only just like when the when there were enough enough of a critical mass of people to overcome that idolatry in the ancient world or in in hopefully in monotheistic religions that then those titles can be toppled and and that's it otherwise idolatry in this granting of super authorities superpower is unfortunately all over the place right in our political system on campuses where people just told whatever the guiding theory is. And that's what they're supposed to believe it's on the far right and on the far left right. And it's a tragedy into the bible still hasn't succeeded in that sense of overcoming and giving us the tools to overcome over companies lies about our well. I still think that just to just to give you a little bit of pushback. I still think these. I think these examples of tyrannical rulers that you are drawing from our history of the world is is fairly recent when you take into account the history of human evolution. I mean almost. All of our great thinkers throughout the various mediums of science agree Based on the evidence provided to us today that That are homo sapiens species when i say homeless space homo sapiens species. I'm talking about us. The modern human being That the that we broke off from our neanderthal ancestors roughly a hundred thousand years ago and yet we have the bible that claims the fall of adam happened four thousand b c so roughly six thousand years ago. I mean this is incredibly misleading. To the the bible was written choose left egypt sir. Twelve fifty before the combinator. So that was an and the judaism is is that the exodus is if you will three thousand two hundred shares old. It's gone on say that again because in two hundred years old personally i think the first eleven chapters the bible or are allegorical. And i think i really think that. That's what the bible says. And i go into that detail. I don't think that the that we were ever expected. And if you look at if you look for example hebrew scholars or someone. We think that the bible is the world is fifty eight hundred twenty two years old but there are also plenty plenty of folks who thought they. The earth is much older. I mean rabbi slack avocado thought. The world is about fifteen point. He computer was fifteen point. Three billion years old. Yeah yeah marini but bringing said resent billions if we bring it closer to home and what i mean by that. I'm just talking about homo sapiens. Yes because homo. Sapiens is just one species of the humanoid family right. There's right i mean you got the and with she got denisovans. You've got home erectus. You've got all kinds of other human species that so far as we know right now and again. I'm not drawing stuff from the sky. These are things that have been corroborated by peer reviewed scientists all across all all fears of science all the great thinkers of today agree for the most part that homo sapiens we thinking creatures k the ones that have sort of broken off from the andrew fall ancestors that the homo sapiens our rougher hundred thousand years old one hundred thousand years old and so when you start modern may modern mattis dust years old. It's a long time well at modern exactly so me. i'll give. I'll give fifty. But i mean when when when when people out there today with with advance instruments and technology that can carbon date and can do all these things and measure the things with with with a cute accuracy. You know so much so that nobody in in in their in their rational mind can refute. Its profundity you could because there's just over right. So i guess i guess world is a lot older than fifty eight hundred years all right and so not to you know not to dwell on this point of the golden rule and. When did it arrive and things like that. You're saying that the golden rule came with the advent of the bible. I'm saying i'm not so sure about that. I mean because even if you're saying that the bible is twenty thousand years thirty thousand years old which again. That's that's gonna be a tough claim to make because all of your theologians out there and biblical scholars and christian apologists agree That the fall of adam was Roughly four thousand. Abc's so four thousand abc plus two thousand twenty us. Modern humans are only Roughly thousand years Six thousand years old. I mean again if you if you just flip open. The king. James version of the bible in the title page There in the and in the beginning it has a chronology of the major events in the bible so it starts with the fall of adam. Four thousand four thousand bc it has flooded the the the flood it has scrapped the scattering of israel. All those major events is chronicled in there and it says that the fall of adam so the reason why pointing at the fall of adam. Because that's kind of win. That's the beginning of the human family that according to the bible the bible story six thousand years ago was the beginning of the human family k the human family that god created which is absolutely ridiculous because we know now through modern technology and modern science and the data that's been collected over the last few years You know few hundred years that humans an actually are homo. Sapiens species. The ones that broke off from neanderthal ancestors. We're only one hundred thousand. One hundred thousand years old k and again the the human the human species some came is is is two million two point three million years also. I'm not even talking about the age of the world here the age of the universe. I'm bringing it closer to home. And i'm just talking about the human family. Okay again. humans so other species like neanderthals down sevens homo erectus. Homo florian says all these other species of humans that we've now identified and chronic cold and have proven with with unsubstantial with with substantial evidence. They've been around for a long time and our modern species the human the homeless sapien. As we know today the modern man like you were saying earlier. We've been around for hundred thousand years but yet the bible claims that's that humans have only been around for six thousand years so again. That's what i'm talking about lever. These was a great scholar. Lived well before carbon fourteen day carbon dating and he thought he'd rather yitzhak of i thought that the world was fifteen point. Three billion years old at that they're sent. The earth is very very much older and this is an inquiry and have the struggle that we did and scott. Just so you know your your connections kind of choppy. But i think we gather pretty much the gist of what you're saying but What i what i wanted to say. It's just kind of wrap up on this particular subject and then we'll go onto another one that i need to get out before out of tire so in conclusion for this particular part of our conversation you are making the claim that the old testament for the most part is an allegory. We should it be taken.

"It's like you don't really pronounce tea. It's more like clap. Lowly the way they describe it was like sid in ice age and the way he sort of has a lisp. If you put your tongue right behind your teeth but really technically. It's a little bit above that. Like in between your teeth on the roof of your mouth and then breathe around plateau. Early cia totally close enough. I mean that's about as good as we can do. I think since we don't have that sounded our language. It's very difficult. But i think most people are probably just going to pronounce it plot or just taught or law or something. Certainly most people aren't going to go through the effort of trying to figure out that this is a non watt word pronounce it the correct way but it is fitting because both of our interviews in this episode. Speak languages that most people don't speak so i think they would appreciate this dinosaur name. The species name galore is also a combination of two things. It's for the garza and lopez family. The gop heart is the garza family. Laura is the lopez family. So it's the garza. Lopez family species. Nice yeah they decided to honor them because they were involved with the discovery and the collection of flatow office so plot was found in coahuila mexico like of dinosaurs that we talked about lately in the cerro del pueblo formation and i should be rolling that are capable. It's from the upper campaign. Which makes it about seventy three million years old and therefore about the same age as pariser office it was actually originally found in two thousand and five and back then they just discovered part of the tail and figure that it was probably from a hadrosaur entire to tell much from part of a tail. Yeah but i guess there was enough there to guess that it was probably a hairdresser and that might be why they didn't come back for another eight years because hadrosaurs aren't usually the most exciting dinosaurs that people rushed to dig up as cows of the cretaceous. I still think of a more horses but yes twenty thirteen. They did end up going back. And when i say they it was actually two teams together in a joint expedition and it was the mexican national institute of anthropology and history and the national autonomous university of mexico that went to collect the tail. Lot of joint efforts. Here we've got the joint species name and the two different teams good team effort for this dinosaur. Yes as i thought it was interesting that it was an anthropology institute that was helping. I think there is a lot of overlap between anthropology or at least archaeology side of it in paleontology since you're digging stuff up and being careful with it so as the researchers expected they did end up finding a great tale and it was worth going back for for sure but they didn't find much of the limbs or abdomen and i guess we're lucky that they kept looking out a little bit farther and ended up finding that amazing skull which is almost entirely complete. Wow it is also the most complete lambda serene ever found in mexico and it has quite a few unique features in its head. In fact all of the unique features that they describe are in the head. They don't even really bother to talk about the tail at all in the paper. I'm sure there will be subsequent. Studies seems like a really good fossil to give us a better idea of what certain kinds of dinosaurs may have sounded like. Yeah yeah. I have a fun fact. That's a little bit about that. Went into how we know. Dinosaurs sounded like but even though they don't include the tail. The head is a lot to talk about. So yeah they don't really need to talk about it and just like with a lot of hadrosaurs. The body itself doesn't have a ton of unique features so the head is really where it's at at least with because they tend to have those big fancy head crests. So that's basically where the action is. I also think it's probably the second longest had resort crest. After perilous. So most lambie is orlando koreans have crests the eyes and snout and they sort of stick more upright sorta like they're wearing a top hat or something general anti dinosaurs they do look pats the deadly fancier than the serology regular heads but perilous and plot office both have crests that extend well behind their head and have a pretty different. Look in fact when you're looking at all the other hours and then you look at titus. You mostly earliest. I think was that bent backwards. Like was it supposed to be sticking up out of his head and pushed back and ended up looking in a more flattened or something. Yeah yeah sticking behind its head whereas usually they stick more upright which is what we see spinosaurus and all that kind of stuff where it's like the taller stegosaurs. All these animals seem to want to be as tall as possible to look bigger. Look more impressive. Sticking something off the back of the head doesn't really serve that purpose quite as well. But i suppose then it sort of like horns or something where it's just a big fancy structure so the full skull on plot office is about one hundred and four centimeters or three feet five inches long which is pretty big but it's not as big as perilous office. How much is the crest so about a quarter of that which is about twenty seven centimeters are a little less than a foot is the crest that is behind the head so much crest it is but really the the crest starts at the tip of the snout so it's essentially the creswell runs. The length of the entire length is just that you know in the back. it's only crest. There's no other skull bits. I just keep thinking because it's comma-shaped that it's got it's basically a giant punctuation head. Yes also the first thing i thought of when i saw was that sort of high loose hair bun which is apparently sometimes called like volleyball bun or like i was trying to look up the name of this type of bun. But it's like if you on the top of your head and you sort of fan it out a little bit and it has like khushi look to in. It's sort of like that where it's like tighter near the head and then it kind of fans out and then goes back and sort of droops a little bit..

"When they uncovered something amazing buried in the sandstone was skeleton of a young woman. She was small around three and a half feet tall and when she was alive she would have weighed just over sixty pounds but she was remarkable because she looked like a cross between a human and chimpanzee in she was more than three million years old. The skeleton nicknamed lucy belong to a species of primates named australopithecus aferensis. They were omnivorous intelligence and probably covered with hair basically. They were bigfoot but smaller. If australopithecus had survived the creature might have learned how to hide from it's more aggressive cousin homo sapiens. It could have grown in size and adapted to the climate of the pacific northwest eventually becoming sasquatch however in nature. Bigger isn't always better. Think about how much food one hundred fifty pound person eats on a daily basis. Now imagine wing five hundred or a thousand pounds. It's a lot because of this. Many people have wondered how a sasquatch could survive during winter when food is scarce and bears. They don't seem to hibernate. Meaning they'd have to scavenge all year round. Statistically a few would die from starvation in humans would find their bodies. But that hasn't happened. Anyone who wants to track deep into the canadian wilderness as welcome to search but the truth is nature covers her tracks fairly quickly in a rain. You place like the pacific northwest body could completely disappear in a matter of.

"A new study claims there's evidence of recent volcanic activity on the red planet mars with images showing eruptions that could have taken place within the past fifty thousand years which is pretty much the prison dane geological time. The findings were reported in the journal acres based on satellite observations showing geologically recent explosive organism. In the least implementatiion region which would be the youngest known volcanic eruption ma is most vulcan is among the red planet is thought of occurred between three and four point six billion years ago with some smaller eruptions in isolated locations continuing perhaps as recently as three million years ago. But until. now there's been no evidence to indicate with the mask could still be volcanically active today than the study's lead author. David horvath from the pantry. Science institute says new images show mysterious dark deposit covering an area slightly larger than the city.

Two months quakes identified by inside have been localized to the region around cerberus. Fosse and recent work has suggested the possibility that these could will be due to the movement of magma depth. But it's the apparent age of this deposit which absolutely raises the possibility that it could still be volcanic activity our minds. And so it's intriguing. That recent mars quakes detected by the insight mission have been sourced to the same region however sustaining magna the surface of mars. So late in march and history with no associated lava flows would be difficult and so that suggest a deep magmatic source would probably be needed to create this eruption over at says about kenneth deposits sanchez. This also raises the possibility for habitable conditions the surface of mars in recent history the interaction of ascending magma and the icy substrate in this region could have provided favorable conditions for microbial life fairly recently if such life ever existed on mars and so it raises the possibility of existant life in this region.

"Ruggeri i'm gregory from illinois and i was wondering what were the causes of like ancient ancient warming periods compared to what's going on now what caused him back then and what is the real cause now compared to those warming periods. Okay well we've seen periods of great warmth. The vulcan ism there have been times when Asteroid struck the world creating global winter which lasted for years even decades and then all of a sudden the the the wildfires that resulted from this on all continents fill the atmosphere with methane and carbon dioxide which was effectively woman in the world but because the sun was blocked out. They were those. Greenhouse gases constituted latent greenhouse warming it was masked when the skies cleared the temperature of the world rose quickly surged it was an unrestrained through. That's called kickback. Climate change and it's the kind of thing that that we still talk about to this day if you had a series of climate altering volcanic glass that set the temperature of the world back but thirty or forty years. You burn fossil fuels. You'd be adding latent greenhouse warming the system that would. then get you as kickback. Climate change when the skies cleared in. That woman was then exposed. So there there are factors that that you know dr this about fifty million years ago The earth was much warmer than it is now and the carbon dioxide content was higher for some a little stronger now than it was then. So if we had you know compositional parody with the Fifty million year period. Then you're talking about a temperature that would be a little bit warmer. The pleistocene three million years ago was warmer then now and we are moving quickly toward playa. Seem like condition. Steve how does it. Crashing asteroid cool the climate for decades. The what it doesn't live in the into the air. And it can catalyze vulcan ism which throws act and dust into the air and all of these simultaneously occurring processes can cause the skies to be docking blocking up the sun creating cooling conditions. But last you know ten twenty thirty forty years and all of a sudden. The sky is clear that stuff settles out of the atmosphere. And you get all of these greenhouse gases resulting from fire and geologic mayhem To to bake the world but we have the power now as humans to reverse this now right.

It's worth i think trio one caring his fringe His my my idea was concern if we throat aerosols into the stratosphere stratospheric aerosol injection dispersal We can mimic the cooling effects of volcanic glass.

I want to ask a question about the blocking this. It's obviously a highly contentious issue. And i i in this context. Perhaps we can talk a little bit about zero and some of the alleged. I'm sorry sarah. Why did i say sierra. That's that was. That was a slip zero. Somebody that's here today right. We're talking about cernan. And obviously the hadron collider and some of the me be nefarious activity. That's been alleged to go been going on there in terms of an effort to open up portal. So we're hearing from both sides here. I think what you're saying is that there may be an effort on the part of some governments ours included to block the openings of these feel a magnet. And i believe you mentioned there were about nine around the planet it that heavily forever lieutenant philip course. Who did the book. The day after roswell He talked to me from his original manuscripts and he actually showed me that he had sedona and he had places that you would delphi places. That seem natural around. The world would make sense but he was putting a military inside our government knowledge that places that have had active interaction throughout history. The government considers to be these natural collapsing. Magnetic field points on the natural is an article one of them and was on colonel courses list but knowing what i know. I'm bringing you something going on there. Yes yes in that regard you will if it was thirteen million thirty three million years ago. That was the last time that antarctica had no no snow and ice and it's debated what an even wear was australia. Because god wanna land you go back a few million years. And that's when all of the cotton it's were together and kept spreading over a period of time and one of the whistle blowers talking me about this at the whole issue of where was antarctica. Win the extra terrestrial. Huge structures were built on that land. Mass could have been further. North could have been up from where it is now and the idea of our planet being this unstable and that were antarctica is with extraterrestrial architecture and artifacts one and a half to two miles of ice data on and that the only way the whistle blower types get in there is by summary and that there is a place that the submarines can go and enter architecture. One and a half to two miles underneath is and that means as one of the marines has been there and has been involved in this artifact removal which really makes them feel badly. This guy's still are like the way we remember. The united states where a report of structure a mile or two long under one and a half to two miles deep of ice would have been naturally reported maybe in the eighteen hundreds to the united states. My god here is a discovery but in the twenty first century the attitude is it can't be reported because it will automatically open up proof that hamas sapien sapien is not the first humanoid doing any kind of farming or structure on this planet. Why should that be something. That governments are so afraid of. Yeah why can't we simply be told. There may have been four five six seven civilizations on this planet right and we just happened to be the latest one. Why not tell everybody. And maybe in the telling of that truth humans might look at each other completely differently as something to be cherished not destroy absolutely tribal warfare might fade away if every single person looked at another person as wow we are the latest life forms. Maybe there is some reason why we should cherish the life that is here now and not be destroying it with guns involved therein. I'm afraid limo and how lies perhaps the answer. All of the things that a person of Made of love like you and altruism and for all the years that you have spent digging to the truth hunter i think but not for the sake of novelty but to bring us together to realize who we really are the true nature of reality perhaps it. It's hard to fathom that there would be any group of us that would not want to see all of those elements that you just brought out happened. But i'm afraid that there may be that That aspect we were talking off air about a perhaps a mandate we've heard talk of mandates of secrecy given to agencies around the globe. Not as a sort of secret agreement between one another but perhaps coming from some of the non human intelligences themselves on that if you would know we're going in a direction that i had not planned but this is what i love about when ever we get together and so many different directions so let's stay on that for the moment a very good question. Actually i think all the way back to when i was working at. Hbo project in one thousand nine hundred ninety three. I had a discussion with somebody who was very active military and was involved in what was going to be the interface between me and seeing that film of alleged landing down in southern new mexico and exchange of bodies technology. All of that was the context. In which i talked with this person and they raise it like a hypothetical but i took it as they are actually telling me something and what he said was you.

I know housing gonna get filled up with lusse buried in their listen. This is ridiculous. Yeah furthermore carlos directly compared his toxic femur with femurs of toxic species for more recent formations and observed. The femur from miramar is on the whole smaller and more slender. He then reported more details. Showing how the femur he found in the late. Pleistocene of miramar differed from that of toxic on burma of more recent pumpkin levels. Carlos described the stone point found embedded in the femur. This is a flake of quartzite obtained by percussion a single blow and retouched along. Its lateral edges but only on one surface and afterward pointed at its two extremities by the same process of re- touch giving it the form approximating a willow leaf therefore resembling the double points of these salou trian type. By all of these details. We can recognize that. We are confronted with a point of the mouse. Sterian type of the european paleolithic period. So i guess the salute trian points are part of the mouse julian in groups. But this was in argentina. Okay that such a point should be found in a formation dating back as much as three million years provokes serious questions about the version of human evolution presented by the modern scientific establishment which holds that three million years ago.

"It might have been a primitive hand axe used for hammering or chopping and he also found tools he thought were adapted for stabbing boring and engraving so he concludes at the end of the miocene. There was here culture which was as we can see from its flint tools not in the very beginning phases but had already preceded through a long period of development. This miocene population knew how to flake and worked flint and he went on to say the size of the implements points toward a being with the hand of the same size and shape as our own and therefore a similar body the existence of large scrapers choppers that fill our own hands and above all the perfect up to the hand found. Almost all of the tools seems to verify this conclusion to the highest degree. Wow that's cool all right man. That's miocene yes. I mean yeah middle miocene. Yeah five to twenty three million years. Yeah so he was saying to middle miocene for these tools. So we're looking around ten million years old crazy. Yeah that's pretty crazy. Yeah and it's like. I keep bringing this up but none of this evidence is in modern literature about this stuff anymore and are there. Good reasons for that you know. That's the question like have they. Have they have these really been shown not to be tools or have they just ignore them and they're able to keep ignoring the because it's old he talks about. How like the ribeiro guy that dude's evidence they had to track it down through multiple. You know i. They're finding little hints and they're like well what they follow the reference for that and another place where the guy where somebody is like a brief sentence about it and slams it they follow that reference and they keep doing it until they come up with a bunch of a bunch of papers from the late eighteen hundreds about these guys fines so i mean how many scientists now even know about these discovery. Probably not many. Yeah dan i want them to know or at least check it out you know. Try to verify it. Yeah and the watchers pointing out. Just go back there and digs more. Yeah exactly right right and yeah. That'd be the best way to do it. Yeah i agree like looking through these old papers and say all right. Let's go check this out. let's go. Let's go through that foot limestone. Find a place where it's not cracked and let's see if we can find some some tools. Yeah that's that's really cool. Yeah watchers pointing out that. They had big. You know they had conferences. Yeah congress were a whole bunch of people looked at these things and they would they. Would they would assign special commissions to say like are these actual tools in these in a lot of kate in the cases that they're bringing up..

"At the very least implements or late pleistocene in age but according to present evolutionary theory one should not expect to find signs of tool making humans in england at two to three million years ago. The implements themselves were a matter of extreme controversy. Many scientists thought them to be products of natural forces rather than have human work nevertheless more had many influential supporters. these included henry. Braley who are. Let's see henry. Yeah i'll go with that. Who personally investigated the sites. He found in. Moore's collection and apparent sling stone from below the red crag another supporter was archibald geeky respected geologist and president of the royal society. And yet another survey lancaster director of the british museum lancaster identified among moore's specimens representative type of implement. He named rostro karen eight. This word calls attention to two prominent characteristics of the tools rostro refers to the beak like shape of the work working portion of the implements and kate refers to the sharp keel like prominence running along part of their dorsal surface. Lancaster presented a detailed analysis of what he called. The norwich test specimen particularly good example of the rostro care type of implement it was discovered beneath the red crag at whittingham near norwich. If the norwich test specimen is from below the red crag you would be over two point five million years old. The norwich test specimen combined a good demonstration of intentional work with clear strategy graphic strata graphic position. Lancaster wrote in a royal anthropological institute. Report in nineteen fourteen. It is not possible for anyone acquainted with flint workmanship and also with the non human fracture of flint to maintain that it is even in a remote degree possible that the sculpturing of this norwich test flint was produced by other than human agency. Lancaster thought tools of this type might be of miocene age. Now have to point out to the. I guess at this time they weren't thinking of all of these other hominids. Yeah they didn't have evidence for any of them right right at this time so doesn't have to be human doesn't have to be safe shape. Yeah but hamad hamad. Human human right may not be comma sapien sapiens. But i think. I mean would you say in the. Nfl was a human. I don't know how it's classified. Yeah.

Although 15 past familiar measure for you know they've been able to deduce the numbers way back then, and I wondered about the temperature the temperature is going up. And so, um, um and I looked at Looked at Some of the predictions. It's not higher than three million years right now. But it's going up rapidly and Um, the models. Climate change models can make predictions of what the temperature will be in 2100, okay? And I found that its 4.5 degrees C higher than then. Now, okay, that if if, if The greenhouse gasses are unabated if we don't if we don't do anything to control them. It's that much of a rise in temperature. Consist higher than we've ever been in. In a million years. Okay, so that means that If the models right and that's the question Then by 2180. The Earth will be entering a period It hasn't been in one million years.

10 years to transform the future of humanity -- or destabilize the planet
"Ten years is a long time for US humans on Earth. Ten turns around the Sun. When I was on the Ted. Stage a decade ago I, talked about planetary boundaries that keep our planet in a state that allowed humanity to prosper. The main point is that once you transgress won the risks, start multiplying the planetary boundaries are all deeply connected but climate alongside bio-diversity, our core boundaries they impact on all others. Back then we really thought we had more time. The warning lights were on absolutely, but no unstoppable change had been triggered. Since mytalk, we have increasing evidence that we are rapidly moving away from the safe operating space for humanity on earth, climate has reached a global crisis point. We have now had ten years of record breaking climate extremes, fires blazing, Australia set area California, and the Amazon floods in China Bangladesh and India. During heatwaves across the entire northern, hemisphere we risk crossing tipping points that shift the planet from being our best resilient friend dampening are impacts to start working against US amplifying the heat. For the first time, we are forced to consider the real risk of destabilizing the entire planet. Our children can see this they are walking out of school to demand action looking with disbelief at our inability to deviate away for potentially catastrophic risks. The next ten years to twenty thirty must see the most profound transformation. The world has ever known. This is our mission. This is the countdown. When my scientific colleagues summarized about a decade ago for the first time, the state of knowledge on climate tipping points just one place had strong evidence that it was on a sears downward spiral. Arctic Sea ice. Other tipping points were long way off fifty four hundred turns around the Sun. Just. Last year, we revisited these systems in I got the shock of my career. We are only a few decades away from an Arctic without since summer in. Permafrost is now thawing at dramatic. Scales Greenland is losing trillions of tons of ice and may be approaching a tipping point. The great force of the North are burning with plumes of smoke, the size of Europe. Atlantic Ocean circulation is slowing the Amazon rainforest is weakening and may start emitting carbon within fifteen years. Half of the Coral Great Guy Wreath has died west Antarctica may have crossed the tipping point already today, and now the most solid of glaciers on earth east Antarctica parts of it are becoming unstable. Nine out of the fifteen big biophysical systems that regulate climate are now on the move showing worrying signs of decline in potentially approaching tipping points. Tipping Points Bring Three threats I sea level rise, we can already expect up to one meter this century. This will endanger the homes of two, hundred million people. But when we add the melting is from Antarctica and greenland into the equation, this might lead to a two meter rise. But it won't stop there. It will keep on getting worse. Second if our carbon stores like permafrost enforced flipped to belching carbon, then this makes the job of stabilizing temperatures so much harder and third these systems are all linked like dominoes. If you cross one tipping point, you lurch closer to others. Let's stop for a moment and look at where we are. The foundation of our civilization is a stable climate and the rich diversity of life everything I mean everything is based on this civilization has thrived and a goldilocks zone not too hot not too cold. This is what we have had for ten thousand years since we left the last ice age. Let's zoom out a little here three million years. Temperatures have never broken through the two degree Celsius limit. Earth has self regulated within a very narrow range of plus two degrees in a warm into glacial minus four degrees. Defy. Sage. Now we are following path that would take us to a three to four degree world. In just three generations, we would be rewinding the climate clock, not one, million, not two million, but five to ten million years we are drifting towards hothouse earth. For. Each one degree rise one billion people will be forced to live in conditions that we today largely consider uninhabitable. This is not a climate emergency. It is a planetary emergency. My fear is not that Earth will fall over a cliff on the first of January twenty thirty. My fear is that we press unstoppable buttons in the Earth System.
The Science Show
Humans Have Caused the Most Dramatic Climate Change in 3 Million Years
"Recently Assad with some research colleagues at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, a look at a brand new science article in which are climate model for the first time had recreated the climate on earth over the last three million years, which covers the entire geological pleistocene epoch. The Pleistocene is so important as it constitutes a point of reference for life on. Earth. Because although sure our planet has existed for four point, five, billion years it's only in the last million years. That earth has looked at least roughly in the way as we know it, the continents were roughly where they are today. The North and South Poles were covered with ice. The atmosphere had a similar chemical composition to what we have today. Planet, Earth. Our earth has only existed for three million years. All, comparisons further back in time are quite meaningless. And the manuscript I hold in my hand is not just reaching. My brain is also striking straight into my heart. A deep humility settles in when look at the graph showing the variations in mean global temperature on earth over the past three, million years it shows that we have never throughout the whole plasticine exceeded two degrees global warming compared to our pre industrial average temperature of approximately fourteen degrees. Never. This means that Earth despite all the stresses and natural shocks from fluctuations and Solar Radiation Volcanic eruptions, asteroid impacts and earthquakes has regulated itself within an incredibly narrow range minus four degrees. Celsius were in deep ice age plus two degree Celsius. We're in a warm interglacial period lasting three million years. It's absolutely incredible. Especially since we know why. It's earth's ability to self regulate the ability of the oceans to absorb and store heat the ability of the ice sheets to reflect solar radiation the ability of the forests to absorb carbon dioxide and the ability to be a safe and store greenhouse gases. The planet is a biophysical self playing piano whose music sheet stays. Within the minus four plus to scale. If that is not caused for humidity than I do not know what humidity is. And a deep concern in hundred and fifty years. In the geological blink of an eye, we risk now tearing this Planetary Symphony to shreds. Let that sink in. The global average temperature is now changing hundred and seventy times faster than over the last seven thousand years and it's doing. So in the wrong direction upwards when the current orbital forcing meaning are distance to the sun and the current low level of solar activity means that the temperature should in fact, be slowing down. You don't have to be a physicist to understand that we have a problem. Climate skeptics like to argue that historically the climate has fluctuated so much. So why shouldn't it be fluctuating now? Obviously. It fluctuates. But we are now racing towards plus three to plus four degrees warming. Sceptics like to bring up the little ice age the time when Swedish King Call The tenth Gustav Marched His army across the deep frozen great belt and the little belt in sixteen fifty eight to beat the Danes or that the vikings grew grapes in Greenland during the medieval warm period. Yes. Of course, this is true but it all occurred within the natural boundaries of minus four and plus two degrees. And it's here within this sweet spot that we must remain for our own sakes and our future? In August two, thousand, eighteen at the peak of that year's drought and fires in Sweden and Europe. We published a scientific paper where we tried to establish whether we are at risk of pushing the entire planet away from its current state of equilibrium, the Holocene epoch where we have been since the last ice age. This is fundamental. Our Planet Earth can be in three different states. It can be in a deep ice age as it was twenty thousand years ago with large is. Extending over the northern and Southern Hemisphere with over two kilometers of ice above our heads here in Sweden an ice extending as far south as Berlin. This is an equilibrium state as it is not only lower solar radiation that keeps earth in an ice age. It is also the feedbacks caused by ice. As the ice sheets grow earth gets whiter, which means that more more incoming heat from the sun is reflected back to space more ice means it gets colder which means even more is and suddenly you have a self reinforcing mechanism. This is what makes an ice age and equilibrium earth remains. They're not only because of the external forces from the sun but also thanks to these inbuilt biophysical processes in this case, the color of ice. Earth can also be in an interglacial an intermediate state, which is what we have today where was still have permanent is sites at the polls and we have glaciers on land and the biosphere with forests, grasslands, and lakes roughly as Earth as we know it. It is these two equilibrium states and only these two states that the planet has been over the last three million years that is during the entire Pleistocene. But then there is a third state when earth tips over from self cooling feedback loops to self heating feedback loops, which leads to an inevitable journey to becoming a hot tropical planet that is four, five, six, potentially seven, eight degrees warmer than today where in principle, all the ice has gone and the surface of the ocean is more than fifty meters higher than it is today and where the conditions for live is fundamentally different all over the entire planet. This is what we call hothouse earth. Or Highs Zaid hot time in German where the article when we published it drew so much attention doing this burning heat wave in the summer of twenty eighteen that highs Zaid was chosen as the word of the year in Germany. In this research, we tried for the first time to identify the global mean temperature at which we are in danger of tipping over from our current state, the Holocene interglacial, and embarking on a journey that would inevitably take us to highlight our conclusion is that we cannot exclude that the planetary threshold. The tipping point where we kickoff unstoppable processes of self amplified warming is at two degrees. Bear in mind we are today at one point one very mind were moving fast along a path that reaches one point five in potentially only twenty, thirty years and two degrees in forty fifty years. This is one I would argue of the biggest. Challenges of all to test whether we are right. Can the planet cope with or Canet not cope with higher temperatures than two degrees? But. My conclusion based on the knowledge we have today is that the planetary threshold to avoid triggering high Zaid is most likely at two degrees. Of course, it's not so that Earth will fall off a cliff at two degrees. The risk is rather that we would then pass a threshold where the shift towards hindsight would become unstoppable. In other words, we face an urgency at the timeframe whether we pushed the on button on not triggering stoppable warming is within the next few decades meaning essentially. Now, if we pressed the UNBUTTON and kick off the great planetary machinery with feedback loops causing self warming, then the full impacts may play out over three four, five, hundred years before we reach a new equilibrium state hothouse. A planet with over ten meters, sea level rise temperatures, and extreme droughts, floods, and heatwaves making large parts of earth uninhabitable a planet we do not want a planet that cannot support US humans. This requires from us that we understand two different time horizons. The short term time of commitment. When do we push the unbutton but then also the long term time horizon when we have the full impact hitting on people these are different but ethically, I would argue only the trigger moment counts, we cannot leave a damaged planet beyond repair to future generations. So to summarize the decisive moment when we press don't press the button lies within the next ten to twenty years. With consequences for all future generations a moral, bum. Are High site article concluded that degree Celsius is our ultimate planetary threshold that we need to stay away from. This article actually came out six months before our climate modeling showed that we've never exceeded two degrees throughout the whole pleistocene, the last three million years. In Two thousand nine, our planetary boundaries size showed that one point five degrees is a boundary we should not transgress because then we enter a danger zone of uncertainty. So perhaps you do understand my feeling a deep concern of humility in the face of our latest scientific findings, which really only says, one thing tipping points are real and if they're crossed, they lead to unstoppable changes, which requires a new relationship between us and our planet, and that we realize that we are facing a new ethics. What we do today will determine the future on earth for all our children and their children.

Breaking the wrong kinds of records: 2019 state of climate report
"Several climate records were broken in two thousand nineteen across the world including unprecedented temperature highs and extreme weather events ahead of the launch of the World Meteorological Organization's flagship report. Wmo's statement on the state of the global climate in two thousand and nineteen the agency. Secretary-general Patera tell us. Sat Down with Ben Maller from you and news and started by outlining some of the main points from the study. For example we have Highest concentration of carbon dioxide in past three million years and the measurement survey showing that last year. We we again. Having Having Higher Gordon Thracians from carbon dioxide than the previous year. Shame is happening for for me. Which is the second most important greenhouse gas and we have seen the warming of the temperature continued and we have broken several. Reads NOT AMBULATORY COHORTS IN AUSTRALIA? In several West European countries and also elsewhere last year was the warmest euro regard since eighteen fifty. Then we have seen we have stored more than ninety percent of the extra heat. The Ocean send an awesome. Seawater is Is Record warm because of that? And that's giving more. Nfc for the tropical tropical storms sea level rise continues and it has been boosting so we have seen an increase in the sea level rise also also last last year the glacier's melting worldwide. And we have especially been melting the glacier greenland which is contributing to sea level rise and and also the melting. Glaciers are melting and. That's bad news when it comes to Freshwater released to the major rivers Sir in the world come having written from Malaya's absurd and Ian tweets and rocky mountain so that's bad news for the freshwater resources for agriculture and for human beings and industry so all in all climate saints continues and we have also seen a record breaking forest fires like in Australia. It's very had before that record breaking temperatures and android and we have seen also severe drought in in Mexico Caribbean in some parts of Europe and also Southam South African countries. So all in all records have been broken. Bad died records. How confident are you that governments around the world have really caught onto the seriousness of this message so that they could take the right action for sake of the people around the world? I think that the way honest is Is higher than ever but the accent is sir very much missing. Countries made their parish blitzes and to fifteen and that would mean three degrees warming story beyond the parish. One point five two degrees and and and so far. The countries haven't been fulfilling their research glitzy so severe not moving towards one point five to decrease which is the Paris limits north towards three degrees with with the blitzes. The country's made we are moving the worst four to five degrees by the end of the sensory. They're clearly a need for for higher ambition level of if we are serious with climate mitigation. There is a target for all Governments. All the people everybody concerned to try and turn the situation around by the year twenty fifty which is the deadline for that shipment of the sustainable development goals. Is that still realistic with all? These bad records be have also seen but it the development there for example private sector is more and more interested in in in being part of the solution and we have also studying finance sector moving their investments from fossil business to watch the watch more sustainable business and and also the you would movement is putting pressure on governments and and people all around the world. They understand that this is this is perhaps the number one problem that we the mankind is facing today so there are also plenty of good science that the that the that the we have started moving in the right direction actually in the developed countries Last year their missions dropping habits. It's good news. Despite the economic was Was growing and we have been able to solve that you can eat that economic growth from from Damian growth. The but the bad news is that in in the rest of the world missions growing last year. And that's one of the one of the Tennessee so to solve this problem. We have to have all of the countries onboard compare this year to the previously. What would you say in himself? The preparedness by everyone every government every megyn institution to tackle extreme. What within this year so my organization's very much supporting our members to improve their early warning capacity and this kind of early warning of of drought Flooding storm sewer and record temperatures. That's a very powerful way to adapt to climate says this negative trend in climate. We'll continue for the coming decade caged anyhow which means growing out of weather related disasters and and and we have to be prepared for that. And we have to invest in early warning services and it's important to invest also on impact based forecasting for example when when cyclone hitting Mozambique get amid series was able to forecast meteorologist parameters well but impacts of those understood and that's why the disaster was a having lots of casualties and lots of economic losses because the authorities didn't act and the impact was understood so from W. Most side We're happy to help. The country's built their impact based early warning. Service kept musty. Doubly from your stigma just now is having better capacity to alert people in better time to prepare for any disasters. That come is that correct. So we are we are. We are member based organization. We have another nine hundred thousand members of our member. Member hasn't National Meteorology Service and we are very much set. Transform forming the know how from our more developed members are less developed members and we are working together with the financial institutions like World Bank cleaned climate fund and UNDP target more resources for for this kind of capacity development. So the situation is improving all the time but but we still have plenty of countries about half of our member. Countries could improve their performance. Is that too was making Elliot Warning Betta to save lives to save situations to prepare people better. How good is the early warning system improvement over the last year? So we have seen a gradual improvement. That's one of the one of the issues most dealing dealing with and what we've able to forecast the one day before In in the past we can now forecast it even five days in advance and and and countries are much better prepared even in developing countries. We have seen a major major improvement but we are not. We haven't been able to reach the optimization yet. There shouldn't further investments needed by the donors and also by individual governments. And that's very powerful way to adapt and protect economists and and people from the impacts of climate says all of us anywhere around the world. Everybody is preoccupied with the outbreak of Kobe. Nineteen which is leading to significant downturn in economic activity around the world in the same way those trillion fire saw a rise in co two emissions. Is there any silver lining in the way that the world is trying to handle of igniting in the form of any spin offs in terms of lower emissions during this period? Of course Would be very much concern of the casualties that we ever had because of this virus and the story is not over yet so it may have a negative impact on on the global economy. Which is bad news and and we have already seen has having an impact on the on the equality in China for example once they have been closing closing some parts of the country and And there's been less less traffic and less industrial production but the but this is not good news. So all in all. Be Concerned of this Of the casualties related these vitals. And and have you hoped at these outbreak We will be solved and and and we can go back to normal life and keep in mind that the that we still have the major climate. The problem to be solved. So these these spite of these fighters it'll keep continue based for mitigation of climate change.

"In our science fact of the day this just in according to the world meteorological association no you know flaming left wing think tank the a this is the W. ammo the literally the world meteorological association atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide CO two are now at the highest ever in three million years now that is longer than human history human history only goes back a couple hundred thousand years so atmosphere CO two levels right now are higher than when Lucy was around right the the pre human and a higher than when Lucy's ancestors were around getting Lucy was only about a million or so ago all of which means that our children and grandchildren can expect temperatures to continue to rise more extreme weather more sea level rise more destruction to marine life more destruction of land based ecosystems more death of insects and and stuff at the bottom of the food chain which then echoes up so that the birds die and and we're saying this right now you know sixty seventy percent of certain kinds of birds particularly the insect insectivorous birds drawn from our planet we're looking at at at an insect apocalypse right now and and this is just the very beginning we have not yet even hit one point five degrees Celsius increase in temperature over the bass line and the pre industrial base line I mean we're just about there but we haven't quite hit it and the bottom line what what all these climate scientists are saying is is that we have to stop it right there I can't go any farther and yet what is the industry doing right now and and in on the right wing media that is that is supportive of industry while they're making fun of the stuff I mean Michael Mann for example the the the scientist he's been a guest on this program many times as a brilliant easy university of Pennsylvania sciences he's the guy who invented the cop the hockey stick conception of the SCO to going up that Al Gore popularized bed professor of cleans climate science or atmospheric science or whatever it is add to Penn state university one of probably a top five climate scientists in the world Michael Mann me was made fun of by the competitive interest enterprise institute in their blog ran Samberg wrote that well first of all they they attacked Michael Mann they said that his science was nonsense and and that is so Penn state did an investigation because there was all this ball Rollin publicity Penn state did an investigation what they found was that he was totally stand up everything he said was true and the way he said it was fine and though he published it was in compliance with scientific rigorous scientific standards reviews stuff so the compatible devices that is one of these right wing think tanks in quotes it really just a propaganda show operation for industry guy name brand Sandburg wrote that Penn state had quote covered up one two in by Michael Mann and characterize man as quote the Jerry Sandusky of climate science because he had quote molested and tortured data in service of politicized science and then not a blog posted by hosted by the National Review online the national reviews the magazine that William F. Buckley started back in the day when he was alive the saying that the you know the National Review is supporting segregation not just in South Africa but in the United States as well apartheid the National Review still around even though he is gone and they said in the end they oppose this was mark staying he said the man was behind the fraudulent climate change study in the investigation clearing him was a cover up basically and so Michael Landon Jr mattered factions from from the competitive enterprise institute see I am from National Review and instead they naturally you published an op ed by rich Lowry their editor titled get lost well so Matt Michael Mann suit and they just tried to get the lawsuit dismissed and here's the headline this is in the Washington post's Robert Barnes a climate scientists may pursue his definition lawsuit against a magazine in a Washington think tank after the Supreme Court on Monday declined to intervene at this stage of the litigation Sam Alito dissented Sam Mr craze right wing dissented but the the Supreme Court said not spread go ahead and so on it's absolutely amazing I mean this is this is so so here we are we've got more CO two in the atmosphere than at any time in the history of the human race or even the pre human race day in other holidays mmhm more and more CO two in the air our course it takes sometimes as much as a century to that for the CO two in a holding heat and to accumulate to the point where you really start seeing the effects we're already starting to and you've got industry trying to pretend that there's not and there's nothing to see here and making fun of it ridicule and the folks and I've got real scientists were starting to fight back and say no this is real stuff and then the world meteorological organization just comes out and says CO two levels higher than they've ever been
The Naked Scientists
Creepy crawlies, Quarks and Counting
"Now with me to help answer the questions that you're sending us from the University of York behavioral scientists. She works on insects. Eleanor drink water. What have you been up to you telling elements yes. I'm very keen beekeeper and I made the mistake of not zipping up my the other day and and I can tell you that that that was bitterly regretted. The next day is very much a mark of pride among beekeepers but you're not appropriate beekeeper until you've at least one and flexes yeah. That's a bad thing when that happens but if you work with do occasionally gets stung how's it. How's it going the beekeeping fund. We've haven't absolutely lovely queen in one of heights at the moment. The other one's a bit more grumpy so they're a bit more of a it's true what my brother keeps. He says the same thing he said as the Queen's get older odor and also certain colonies just have a particularly aggressive behavior exactly something to do with the Queen's squirting out ramones that keeps everyone calm as the Queen Ages. She makes less all of them. Yes exactly that's that's. That's exactly it in the end the character of the Queen or you know the chemicals that Sheikh producers has a really big impact on on the behavior of all the other bees in the colony so so yeah so if you have a really nasty queen than you can swap out for really friendly Queen and some of the hive becomes a lot more friendly to work with credible. Yes some no. It was much opening unfortunately but yes definitely enough to be getting on with you so any questions you have about insects. Perhaps even bees stings beekeeping. Ask Ask Elinor. Dan Gordon's also with US dance and exercise physiologist is Anglia Ruskin University. He's also a Paralympian and it's going to world record and there was a lot of coverage in recent weeks about athletes using sports drinks and not been terribly good for their dental health. Yes about I think about ten days ago quite solarge raging study that was looking at elite athletes and they reported the dental health and elite athletes was was far far worse than the general population of Oh. The paper didn't fully attributed it to they wanted to make conclusions was they thought it was down to the con- sports drinks that are consumed which mostly these high carbohydrates looked sugar. How's your dentition during you got away with it. I think what an advocate in sports the practitioners do then just because you don't have energy to do the events no and I think in the end what they're really getting exposes has got to be greater scrutiny of the health of the teeth and the athletes when competing one of the things we have to do before we went to the Paralympics. We every athlete have dental check which sounds crazy things the limbic games actually you wouldn't think that teeth of that important but actually the worst thing you can have an. Olympic Games is fake and so one of the things that's really really being advocated. Now is that part of the Athlete Support Program Part of lifestyle management should be to actually monitor the health of the of the teeth warning people there. Is this risk they'll. They'll probably take more. Oh care about washing their mouth outs to get rid of that. I think yeah more used to math clean teeth more regularly for example as part of the training routine not so any questions about exercise exercise physiology how the body works sports and sports fitness. Danny man now next to Dan is friend. Let's see what did the wonderful. Fran is Cambridge University physicist. She is an astrophysicist cosmologists interested in how the universe at large works but you're a stand up. Comedian allows guys right. I'm GonNa do the horrible thing because then tell us a joke I won't do that going. It's going pretty well. I'm in writing a new show at the moment by kind of the philosophy of science and what we're doing when we're doing science so that has been a bit of a step back from the day to day if my research are you poking fun at it or you kind of making light of what life is a scientist and researcher is like is that I'm poking fun at but also I think a serious a serious element over and I hope people will come away knowing a bit more by you know I've been told I'm participating in the scientific typic- methods that I never really examined what that meant until now you're gonNA find out you're also saying to me just before we started about the story that came out earlier this year the first picture of a black hole or rather the first impression of of a black hole and that's going to be made into a movie rather than just a bunch started pictures. Now you're saying yeah that's right so you might remember the event. Horizon Telescope a few months ago published the first image of a black hole or more pedantically the shadow of a black hole support and then I can do a full color movie of the black hole which is going to be really incredible both in terms of what it will teach us about astrophysics in general relativity and also just just super cool you can just you'll be able to watch your black hole on youtube or you could just watch SANTELLI programs which amount to much of the same no content visible whatsoever. Thank you very much so anything to do with how the universe works and space anything that please send those questions in from be happy to consider those also with this bobby seagull who needs relief introduction. He's originally for comb -versities. Mathematician and teaches maths taught teach kismet and actually doing teddy program their movement have new going around the country looking at inventions and things going for those who made a reminder minded is the universe challenge icon the icon of icons. I'm his friend were. You're pretty you're pretty optimistic as well thank you that's very good areas and outgoing outgoing but we had a first series initially looking at a genius guy to Britain's traveling around minicar imagine like top gear meets. Qa but sort of exploring all the curious bits of Britain and the new series is called a genius guy to the age of Invention Sarah can I get back in on minicar go around the UK but this time it's quite chronological so looking from seventeen fifty thousand nine hundred and exploring Britain's discoveries and inventions in that period. Why did you pick that period because it's particularly golden period. There was some of the reason I I think it's the golden nature that period because if you look before that is sort of Britain still pre enlightenment before industrial times and then in that period of seventeen fifty nine hundred lots lots of invention discovers chemistry's discovered physics signed the word sign scientist comes into being Darwin Thompson so lots of great figures of science emerge any particularly stand out moment because there was are when you making telly programs they're always funny things that we never see on screen or or other things that are just well moments that you never thought you'd find yourself doing so so what am I stand up moments as she isn't a stand up moment for me but is a silent moment for the show so we visit the cabinet Cambridge and we get to hold one of the original cathode ray tubes at J J Thomson used. I was too much of a chicken to hold it. No I think it's like someone else's baby you can look at. I admire it but if you want to hold it no no no. I'M NOT GONNA hold the baby the big quite tempting to hold it and they go oops because the same thing sort of happened to me because because when I was in South Africa when I first went to South Africa when I was at a conference in this big American guy came up to me at the conference and he said tomorrow going to pick you up from your hotel and I'm going to take you somewhere and show you something something GonNa Change Your Life forever now. Of course you never met this guy you think I can arrange things and actually he took me to the University of the voters rand in Johannesburg where he's professor of Paleoanthropology. This is Lieber. Who's now been on this program. A number of times in this discovered not one not two but three new species of early human ancestor and he had in this wooden box the university the face the complete facial skeleton of the Taung Child which is the specimen which is the australopithecus holy type in other words all all of the Australia with specimens that we have early human ancestors maybe three million years ago so they're all compared to this one which was discovered by Raymond Dart at about one hundred years ago now and it's really fabulous. They've even got the endo cost the fossil remnant of the brain of this thing and I was holding this in my hands is three million years. Old is the only only one in existence and am I did get tempted to go whoops but Lee was very very cordiality hands undermine all the time. 'cause you think how this is just prices but I know exactly what you mean now for your home. If you guys in the studio we've got a little guess who that we run through these sorts of programs we give you a sequence of clues across the show and as the show unfolds unfolds we give you more of them and the first one. I've got here. It's it's an animal. Give you that much but can you work out. What makes this particular sound okay. That was the sound it makes any clues. you want to hear the other very fussy this lot. They won't hear it again. Okay anyone got any ideas seagull. It's not a bobby seagull. No okay more clues coming up eleanor. Let's kick off with this one view from Marianna. What which is the most intelligent insect do not base because maybe they well okay so I have been asked this before and this is always a really hard question because I am incredibly and I believe that all insects are incredibly intelligent in all sorts of different ways and we haven't even begun to scratch the surface of what insects can do it could be the case that we haven't even discovered the cleverest insect but if I was to choose one based on research about an individual it'll who's pretty clever. It might have to be the bees. I'm afraid some really cool research has shown that bees can tell apart the difference between different painting style so if you showed them a monet and Picasso you can get them to learn the differences and then be able to generalize to other paintings and also prefer. I don't know maybe that'd I'll be a follow up paper. I hope it would also they can tell the difference between people's faces and they can remember a face for two days which is incredible. There was also study that the the researchers at Queen Mary Invest of London published a couple years ago where they showed be another be rolling a ball into a goal and the be that was watching then how to get the B The ball into the into the goal and got a treat yeah it was social learning and more than that they they did a follow on from that which was even more cool so trained on one particular ball and they had other balls in the area which they blew down while they were learning but then in the in the second round they unglued the balls goals and the B. would learn the concept and then would apply it to closeable so then they would perform the same action but on a separate they weren't just learning out this ball goes in in in the hall they they could like generalize which is incredible if you think about it and what else could have favorite insect in the studio. Everyone should the CICADA. I know why you're going to come on prime number years. Don't every thirteen or seventeen years. Carter has emerged don't they they do to minimize the chances of their mating year. Coinciding with predators credited exactly that on a Friday afternoon these cicadas smarter than mice from Friday to look. Maybe even smart in nature eh provocative for Dan favorite insect realize possibly the butterfly just purely because I just love the whole process from Chrysalis the butterfly but actually just the sheer variety of butterflies just it's just mind boggling liotta amazing feats of navigation butterflies and monarch butterflies example all the way from Canada down to New Mexico geico kind of thousands of miles

The History of Continental Drift
"It was one of the earth momentous times continents collided volcano erupted ocean currents shifted species rent a muck twenty million years ago north and south america were arranged in nearly the same positions as they are today the big difference being they were separated by a deep open channel called the central american seaway there is no panama and no need for panama canal because there was clear sailing from atlantic to the pacific the fact that sears is a geologically active planet with shifting crustal plates during the time period between twenty three million years ago the pacific played collided with the caribbean played pushing magnets the surface to make islands in the sea and eventually creating a land bridge between the two continents the movement not only changed the land it disrupted ocean currents open the door to species migrations and probably altered the world's climate when the land bridge closed editorial waters could no longer mix atlantic became saltier in the pacific more dilute creating a gradient the moves water in a giant loop around the globe today worm atlantic water they used a pass through the gap move northward becoming the gulfstream stream scientists believe these changes created a warmer europe and contributed to our recent sick like ice ages the land bridge also open the way for species across from one conscience other dear horses raccoons bears and the camel ancestors of llamas moved south across the bridge at heaters porcupines possums and armadillos move north unfortunately many large south american species couldn't compete with the north american animals and became extinct changing
60-Second Science
Monkey Cousins Use Similar Calls
"This is science Americans sixty seconds science. I'm Karen Hopkin in the wild monkeys need to keep their eyes peeled. For all sorts of dangers like leopards eagles, and snakes, but the green monkey studied by Julia Fischer, the German primate center, an additional challenge. They also have to scan the skies for drones. Why did we find drone off? Green monkeys. One may ask one may indeed. The answer is that Fisher and her colleagues are interested in how primates communicate then a classic study back in the nineteen eighties. Scientists showed that East African vervet monkeys produce alarm calls that are specific for the predators, they encounter. So, for example, vervet monkeys hearing a leopard alarm might scurry up a tree. Whereas the eagle call sends them running for cover under the closest shrub. Now, the green monkeys that live in Senegal share a similar system to warn of leopards and snakes. But they aren't known to raise a ruckus in. Two birds of prey. And so, therefore, we decided to Adrover them the researchers treated eighty green monkeys to show of drones, how did the animals react to this unfamiliar aerial intruder, the monk is digital spot, and they responded with alarm 'cause, and there is sponsored by running away. But here's where things get really interesting, the calls, the green monkeys made after spotting the drones were different from the ones they used to signal leopards or snakes, but even more intriguing to not clinic analysis these alarm, 'cause they're almost eerily similar to the ones of the East African verdict. The findings are described in the journal nature ecology and Evelyn, the fact that the two monkey species seem tube, speak the same language if you will even though they diverged from their last common ancestor some three million years ago suggests that the vocal warning system is hard wired. So if you hear a monkey go watch out for a hungry bird or check. To see if you've got a package delivered. Thanks for listening for scientific Americans sixty seconds science. I'm Karen Hopkin.

We're going to survive Lima change private money and entrepreneurs have to get game from American public media. This is marketplace tech demystifying the digital economy. I'm Molly would. We're continuing our new series on marketplace tech called how we survive about. How technology can help us adapt to climate change. And here's the thing about that. It's expensive the UN puts the total cost to society at fifty four trillion dollars at a minimum by the end of the century. So arguably what we need now is money to create innovative technologies to help survive. The worst effects of warming Jayco is managing director of the private equity firm light Smith group, a firm that's hoping to find an invest in some of those technologies, and he says there aren't many others like it. I think it's one of the earliest attempts to try to look at of teaching resilience as an investable opportunity. Most money so far has gone toward mitigation trying to reduce emissions and improve energy efficiency or toward recovering from disaster. And the bulk of that spending is driven by governments or nonprofits if you look at the global tracking of climate finance lists and five. Two six percent of all finance in the climate universe can be tributed what's called agitation or climate resilience. And so far the private sector has almost no skin in the game. But co says the need for funding is staggering three hundred billion dollars a year by twenty thirty in developing countries, alone and only growing so on the one hand private money is going to have to step in without being able to harness the flow of private capital from the private sector. We're going to face a much much more challenging experience with the effects of climate change flowing through over the next several decades and potentially the next several generations. And on the other hand, there is money to be made from companies that can come up with great solutions and scale them. Our rule is to find companies like that with great management teams already growing that can then be excel rated in their growth that will generate better returns for investors and also a better outcome for society. Okay. So but next question, what do you find co says he's looking at two possible catego-? Oris for investments, which he calls. Macgyver. Maclay? Macgyver used what he had to get out of jams. Looks like it might be Thurmond, Bob. So that's climate intelligence. Like, we talked about earlier this week or things like artificial intelligence for modeling risk to buildings and real estate. Then there's taking technology. We already have transferring it to different parts of the world, and scaling it. Up like, drip, irrigation or drought resistant seeds or cheap. Internet connected sensors for water metering but more available and cheaper. Now. Marnie MC fly from back to the future. Could use tools from you know, the future to change things. And so that means investing in entrepreneurs with crazy, moonshot ideas or materials, we haven't invented yet or just innovative ideas. I say distilling clean water from the air at any house or school or building anywhere on tomorrow show will look at a little macgyver and a little MC fly. And now for some related links. If you are not already you should totally subscribe to make me smart. The other marketplace podcast that I'm on with KAI Ryssdal. We did a crossover episode this week about climate adaptation with Solomon Hsiang, a professor of public policy at firstly who studies the economics of climate change adaptation, and in my opinion. It is a great episode. Jane brought up this really interesting idea of opportunity cost related to add up tation and resilience. He said that basically because of climate change the cost of just survival is getting higher, whether that's hardening infrastructure or disaster recovery or building new seawalls or AI sewer systems, and that leaves less money for other things in our society, like schools or firetrucks or the tech innovations that will need to make life easier or even possible over time other interesting reading on money and climate change last month to central. Bankers wrote an open letter about climate related financial risks. And how in fact climate change is a severe threat to the global economy. And I just learned there's a Sirius XM radio show called knowledge at Wharton, which probably also makes you pretty smart and on the most recent episode two professors from the university of economics and business talked about that letter and the potential economic impacts long term, and I really want this series to be focused on solutions in kind of a hopeful way. But in slightly bummer news earlier this week. It was confirmed that global carbon dioxide levels have hit their highest number in human history at four hundred fifteen parts per million. Scientists say that was probably last the case around three million years ago when sea levels were at least fifty or sixty feet higher and the Greenland and west Antarctic ice sheets. Probably did not exist so solutions, then I'm Ali would. And that's marketplace tech. This is APN Patrick in Santa Cruz. California wrote to us to say marketplace is an essential element in his life.

Huge, previously unknown impact crater found beneath Greenland’s ice
"Researchers have verified the discovery of a giant meteorite impact. Crater the biggest one ever found around the Greenland ice sheet. It was found under what they call the hiawatha. Glacier. The crater is one thousand feet deep and nineteen miles wide. According to the Goddard Space Flight center of NASA was likely formed when a half mile wide iron meteorite hit. What is now north west Greenland about three million years ago? It was then covered in ice. And so it would hide it from view the impact may have occurred at the end of the last ice age and that. Would make this on the most recent giant meteorite strikes
