Carbon is one of the most misunderstood elements and we are going to potentially miss the boat if we are only focused on CO2. What I discovered in my work in Regenerative Soil rocked my world and took time for me to piece together the real story - we still need to draw down the carbon, but it's not the picture that the mainstream media and politicians are running with: we've shrunk the engine of our earth, the actual context of the Carbon cycle, and if we bring it back, we'll see totally different numbers than we might expect especially depending on where we measure and whether or not the photosynthetic capacity of the earth is ready to match it.

Welcome to Generation One - Trailer

You may not know her name, but Eunice Newton Foote made groundbreaking discoveries about the greenhouse effect in the 1850s. Her experiments showed that different gases, including carbon dioxide, absorb and trap heat, an early milestone in the history of climate science. And even though her findings were published in a leading scientific journal – a rarity in the days of a male-dominated field – her work remained virtually unknown until recently. Now, thanks to playwright Amanda Quaid, we have a dramatized portrait of the scientist’s life at the time she published her pioneering study, which lends its name to the title of the play.

This play is part of L.A. Theatre Works’ Relativity Series of science-themed plays. Lead funding for the Relativity Series is provided by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, bridging science and the arts in the modern world.

Recorded at The Invisible Studios, West Hollywood in November 2024.

Circumstances Affecting the Heat of the Sun's Rays (Part 2)

Hello and welcome back to AI Tech News Today! It’s February third, twenty twenty-five, and we have a critical update and some fascinating news in the world of Artificial Intelligence. Let’s dive right into it.

deepseek exposed user data, chat histories in open database. Researchers from cloud security firm Wiz discovered that DeepSeek had an unprotected database that left sensitive user information, such as chat histories, API authentication keys, and system logs, in plain view for anyone to access. The database was publicly accessible and required no authentication, raising serious concerns about data security and privacy.

berkeley researchers replicate deepseek AI for just thirty dollars. In response to the vulnerabilities identified with DeepSeek, researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, have developed a new model called TinyZero. This smaller-scale alternative utilizes reinforcement learning and is available on GitHub for public experimentation—all for the low price of thirty dollars.

openAI o3-mini: faster, smarter AI for STEM, now free for ChatGPT users. This latest model is targeted at science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields, providing enhanced capabilities while lowering costs and reducing latency. Brought to you free of charge for ChatGPT users, it builds on the advancements of its predecessor while pushing the boundaries for small-scale AI applications.

openAI unveils ChatGPT deep research agent for in-depth AI analysis. The new Deep Research agent is designed for professionals in finance, science, engineering, and policy-making, offering a more analytical approach than traditional chat responses. It supports users researching significant purchases, such as cars and appliances, providing detailed analysis to facilitate informed decisions.

stanford’s virtual lab uses AI agents to advance scientific research. Stanford researchers are utilizing specialized AI agents to simulate collaborations among chemists, biologists, and machine learning experts. This innovative approach has the potential to accelerate breakthroughs across various fields, including medicine, climate science, and engineering.

That wraps up today’s AI Tech News! As the development of artificial intelligence continues to evolve rapidly, it’s crucial to stay informed about the implications for privacy, security, and technological advancements. Keep tuning in and remember: the future is bright for AI, so let’s keep our eyes on the horizon!

What is the Climate and Nature Bill, and why does it matter? 

The Zero Hour campaign is here to tell us, as we dive into their efforts to secure widespread backing for the Climate and Nature Bill. The Bill, which had its Second Reading in Parliament on 24 January 2025, aims to strengthen the UK government’s commitments to cut emissions, restore nature, and ensure public consultation on the road to net zero. 

Hosts Mark and Simon are joined by Simon Oldridge, Policy Advisor at Zero Hour to break down the key components of the Bill, and why it’s crucial to tackling the climate emergency. Simon also sheds light on how Zero Hour managed to gain cross-party support for the Bill, and what individuals can do to help it get passed.  

We also hear from the Bill’s sponsor: Liberal Democrat MP Roz Savage, on why she believes it’s a vital step needed on climate action. And from Conservative MP Andrew Bowie, who shares his concerns about the Bill and why he remains a critic.

Season 5, Episode 4 - ‘Zero Hour’ for the Climate and Nature Bill

From an early age, conversations about criminal law and justice at home sparked her dream of studying at Harvard Law School—yet, when she was accepted and offered a full scholarship, it still came as a shock. Her mother’s Perry Mason stories contrasted starkly with the realities of the legal system, but Joyeeta had already found an alternative path to work on justice through her work on consumer and environmental law. In her work, she observed how weaker parties—those with fewer resources, less knowledge, or vague regulations are often exploited, and how there is a double standard when it comes to developing countries. Nowhere is this double standard more magnified than in climate change: despite decades of sound scientific knowledge, we continue to “dump” the consequences onto vulnerable communities thinking it won’t happen to us. Despite it all, Joyeeta remains optimistic. She highlights the power of education and the pivotal role of research in informing social movements, noting that every time a government falls, a window opens for transformative change— a change that can sometimes happen overnight.

Het Portret with Dr. Joyeeta Gupta

Dr. Kevin Trenberth is a Distinguished Senior Scientist in the Climate Analysis Section at the National Center for Atmospheric Research. In this interview, Dr. Trenberth explains the effect anthropogenic climate change is having on our weather systems, regarding the catastrophic record-breaking flooding in Houston this month, as well as the Category 5 Hurricane Irma that wrecked havoc on Florida and the Florida Keys. This summer, tens of millions of people across Asia have been displaced due to massive flooding, and practically the entire Pacific Northwest of North America has been on fire.

Regarding the flooding in Houston, what has been the response from the Trump Administration? What actions have been taken to adapt to the rapidly changing climate system, resulting in more extreme weather? We get into this and more.
