Join us for an update of last years show as we explore how to preserve communities and stop future fires

There is very clear evidence that the largest and most important heat transfer mechanism on Earth collapsed 25 times in the last 125,000 years. In this episode of Weathered, we explore how likely it is to collapse again soon. youtu.be/5R-PeI6wI3s

Earth's climate has always changed. For 800,000 years it's changed by ~6°C from ice age to interglacial (where we are now) & CO2 goes from 200-300ppm. But I just realized we've broken that cycle by shooting up to 420ppm. Dang.

Is AI really blowing up our carbon budget? Maybe not. ALL data centers, including cryto currency, use about 2% of global electricity. But COWS ALONE contribute over 11% to total green house gas emissions. All livestock = 14.5%.
