Professor Paco Calvo and author Natalie Lawrence present "Planta Sapiens: The New Science of Plant Intelligence." This book offers an astonishing window into plant intelligence, revealing cutting-edge science. Decades of research document plants' impressive abilities to communicate, manipulate, and move, with new evidence even suggesting sentience.

Paco Calvo is a Professor of Philosophy of Science specializing in plant neurobiology. Natalie Lawrence, an author and illustrator, explores our relationship with the natural world through a scientific lens. Get the book here: Planta Sapiens. Moderated by Rachael Kline. #talksatgoogle #nature

Sea ice is melting at both poles. New technology reveals rugged undersides of Antarctic ice shelves, accelerating their melt from warm water. Scientists Peter Wadhams and Patrick Hogan explain that this massive ice loss shifts Earth's mass, increasing tectonic activity and altering ocean currents, with significant implications for sea-level rise.

We must abandon linear thinking for exponential climate changes. Coastal communities face growing danger; rebuilding oceanfront areas after increasingly powerful storms is unsustainable. This increased tectonic activity also raises earthquake likelihood.

Scientists recently filmed octopuses throwing seashells and debris at each other, possibly for social reasons. This adds them to a select group of animals known to hurl objects. Females initiated most throws (66%), often during mating, with 17% hitting their underwater targets.

As a Federal Court ruling nears on January 5th, opponents warn the Thacker Pass Lithium Mine in Nevada is already damaging sacred sites. Lithium Nevada Corporation has begun digging test pits and installing infrastructure where Native Americans conduct ceremonies. Tribes argue this violates permit agreements, contending new authorizations terminated older ones, with attorney Will Falk suggesting the company is "lying to get a headstart" with BLM's approval.

Thacker Pass, or Peehee Mu'huh, is a sacred site for regional tribes, used for ceremonies, gathering, and as a massacre site. Tribal leaders emphasize their responsibility to protect these places, asserting the mine violates religious freedoms and consultation rights. The January 5th hearing is the final oral argument in lawsuits. Support protection efforts: https://givebutter.com/protectthackerpass. Learn more: https://ProtectThackerPass.org.
