Taking climate scientists like Peter Wadhams and Paul Beckwith seriously at COP would yield vastly different outcomes than COP28's "bandaid" solutions. COP28's deals, focusing on minor fixes like leaky pipes and cow burps, are insufficient for the severe climate crisis. Wealthy nations offer millions where trillions are needed, failing to address the damage they've caused.

The COP process, exemplified by COP28's 100,000 attendees—many representing fossil fuel interests—has failed to enact real change over 28 years. Our team offers commentary on this year's "COP out." For more information, visit the FacingFuture Library at https://facingfuture.earth/library.

Join Jeff Corwin as he explores critical conservation challenges facing amazing mammals. He travels to New England to help care for orphaned black bear cubs, learning about their unique behaviors and threats from pollution and habitat loss. At the Kilham Bear Center, Corwin assists in preparing cubs like Flower and Dover for release, a process involving sedation, health checks, and ear tagging to ensure their wild future.

Corwin also visits Florida to meet orphaned baby manatees, understanding habitat threats and rescue efforts. He aids veterinarians in healing injured opossums for their return to nature. This journey underscores that nearly a quarter of all mammals face extinction, emphasizing the urgent need for conservation to protect the remaining wild species.

Jeff Corwin joins Defenders of Wildlife in Boston to aid peregrine falcon recovery. At Deer Island's massive wastewater treatment plant, a nesting box on a 130-foot filtration tank provides a home for these once-endangered birds, the fastest on Earth. This collaboration with the Massachusetts Department of Fisheries and Wildlife showcases how ingenuity allows wildlife to thrive in urban settings.

Corwin, alongside Dr. Jacob Malcolm and biologist Dave Paulson, bands falcon chicks to track the species' remarkable comeback. Despite protective parents, the team successfully bands the young, contributing to a conservation success story. Massachusetts now boasts 50 known peregrine falcon pairs, many adapting to developed landscapes. Learn more at [Defenders of Wildlife](https://www.defenders.org/wildlifenation).

Join the NHI Speaker Series for "The Brothers Boutelou and the Grass they Barely Knew" with Debbie DeWolf Allen. This talk explores the fascinating origin of the genus name for Blue Grama Grass, *Bouteloua gracilis*. While botanical names often describe plants, some honor individuals. Discover the tale behind Bouteloua, intertwining two 18th-century Spanish gardeners, an enlightened king, a New World expedition, and botanical drawings lost for nearly 200 years.

Debbie DeWolf Allen, a Master Gardener and author of "Common Grasses of the Central Arizona Highlands," will guide this journey through botany, history, and exploration. Her field guide is available at the Natural History Institute.

In 1987, Arizona scientists created Biosphere 2, a 3-acre domed facility to mimic Earth's living systems. Early self-sufficiency experiments faced oxygen and food challenges, but this incredible facility now hosts major earth science research. Discover its story and insights into natural systems by watching Biosphere 2's director, Joaquin Ruiz, at Summit 2019.

This video is from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, a UK charity accelerating the transition to a circular economy. We work across business, learning, and insight to establish the circular economy on the global agenda.

In 1987 Arizona, scientists created Biosphere 2, a 3-acre domed facility designed to mimic Earth's living systems without external aid. Early experiments, where crews lived inside, faced oxygen loss and food shortages. Despite initial failures, Biosphere 2 now conducts some of the world's largest earth science experiments, offering vital insights into natural systems for global challenges.

We will also speak with participants from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation's "From Linear to Circular" program. Forty-four young professionals and students recently completed a week-long study on the circular economy. Discover their experiences, motivations, and how they will apply their learning to their studies and careers.

Author David Wallace-Wells warns that coral reefs may not survive another generation, potentially facing total extinction by 2050 without significant policy changes. He highlights that humanity is already experiencing a mass extinction event. The World Wildlife Fund reports a 60% decline in vertebrate mammals since 1970, while insect populations may have plummeted by 75% in recent decades.

Our oceans currently absorb much of the atmospheric emissions, preventing even higher global temperatures. However, they remain highly vulnerable to pollution and other impacts. Wallace-Wells, author of "The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming" (https://amzn.to/2Of5N3y), emphasizes the critical state of these vital ecosystems.

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) comprises two limbs. Its upper limb transports warm, tropical waters northward, releasing heat influencing European weather. The lower limb carries cold, dense waters southward at depth.

Driven by solar radiation, the AMOC's upper limb features vigorous currents like the Gulf Stream, flowing north along the Atlantic's western boundary. These currents, forming eddies, carry heat towards higher latitudes, reaching the Nordic Seas to cool and densify.

In regions like the Labrador Sea, these cooled, dense waters plunge via convection to 1000-2000m. This forms the Deep Western Boundary Current, the AMOC's lower limb, flowing slowly southward along the continental slope. Further south, this deep flow is disrupted by topography and eddies, losing its structure.
