David Wallace-Wells observes that few Silicon Valley titans are addressing climate change, despite the opportunity to leave a significant legacy. He points to Bill Gates-funded negative emissions technology, which could enable current industrial activity without global warming.

This technology would cost $3 trillion annually to operate worldwide. While substantial, this figure is less than the $5 trillion spent each year on global fossil fuel subsidies.

Wallace-Wells, author of [The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming](https://amzn.to/2Of5N3y), shared these insights.

The continental U.S. could face an 8-degree Fahrenheit temperature increase by the end of the 21st century if carbon dioxide concentrations reach 800 parts per million. Current CO2 levels stand at 400 ppm and are rising faster than at any time in Earth's history.

These projections, from the draft National Climate Assessment, are vividly illustrated through computer model visualizations. Allison Leidner, a NASA scientist, emphasizes that these visualizations effectively communicate the dramatic potential changes to the nation's climate, including future temperature and precipitation scenarios.

Over 100 UK business and finance leaders, including CEOs from Amazon, Coca-Cola, and IKEA, have urged Prime Minister Liz Truss to strengthen the economy by prioritizing climate and nature crises.

Over 100 UK business and finance leaders, including CEOs from Amazon, Coca-Cola, and IKEA, have urged Prime Minister Liz Truss to strengthen the economy by prioritizing climate and nature crises. Amid inflation and recession warnings, they advocate for building economic resilience through net-zero delivery and nature restoration.

A letter from 116 institutions emphasizes urgent government plans to accelerate the energy transition. This could significantly reduce household energy bills, improve energy security, and shield the UK from volatile fossil fuel prices. Restoring nature is also crucial for resilience and economic support.

Sustainability means enduring, which demands rapid innovation. This is not just ethical, but a matter of survival. Yet, innovation is demanding, consuming significant time and resources.

Andrea Geremicca explains how to overcome the challenges of future-oriented thinking. He directs the Master in Innovation and Entrepreneurship at Rome Business School and the European Institute for Innovation and Sustainability (EIIS), and is a LUISS professor. He studied innovation at Harvard and emerging technologies at Singularity University, also advising international startups.

Jeff Corwin explores the Great Plains' interconnected species. He aids bison re-establishment with Native American tribes and conserves black-footed ferrets, once thought extinct. Ferrets critically depend on prairie dogs, a keystone species decimated by habitat loss and Sylvatic plague, nearly causing their extinction. The species was famously rediscovered by a dog named Shep.

Conservation efforts involve canine teams, like Melissa Steen and Tule, locating ferrets in prairie dog burrows. Spotlight teams, including Chamois Andersen, then find and trap ferrets at night. Biologists like Jessica Alexander collect vital data and administer life-saving vaccines against Sylvatic plague, ensuring this fragile population's survival.

April 20, 2022, marks 12 years since the BP Deepwater Horizon explosion, which killed 11 people and caused the worst oil spill in U.S. history. This tragedy devastated marine environments and coastal communities.

Since then, offshore drilling continues, harming human health, marine life, and our beaches. We must prevent further toxic oil spills in our oceans.
