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.

Recent technological advances, notably Project CETI, are enabling us to begin understanding animal communication, starting with sperm whales. This interdisciplinary initiative employs machine learning, robotics, and natural language processing to decipher nonhuman animal communication.

While these technologies offer significant promise for enhancing animal well-being and rights, they also present serious risks of manipulation and exploitation.

To address this, the NYU More-Than-Human Life (MOTH) Program and Project CETI are collaborating to establish ethical and legal guardrails. This conversation features David Gruber and César Rodríguez-Garavito, moderated by Teo Grossman of Bioneers.
