SHOW NOTESFaced with a limit built into our own flesh, we did the most human thing imaginable: we invented our way around it. This episode is about the machine that makes cold on demand — one of the most genuinely useful things our species has ever built, and one that quietly runs up an enormous bill. We trace the whole arc: how air conditioning broke heat's ancient ceiling on where humans could live and work, the invisible refrigerants that leak out as greenhouse gases thousands of times stronger than carbon, and the grid that fails at the exact moment we need it most — because the same heat that spikes demand also makes the wires carry less. In Phoenix, most people who died indoors owned a working air conditioner; the barrier wasn't the machine, it was the electric bill.Then the turn: long before the machine, every hot civilization independently solved this — the clay pot that cools by evaporation, the courtyard, the windcatcher, the whitewashed wall that's secretly engineering. We threw away three thousand years of that knowledge in about fifty, and bought it back as a machine that makes the problem worse. The episode closes on the city itself — where a New York summer day runs ten manufactured degrees hotter than the land it was built on, where trees and white paint can claw back three or four of those degrees, and where every rule we wrote (heat for tenants, but not cooling; minimum classroom temperatures, but no maximum) assumed a climate that is quietly ceasing to exist. Everything we built assumed the Holocene would hold. It won't.Explore our Comprehensive Environmental Solutions database: A CALL TO ACT

How does it feel to be isolated from a language and a culture that could have been yours? There are many paths to language loss, but there are also many ways back. Language revitalisation is now happening for communities and individuals. We're talking about it with journalist and lingToker Sophia Smith Galer, author of How to Kill a Language: Power, Resistance, and the Race to Save Our Words.

What's a Younger Dryas? What's a Glacial Maximum? Who was living in civilzations before Egypt and Sumeria? Turns out we have some names, places and archeology. So, Professor Emeritus John Hoopes breaks it down for us. Mezolythic, Neolithic, Holocene. among others are all terms we'll define and we'll fit some of those puzzle pieces between transforming to agriculturally based settlements from mobile hunters and gatherers. 

Merneptah vs the Libyans. In 1221 BCE, Egypt faced a crisis. Tribal coalitions from the west, and some "Peoples of the Sea" were marching on the Nile Valley. They came in their thousands, armed and ready to settle. Caught by surprise, King Merneptah and his warriors hastened to the defence...

Headline: The Holocene Transition and the Dawn of Human Adaptation Guest: Professor Peter Frankopan Book Title: The Earth Transformed: An Untold History John Batchelor introduces Professor Peter Frankopan to discuss how mankind responds to nature and catastrophic climate shifts. The conversation begins in the Holocene with two violent events: the breakdown of the Laurentide ice dam in North America and a massive tsunami off the Norwegian coast. Frankopan explains that these events shaped human ecologies, with the Laurentide floods accelerating circulation patterns and the Norwegian landslide physically severing Britain from mainland Europe. This geographic isolation later influenced British political identity and naval investment. The discussion moves to the transition from hunter-gatherers to farming, though Frankopan emphasizes that these categories are often blurred. He argues that the true driver of social hierarchy and urban settlement was calorie availability. By exploiting natural resources with less labor, early humans created social competitions and complex hierarchies. New scientific techniques like LiDAR now allow historians to see submerged habitations, highlighting how much our ancestors' destinies were tied to environmental shifts. (1)1910 IDAHO

Is it already too late? If you follow the climate crisis closely, despair is a reasonable and rational response to what you're looking at.This week, we're being led by you. We gathered the messages you've been sending and let them set the agenda. They're heavy ones, and we wanted to stay with them rather than rush past. Is there still hope, or is it over? If this civilisation ends, won't nature simply restore itself without us? How do you keep going when the grief feels total?None of them have easy answers, and we don't pretend otherwise. Along the way, one listener pushes back on the phrase "pre-traumatic stress" and offers a truer one: earth grief, the other side of the coin from love. Another thread reaches for deep time - William MacAskill's claim that we are barely 2% of the way into humanity's story. How does that perspective change what matters now?So - what can we actually do? From the language we use, to how we give our time and resources, to the places where each of us touches power. Christiana Figueres, Tom Rivett-Carnac and Paul Dickinson challenge each other and us to find actions that make our shared climate grief easier to carry. LEARN MORE

fWotD Episode 3344: Eve Cone Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Wednesday, 1 July 2026, is Eve Cone.Eve Cone, also known as Eve's Cone, is a cinder cone in Cassiar Land District of northwestern British Columbia, Canada. It has an elevation of 1,740 metres (5,710 feet) and is one of several volcanic cones in the Desolation Lava Field at the northern end of the Big Raven Plateau. Situated southeast of the community of Telegraph Creek, it lies in Mount Edziza Provincial Park, one of the largest provincial parks in British Columbia. A roughly 12-kilometre-long (7.5-mile) lava field issued from Eve Cone during the Holocene and travelled down the northern side of the Big Raven Plateau. It branches out into many narrower channels, the largest extending to Buckley Lake.Eve Cone is part of the Mount Edziza volcanic complex, which consists of a wide variety of landforms such as shield volcanoes, stratovolcanoes, lava domes and cinder cones. The cone contains a circular summit crater 45 m (148 ft) deep, but most of the lava from the volcano appears to have issued from vents around the base of the 350 m (1,150 ft) wide cone. Eve Cone is surrounded by a number of other volcanic features, including Tsekone Ridge, Pillow Ridge, Sidas Cone and the Triplex Cones. Access to the cone can be achieved via horse trails from Telegraph Creek and Iskut. Landing on nearby Buckley Lake with float-equipped aircraft is also a viable method to reach Eve Cone.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:13 UTC on Wednesday, 1 July 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Eve Cone on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Raveena.

China's first coral reef blue hole — a large natural depression on the ocean floor — has been identified in the waters off Huangyan Island in the South China Sea, and it has emerged as a biodiversity hot spot, according to a report released on Thursday.根据6月25日发布的一份报告，中国首个珊瑚礁蓝洞——一种大型海底自然凹陷——已在南海黄岩岛附近海域被确认，并且这里已成为一个生物多样性热点区域。Environmental DNA technology has helped scientists detect more than 2,700 marine species in and around the blue hole, which was first spotted by a scientific observation team in August last year in the central area of a lagoon, said the 2025 Survey Report on Huangyan Dao Blue Hole released by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment.生态环境部发布的《2025年黄岩岛蓝洞调查报告》称，环境DNA技术已帮助科学家在蓝洞及其周边区域检测到超过2700种海洋生物。该蓝洞于去年8月由一支科学观测团队在潟湖中部区域首次发现。Based on their genesis, these underwater sinkholes can be categorized into two types — one formed through limestone dissolution and the other formed by coral reefs, with the latter considered a rare phenomenon worldwide.根据成因，这些水下陷坑可分为两类——一类由石灰岩溶蚀形成，另一类由珊瑚礁形成，后者在全球范围内被视为罕见现象。Preliminary geochronological studies suggest that the Huangyan blue hole formed at least 3,200 years ago and developed in a high-density patch reef area within the lagoon, the report said. The sinkhole is shaped like a funnel, with a surface diameter of 56.3 meters and a depth of 16.6 meters. The surface area of the blue hole is 1,491.7 square meters.报告称，初步的地质年代学研究显示，黄岩岛蓝洞至少形成于3200年前，发育于潟湖内一个高密度斑礁区域。该陷坑呈漏斗状，表层直径56.3米，深度16.6米。蓝洞表面积达1491.7平方米。Typical coral reef biological communities are thriving inside the blue hole, including different species of fish, giant clams, sponges and sea anemones. The green sea turtle, which is a Class I protected wildlife species in China, has been observed inhabiting the blue hole and its surrounding waters.蓝洞内部繁衍生息着典型的珊瑚礁生物群落，包括多种鱼类、巨蛤、海绵和海葵。属于中国国家一级保护野生动物的绿海龟也被观察到栖息在蓝洞及其周边水域。Field surveys in the surrounding waters over the past two years have recorded 165 species of hard corals, belonging to 14 families and 44 genera, and 184 species of fish, belonging to 27 families and 85 genera.过去两年对周边水域的实地调查已记录到165种硬珊瑚，分属14科44属，以及184种鱼类，分属27科85属。The report said this coral reef blue hole serves as a vivid testament to the natural ecosystem diversity of Huangyan Island and a key geological archive for reconstructing paleo environmental changes in the South China Sea, including sea-level fluctuations and the impacts of global and regional climate change.报告称，这一珊瑚礁蓝洞生动地体现了黄岩岛自然生态系统的多样性，也是重建南海古环境变化（包括海平面波动及全球和区域气候变化的影响）的关键地质档案。The blue hole can provide critical insights into the geological evolution of the Huangyan region, as well as biodiversity and environmental changes in the South China Sea since the Holocene epoch, it said.报告指出，该蓝洞可为黄岩地区的地质演化以及全新世以来南海生物多样性和环境变化提供重要参考。The sinkhole offers essential scientific support for understanding the formation, evolutionary mechanisms and ecological effects of this unique marine ecosystem, the report added.报告补充说，这一陷坑为了解这一独特海洋生态系统的形成、演化机制及生态效应提供了必要的科学支撑。Pei Xiaofei, a spokesman for the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, said the results of the survey highlight the progress China has made in its ecological protection efforts in the surrounding waters of the island, which is firmly underpinned by the establishment of the Huangyan Island national nature reserve in September 2025.生态环境部发言人裴晓菲表示，此次调查结果凸显了中国在黄岩岛周边海域生态保护方面取得的进展，而2025年9月黄岩岛国家自然保护区的设立为此提供了坚实保障。The ministry will conduct "more in-depth, systematic and comprehensive research" on the blue hole to provide scientific support for further enhancing ecosystem and biodiversity conservation in the South China Sea, Pei added.裴晓菲补充说，生态环境部将对蓝洞开展“更深入、更系统、更全面的研究”，为进一步加强南海生态系统和生物多样性保护提供科学支撑。geochronological /ˌdʒiːəʊˌkrɒnəˈlɒdʒɪkəl/地质年代学的high-density patch reef /haɪ ˈdensəti pætʃ riːf/高密度斑礁funnel /ˈfʌnəl/漏斗状giant clam /ˈdʒaɪənt klæm/巨蛤sea anemone /siː əˈneməni/海葵green sea turtle /ɡriːn siː ˈtɜːtəl/绿海龟Class I protected wildlife species /klɑːs wʌn prəˈtektɪd ˈwaɪldlaɪf ˈspiːʃiːz/国家一级保护野生动物hard coral /hɑːd ˈkɒrəl/硬珊瑚

This interview is with Carrie Alexander of Holocene Wines. In this interview, Carrie discusses the many different roads she has taken that eventually led her to wine. Carrie talks about the various career paths she has taken. She started pursuing a degree in teaching which she later changed and graduated with a fine arts degree. While she played with owning coffee shops, skate shops, and being a hairdresser, she was introduced to wine by working in restaurants. Carrie discusses how she first began tasting wine while working in restaurants and hospitality in Napa Valley. Eventually, she moved up to making wine lists and running tasting rooms. After meeting her husband who is a winemaker, their dream was to own their own wine brand where her husband would make the wine and she would do the rest. Then in 2015, they achieved their dreams in creating Holocene. In 2020, they also started making wine in France.Later in the interview, Carrie talks about her proudest achievement during her time in the industry. For her, creating Grenache Fest is what she is the most proud of. After finding out that many others share her love of Grenache, she decided to create an event that honors it.This interview was conducted by Rich Schmidt at Salishan Coastal Lodge on June 15, 2026.

Peter and Eden run through a rapid-fire list of pop culture hot takes covering movies, TV, music, books, and games. The Star Wars watch order debate kicks things off (original trilogy only for Peter, release order for Eden), Eden defends Batman & Robin and F-Boy Island as unironically great, both agree the Beatles are played out, and they end on a shared appreciation for Alpha Centauri as the peak of the Civilization franchise.Show NotesWhat Eden's Been IntoK-pop roundup: LE SSERAFIM's new album, aespa's Lemonade LP, and ITZY's Motto EP (featuring solo tracks from each member)Reading: The web novel Long Awaited Feelings (1,900 pages about a woman who time-travels after her death) and rereading How Do We Relationship? (completed 14-volume yuri romance manga — "the best romance comic I've ever read")Games: Finished PowerWash Simulator (excited for the Star Wars DLC), played Loddlenaut (cute 5-hour pixel-art ocean cleanup game), and the Wuthering Waves x Cyberpunk: Edgerunners crossover eventWhat Peter's Been IntoDiablo 4: Finished the Vessel of Hatred campaign as a Warlock ("killing demons by summoning your own demons is a good time")Reading: 82% through Anji Kills a King by Evan Leikam (BookTuber debut from Tor) — enjoying it but struggling with the prickly protagonistMusic: New Khemmis self-titled album (Denver doom metal), Cult of Luna's new single "In the Shadow of Your Shadow" (album out November), and The Ocean's "Light Pollution" from upcoming Solaris — allaying fears after the post-Holocene lineup changeHot Takes — MoviesStar Wars watch order: Peter says 4, 5, 6 + maybe Rogue One, skip everything else. Eden says release order (4, 5, 6, 1, 2, 3, Rogue One) to preserve cultural/historical contextEden defends Batman & Robin: "It's the second best Batman movie. George Clooney's a bad Batman, he's got nipples on the Batsuit, he's got the Bat credit card — it's great."Eden declares Saving Private Ryan a bad movie to the horror of everyone at the comic book shopBest Pixar: Eden picks Ratatouille (doesn't like most Pixar). Peter picks The IncrediblesCorrect max runtime: 90 minutes (Eden) vs 120 minutes (Peter) — anything longer needs to earn itSequel that's better: Peter says Captain America: Winter Soldier > First Avenger. Eden says Tokyo Drift is the best Fast & Furious movieCitizen Kane: Eden concedes it's the rare masterpiece that actually earns its reputation — a bunch of first-time filmmakers who didn't know the rulesHot Takes — TVShows that stayed too long: The Simpsons (Peter). Nearly every comedy past season 3 (Eden)Best series finale: M*A*S*H's "Goodbye, Farewell and Amen" and Babylon 5 (Eden). Brooklyn 99 (Peter)Worst series finale: Battlestar Galactica (new) — "the most incomprehensible finale you'll ever watch" (Eden). Seinfeld (Peter)Reality TV worth defending: F-Boy Island — 24 guys, half are "nice guys" and half are fuckboys, the women pick, and the fuckboys can steal the $100k at the end. Nice guys get a villa; fuckboys get a literal prison camp on the beachAdult animation vs prestige drama: Eden says Bob's Burgers is the only good adult animation show right now. Prestige TV is in a nadir of expensive Game of Thrones clonesHot Takes — MusicNever need to hear again: The entire Beatles discography (both agree)Best decade by genre: 80s for rock/pop, 90s for alt, aughts for indie, right now for K-pop (Eden). 2010s for metal — the genre found its stride again after a grim 90s (Peter)Bands that should have stopped: Dream Theater after Awake (Eden). Opeth's last 15 years are all misses (Eden). Peter agrees on bothGreatest live album: Rush — Exit...Stage Left (Peter). The Bang on a Can recording of Terry Riley's In C (Eden — "the finest version I've ever seen")Albums > playlists: Both firmly team albums. Eden has a 16-hour "K-pop Brain Rot" playlist for shuffling, but that's the exceptionHot Takes — BooksAudiobooks = reading?

Joseph Fournier discusses his Substack article proposing a “solar-driven glacial atmospheric dipole” to explain the Last Glacial Maximum contrast between ice-covered North Atlantic regions and ice-free Beringia. He reviews Milankovitch cycles, zonal vs meridional winds, ITCZ migration, Holocene aridity/desert formation around 4,200 years ago, and Neoglacial solar sensitivity. He focuses on how solar variability (UV, interplanetary magnetic field, energetic particle precipitation, cosmic rays) affects stratospheric polar vortices and couples to tropospheric indices (NAO, SAM), influencing clouds, sunshine, ocean circulation (AMO/AMOC), and glaciers, citing proxy reconstructions and Bond events. They also address the Atlantic “cold blob” freshwater argument and farming implications.00:00 Beringia Glacial Mystery02:35 Dedication and Wind Focus06:08 Holocene ITCZ Shifts10:21 Deserts and Neoglacial Questions15:02 Milankovitch Limits17:22 Zonal vs Meridional Flow22:09 Southern Annular Mode Basics25:12 SAM Impacts and Ocean Carbon28:48 Cloud Belts and Brightening34:32 SAM History and Solar Minima38:12 Polar Vortex Coupling40:17 Solar Magnetism Explained45:18 GCRs and Stratosphere Temps52:01 Sunspots vs Hurricane Power56:01 EPP Ozone and Aurora Link58:36 Solar System Harmonics01:01:02 Solar Wobble Link01:02:34 Jupiter Quakes Core01:06:41 Zonal vs Meridional01:11:32 NAO SPV Coupling01:14:21 Bond Events Framework01:17:42 Ice Rafted Debris01:25:26 Greenland Melt Drivers01:30:38 AMO Gulf Stream THC01:37:10 Cosmogenic Isotope Cycles01:42:34 Glacial Dipole Conclusion01:45:46 Atlantic Cold Blob01:49:13 Farming Outlook Wraphttps://x.com/JosephF55175005=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

Synthetic biology, the engineering of life at the genetic level, is advancing at pace. Much of the public conversation fixates on de-extinction and charismatic creatures like woolly mammoths, dire wolves, and moas, but is that really what matters in this new world we are looking at? And while we debate whether these technologies should be applied to the natural world at all, massive investment in human medicine and agriculture is already releasing genetically modified organisms into open systems, including soils, freshwater, oceans, and even our own bodies. Synthetic biology also raises difficult questions about who benefits, who bears the costs, and what it means when private intellectual property becomes embedded in the genome of an endangered species.To explore all of this, I spoke with returning guest on the show Kent Redford, a conservation scientist who has spent well over a decade trying to bring synthetic biology to the attention of conservationists. We discuss the blurry line between genetic engineering and synthetic biology, the promise and peril of engineered gene drives, and why he believes the field's obsession with de-extinction is largely a waste of time. Kent also makes a deeper, more unsettling argument: that conservation is gripped by a kind of "Holocene hubris," still trying to restore a past that is already slipping away.Links to resourcesStrange Natures: Conservation in the Era of Synthetic Biology - Kent's book on synthetic biology in conservationSynthetic soil crusts against green-desert transitions - 2021 article by Solé and co-authors Beneficial Microorganisms for Corals (BMC): Proposed Mechanisms for Coral Health and Resilience - 2017 artilce by Peixoto and co-authorsVisit www.case4conservation.com

Scientists warn we are in an age of mass-extinction. Entire species are ceasing to exist at unprecedented rates. When did this age begin, and when did humans start to confront their impacts on ecosystems and living populations? Sadiah Qureshi explores extinction as ‘unnatural' and inherently political, by placing humanity at the centre of her latest book, 'Vanished: an Unnatural History of Extinction'. In conversation with Bertie, she traces the history of the concept of extinction in European thought and its connection with settler-colonial politics. Bertie and Sadiah also discuss present day conservation policy, and echoes of imperialist thought within it. Sadiah Qureshi is a Chair of Modern British History at the University of Manchester, and a historian of science, race and empire. Further reading‘Vanished: An Unnatural History Of Extinction,' is available to purchase from Penguin here.This week, Professor Qureshi delivered the annual Wilkins-Bernal-Medawar Prize Lecture for the Royal Society.

Raymond Inauen, a graphic artist with 35 years' experience, presents a free website of downloadable charts (PDF/PNG/ZIP) meant to teach CO2, climate, and energy basics or serve as a single reference. Charts cover CO2's molecule, atmospheric composition (about 420 ppm), natural vs anthropogenic emissions (4.9% manmade), ocean/land fluxes, plant physiology (stomata), C3/C4/CAM plants, photosynthesis, and a logarithmic CO2–temperature relationship. He also includes long-term temperature/CO2 history, Holocene and recent warming, sea-level rise since the last ice age, and glacier/tree-line evidence from the Alps. Energy charts break down global fuel use and electricity sources. He adds references, a CO2 mascot “Conrad,” discusses reduced social-media reach, and shares a visual condensing atmospheric CO2 into a 16×16 km cube.00:00 Meet Raymond Inauen00:32 CO2 Molecule Basics01:09 Atmosphere Composition Explained02:17 Natural vs Human CO2 Sources04:18 CO2 Cycle In and Out05:21 Plants and CO2 Benefits06:35 C3 C4 Plants and Greening08:36 Plant Respiration Day Night09:10 Logarithmic Warming Idea10:16 Design Sources and Trace Gas12:11 Exhaled CO2 Context13:01 Deep Time CO2 and Temps14:41 Human Body Carbon Link15:11 Climate History Overview16:13 Ice Ages and Holocene Temps17:45 Modern Warming and Sea Levels19:23 Glaciers Tree Lines Debate23:02 Global Energy Charts Tour28:19 Need a Scientist Narrator30:07 Downloads and Conrad Mascot31:49 Social Media and CO2 Cube34:30 Wrap Up and Website Updateshttps://x.com/theworldofco2https://www.the-world-of-co2.com/co2=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

In episode 330 of The Archeology Show, we discuss the latest controversy over the site of Monte Verde in southern Chile, long considered a cornerstone pre-Clovis site dated to about 14,500 BP. We summarize a March 2026 study led by Todd Surovell arguing the key occupation layer is much younger (about 8,200–4,200 years ago) based on geological and stratigraphic analyses, including an 11,000-year-old tephra layer allegedly beneath deposits, claims of redeposited older wood from erosion and flooding, and luminescence dating of nearby sediments. We then review strong criticism, including scathing critiques from about 30 researchers including Tom Dillehay (author of the original work), disputing sampling locations, assumptions about redeposition, and whether the tephra identification is correct. It seems like both sides raise points but more collaborative research is needed before rewriting interpretations of early human peopling of the Americas. Links When did humans arrive in the Americas?

On this episode of Unsupervised Learning, Razib talks to physicist Gregory Cochran. Cochran is best known for his work in human evolution, often at the intersection of biology, anthropology, and history. Trained in physics, he later turned to population genetics and became widely known through collaborations with researchers like Henry Harpending, producing influential but controversial work on recent human evolution, including the idea that natural selection has accelerated in the Holocene. Cochran has also been a prominent public intellectual, co-authoring the book The 10,000 Year Explosion: How Civilization Accelerated Human Evolution. He writes at the blog West Hunter. First, Razib and Cochran examine the controversy surrounding Ancient DNA reveals pervasive directional selection across West Eurasia, including Davide Piffer's complaint that the authors did not cite his work. Then, they review chapter-by-chapter the arguments in The 10,000 Year Explosion, from Cochran and John Hawks' prediction that Neanderthals likely admixed with modern humans, to the importance of agriculture in driving adaptation in human beings and the ecological context of the increase in Ashkenazi intelligence.

Today we're reviewing Don Verdean (2015), the story of a washed-up Biblical archaeologist who, under pressure from his financial backers, begins to fake his discoveries. This movie is rife with pseudoarchaeological references, so we've invited Dr. Andrew Kinkella back to help us break it down. As a bonus, he uses his film degree to explain why, despite being hilarious, this movie is actually terrible.

fWotD Episode 3262: Ojos del Salado Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Friday, 10 April 2026, is Ojos del Salado.Nevado Ojos del Salado is a dormant complex volcano in the Andes on the Argentina–Chile border. It is the highest volcano on Earth and the highest peak in Chile. The upper reaches of Ojos del Salado consist of several overlapping lava domes, lava flows and volcanic craters, with sparse ice cover. The complex extends over an area of 70–160 square kilometres (27–62 mi2) and its highest summit reaches an altitude of 6,893 metres (22,615 ft) above sea level. Numerous other volcanoes rise around Ojos del Salado.Being close to the Arid Diagonal of South America, the mountain has extremely dry conditions, which prevent the formation of substantial glaciers and a permanent snow cover. Despite the arid climate, there is a permanent crater lake about 100 m (330 ft) in diameter at an elevation of 6,480–6,500 metres (21,260–21,330 ft) within the summit crater and east of the main summit. This is the highest lake of any kind in the world. Owing to its altitude and the desiccated climate, the mountain lacks vegetation.Ojos del Salado was volcanically active during the Pleistocene and Holocene, during which it mainly produced lava flows. Activity was in two phases and a depression or caldera formed in the course of its growth. The volcano was also impacted by eruptions of its neighbour to the west, Nevado Tres Cruces. The last eruption occurred around 750 CE; steam emissions observed in November 1993 may have constituted another eruptive event.An international highway between Argentina and Chile crosses north of the mountain. Ojos del Salado can be ascended from both countries; the first ascent was made in 1937 by Jan Alfred Szczepański and Justyn Wojsznis, members of a Polish expedition in the Andes. During the middle of the 20th century there was a debate on whether Ojos del Salado or Aconcagua was the highest mountain in South America, which was eventually resolved in favour of Aconcagua.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 02:10 UTC on Friday, 10 April 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Ojos del Salado on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Russell.

Jules de Waart, an 84-year-old former geologist, Dutch parliamentarian, civil servant, and physical geographer, discusses returning to climate topics after retirement and writing his skeptical book, "Crisis or Hoax," after an article was refused. He describes translating it to English using translation software and later joining the CO2 Coalition. Using geological and satellite-temperature slides, he argues Earth's climate has long cycled through icehouse/greenhouse periods, the Holocene had earlier warm periods, and recent temperature spikes align with natural factors rather than CO2. He disputes claims of a strong scientific consensus, cites studies showing few papers explicitly quantify IPCC dominance, critiques alarmist messaging, and urges defending the scientific method and caution on geoengineering.00:00 Meet Jules de Waart02:49 Why He Wrote The Book03:08 Research And Translation Process06:13 Two Big Climate Questions10:26 Deep Time Climate History14:32 Holocene Warm Periods18:25 IPCC 1990 And Hockey Stick21:02 Satellites Spikes And Natural Drivers25:43 Debunking The 97 Percent Consensus30:59 Scary Messaging And White Lies34:19 Is The Narrative Cracking42:49 Power Politics And Global Reset Claims49:00 Closing Advice And Scientific MethodAmazon link for “Crisis or Hoax?: Climate change in science, media and politics”: https://a.co/d/0hF1DizdTilak Doshi: “This Book by a Dissenting Climate Scientist is the Perfect Red Pill for the Curious”: https://tilakdoshi.substack.com/p/this-book-by-a-dissenting-climate?publication_id=2241724=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

For decades, Monte Verde in southern Chile has been one of the most famous archaeological sites in the Americas. The site was widely accepted as 14,500 years old, making it one of the strongest pieces of evidence for human presence in the Americas before Clovis. But what if that interpretation was wrong? In this special episode, I sit down with Dr. Todd Surovell, professor of anthropology at the University of Wyoming, to discuss new research that re-examines Monte Verde using modern geoarchaeological methods. The results suggest that the famous site may actually be much younger than previously believed, dating to the Holocene rather than the Ice Age. If true, this would mean that Monte Verde is not evidence for pre-Clovis humans in South America, and it could force archaeologists to reconsider one of the most influential discoveries in American archaeology. We discuss: The history of the Monte Verde discovery Why it reshaped textbooks in the 1990s How new geological and dating analyses challenge the original interpretation What this means for Clovis-first vs. pre-Clovis models Why independent verification and skepticism are essential in science This episode explores how science evolves—and how even the most famous discoveries can be re-examined.

For decades, Monte Verde in southern Chile has been one of the most famous archaeological sites in the Americas. The site was widely accepted as 14,500 years old, making it one of the strongest pieces of evidence for human presence in the Americas before Clovis. But what if that interpretation was wrong? In this special episode, I sit down with Dr. Todd Surovell, professor of anthropology at the University of Wyoming, to discuss new research that re-examines Monte Verde using modern geoarchaeological methods. The results suggest that the famous site may actually be much younger than previously believed, dating to the Holocene rather than the Ice Age.

One of the greatest controversies in American archaeology involves the debate over when the first people arrived in the New World, and long at the center of the debate has been the South American site of Monte Verde, where research that began decades ago produced evidence of a human presence there as early as 14,500 years ago. While marking the beginning of a major paradigm shift in the archaeological world, the site has remained at the heart of the debate over when the first Americans arrived, which has seen its latest challenge in a new paper published in the journal Science. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we examine the newest findings and weigh them against the body of data that argues the existence of a "Pre-Clovis" cultural presence in the Americas.  Image Credit: Claudio Latorre.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is often seen as the problematic byproduct of modern lifestyles that threatens our planet's stability – at least within conversations among environmentalists. But this perspective overlooks the fundamental role of CO2 in everything on Earth, from the food we eat to the houses we live in to our bodies themselves. Despite this reality, the carbon cycle as we know it has been interrupted in ways never before seen in Earth's history. How could understanding the deep history of CO2, as well as humanity's relationship with this controversial and vital molecule, help us prepare for the planetary changes ahead?  In this episode, Nate is joined by science journalist Peter Brannen, who reframes CO2 from an industrial pollutant to a miraculous substance whose critical role within the carbon cycle makes Earth habitable. Peter traces our planet's history through the lens of CO2, including mass extinctions, Snowball Earth events, and the surprisingly stable Holocene period that has cradled human civilization. Peter also addresses humanity's current impact on the carbon cycle, the complexity and resilience of Earth's ecosystems, and the challenges we face as we push climate systems we don't fully understand into unknown territory. How is the carbon cycle unexpectedly connected to the origins of oxygen, dozens of major and minor mass extinctions, and even the beginning of civilizations? How do humanity's current CO2 emissions compare to those of Earth's past? And could understanding the deep time of geology inspire both cosmic wonder and precautionary action, subsequently pushing us towards better decisions for the future? (Conversation recorded on September 23rd, 2025)   About Peter Brannen: Peter Brannen is an award-winning science journalist and contributing writer at The Atlantic, with particular interests in geology, ocean science, deep time, and the carbon cycle. His work has also appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Wired, Aeon, The Boston Globe, Slate and The Guardian among other publications. His book, The Story of CO2 is the Story of Everything, was published earlier this year by Ecco, who also published his previous book, The Ends of the World, about the five major mass extinctions in Earth's history. Peter was a 2023 visiting scholar at the Kluge Center at the Library of Congress, and is an affiliate at the Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research at the University of Colorado-Boulder. He was formerly a 2018 Scripps Fellow at CU-Boulder, a 2015 journalist-in-residence at the National Evolutionary Synthesis Center at Duke University, and a 2011 Ocean Science Journalism Fellow at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Woods Hole, MA. His essays have been featured in the Best American Science and Nature Writing series and in The Climate Book by Greta Thunberg.   Show Notes and More   Watch this video episode on YouTube   Want to learn the broad overview of The Great Simplification in 30 minutes?

Five years ago, Joseph-based pianist Seth Kinzie was awarded a Rotary Peace Fellowship to study peace and social change in Uganda. Since then, Kinzie has created the African Peacemaking Database in Ethiopia and Malawi. He has now released a new album, “Bright Violet,” with the Kinzie Steele Octet and will be performing in Portland at Holocene on Dec. 7. We talk to Kinzie and hear a performance of some of the music inspired by his travels.

In this fun and “soupy” episode, hosts Cara and Chris chat with Dr. Melanie Beasley about putrefied meat, maggots, stable isotopes, and media attention at the most inconvenient times. Dr. Beasley directs the BioAnth Isotope Ecology Research Laboratory (BIER Lab) at Purdue University. Her work focuses broadly on human-environment interactions throughout the hominin lineage when the environment is influencing our evolutionary history, in the Holocene when humans are influencing the availability of prey resources, and in modern forensic contexts when the environment imprints meaningful geolocation information in biological tissues. She uses stable isotope geochemistry to connect humans and the environment they live in to understand changing climate, resource availability, and life history. The use of stable isotope geochemistry and the big data generated by such an analytical method in anthropology has only scratched the surface of what it can offer to the discipline and its contributions to humanity's grand challenges. Through her scholarship, she sees the Anthropology of Tomorrow as an interdisciplinary blending of the social and natural sciences in an applied approach that makes anthropology relevant to living communities. Dr. Beasley is also interested in science communication to engage with the public about anthropology. Please contact her via email if you are interested in working in the lab as an undergraduate or for enquiries about graduate student training. Dr. Beasley is accepting applications for future MA/PhD students. ------------------------------ Find the paper discussed in this episode: Beasley, M. M., Lesnik, J. J., & Speth, J. D. (2025).

In this episode of SpaceTime, we explore the latest astronomical phenomena and significant discoveries that are shaping our understanding of Earth and space.Auroral Displays Light Up the SkiesPlanet Earth has been treated to an extraordinary display of auroras, with both the Aurora Australis and Aurora Borealis lighting up the skies following three powerful X-class solar flares, including an X 5.1 event on November 11. This segment dives into the mechanics behind these solar flares, the resulting coronal mass ejections (CMEs), and how they triggered spectacular auroras visible at lower latitudes than usual, including sightings as far north as Cairns and even Florida.Largest Modern Impact Crater DiscoveredScientists have uncovered what is believed to be the largest modern impact crater on Earth, the 900-metre-wide Jinling Crater in southern China. This well-preserved structure, dating back to the Holocene epoch, offers new insights into extraterrestrial impacts and their effects on our planet. The discovery challenges previous assumptions about the frequency and scale of impacts from small celestial bodies and highlights the importance of studying such geological features.Nasa's Key Communications Dish Out of ServiceIn a significant setback for NASA, the 70-metre Goldstone deep space communications dish has been rendered inoperable due to an accident that occurred in September. The incident has raised concerns about the strain on NASA's Deep Space Network, especially with upcoming missions like Artemis 2. We discuss the implications of this loss for various space missions and the efforts being made to mitigate the impact on communications.The Science RobertIn our science report, we highlight a new projection from the World Meteorological Organisation indicating that 2025 is unlikely to be the hottest year on record, but it will rank among the top three. We also address public health concerns surrounding a measles alert in Australia, linked to declining vaccination rates, and the potential resurgence of preventable diseases. This segment underscores the importance of vaccination in maintaining herd immunity and protecting public health.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesJournal of Geophysical ResearchNature CommunicationsWorld Meteorological Organisation ReportsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-your-guide-to-space-astronomy--2458531/support.

FRANKOPAN1.mp3 - The Holocene, Violent Events, and Climate Change Professor Peter Frankopan | The Earth Transformed: An Untold History The segment introduces The Earth Transformed, focusing on the Holocene and human responses to violent natural events. The collapse of the Laurentide ice dam changed global circulation patterns, warming the Northern Hemisphere and facilitating North American settlement. A massive Norwegian landslide created a tsunami that cut off Great Britain, later influencing British exceptionalism and naval investment. The discussion notes that social transformation hinges on calorie availability, allowing reduced labor input to be redirected toward other activities, creating social hierarchies and competition. New scientific data, including genomics, is transforming our understanding despite patchy historical records.

Rhyss Taylor Lemoine is a postdoctoral researcher in extinction, megafauna, rewilding, and novel ecosystems. Today he speaks to us about the late quaternary extinction. We discuss what megafauna are, their key roles in ecosystems, and the worldwide number and types that died off during the extinction of the late quaternary period (including the present).  Rhyss discusses the two main theories about what drove -- and still drives -- these extinctions, overKILL and overCHILL. He then tells us why he and his research team posit that climate change was a lesser factor driving these extinctions. For Rhyss, the extinctions are best explained by the introduction of a novel, insatiable, armed predator. One that could attack the largest and most dangerous animals from a distance with relatively little risk to itself. In other words, humans did it.One of the evidences he considers is that the extinctions of the late quaternary continue to this day, and the current culprit in large animal extinction is not in dispute.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-history-of-being-human--5806452/support.

In the late quaternary period, from about 50 to 10 thousand years ago, vast populations of large animals died out.  Among them are some of the most iconic of prehistoric creatures -- mammoths, mastodons, woolly rhinoceri, dire wolves, smilodons, giant sloths, cave bears, and on and on.  In North America, more than 70% of species over 40kg (about 100lb) disappeared. In South America, it was even more.  Eurasia and Australia lost most of their large animals, including mammals, birds, and reptiles.What happened?Did the opportinistic pathogen known as Homo sapiens sapiens wipe them out?  Or was it the climactic upheaval of the ending of the last ice age?  Something else entirely?Lively and ongoing debate surrounds this topic still.  In this episode we go over the theories proposed and the relative merits of each.  Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-history-of-being-human--5806452/support.

Recent advances in genetics and paleoanthropology are revealing a complex world where multiple hominin species coexisted, interbred, and left behind their DNA in modern populations. Fossils like the Denisovan jawbone Penghu-1 found in Taiwan and enigmatic remains from Red Deer Cave suggest that some archaic humans may have survived into the Holocene, much later than previously thought. Meanwhile, studies of modern genomes have uncovered “genetic ghosts”—traces of unknown ancient populations for which no physical remains have been found, particularly in Africa and Southeast Asia. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we look at these and other recent discoveries challenging our past thinking on ancient humans, which point to a tangled web of migrations and ancient interactions. We look at global folklore and indigenous traditions that describe reclusive, bipedal, humanlike creatures that bear striking similarities across cultures, which raise profound questions about how many kinds of humans once walked the Earth—and whether some still might.
