International organizations, or “IOs” for short, are typically organizations to which multiple countries belong as members. They cover virtually every aspect of human endeavor and there are many that are related to environmental protection. International organizations may influence our lives quite profoundly and yet, outside our own field, we might struggle to name more than a few of them. Furthermore, it has been proposed that most of them are not functioning entities, but rather so-called“zombie organizations”.That's what Julia Gray has suggested. Julia is an associate professor of political science at the University of Pennsylvania, who has been researching zombie organizations for years. She joins me to explain how zombie organizations come about; why we don't notice them; and what are their consequences.Links to resourcesLife, Death, or Zombie?

We'd love to hear from you! Send us a text message.In this episode of "Discover Daily" by Perplexity, we begin with news that former Apple design chief Jony Ive has joined forces with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman to create an innovative AI hardware device, aiming to revolutionize how we interact with technology. This collaboration, backed by substantial funding, could reshape the tech landscape and challenge current smartphone paradigms.We then turn our attention to the Antarctic ozone hole, which reached one of its largest sizes on record in 2023. Despite overall ozone layer recovery since the Montreal Protocol, recent years have seen unexpectedly large ozone holes. Scientists are investigating potential causes, including the effects of the 2022 Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai volcanic eruption, highlighting the complex interplay between ozone depletion, climate change, and atmospheric dynamics.Our deep dive focuses on a mysterious radio signal that traveled through space for 8 billion years before reaching Earth. This fast radio burst, known as FRB 20220610A, is one of the most distant and energetic ever detected. It offers a unique glimpse into the early universe and could help solve the puzzle of "missing matter" in the cosmos. As astronomers anticipate detecting thousands more FRBs in the coming years, these enigmatic signals may revolutionize our understanding of the universe's structure and evolution.From Perplexity's Discover Feed: https://www.perplexity.ai/page/jony-ive-s-openai-hardware-pro-r3yLECGkTKqHwjpr7oY7Twhttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/south-pole-s-ozone-hole-sEdNtglfSPu6.zGxj2stswhttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/8-billion-year-old-signal-rece-iAlx5udZTfO5Gdv6nqTi2QPerplexity is the fastest and most powerful way to search the web.

Today's Titans interview is with the key figure in one of science's modern triumphs. Susan Solomon and her team were the first to theorise and prove what was causing the hole in the ozone layer above the Antarctic, and why it was growing: chlorofluorocarbon pollutants humans were emitting. What followed is a testament to what can be achieved in the face of significant challenges with international collaboration. What lessons does it hold for how we tackle climate change?

This episode originally aired on June 27, 2022: In this week's episode, Sonak Patel and Hannah Cunningham discuss the Montreal Protocol and the environmental crisis that was the discovery of the depletion of the ozone layer. Did the Montreal Protocol work? Did we save the ozone layer? And, if we did, can we also band together to address the environmental crisis of the 21st century: climate change?Program log.★ Support this podcast ★ ★ Support this podcast ★
In this episode, Ralph and Luc spotlight an environmental success story: the Montreal Protocol's role in healing the ozone layer. We draw comparisons to the pitfalls of the IPCC's COP process and try to derive a diplomatic blueprint for climate policy. We look into the science of how ozone and chlorine works in the stratosphere, the history of the activist scientists (Sherwood Roland and Mario Molina) who first sounded the alarm about CFC's destruction of the ozone layer, and the work of technocrats in devising their replacement. We also examine the geopolitical dynamics that were foundational to this planetary victory.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: What convincing warning shot could help prevent extinction from AI?, published by Charbel-Raphaël on April 13, 2024 on LessWrong. Tell me father, when is the line where ends everything good and fine? I keep searching, but I don't find. The line my son, is just behind. Camille Berger There is hope that some "warning shot" would help humanity get its act together and change its trajectory to avoid extinction from AI. However, I don't think that's necessarily true. There may be a threshold beyond which the development and deployment of advanced AI becomes essentially irreversible and inevitably leads to existential catastrophe. Humans might be happy, not even realizing that they are already doomed. There is a difference between the "point of no return" and "extinction." We may cross the point of no return without realizing it. Any useful warning shot should happen before this point of no return. We will need a very convincing warning shot to change civilization's trajectory. Let's define a "convincing warning shot" as "more than 50% of policy-makers want to stop AI development." What could be examples of convincing warning shots? For example, a researcher I've been talking to, when asked what they would need to update, answered, "An AI takes control of a data center." This would be probably too late. "That's only one researcher," you might say? This study from Tetlock brought together participants who disagreed about AI risks. The strongest crux exhibited in this study was whether an evaluation group would find an AI with the ability to autonomously replicate and avoid shutdown. The skeptics would get from P(doom) 0.1% to 1.0%. But 1% is still not much… Would this be enough for researchers to trigger the fire alarm in a single voice? More generally, I think studying more "warning shot theory" may be crucial for AI safety: How can we best prepare the terrain before convincing warning shots happen? e.g. How can we ensure that credit assignments are done well? For example, when Chernobyl happened, the credit assignments were mostly misguided: people lowered their trust in nuclear plants in general but didn't realize the role of the USSR in mishandling the plant. What lessons can we learn from past events? (Stuxnet, Covid, Chernobyl, Fukushima, the Ozone Layer).[1] Could a scary demo achieve the same effect as a real-world warning shot without causing harm to people? What is the time needed to react to a warning shot? One month, year, day? More generally, what actions would become possible after a specific warning shot but weren't before? What will be the first large-scale accidents or small warning shots? What warning shots are after the point of no return and which ones are before? Additionally, thinking more about the points of no return and the shape of the event horizon seems valuable: Is Autonomous Replication and Adaptation in the wild the point of no return? In the case of an uncontrolled AGI, as described in this scenario, would it be possible to shut down the Internet if necessary? What is a good practical definition of the point of no return? Could we open a Metaculus for timelines to the point of no return? There is already some literature on warning shots, but not much, and this seems neglected, important, and tractable. We'll probably get between 0 and 10 shots, let's not waste them. (I wrote this post, but don't have the availability to work on this topic. I just want to raise awareness about it. If you want to make warning shot theory your agenda, do it.) ^ An inspiration might be this post-mortem on Three Mile Island. Thanks for listening.

Just a couple years after Thomas Midgley, Jr. invented leaded gas in the 20s, he followed up that achievement by inventing chlorofluorocarbons or CFCs, which were sold by Du Pont under the brand name of Freon. The crown jewel of his work was the creation of Dichlorodifluoromethane, or CFC-12. This substance allowed for more people to experience the wonders of electric food refrigeration as well as indoor air conditioning. For over 40 years everyone assumed the Freon was perfectly safe, and in fact safer than other chemicals used in refrigeration. It wasn't until the 1970s, years after Midgley had died, that the horrible truth was discovered: CFCs were eating away at the Earth's ozone layer. The ozone layer is a region in the stratosphere that absorbs 97 to 99 percent of the Sun's medium-frequency ultraviolet light, which otherwise would potentially damage life. The deterioration of this protective layer threatened all life on earth with increased risk of cancer and other ecological problems. People realized the extent of the damage in 1985 when it was discovered that there was a massive hole in the Ozone layer above the Antarctic. This emergency situation led in 1987 to the creation of an international treaty called The Montreal Protocol on Substances That Deplete the Ozone Layer. Because of this agreement, which was signed by all of the members of the United Nations and has an extremely high compliance rate, climate projections indicate that the ozone layer will return to 1980 levels between 2040 and 2066. One possible apocalypse averted because of global cooperation. This is the story of one guy who just wanted to make money for himself and the companies he worked for (specifically Frigidaire, General Motors, and DuPont), and how his second big invention eventually forced the entire world to pull off a massive effort to avoid global ecological disaster.

This week, Bryony speaks with Jason Anderson, Senior Program Director at ClimateWorks, who oversees the Governance & Diplomacy and Super Pollutant programs. His work spans efforts ranging from implementing the Paris Agreement to cleaning up dirty shipping and preventing methane leakage. Jason has over 25 years of experience in climate and clean energy, beginning in the solar energy conversion office at the U.S. Department of Energy, which led him to promote photovoltaics for rural electrification in Central America. Jason then worked in a range of climate organizations in Brussels for 15 years, ranging from Climate Action Network Europe to the Institute for European Environmental Policy to the World Wildlife Foundation (WWF). Jason was a lead author of the IPCC special reports on ozone and climate interactions, and on carbon capture and storage; in 2007 Jason was acknowledged for his contribution to the IPCC's Nobel Peace Prize. Jason holds a Masters in Public Policy degree and a Masters in Science in energy and resources from the University of California Berkeley, and a degree in biological anthropology from Harvard University.

Granholm is now going to transition our military into EV's. How interesting this is going to work – are there charging stations in the middle of warzones? These are people who will never pay the price. This is fantasy, the new tomorrow…. you can't fight a war on BATTERIES. The Biden administration has now declared war on your air conditioner. Freon is now the devil and going to burn a hole in the Ozone Layer. How is it that over half the country doesn't pay taxes, but Washington is still trying to make everyone beholden to them. We take money from half the country and give it to other half. We take the money of the working and give it to the non-working. The Government knows that there is always people that are going to work. But if they can get more than 50 percent of the people to NOT work and NEED the Government for their whole lives, they have the power forever, they will never lose a political race again. Tune in now to hear about the state of our Country. https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/3981417-supreme-court-to-consider-overruling-chevron-doctrine/ https://www.onelapofamerica.com/

When people are found guilty of crimes, they are sentenced and serve some sort of punishment and that's the end of the story... right? WRONG! At least not here in the Cancelled courtroom, especially not for Gwyneth "bone broth is an entire meal" Paltrow. This week we put Gwynny on trial again, this time for some dangerous eating habits, skiing (kinda) and also for the historic crime of being mean to Winona Ryder. But, is the sentence tough enough to stop her perfect goopy face from ending up in court for a third time? Plus more of your lazy gewl stories!

00:47 Wildfire smoke's chemical composition enhances ozone depletionSmoke from the devastating Australian wildfires of 2019-2020 led to a reduction in ozone levels in the upper atmosphere, but it's been unclear how. Now, a team proposes that smoke's particulate matter can enhance the production of ozone depleting chemicals, matching satellite observations during the Australian fires. The results spark concerns that future wildfires, which are set to grow more frequent with ongoing climate change, will undo much of the progress towards restoration of the ozone layer.Research article: Solomon et al.News & Views: How wildfires deplete ozone in the stratosphere08:27 Research HighlightsA global analysis of bats reveals the species most likely to be hunted by humans, and the stem cells that allow deer antlers to regrow.Research Highlight: Big bats fly towards extinction with hunters in pursuitResearch Highlight: Mice grow ‘mini-antlers' thanks to deers' speedy stem cells10:53 Modelling food systems with ‘digital twins'Recent global crises have highlighted the fragility of the interconnected systems involved in getting food from farm to fork. However, siloed datasets have made it hard to predict what the exact impacts of these events will be. In a World View for Nature, researcher Zia Mehrabi argues that precise virtual models like those used in the aerospace industry should be developed for food systems.

The hole in the ozone layer is getting smaller, experts say.
In the 1980s, the world came together to ban CFCs, commonly used chemicals that were destroying the atmosphere's ozone layer. Are there lessons we can apply to tackling climate change? Paul Newman and David Victor join Meghna Chakrabarti.

In one of the great environmental success stories of our time, scientists say that a 35-year-old agreement has resulted in the steady and promising recovery of the Earth's ozone layer, a critical protective shield that blocks harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun. Dr. Paul Newman, chief scientist for Earth sciences at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, joins William Brangham to discuss. PBS NewsHour is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders
It was nearly impossible to find quality reporting on the U.S. House Speaker's race. Jacki shares her view of what was ultimately a great victory for America that never would have happened without a rebellion. - - - - - Donna Jackson of Project21 (National Center for Public Policy Research) shares her testimony to Congress explaining that the green agenda impacts minority communities disproportionately. One in five Americans has to choose between energy bills and necessities – heating and eating – and this percentage is doubled in minority communities. - - - - - Texas legislators prepare to derail Biden's proposed offshore wind farm off the Texas coast. The feds need the state's permission to run lines from the federal waters to the state's shores. Texas legislator Mayes Middleton explains that these farms and the lines interfere with commercial shipping, recreational fishing, and Texas wildlife. Moreover, the European-designed wind turbines and blades cannot withstand a category 4 or 5 hurricane, meaning they are destined for destruction if placed in the Texas Gulf Coast - arguably the worst place in America. Or anywhere on earth. Why should taxpayers foot the bill for a project that will be destroyed by mother nature? Sure, the wind farm builders will get to make money over and over again at taxpayer expense each time the wind farm is destroyed and rebuilt, but this is not a serious plan for resolving energy demand. - - - - - Jacki shares a good news update: The ozone layer appears to be recovering steadily. The catastrophic prognosis of the 1990s was unwarranted as we see once more that mankind and mother nature are in fact capable of resolving environmental challenges. - - - - - Why did Sam Bankman Fried's FTX - a company that had, effectively, no Board - have a higher ESG rating than Exxon-Mobil?! "G" stands for "governance." And Crypto is supposedly one of the most energy-intensive, least green businesses on earth. - - - - - AOC and gas stoves; Government can cut off your electricity much easier than your natural gas.
Global action and a commitment by nation's leaders to stop producing a harmful chemical used in aerosols and refrigerators has shifted the course of this looming problem. Reset learns more about how the world changed course with climate scientist Kristina Dahl and ozone layer expert Stephen Montzka.

A UN report has found the Earth's ozone layer is on course to be healed within the next 40 years. What was once humanity's most feared environmental peril is now an example of how the world can take collective action. Madeleine Finlay speaks to atmospheric scientist Paul Newman about this momentous achievement and whether it really is the end of the story.
