Scientists recently discovered bats, like Tuvan throat singers and death-metal vocalists, produce sound using ventricular folds instead of vocal cords. A Danish biologist found bats use these for low-frequency calls. With their ability to also make extremely high-pitched calls, bats possess an unparalleled vocal range. The Center for Biological Diversity argues this makes them more akin to grindcore vocalists, who utilize both very low and very high frequencies.

The Center for Biological Diversity, a 501c3 nonprofit, works to secure a future for all species through science, law, and creative media. Check out our video to hear biodiversity-loving grindcore artists and see brutally cute bats. Learn more at biologicaldiversity.org or email us at center@biologicaldiversity.org.

Indigenous women from across the Arctic are vital experts, offering crucial knowledge and solutions to the climate crisis. They actively contribute to the Paris Agreement, climate change mitigation, and a Just Transition. Simultaneously, they are on the frontlines, experiencing direct impacts on their lands, livelihoods, ways of life, and health.

This session will feature their leadership and solutions, exploring how to best support their efforts. Panelists include Yana Tanagasheva (Batani Fund), Valentina Sovkina (Russian Indigenous Women Network), Hanne Svinsas Magga (Sámi Center for Psychological Support), and Panganga Pungowiyi (Indigenous Environmental Network).

Southern California Edison (SCE) aims to cut carbon emissions 40% below 1990 levels by 2030, targeting an 80% carbon-free electric grid. Gary Barsley outlines SCE's strategy for achieving clean power and widespread electrification.

This involves decarbonizing the electric sector, electrifying transportation and buildings, and significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions. SCE's Emerging Products division actively assesses new technologies to support these ambitious goals.
