Sea ice is melting at both poles. New technology reveals rugged undersides of Antarctic ice shelves, accelerating their melt from warm water. Scientists Peter Wadhams and Patrick Hogan explain that this massive ice loss shifts Earth's mass, increasing tectonic activity and altering ocean currents, with significant implications for sea-level rise.

We must abandon linear thinking for exponential climate changes. Coastal communities face growing danger; rebuilding oceanfront areas after increasingly powerful storms is unsustainable. This increased tectonic activity also raises earthquake likelihood.

The Arctic's thawing ice threatens to release vast methane hydrate stores, a gas 84 times more potent than CO2. This potential tipping point could dangerously spike atmospheric

The Arctic's thawing ice threatens to release vast methane hydrate stores, a gas 84 times more potent than CO2. This potential tipping point could dangerously spike atmospheric heating.

Peter Fiekowsky and Peter Wadhams propose enhancing natural methane oxidation with Iron Chloride, a method explained in Fiekowsky's book, *Climate Restoration: The Only Future that will Sustain the Human Race*. Funding this planetary "life insurance" is critical.

Cities are significant sources of greenhouse gas emissions, yet they can actively contribute to environmental decarbonization. Peter Droege, an architect and leading expert in sustainable design

Cities are significant sources of greenhouse gas emissions, yet they can actively contribute to environmental decarbonization. Peter Droege, an architect and leading expert in sustainable design and urban planning, offers ten immediate action points for cities. His insights were featured as the introduction to our conference, "The Architecture of Transition," which explored the built environment's pivotal role in shaping sustainable futures through imaginative and precise design.

Drawing from Eastern wisdom and Western science, Peter Russell, with degrees in theoretical physics, experimental psychology, and computer

Drawing from Eastern wisdom and Western science, Peter Russell, with degrees in theoretical physics, experimental psychology, and computer science from Cambridge, applies a sharp, critical mind to self-awakening. He asserts that humanity's next great frontier is inner space – the development of the human mind – addressing profound questions about non-duality, consciousness, and reality.

Russell has authored ten books, including *The Global Brain Awakens* and *From Science to God: A Physicist’s Journey into the Mystery of Consciousness*, synthesizing scientific rationale with intuitive wisdom.

Peter Singer, author of "Famine, Affluence and Morality,” discusses effective altruism and our moral obligation to help others. This philosophy advocates for raising minimum living standards, encouraging everyone—not just the wealthy—to contribute and find happiness in improving the world.

Singer outlines the movement's history, highlighting Zell Kravinsky, who exemplified effective altruism by donating most of his wealth and a kidney to a stranger. He also emphasizes the critical need for thorough research before donating to any cause, ensuring the greatest possible good.

Maanit Goel, 17, from Washington State, learned about the critically endangered Southern Resident orcas. Only 75 remain in the Salish Sea, threatened by declining Chinook salmon, their primary food source, in the Snake River-Columbia River system.

In 2021, Goel founded the Washington Youth Ocean & River Conservation Alliance (WYORCA) to mobilize youth. WYORCA advocates removing four lower Snake River dams, impeding salmon migration and harming orcas. Goel argues renewable energy shouldn't sacrifice a keystone species. With 30 volunteers, WYORCA educated over 6,000 students, held 20+ congressional meetings, and coordinated events. The group earned Congressional recognition and an EPA award; Goel also spoke at the UN Biodiversity Conference (COP15).

Peter Pham delivered a speech at the 2021 Brower Youth Awards, a virtual event held on October 14.
