Climate scientists spend a lot of time trying to measure whether, and how, the world around us is changing over time. And journalists spend a lot of time going through all their work before deciding what may be worth the attention of busy readers.

This week’s Climate Watch newsletter rounds up a handful of studies that made our cut. What's interesting about shrinking polar bears in the Arctic? More swarms of desert locusts in Africa? And slowing ocean currents in the Atlantic? 

Read on to find out. Let us know what you think in the comments!

A newly published Stanford University study surveyed residents of 17 senior communities around the country after they experienced VR, usually for the first time.

Almost 80% of seniors reported having a more positive attitude after their VR session and almost 60% said they felt less socially isolated.

The Biden administration said the government intends to provide $1.5 billion to the computer chip company GlobalFoundries to expand its domestic production in New York and Vermont.

The announcement is the third award of direct financial support for a semiconductor company under the 2022 CHIPS and Science Act.

“Winning a BAFTA is a huge honour. It shows the power of eyewitness journalism and underscores the importance of the work that AP does all round the world. This film stands as a record of what happened to Mariupol and its people, and it’s incredible that our journalism is reaching new audiences through film,” said Derl McCrudden, AP’s head of global news production. “This would never have been possible without our brave colleagues reporting from Mariupol and everything they did to ensure the world could see the destruction of the city and what ordinary people were going through. Thanks to everyone involved, including our partners at Frontline PBS for helping us bring this film to life.”

The arrival of increasingly realistic AI-generated voices is forcing video game actors to navigate an emerging technology that could threaten their careers or bring new opportunities.

Two years after California launched an effort to keep organic waste out of landfills, the state is so far behind on getting food recycling programs up and running that it’s widely accepted next year’s ambitious waste-reduction targets won’t be met.

Over time, food scraps and other organic materials like yard waste emit methane, a gas more potent and damaging in the short-term than carbon emissions from fossil fuels. California’s goal is to keep that waste from piling up in landfills, instead turning it into compost or biogas.

Everything from banana peels and used coffee grounds to yard waste and soiled paper products like pizza boxes counts as organic waste. Households and businesses are now supposed to sort that material into a different bin.But it has been hard to change people’s behavior in such a short period of time and cities were delayed setting up contracts to haul organic waste due to the pandemic.

Meanwhile, some communities that ramped up collection now have more compost than they know what to do with, a sign that more challenges are yet to come as the nation’s most populous state plows ahead with its recycling plans.

They’re not the corn, soybeans, wheat or cotton that have dominated for decades. Instead, they’re crops that many companies, philanthropic organizations and national and international entities tout as promising alternatives to fight climate change.

But while some researchers and farmers are optimistic about their potential, they also say drastic changes would need to happen in markets and processing before we ever see fields full of these out-of-the-box plants.

The maker of ChatGPT is now diving into AI-generated video.

Meet Sora — OpenAI's new text-to-video generator. The tool, which the San Francisco company unveiled Thursday, uses generative artificial intelligence to instantly create short videos based on written commands.

Sora isn't the first to demonstrate this kind of technology. But industry analysts point to the high quality of the tool's videos displayed so far, and note that its introduction marks a significant leap for both OpenAI and the future of text-to-video generation overall.

Still, as with all things in the rapidly growing AI space today, such technology also raises fears about potential ethical and societal implications. Here's what you need to know with The Associated Press: https://lnkd.in/e2WEv3eP
