Scientists in Siberia discovered a 50,000-year-old baby woolly mammoth with preserved flesh and skin. The discovery, along with a mummified saber-toothed kitten, was attributed to melting permafrost caused by climate change. The hosts joke about the risks of "bird flu" from petting prehistoric remains.

White House science advisor John Holdren discussed the dangers of methane release from thawing Arctic permafrost, describing it as a "positive feedback" loop for global warming. The administration's goal is to keep global temperature increases below 2 degrees Celsius. Achieving this would require a 50% reduction in carbon emissions by 2050 and near-zero emissions by 2100.
