It’s not often that I make a video with a title this bleak, but unfortunately, needs must. Several pieces of new research point to the inevitability of West Antarctic Ice Sheet collapse, which is pretty bad news. But what we do with this bad news is still up to us.
Here, I talk to the lead author of one of these new papers, Dr Kaitlin Naughten. She tells me what it all means, including why we need to focus on adaptation, and why we must take courage, not hope, from this information.

There’s an understandable focus on the the energy transition in the United States right now. But down in South America there is a quiet revolution going on in renewable power which could see that continent decarbonise far sooner than its northern neighbour.

Step inside Skara Brae as new 3D scans peel back 5,000 years of stonecraft.
See how upright flagstone orthostats, midden-packed walls, and stone drains built warm, durable homes on Orkney’s coast.
LiDAR and photogrammetry expose wall thicknesses, passage geometry, and hidden construction sequences.
We weave human story with hard measurements—what the data proves, what life likely felt like.
By the end, you’ll know how these rooms stood so long—and what digital archaeology is revealing next.
