Thanks for joining us here on Curiosity Daily from Discovery, the best place to get smarter in just a few minutes.

My name is Nate.

Hello, hello, my name is Callie and you are here with us today at Curiosity Daily.

Thanks so much.

We are excited to have you with us.

Today you'll learn about a new tech that could turn all that nasty CO2 into electricity. The genes that allow cancer cells to metastasize,

and the incredible healing hearts of zebrafish.

Let's jump into it.

Since the middle of last century, carbon dioxide levels in the Earth's

atmosphere have been steadily climbing. In 1960 the global average for

atmospheric CO2 was around 315 parts per million. Today it's around 420 parts per million.

And we talk a lot about the rise of artificial intelligence and the wild technological advances

coming out of science, but really the climate change caused mostly by that carbon dioxide

is the defining story of our era.

Yeah, it's hard to argue against that. We are pumping over 36 billion tons of CO2 into the atmosphere every single year and it's acting like a

blanket trapping heat inside our little bubble warming the seas the air and us along

with it we even talked a little bit about carbon sequestration tech on the show before.

Right, and the idea is that if there's too much CO2 in the air, we ought to be able to find a way

to suck it out and trap it somewhere. We've talked about underground or at the bottom of the ocean or something like that, but it's really, really hard to do at a scale that matters.

Exactly. As of this moment, the most efficient carbon sequestration machines are trees. One major problem with

industrial sequestration is that it takes energy, huge amounts of energy, and

burning huge amounts of energy is you know what got us into this mess in the first place.
