BBC Inside Science
Should Pluto become a planet again?

This BBC podcast is supported by ads outside the UK. Niin sua. ElÀmÀ on.

BBC Inside Science
Should Pluto become a planet again?

Aloitimme taustan kaksi vuotta sitten. Kun sanon me, tarkoitan Color Foundationin yhteistyötÀ Tel Avivin yliopistossa. Ajatus on, kuten sanoit, ettÀ AI kÀsittelee nyt maailmamme ja antaa meille paljon uusia mahdollisuuksia.

TÀmÀ on yksi asia. Toinen asia on se, ettÀ me saamme jÀrjestÀviÀ tietokoneita ihmisten kuvauksista. TÀmÀ yhdistelmÀ nÀistÀ kaksi tietokoneista on kuitenkin erittÀin mielenkiintoista, kun ajatellaan ihmisten kanssa.

to make a serious advance in decoding animal communication. So if we think of a dolphin, for example, that is whistling, if there's a group that shows that they made clear advance in understanding what these whistles mean, that could be enough to win the prize. Of course, ultimately, we hope that somebody will develop, let's call it a machine, which can...

voidaan autonnollisesti kommunikoida elÀimellÀ, joten voidaan ajatella, ettÀ se on melkein keskustelu, vaikka olen hieman skeptinen keskustelusta, mutta ajattelemme vain, ettÀ pysyvÀt pysyvÀt, kone vastaa, pysyvÀt sitten vastaa ja niin edelleen ja niin edelleen, monimutkaisessa kontekstissa. Olemme myös tarkastaneet, ettÀ se pitÀÀ olla monimutkaisessa kontekstissa, ei vain yksi kontekstissa.

BBC Inside Science
Should Pluto become a planet again?

I would say neither. I do believe that human language is unique. There is a leap there. It's different from any other animal communication system that we're familiar with because of its ability to, what I'm doing right now, to concatenate words into sentences that have different meanings. We're not aware of any animal that has that, but

Just like we've just heard about chimpanzees, we're discovering that animal, let's call them communication systems, are more complex than we've previously thought. Even when it comes to an animal, as you said, so close to us, chimpanzees, we really didn't know enough because people were just not collecting enough data. Well, our common ancestor with chimpanzees is pretty recent. I think our common ancestor with the African striped mouse goes a lot further back. We've got a clip of the African striped mouse talking now.

Wittgenstein sanoi, ettÀ vaikka hieno voisi puhua, emme pysty ymmÀrtÀmÀÀn sitÀ. YmmÀrrÀn tÀmÀn ajattelun. EnemmÀn tÀrkeÀmpiÀ ihmisiÀ kuin minÀ ovat sanoneet sen jo aiemmin. Me olemme hyvin erilaisia elÀimiÀ. Jos ymmÀrrÀmme elÀimen kommunikaatioa, se on varmasti niin...

paljon vÀhemmistöisemmin kuin meidÀn, ettÀ me emme ole koskaan voineet, mielestÀni, kommunikoida tai keskustella elÀimistÀ niin kuin te ja minÀ teemme nyt. TÀmÀ ei tarkoita, ettÀ emme voi... Olen varma, ettÀ emme voi ymmÀrtÀÀ heitÀ paljon enemmÀn, ymmÀrtÀÀ, mitÀ he sanovat, ymmÀrtÀÀ ehkÀ niiden tarinoita. Ja tietenkin on myös uusi suunta, tai pitÀisin sanoa, ehkÀ vanha uusi suunta, jossa ihmiset opettavat elÀimiÀ

to use human communication. So we're seeing a renaissance of this approach where for example dog owners are providing keyboards to dogs and allowing them to press different keys in order to communicate with humans. So this could be another avenue for improving our communication with animals that is not based on the animals' communications on their own endogenous communication.

Why is Europe the fastest-warming continent?

Tervetuloa! Olen Tom Whipple ja tervetuloa Inside Sciencein BBC World ServiceistÀ. TÀmÀn viikon esityksessÀ muistamme yhden genomiakirjaston ala-ajan johtajan. Tarkastellaan lisÀÀ akademiaa Yhdysvalloissa. Ja myöhemmin Caroline Steele kÀsittelee joitain kirjoja, jotka tulivat viikossa löytÀmÀÀn parhaat tutkimustietoja.

BBC Inside Science
Why is Europe the fastest-warming continent?

But before all that, there's something up with Europe's climate. And yes, there's something up with it even compared to the things that are up with other continents' climates.

In the Arctic Circle they saw temperatures of 30 Celsius. In Vestfold, in definitively non-tropical Norway, there were ten consecutive tropical nights, nights when the temperature never fell below 20 Celsius. In Greenland, the year's ice loss comfortably exceeded the volume of all the glaciers left in the Alps.

Tulevaisuudessa 1,3 miljoonaa kilometriÀ vÀhemmÀn eurooppalainen maa oli nukkumaan kuin normaalia. YmpÀrillÀ oli Ruotsi, Italiassa, Ruotsissa, Suomessa ja Austriassa. Ja Turkissa oli 50,5 kelsiÀ.

BBC Inside Science
Why is Europe the fastest-warming continent?

Yes, predictably grimly, Europe's annual weather report card is in. There was more sun, more heat, less rain, except in Iberia where there was loads more rain, and at one point a record 10,000 square kilometres of wildfires were burning.

BBC Inside Science
Why is Europe the fastest-warming continent?

The European State of the Climate Study has found that, once again, we're getting warmer, with all that means. This is not, though, just a global global warming story. It is a regional global warming story. Since the 1990s, the report notes, global average temperature has increased by around 0.27 degrees Celsius per decade. In Europe, it's double that. It is the fastest warming continent.

Kiitos, Dr. Samantha Burgess. Caroline, sinÀ olet minulla. Samantha huomioi, ettÀ Svalbard on yksi maailman parhaimmista lÀmpötilanteista. Olet ollut siellÀ. Miten polttoaineet? Polttoaineet tekevÀt todennÀköisesti hyvin.

KyllÀ, kyllÀ. 100 pÀivÀÀ enemmÀn. Varsinkin ero. MennÀÀn Polar Bearille ja miksi, koska se on todella mielenkiintoista heidÀn totemikkojeni. Mutta enemmÀn yksinkertaisesti, mitÀ se on niin? MitÀ ihmiset sanoo? HeidÀn pitÀisi nÀhdÀ tÀtÀ. Ihmiset pitÀisi huomioida tÀtÀ vuosina.

BBC Inside Science
Why is Europe the fastest-warming continent?

HyvÀ. HyvÀÀ menettÀminen meille, ettÀ menit tuohon. Kuusi vuotta sitten Bill Clinton ja Tony Blair jÀivÀt pressikonferenssiin, jossa jÀrjestettiin ensimmÀinen ihmisen genomi. TÀnÀÀn, sanoi Clinton, opimme kielen, jossa Jumala on luonut elÀmÀÀ. Ja sitten joku, joka ei ollut todennÀköisesti siellÀ, joka on saanut paikansa vain ainoastaan maverikkojen voimasta, tuli puhumaan.

BBC Inside Science
Why is Europe the fastest-warming continent?

Well, so at the time, the thing I find fascinating is there was an easy narrative that sometimes journalists fell into where there were the goodies and the baddies. And there was this thing, the Human Genome Project, which was this transatlantic, publicly funded science project, three billion dollars to read the code of life. And then there was Craig Venter, who came along and thought they were doing it wrong. He thought they were doing it slowly and ponderously and expensively. And here this other approach, which was shotgun sequencing, it was called, where you...
