The audacity of Shell asking YOU what YOUโ€™RE willing to do to reduce emissions. ๐Ÿ™„ Theyโ€™re showing you RIGHT HERE how the suggestion that indiv choices - not systems - are a main driver of climate change is a fossil fuel talking point. Yes, make good choices. Reign in FF corps.

Fun fact, the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climat Change) Working Group 3 Lead Author meeting starts tomorrow in Bangkok, amidst one of the worst climate change disasters ever to hit the city. JFC.
JUST IN: Bangkok, Thailand declares state of disaster in all 50 of the city's districts amid severe flooding.

What we must do immediately: 1) End the use of fossil fuels 2) Build massive amounts of solar & wind 3) Electrify everything 4) Localize 5) Conserve 5) Find solutions for the last hard stuff (planes, cement) 6) Stop cutting down forests #ActOnClimate buff.ly/3r2I3Ee

Germany pledges to phase out fossil fuels for first time with target of 2045. Campaigners say plan marks notable shift away from oil and gas as previously pledges were only for carbon neutrality. theguardian.com/environment/โ€ฆ

Good to see Foreign Secretary presenting findings of the suppressed Joint Intelligence Report on ecosystem collapse to other governments. But when is it going to be shared with the rest of us? It should be published in full theguardian.com/environment/โ€ฆ

I asked the programmer if AI might kill off humanity and she said: donโ€™t worry climate change will kill us first. So I asked the climatologist if weโ€™ll pass the 1.5ยฐ threshold and he said: donโ€™t worry AI will kill us first. So I asked the historian and she just said: worry.

We know with high certainty climate change will produce catastrophic civilizational consequences, while AI ending civilization is highly speculative. Itโ€™s worth asking why weโ€™ve retreated from confronting the former while elevating the latter into an existential certainty.
Jacob is correct hereโ€”we really do earnestly believe AI could kill all humans! I personally think it is >10% within the next decade. I believe Anthropic is trying its best, but we do not yet have a plan to solve alignment for superintelligence and are not clearly on track to.

Tech giants are racing to build energy-hungry AI data centres, powered by fossil fuels. They're cashing in whilst worsening climate breakdown. We will live with the consequences - more droughts in summer, floods in winter. Ban data centres that rely on fossil fuels.

Donโ€™t worryโ€ฆ Trump says AI wonโ€™t kill us, just like he says Climate change is a hoax.

We are watching the same mistake again. Build something huge, ignore the environmental cost and scale it as fast as possible because billions are at stake. The billionaires get richer while ordinary people pay the price. AI data centres are consuming enormous amounts of electricity and driving up demand. The people making billions wonโ€™t be the ones dealing with higher bills, polluted air, extreme heat, water shortages and climate damage. They make the money. We get the fucking consequences.

AI: โ€œIโ€™ll soon be increasing exponentially!โ€ Sea Surface Temperature: โ€œHold my beer.โ€ I miss the good old days when we just faced one extinction level threat at a time.
With the usual caution that sea-surface temperatures are preliminary for 2 weeks, I give you the global SST for September 8th and a bigger y-axis:

The way people are suddenly shitting themselves about AI is the way they should have been shitting themselves about climate change for the last 40โ€™years.

Tech bros telling you the world is ending: mass coverage and widespread media alarm. Scientists telling you the world is ending: very few front pages and broadcasters telling you theyโ€™re wrong. #AI #climate

We need to shift the narrative from make petrol cheap to make petrol redundant. The longer we rely on fossil fuels, the more expensive life becomes.
