The name Drawdown comes from our NYT best selling coffee table book, which outlines 100 climate solutions.

The name sometimes, unfortunately, gets confused with carbon removal, but it really is about just stopping climate change. And, as you say, that’s almost entirely about cutting emissions.

Want to learn more about real climate solutions, which are grounded in science — and avoid the tech hype and AI gibberish?

Then check out the Drawdown Explorer.

Done by humans, for humans.

This is just wrong.

I don’t mind grammar checks and basic writing feedback, but impersonating the writing advice of living and dead people is just gross.

Let’s keep our editors *human* please.

I'm a sucker for really good interactive science visualizations.

Check out this one that lets you explore a map of the known universe. It's beautiful, engaging, and very well done.

Good. Noem is out.

But just how corrupt do you have to be for Trump to fire you for unseemly conduct?

IF its training prioritized factual accuracy and helping people rehumanize and connect, it could provide social benefit.

Instead it's trained to provide a facsimile of truthiness as it attempts to addict users to prefer using it over using their own minds and/or collaborating with others.

So, no.

Extremely well said. Thank you.

p.s. Sure, there are some very helpful algorithms out there for better medical imaging, editing photos, checking your code and writing, etc.

I don’t mean that stuff.

I mean things like ChatGPT, Claude, etc? Doesn’t it clearly do more harm than good for the world?

I’m curious: Can anyone give me an honest reason why generative AI is, net net, good for society?

I honestly can’t see a reason why it is.

Can someone give me a genuine case of why the benefits outweigh the tremendous harms?

I mean “is society better off as a whole”, not “this is a nice convenience for me”….

Ummm. Yeah, I don’t think a minor convenience outweighs all of the tremendous harm.

Many of the solutions with the biggest promise for curbing climate change also protect habitats.

These are just some of the solutions that do both:

🌳 Protect Forests
🚶 Improve Transportation
🌱 Improve Nutrient Management

On top of everything else, oil and gas prices are going to spike because of Trump’s war in Iran.

But guess what doesn’t get disrupted by wars?

Renewable energy. Solar. Wind. Geothermal. Storage.

The US Had a Big Battery Boom Last Year Despite Donald Trump’s unrelenting attacks on renewable energy, there’s a quiet revolution happening on US grids.

Big Battery Energy? Yes, America boomed in 2025. 🔋 Batteries are one of the 6 technologies outlined by Sr. Scientist Amanda Smith, PhD. that will make up the cleaner electric grid of the future.

I get the whole “Quit ChatGPT”, but honestly they are all bullshit generating, automated plagiarism machines.

They do more harm than good to society, without a doubt, and we would be better off walking away and focusing on enhancing, not replacing, human skills.

Nobody should using generative AI for anything that they really care about.
