The end of accountability: How autonomous AI could supercharge climate disinformation
While conspiracies rely on falsehoods, lies or manipulative uses of emotion, they share a key feature: they are traceable to people and institutions.
What Min β¦βͺSolomonβ¬β© has failed to account for and regulate against.
AI will be weaponized against experts across all facets of society and life.
Min Solomonβs open-door, evangelist policy approach is already haunting us.

Canadian LNG out of step with Europe's clean energy shift: EU official
Senior Brussels diplomat BelΓ©n Martinez Carbonell says renewables and nuclear power win out over fossil fuels to help meet EU economic and emissions reduction goals.
Min Hodgson & PM Carney are taking a big gamble in tying up limited Cdn funding resources to economic segments w/ fewer and fewer customers.
EU doesnβt want our fossil fuels & our food production regs are lax compared to theirs.

Fossil fuels will be collateral damage in Trumpβs war on Iran
Canada's oil and gas industry and the politicians in its thrall will use the US attack on Iran as a justification for more pipelines. In reality, it will actually erode the economic case for them.

Joint declaration of President Macron and Chancellor Merz.
In the spirit of their close partnership as set out in Article 4 of the Treaty of Aachen, France and Germany have decided to enter into closer cooperation in the field of deterrence in response to the evolving threat landscape.
France and Germany have established a high-ranking nuclear steering group that will act as a bilateral framework for doctrinal dialogue and the coordination of strategic cooperation, including consultations regarding the appropriate mix of conventional, missile defence and French nuclear capabilities. France and Germany have agreed to take first concrete steps beginning this year, including German conventional participation in French nuclear exercises and joint visits to strategic sites as well as development of conventional capabilities with European partners. France and Germany will also increase their ability, as Europeans, to manage escalation beneath the nuclear threshold - in particular in the fields of Early Warning and Air Defense and Deep Precision Strike.
This Franco-German cooperation is based on the shared understanding that the nuclear dimension of deterrence remains a cornerstone of European security, relying on US extended deterrence, including US nuclear weapons forward-deployed to Europe, and on the independent strategic nuclear forces of France and the United Kingdom, which have a deterrent role of their own and contribute significantly to the overall security of the Alliance. This Franco-German cooperation will add to, not substitute for, NATO's nuclear deterrence and NATO's nuclear sharing arrangements, to which Germany contributes and will continue to contribute. France and Germany will continue to comply with their obligations under international law including the Treaty on the NonProliferation of Nuclear Weapons.
In light of their strong commitment to Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty and Art. 42 (7) of the Treaty on European Union, Franco-German cooperatioβ¦
