Which option do we choose - act or delay?

These are the 'warning' stripes highlighting global choices. Do we act rapidly and keep global temperatures below 2°C, or delay and end up in a 3°C world (or worse)?

The hunger strikes have been hospitalised. The UK government continues to even deny their existence.

A reminder that these people protested Elbit system, whose drones killed 3 British aid workers in Gaza.

The hidden cost of Black Friday deals.

Trump's economy is being held up by a massive AI bubble.

A recent study found that of 300 companies that owned generative AI tools, 95% reported zero return on their investments.

We will not entertain a bailout of these companies should this bubble pop.

Parents for Future are Finalist in the 2025 Big Syn International Film Festival– the world’s biggest sustainability film festival.
 
The short film combines humour and creative storytelling to reach people on a human level, and vitally broaden and built support for bold climate action.

Everything we've made will break, buildings and streets will crumble, and cities will be abandoned. But the CO₂ we emit into the atmosphere will persist for centuries, and the climatic impacts will last longer than human civilization has existed. This is our legacy for the future.

Tracing sources of funds used to lobby the US government about carbon capture, use, and storage Analysis of U.S. federal lobbying disclosures from 2005 through 2024 identifies the fossil fuel sector as the primary force behind a multipronged $954…

New peer-reviewed paper documents massive lobbying by big oil & gas over 20 yrs to promote carbon, capture & storage, spending almost $1 Billion. CCS is a scam.

Palestinians, many of whom have been displaced multiple times, have nowhere safe to go.

These illegal plans must be stopped before they cause further suffering for Palestinians and the families of the hostages.

Condemnation is not enough.

The real surprise came after the experiment. Fred Lambert, who writes for the blog Electrek, pointed out the same autopilot disengagement that the NHTSA had documented. “Autopilot appears to automatically disengage a fraction of a second before the impact as the crash becomes inevitable,” Lambert noted.

In a horrifying article about the dangers of Teslas, one point stands out: Teslas automatically disengage self-driving mode <1 second before an imminent crash--not enough time for the driver to react, but enough for Tesla to deny responsibility for fatal crashes, since self-driving "wasn't engaged."

I don't think this is getting enough coverage

Norwegian oil giant Equinor cuts green investment in half Equinor will slash investment in renewable energy while ramping up oil and gas production.

We all know fossil fuel companies are beyond shameless, but it takes a special kind of sociopathy to announce $9.1 billion in profits, and a 50% cut to renewable energy investments ON THE SAME DAY.

Great work as always, #Equinor 🤮

I am just….I don’t think people realize that when climate experts warned/warn/continue to beg and warn of conditions incompatible with human life that they meant it.

AI has an environmental problem. Here’s what the world can do about that. The sprawling data centres that house AI servers churn out toxic electronic waste and are voracious consumers of electricity, which in most places is still produced from fossil fuels.

"A request made through ChatGPT, an AI-based virtual assistant, consumes 10 times the electricity of a Google Search"

This isn't a game. This is accelerated destruction via huge usage of power, water, resources etc. Stop using it - especially for messing about!!

Sorry to confirm via correspondence with a T&F exec that journal papers are being provided to Microsoft and another undisclosed AI company for model training too. Your academic work is now their financially valuable asset.

"Efforts to diversify gender norms face profound technical challenges. For instance, when OpenAI tried to remove violent and sexual images from training data for DALL- E 2, the company found that the tool produced fewer images of women because a large portion of women in the data set came from pornography and images of graphic violence. To fix the issue in DALL-E 3, OpenAI retained more sexual and violent imagery to make its tool less predisposed to generating images of men."

This Washington Post report haunts me every day
