Humanist Climate Action interview: Dr Helen Czerski on oceans, humanism, and the planet’s life support system Dr Helen Czerski is our patron, Professor of the Environment and Society at University College London, and a scientist who specialises in the physics of the oceans. At our Convention in Sheffield last...

"So much climate damage comes from assuming that Earth is simple, that it is easy to control and that it will bend to our will. Standing up against those simplifying assumptions is fundamentally a humanist thing to do."

From a recent interview I did... here's the rest:

By Tesla's own math, it reveals that its robotaxis are 4x worse at driving than humans, with redactions hiding even more details | Fortune By NHTSA standards, the Tesla Robotaxis are 8x worse than human drivers.

But we were assured* that robo cars were so much safer!!

One thing that definitely WON’T happen: a bunch of terrorists rush in to fill the void we created, then we end up battling them in this and other countries over the next couple decades.

Osama bin Laden definitely did NOT know this.
