200+ families just marched to @governor.ny.gov’s office to condemn her cowardly, shameful decision to sell out our kids futures to appease Donald Trump and approve the Williams pipeline. We aren’t backing down and we WILL hold her accountable.

CO2 emissions in China have decreased from a peak in March 2024 to June 2025. The reduction is due to the deployment of massive amounts of renewable capacity, particularly solar PV.

CO2 emissions in China have decreased from a peak in March 2024 to June 2025. The reduction is due to the deployment of massive amounts of renewable capacity, particularly solar PV.

There was a hint in 2024 that China's Carbon emissions had peaked due to their massive roll out of renewables, which continues. Now the data from the first half of 2025 confirms that CO2 emissions in China are decreasing. πŸ§ͺπŸ”ŒπŸ’‘β˜€οΈπŸ’¨πŸŒŠπŸ”‹

SendComment β€” Stop the Williams Pipeline

In New York (or NJ)?

Send a comment voicing your opposition to this gas pipeline.

Building new fossil fuel infrastructure is incompatible with a good future. Every project we stop is a win.

They know climate change is real. They know what causes it.

Destroying our ability to mitigate and minimize climate disaster is an intentional choice.

This administration is filled with climate criminals.

That AI will do something great does not make it likely. Nor does it give people doing terrible things to promote AI a get out of jail free card.

Right now? AI does not appear to be on track to solve climate change.

Mostly, people seem to want to use it to make slop.

It reminds me of when adults say things like, "Children are our future! Who knows who will grow up to do great things and solve [problem of the moment]."

Yes, sure, kids grow up and sometimes do great things. But that doesn't let current adults off the hook.

The theoretical possibility...

And it's presumably even more true for AI, which is expensive and seems to work well only when it's big.

That's not to say AI won't do anything to solve the big problems of our day. No one can see the future!

But there's no reason I'm aware of to expect this...

tech companies are highly incentivised to do whatever they can to get products to be used A LOT.

Selective, targeted use is a recipe for economic failure (from their perspective). This is true for any commercial software-ish product I can think of...
