Paul Ehrlich's legacy is one of unequivocal disgrace - intellectually, scientifically, and morally. His doomsaying was catastrophically wrong, and refused to ever admit it. His bankrupt ideas benighted environmentalism for 60 years. Enough is enough. It's time for brighter ideas.

Most of my colleagues in the academy and especially the environmental disciplines still have no clue that we're well along our march up the foothills of the Singularity. If you thought this was all science fiction still decades or centuries away, it's time to wake up.

I'm seeing a resurgence in climate change fear-mongering this week, centered on scenarios out to 2100 (!)🤣 🤦‍♂️ Climate change is real and a major challenge, but conventional @ipcc.bsky.social scenarios are technologically illiterate garbage. Here's why: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qfh8...

Stop panicking. Can you even tell from global emissions data which US administration was in power over the last 75 years?The world will continue building and buying enormous amounts of solar and EVs, regardless of what happens in Washington. Technology and markets solve climate change, not policy.

For 15 years, my friends and colleagues across the environmental disciplines said AI and robots were "just science fiction" that would take "decades, if ever" to arrive. Funny I don't hear that anymore. How does that crow taste? 🤣

"Each sheet of A4 paper takes 10 liters of water to make". lol, no. That would mean the global paper industry uses 3x more water than the entire United States economy! We need to get these things right, or the public will rightly dismiss our environmental concerns as unhinged.

With #climate there is massive over-attribution of causal power to US politics and policy. Biden, Trump, Democrat, Republican, Liberal, Conservative - doesn't matter. The differences in outcomes are rounding errors. #Technology, not policy, solves climate change. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DX9N...

Relax. Everything will be fine. Two things matter more than anything else: 1) avoid violent conflict, 2) make technological progress. That’s the cake. The rest is icing. Don’t lose sight of what’s most important.

Adam Dorr @adamdorr.bsky.social · 14/01/2025

Crazy to see so many folks in a lather about AI and energy use. It’s pure nothingburger. Energy use will rise and virtually ALL of it will come from solar+wind+batteries. Everything else - gas, nuclear, hydrogen - will be a rounding error. Meanwhile, emissions will plummet. Stop panicking.

Just a reminder that the conventional climate narrative is dead wrong because it fails to understand technology. We have no technology theory in our environmental science curricula (eg UM SEAS and @uclaioes.bsky.social), so we're easy targets for misinformation: youtu.be/Qfh83yqKkBc?...

Band-aids treat symptoms. Real solutions treat the root cause. Feeding seaweed to cows and cars are Band-aids. The REAL solutions are precision fermentation and cellular agriculture to disrupt cows, and EVs to disrupt ICE vehicles. www.theguardian.com/environment/... www.bbc.com/news/article...

I see a lot of people hating on #AI #art here on Bluesky. I tried hiring artists for cover art for "More than the Sun and Stars", and didn't get acceptable results - although my budget was admittedly small. Then I created this cover myself with AI, and it's absolutely gorgeous.

Some things are too important to be politicized. Climate change. Technology. And efficiency and accountability of government. We should not support or oppose climate action, or clean tech, or DOGE based on tribalism. EVERYONE should support these because they are good for America and the world.

Not surprising, but still discouraging to see #COP29 and #climate thinking still stuck in the mud and clueless about the real nature of the problem and the central role that technology will play in solving it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DX9N...
