⚠️ When “technology will save us” becomes a climate risk! A new paper from great colleagues takes a careful look at techno-optimism — the belief that technology will largely solve climate change — and what it means for real-world climate action. (1/4)👇 osf.io/preprints/ps...

The UN recently created two new bodies to address AI but from an arms race and global access standpoints. It’s imperative that the UN climate body not just acknowledge the potential benefits that AI can bring (eg grid balancing), but also the vast climate, water, and economic costs.

The #COP30 heat is on again on fossil fuels. In 2023, countries agreed to “transition away from fossil fuels,” but with no follow-up. Now all eyes are on creating a roadmap to operationalize those otherwise hollow words. In 1 week, 60+ countries have supported the idea of making a game plan.

#AI & #CCS, a new escape hatch for oil and gas companies - CCS advocates and #FossilFuel firms are using AI’s energy demands to justify new fossil-fueled plants, greenwashed by CCS. 531 CCS lobbyists at #COP30 confirms the industry is committed to promoting proven-to-fail CCS

"The influx of CCS lobbyists at COP30 shows how the AI industry is using the false promise of carbon capture as a lifeline for fossil fuels. AI is the love child of Big Tech and the fossil fuel industry." @ajeansu.bsky.social for @biologicaldiversity.org

AI is an elephant in the #COP30 room. While govts have touted AI as a climate solution, they have ignored its grave costs to our climate & planet. The global climate space must address how AI data centers are the new lifeline of the fossil fuel industry. See presser👇 unfccc.int/event/center...

And this is why COP should never, ever be held in authoritarian petrostates. The only reason to do so is to intentionally shrink the space for participation by global civil society.

The incomparable @ajeansu.bsky.social breaking down why data centers are the devastating love child of big tech and the fossil fuel industry and why COP30 must tackle the climate impacts of AI. Check out our latest report: biologicaldiversity.org/programs/cli...

#COP30 in Brazil is the first climate change conference in four years that hasn’t been held in an authoritarian petrostate. Ppl have been able to march peacefully on the public streets to demand an equitable end to fossil fuels. It’s incredibly moving, led by Amazonian indigenous ppls.
