So let's recap: - @amzn4climate.bsky.social reports show Amazon's emissions have *increased* despite its climate pledge - The company doesn't know how to reach net-zero emissions - Execs apparently think we're stupid enough to believe they care about the climate www.axios.com/2026/09/23/n...

This puts the lie to everything they say about AI being "the future". There is no future if they continue down this path.

Hey @ericlipton.nytimes.com 👋 AI is not “evolving” on its own. *People* are choosing how to build it. *People* are choosing how to train it. *People* are choosing how to run it. Maybe the problem is that they are the *wrong people* to make these choices.

“So you kind of just end up in the same situation, where not enough renewable energy is getting built, and coal plants have their lives extended." (And that's when there IS a substantial amount of new renewables being built for data centers, which is not true here in the US.)

The environmental damage is well documented at this point. I think the status of data centers as focal points of economic damage merits a little more expansion: www.wired.com/story/the-ai...

Screencap of linked article:

Beyond online outcry, more people are starting to protest against the building of data centers that power these AI tools. “There's a lot of pushback coalescing around data centers," says Emily Bender, coauthor of The AI Con. "Data centers are important because they are focal points of environmental and economic damage.” Americans across the political spectrum have recently united in these data center protests.

Once upon a time, there was a Climate Pledge. "Data center developers have announced nearly 60 behind-the-meter gas power projects since the beginning of 2025 with a combined capacity of 90 GW."

Amazon has already spent over $18 million on lobbying in 2026 - one of the MANY ways the company operates in the shadows to mask its irresponsible climate record. Perhaps worst of all: Amazon heavily lobbies the 3rd party organizations that set the standards for carbon emissions reporting. 🧵

This is not an outrageous ask. Across the country, people are rightly revolting against the way data centers are being rolled out—with secrets & lies about resource use, & empty promises about what it will do for them. It doesn't have to be this way—and tech workers have an important role to play.

Amazon leadership’s response to a massive 16% increase in emissions is that they will ‘stay stubborn,’ but ‘flexible on the details.’ We would call annual emissions rising 58% since the Climate Pledge 'flexible on the definition of success’. www.geekwire.com/2026/the-cos...

Amazon told 3 employees they were being investigated for testifying before the Seattle City Council about data center harms. It claims, absurdly, they were misrepresenting themselves as spokespeople for the company. Amazon Employees for Climate Justice says it's illegal retaliation for free speech.

Remember these brave folks? After stating that they respect their coworkers’ right to express their opinions, Amazon made them report to meetings at which they were told they were being "investigated". Imagine if GM were to harass employees who suggested that seat belts would be a good idea.
