🌊Hello network! Would love to dive in (no pun intended) to the topic of the Kelvin wave, and the temporary elevated sea levels we're going to see in California, for the purpose of potential upcoming coverage/stories! Feel free to volunteer or suggest peers 🌊! #womeninSTEM

They've convinced everyone their products' benefits (wildly overstated but govts stuck in contracts they signed due to FOMO) mean they should be given huge leeway. Plus years of anthropomorphising the models, helped by credulous media, allows to them to act as if it's not actually their fault.

Once you understand the corporate culture of AI hyperscalers is everyone cooking their brains by locking themselves in the bathroom, holding flashlights under their chins, and saying "Aaaaaaaaaay Eyeeeeeee" until they wet themselves in terror, things snap into focus: pluralistic.net/2023/06/04/a...
A cutaway view of a stone tower containing an elaborate water-powered medieval geared machine. Rising out of the machine is a rainbow-tinted, pixelated God with the robes, beard and all. To one side of this scene is a cluster of tiny people in Jesus-era robes, falling about themselves in religious ecstasy all over a stone staircase, atop of which stands a robed priest with his hands upraised. The background is a set of shining golden rays, emanating from pixel-God.

Writing last week for @opendemocracy.net about the @unep.org report on overshoot. Our focus always has to be on cutting emissions. There's no way to get around that. www.opendemocracy.net/tech-bros-wi...

Tech bros will tell you that geoengineering will save us, it won’t
As the latest UNEP reports we will blow past 1.5°C, we must prioritise solutions that work, rather than focusing on complex, unproven technologies

Drilling for more oil & gas in the North Sea won't lower bills, it won't make us more energy independent and it won't insulate us from price shocks. A Labour backslide on this would be a huge betrayal. Double down on renewables. Insulate every home. Lower bills, permanently.
