Never been a better time to read Careless People by former Meta senior executive Sarah Wynn-Williams, which — among many, many revelations — reveals that Facebook promoted the European far right in the mid-2010s as a gambit against post-Snowden privacy regulations.

How AI quietly rewrote Big Tech's climate promises
October 12, 2026 · Luís Cruz

In 2020, Microsoft promised to be carbon negative by 2030 and Google called 24/7 carbon-free energy “our biggest sustainability moonshot yet”. Six years and one AI boom later, the companies’ own data puts all four of the biggest cloud and AI providers roughly 60 to 80% above where they stood around the time they made those promises. The pledges were quietly reworked to fit. Goals became moonshots, baselines became year-over-year, “100% renewable” came to mean a yearly total rather than the power actually running the servers, and carbon-neutral claims were discontinued. Here is the scorecard, how the goalposts moved, and what to ask your AI vendors.“AI will help solve it”
Alongside the rising numbers runs a second narrative. Google and BCG wrote in 2023 that AI “has the potential to help mitigate 5-10% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2030”, a projection from a consultancy report, not a measurement.20 Microsoft called AI “an essential tool to accelerate progress toward sustainability”.21 Google’s 2026 report announcement estimates that nine of its products helped others reduce about 41 million tonnes, “roughly three times Google’s own emissions”.6

Maybe. But enabled or avoided emissions are counterfactual estimates with no agreed standard, and they cannot be subtracted from an emissions inventory. However large the estimate:

A tonne someone else might not have emitted is not a tonne you did not emit.

Contact tracing is underway but part of the reason why they believe he sought healthcare in Kenya is that the quality of care in the DRC is being compromised as exhausted workers navigate depleted supplies and lack of international support even as politics in the country heats up.

One of the first acts of the current US administration was leaving the World Health Organisation, the institution that coordinates multilateral public health responses. The dismantling of USAID has also compromised support for community health workers who are the frontline of disease responses.

The DRC and Kenya are also critical US allies in both the deportation racket that is underway, in critical mineral supply for the ongoing AI semiconductor boom, and in military cooperation. Basically these countries are getting away with lax oversight because they are Trump allies.

It’s worth pointing out that until 2016 the US ambassador to Kenya was always a career diplomat as the post was considered highly politically sensitive. Since 2016, there have been long stretches without an ambassador and a succession of political appointees with limited diplomatic knowledge.

The US does not currently have an ambassador to the DRC. The administration has stated its derision towards African countries. The “shithole countries” remark reflects the US governments current “Africa policy” it’s only interests being blocking China from accessing minerals, and warfare.
