Career staff at the CFTC were investigating suspiciously timed trades surrounding Trump’s announcement that the U.S. would not bomb Iranian power plants. Then a senior adviser to Trump’s CFTC commissioner told them to back off. Could this administration get any more corrupt?

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.
