A monoculture plantation of 'native' ash, totally wiped out by dieback. There's a high probability something similar will happen to the 7% or so of Ireland covered in Sitka. And for nature, climate and people, that wouldn't even be a bad thing. We REALLY need to rethink national forestry policy.

This is so so nuts: the @earthshotprize.bsky.social is partnering up with NVIDIA. By my calcs: just 1 yr of NVIDIA's AI climate emissions undo Earthshot's total avoided emissions todate, several times over. No other company getting away with it quite like this one ketanjoshi.co/2026/09/16/n...

I think today is my proudest day at NVIDIA so far.

This morning, we announced together with The Earthshot Prize that NVIDIA will be joining that ambitious initiative as a Global Alliance Founding Partner.

NVIDIA has long been working to solve the world's biggest challenges through technology. Today's announcement demonstrates--although not for the first time--that we believe sustainability and climate are included in those challenges.

I've been saying for a while now that I believe AI is the best tool for sustainability the world has ever seen. How tragic would it be if we didn't apply that tool deliberately to benefit humanity through sustainability? It's available and powerful, and we want to get it into the hands of people who will use it for good.

That's the most exciting aspect of this partnership: NVIDIA will be directly supporting innovators and pioneers in The Earthshot Prize program with educational and computing resources, engineering support, and even donated DGX Spark supercomputers.

The Earthshot Prize is doing amazing work. I couldn't be prouder that NVIDIA will be helping that work scale with AI--and bringing the world closer to the sustainability solutions we may all soon be celebrating.

Today Trump’s Department of Homeland Security raided U.S. Congresswoman Rep. Ilhan Omar’s house in a gross abuse of power. This comes as DHS and DOJ have abused and weaponized their power to pursue Congresswoman Rep. LaMonica McIver for doing her job this last year.
