This seems so obvious .... except to the people who think their salaries and future career opportunities depend on them not seeing the obvious. Who will get to make billions on an ongoing basis if everyone switches to cheap renewable energy?

Here is an example of how AI cannot be used to determine cause and effect. Suppose you want to know the impact of CO2 on climate. With a physics model, you run two simulations, one with the current atmosphere and a second with the current atmosphere but without CO2.

How Texas Hides The Destruction of Big Bend From The Public
The state's drone restrictions aren't about privacy. They're an intentional information blockade designed to hide environmental devastation and contractor waste behind an insurmountable paywall. Right now, bulldozers from a massive government contractor are ripping through the dirt of Big Bend National Park. They're tearing up ancient desert soil and gouging roads through fragile Chihuahuan Desert habitat for a $1.7 billion border barrier of some kind.

Dwindling reservoirs aren't the result of "bad weather" or "natural cycles". They're a choice our society made. Growing thirsty crops like alfalfa and pecans in the desert is a choice. Refusing to reduce CO2 emissions is a choice. Refusing to change the water laws as reality changes is a choice.

More accurate estimates found that Trump’s war on Iran has cost $50B. That money would fund a year of the ACA subsidies that he and the GOP have refused to extend — with $20B left over. Instead, millions of Americans have dropped their insurance because they can’t afford it. Priorities.
