A message from the activist group Everyone Hates Elon: “If you have a trillion dollars in a world where children are starving, you're not a visionary, you're just a cunt”
I think we're at the point, where if (in total) we built three fewer ai data centres and instead put that money into world hunger, we could make sure that no one would ever have to starve again.
I haven't done the numbers, but it's got to be close

It's time anyway. You'd know when cold water smells like burnt copper.
Good idea: climate action to increase crop yields
https://airqualitynews.com/headlines/cleaner-air-from-climate-action-could-ease-hunger-risks/
Previous research has suggested that some climate mitigation measures – such as carbon pricing, expanding crops used for bioenergy and planting forests in new areas – might raise food prices and reduce the number of calories available worldwide. That could leave millions more people at risk of hunger.
However, those studies missed an important side effect: policies that cut greenhouse gases also reduce air pollutants that create ground-level ozone, including methane and nitrogen oxides.
Ground-level ozone is harmful to crops. It damages plants and reduces yields of key staple foods such as wheat, rice and maize. By lowering ozone pollution, climate policies can improve crop productivity and partly offset the economic pressures those policies place on food systems.

The fight against climate change could unintentionally make global hunger worse. But a new international study suggests that cleaner air – resulting from the same climate policies – could offset part of that harm. Previous research has suggested that some climate mitigation measures – such as…
Iran War Threatens Global Food System — and Some Already Feel the Impact
The same countries that stand to face the most harm already struggle with food security after Trump dissolved USAID.
