In the unlikely event that AI systems become smart enough to ‘solve’ the climate crisis, their first and last instruction will be to power down all the AI data centres… 🫠 #AIEthics #ClimateEmergency

"His name is ‘Fossi’. He’s depicted as a swirl of grey smoke. And he’s liable to lose his temper whenever his classmates blame him for the climate crisis.

Fossi is the protagonist of Our Hidden Powers: The Big Switch, a children’s book launched last week by Swedish clean energy operator Baseload Capital"

Disgraceful.

Meet the Combustible Cartoon Character Who Wants to Make Kids Feel Sorry for Fossil Fuels

A new children’s book by a Chevron-backed clean energy venture paints a sympathetic portrait of coal, oil, and gas.

The Great Decoupling 2: Changes in Ocean Biochemistry Driven by Strengthening Stratification

As the ocean carbon sink flattens, new research reveals how the biochemical impacts of warming and stratification are fundamentally compromising the sea’s ability to sustain life and regulate climate.

The Great Decoupling 1: How Ocean Stratification is Boosting Global Warming

As ocean layers decouple, a record-breaking 2025 heat pulse prepares to collide with a 2026 El Niño, supercharging global weather and accelerating non-linear warming.

Bonus #BeckwithSuperforecast temperature rise:
2.0°C 2033
2.5°C 2041
3.0°C 2050
3.5°C 2058
4.0°C 2066;

(jupp, I agree. My undereducated guess for 2.0°C would be 2030 and 3.0°C in ~2045. But I would not be hugely surprised, if we reach those temps even earlier. El Nino is exploding.)
