“The world is now anticipated to heat up by 2.6C above preindustrial times by the end of the century – the same temperature rise forecast last year.

‘That all means the end of agriculture in the UK and across Europe, drought and monsoon failure in Asia and Africa, lethal heat and humidity’”

I guess we should build more data centres.

@aral but think of all the shareholder value! that makes it all worth it!
@lashman Right?
@aral @lashman Ofcourse we need more datacenters: We needs those so we can create a generic-AI-Super-intelligence that is so wise that it will tell us to fix climatechange by stop burning fossil fuels.

@aral I can understand the main culprits, the billionaires. Most of them are old and dead in 20 years anyway. They want to live their remaining life to the fullest, have the means to do so, and won't suffer any of the consequences. The younger billionaires hope to escape consequences by building bunkers.

Who I struggle to understand are the regular people, the non-billionaires and non-millionaires … that is, the "working for a salary" people … the "moderates" and centrists … whether they have a university degree or not (not to be confused with being educated). Even a PhD, it makes no difference.

They fail to recognize the most obvious connections; call you a radical or ignore you when you explain and point out those connections; roll over when the billionaires tell them to; and enjoy licking boots.

And whereas there are maybe 3000 billionaires in the entire world, and I don't know any one of them personally, there are billions and billions of such regular people in the world.

Most people prefer following orders over thinking for themselves.

And there are enough of them in my life to frustrate me.

And with them delegating their thinking to chatbots, it's only going to become even more frustrating.

@aral come on Aral you know that the data centres will help us find how to capture all that carbon! /s

@aral

Wasn't there a cereal called bits and bytes, we could eat that I guess.

@aral I said it before: mankind will die because of ignorance and greed.
@aral
For those of you can read it. Darn, I liked the Guardian...

@aral 'end of the century'

Nope. We're gonna see +2.5°C around 2050.

@aral @leyrer wenn daten das öl des 21ten jahrhunderts sind, ist blockchain dann das getreide?
