New publication: In a commentary in Nature Climate Change, we discuss how the IPCC can change to remain relevant. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41558-023-01780-8
Three institutional pathways to envision the future of the IPCC - Nature Climate Change

The IPCC has been successful at building its scientific authority, but it will require institutional reform for staying relevant to new and changing political contexts. Exploring a range of alternative future pathways for the IPCC can help guide crucial decisions about redefining its purpose.

Hva er logikken bak å bruke fonybar kraft til å drive utvinning av fossil energi? Jeg snakker om olje, klimapolitikk og elektrifisering i podkasten til Dag og Tid denne uka: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4j4NdbR2GNIDW8C5CwZsG2?si=tHTp9fvYQPOStInnu4DqdQ&nd=1
Melkøya og elektrifisering som klimatiltak

Listen to this episode from DAG OG TID podkast on Spotify. Regjeringa har bestemt at Equinor-anlegget Hammerfest LNG skal elektrifiserast frå land. Det vil kutte 850.000 tonn i årlege CO2-utslepp frå gassturbinane på øya. Kva ligg bak denne avgjerda og er det eit godt klimatiltak? Bård Lahn er gjest. Han har forska på norsk og internasjonal klimapolitikk, ressursforvaltning og oljepolitikk. Kva meiner han om elektrifisering som klimatiltak? Og kjem me til å nå klimamåla for 2030?

AI Is a Lot of Work

How many humans does it take to make tech seem human? Millions to support OpenAI, Google, Meta, and every other major tech company. As AI becomes ubiquitous, a vast tasker underclass is emerging — and not going anywhere.
