We’re here to discuss the climate emergency: Solutions > Problems. Building > Politics. Systemic change > Lifestyle change. Emotional processing is welcome. No climate denial allowed.

Climate Robotics Network, apparently started early this year or a bit before. Still reading the white paper, but rather comprehensive and solid. Perhaps a bit too anthropocentric still. https://climaterobotics.network/

Host was like, "let's talk about whether AI is good or bad for climate" but of course Daniel first spends an hour untangling our brains and weaving them into baskets capable of containing his insights. Astonishingly good and terrifying and worth your time, as usual. https://warpcast.com/stephenreid.eth/0x9c0b4329

Climate change is making days longer and it impacts earth’s rotation more than the moon does. The significance of this, for me, isn’t the few milliseconds added to my day. It’s the cosmic power that we wield without even being aware of our own strength. https://warpcast.com/mishaderidder.eth/0x3135b2e1

What is the scariest up-to-date graph you've seen regarding the climate? I don't mean to raise fear, but this graph terrifies me (even if you'd normalize the y-axis to zero). Source: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/monthly-average-surface-temperatures-by-year?facet=none&uniformYAxis=0

some cool insights into how glaciologists are thinking about keeping glaciers from melting (...and some not so cool lol, 75-mi wide plastic curtain??) https://web.archive.org/web/20240612125409/https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2024/07/nasa-nisar-mission-glaciers-sea-ice-thwaites/678522/

Mongolia’s nomadic herders are facing a severe climate crisis. Dzud is a slow moving disaster- severe cold freezes the grass so livestock can’t feed and they freeze or starve to death. This has been the worst winter in 50 years https://www.huffpost.com/entry/mongolia-dzud-winter-climate_n_6602f041e4b0710eb5666d7f

AlphaGo applied to data centres was supposed to save up to 40% on the bill (there was a publication from Google; can’t find it yet). Now AI payloads and trying to catchup on Microsoft (who is not apologetic on AI being greedy) make Google spend more. Today it looks like pick one: “Current /ai ” or /climate . Of course there is the option of “next AI”, but timing is everything /gloom . https://amp-theguardian-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/amp.theguardian.com/technology/article/2024/jul/02/google-ai-emissions
