Short Answer: Yes. Longer answer: lets call it the quadruple whammy. TL;DR: 1/4 #AI hogs natural resources (energy, water, rare earth minerals) and adds massively to GHG emissions. It is a #collapse trigger. 2/4 Subletting your brain to a computer model is bad. If you don’t use it, you lose it.

🌊🧪Methane-powered sea spiders lads. Living in permanent darkness, in a symbiotic relationship with metanotrophic bacteria - chemosynthesizers. How cool are these?

Developing critical thinking is incompatible with co-opting large language models ('AI') to 'assist' in all facets of teaching and learning. Critical thinking is essential to the path to a sustainable existence we need to thread. Join the dots👇💯

War as an instrument of distraction. War as a self-perpetuating machine. But maybe I am being too cynical. The experts in the media 👇 are speaking about 'a window of opportunity', 'very interesting that' etc etc....

Red herring alert, a prime example of the #DarkArts. Let's see what's wrong, lads. a) Trump administration did massively well for the planet during its first iteration ✅ b) Fails to list the first thing we should do to restore coral reefs: stop using fossil fuels ✅ Pure obfuscation. 🌊🧪

I am not sure we are actually realising what's happening across the pond and how this might affect our future. This is post 33 Germany. The Reich, but in American. Lots are sleeping, should wake up.

Happy World Ocean Day! The ocean is the heart of our life support system, without which we'd all be dead. It's taken up >90% of the heat from global warming and 25% of our CO₂ emissions. In return, we give it 11 million tonnes of plastic annually, which animals ingest and also become entangled in.

TCD @tcddublin.bsky.social has its good points. For all the flak it gets in #Ireland, I wonder how many other universities have the balls and the students that primed this to match.

Great article on how a German court has ruled that private companies can be held liable for their share in causing climate damages. It's the polluter pays principle, and as such should be a no-brainer. But the fossil fuel industry has so far thought to be exempt. theconversation.com/one-lawsuit-...

When everything is a transaction, have a 'life-changing' two pennies for your meat for the meat grinder. Talk about dystopian futures. It's dystopian presents I worry about.

This year we are seeing marine heatwaves swamping the North Atlantic. Again. It's going to be a scorching 🥵 summer, lads.

Out today in Nature, our paper on the drivers of the record 2023 summer heating of the North Atlantic. Temperatures warmed to record levels in just a few months. The impacts on climate & ecosystems were severe. A thread on how this work came about and what we found.👇👇🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Important for #Ireland. More evidence that the cooling 'blob' south of Greenland is caused by an #AMOC slowdown. The collapse of the #AMOC will impact on everything we do, from food production to housing, healthcare to logistics. This is the real existential crisis unfolding, lads. Let's address it.

'Ireland not prepared for extreme weather risks due to become 'catastrophic' '. @codohertynews.bsky.social highlights the problem gently. The reality is nobody is prepared, we are taking the piss and tinkering around the edges. The magnitude of what is unfolding should have us all in emergency mode.

Uh oh lads. 'No increase in emissions' or 'small increase in emissions' compared to a baseline of choice is not the same as reducing emissions. You can't get credit for increasing methane emissions by less than could be possible...

Collapse of the #WAIS is one of the #tipping points in the Earth system in imminent danger of being crossed. A very narrow window to act: accelerate the energy transition, keep fossil fuels in the ground. Aim for circularity. Prepare the youngest for a different world.
