"Each sheet of A4 paper takes 10 liters of water to make". lol, no. That would mean the global paper industry uses 3x more water than the entire United States economy! We need to get these things right, or the public will rightly dismiss our environmental concerns as unhinged.

Wondering whether AI will be good or back for climate change? Or how robots are a cornerstone for solving our environmental problems? Here you go: www.amazon.com/Brighter-Opt...

With #climate there is massive over-attribution of causal power to US politics and policy. Biden, Trump, Democrat, Republican, Liberal, Conservative - doesn't matter. The differences in outcomes are rounding errors. #Technology, not policy, solves climate change. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DX9N...

Relax. Everything will be fine. Two things matter more than anything else: 1) avoid violent conflict, 2) make technological progress. That’s the cake. The rest is icing. Don’t lose sight of what’s most important.

Crazy to see so many folks in a lather about AI and energy use. It’s pure nothingburger. Energy use will rise and virtually ALL of it will come from solar+wind+batteries. Everything else - gas, nuclear, hydrogen - will be a rounding error. Meanwhile, emissions will plummet. Stop panicking.

Some days it's just too exhausting to deal with the sheer wrongness of the Doomer and Degrowther narratives around climate change and sustainability. If you're tired of all the fact-free pessimism and are hungry for some data-driven optimism for the holidays: www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeQT...

Ever wonder what Elon Musk's real plan with Neuralink is? It's worth a LOT more than $440 billion. And it's not what either his fans or his haters think. Answer is in here: www.amazon.com/More-than-St...

Just a reminder that the conventional climate narrative is dead wrong because it fails to understand technology. We have no technology theory in our environmental science curricula (eg UM SEAS and @uclaioes.bsky.social), so we're easy targets for misinformation: youtu.be/Qfh83yqKkBc?...

Band-aids treat symptoms. Real solutions treat the root cause. Feeding seaweed to cows and cars are Band-aids. The REAL solutions are precision fermentation and cellular agriculture to disrupt cows, and EVs to disrupt ICE vehicles. www.theguardian.com/environment/... www.bbc.com/news/article...

I see a lot of people hating on #AI #art here on Bluesky. I tried hiring artists for cover art for "More than the Sun and Stars", and didn't get acceptable results - although my budget was admittedly small. Then I created this cover myself with AI, and it's absolutely gorgeous.

"More than the Sun and Stars" comes out next Sunday! Check it out if you're interested in #AI, superintelligence, #neuralink, or the Fermi paradox!

If the weak sauce of #COP29 has you depressed, here's some food for thought that gives data-driven reasons to be optimistic: www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXH5...

Some things are too important to be politicized. Climate change. Technology. And efficiency and accountability of government. We should not support or oppose climate action, or clean tech, or DOGE based on tribalism. EVERYONE should support these because they are good for America and the world.

Not surprising, but still discouraging to see #COP29 and #climate thinking still stuck in the mud and clueless about the real nature of the problem and the central role that technology will play in solving it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DX9N...
