Meanwhile, despite the modest returns, the HAI report warns that the amount of compute used to train top-notch AI models is doubling approximately every 5 months, the size of datasets required for LLM training is doubling every eight months, and the energy consumed for training is doubling annually.

But not all the prompts steer people towards pro-environmental activities for worry, users are asked: What level of worry is constructive When am I slipping into excessive rumination and for loss: How could I pay respect to my feelings of loss We cant just act all the time, says Pihkala, or well burn out, as unfortunately has happened to many environmental activists. We have to take care of ourselves.

Earth is headed toward several catastrophic climate 'tipping points,' study warns

The climate keeps changing, despite the Trump administration's attempt to silence the entire phenomenon.

A new study out April 23 reports that the world is on course to trigger several climate "tipping points" if policies stay on their current course

The overwhelming majority of people in the world between 80% and 89%, according to a growing number of peer-reviewed scientific studies want their governments to take stronger climate action.

But at least for now, this global climate majority is a silent majority.

The current mismatch between public will and government action amounts to a deficit in democracy.

Americans Will Be Less Safe: An Author of the Countrys Biggest Climate Report Reflects on Its Gutting

The climate assessment is required by law and it appears that the Trump administration is trying to break that law.

Is Earth Day's legacy at risk Heather Cox Richardson reflects on its origins, rooted in Rachel Carsons **Silent Spring**, which challenged pesticide use and sparked public advocacy. Major environmental events led to over 20 million Americans rallying for reform in 1970. Today, however, Richardson critiques the Trump administration's focus on resource extraction over conservation, risking hard-earned environmental protections. Explore these contrasts and their implications. Read more here().

The survival of that data is now in doubt, as a result of the 's comprehensive assault on the federal bureaucracy.

56% of the global population live in cities.

Cities, therefore, are powering a formidable climate movement and policy that is having a real impact.

Electing leaders committed to climate action ensures cities adopt strategies that drive meaningful environmental change.

By fostering a more vibrant, risk-tolerant, and globally-oriented innovation ecosystem through targeted policy interventions, increased investment, and a greater embrace of transformative change, Europe can unlock its immense potential to become a true leader in green technology and drive the global transition towards a climate-neutral world.

Multiple climate tipping points are likely to be triggered if global policies stay on their current course.

The risk is multiplied by the decline of the Amazon rainforest and the thawing of permafrost.

Predictably, lower greenhouse gas emissions can significantly reduce this risk.

Climate change is a danger to health in a wide variety of ways.

Asphalt can absorb 95 percent of solar radiation and cause dangerous burns.

Young children, older adults, unhoused persons, and persons with substance use disorder are particularly at risk.

thats how project managers the world over deal with risk. Identify it, work out the likelihood and determine the impact, then what can be done to mitigate the risk. With climate change the likelihood is close to certain and the impact is catastrophic and mitigation is pretty clear but is politically unattractive. If a project had unmitigated risks like that, it would not go ahead.

Antarctica-vakanties hebben ook een grote impact op het milieu.

It identifies the possible beliefs behind it and offers an alternate vision for the rest of us to unite around. Worth reading. Worth reposting.
