Scotland to ditch key climate change target

This is how worthless promises and talking about something (without action) is.

Scotland to ditch key climate change target

If those numbers seem impossible to comprehend, then let Bloomberg break it down for you, planetary warming will result in an income reduction of 19% globally by mid-century, compared to a global economy without .

The stories I read of those unable to get insurance and those with high insurance costs probably explain why they're making the best money for a long time in a impacted world

I have long maintained and argued in here in the past (with much push back from the orthodoxy) Insurance in the capitalist model is a ponzi scheme. They're already underwritten by the Federal Government in northern Ausralia where flood insurance was going to be impossible to get, so we'll see as the decades roll on. They need to make more profit again :) someone has to pay for that and more building on flood plains mean it will get worse going forward.

Sustainable Computing for a Sustainable Planet

The authors say there is an increase in energy consumption for training large language models but not on their deployment. At the same time, advances in accelerated computing have moderated the overall growth in energy consumption relative to computational performance. The adoption of AI is shown to bring energy efficiency benefits to the economy.

Speculation 'cloud seeding' caused Dubai record rainfall and floods shot down by experts

Speculation swirled on social media that the weather technology was to blame for the largest ever rainfall Dubai has seen. But experts say the record rains were on a totally different scale to what seeding would produce.

In the UK at least, there is a wide variety of non-meat & non-dairy choices. To my taste, oat milk for example, tastes far better than cow milk in coffee (preferences vary).For me, all the "fuss" about eating meat in the , is simply a load of people with harmful & unsustainable eating habits.

Climate change caused by human excesses is going to screw up life on the whole planet.

If you were to ask me to name one place on Earth leading the way with these excesses I would probably say Dubai.

Or Mar-A-Lago.

Mar-A-Lago next, please.
