Both Sam Altman (OpenAI) and Dario Amodei (Anthropic) have made some version of the argument that AI will give us the power to "fix the climate". I find this a deeply problematic position, as the challenges of mitigation are as much political as technological.

💻 Will AI save the planet? Or will we run out of energy before it can transform our lives into an age of abundance? ⌨️ The answer? Listen to #TheInquiry @bbcworldservice with @VanRijmenam @katecrawford Sam Young from @EnergySysCat and @MutisoRose bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w3ct5x…

My book is published today in the US 🇺🇸 Published in the UK (& elsewhere) on 11th. It looks at 7 of our big environmental problems & how to solve them. These problems are massive. Urgent. But solvable. It's a critical decade for us to take action. nottheendoftheworld.co.uk/

Calls for more climate finance are important, but if current practice is any guide, a large share of the funds will be taken from budgets that fund critical development priorities, @vijramachandran and @alexjmssmith write. foreignpolicy.com/2023/12/01…

And we wonder why official policy posture regarding Africa's energy needs is often ridiculous. Wild stuff.

South Africa has released the terms of two €300 million climate loans from France and Germany. Both 20 years & 5 year grace period. The French loan is 3.6%, the German 3%. In comparison, South Africa's 2044 $ Eurobond is currently yielding 8.6% reuters.com/business/cop/sou…

Have we reached peak CO2 emissions yet? @TedNordhaus is betting 'yes'. I am betting 'no', betting that we will see higher emissions within the next decade. $2000 is on the line. I hope Ted wins. longbets.org/848/ @longnow #climate #carbon #energy carbonbrief.org/global-carbo…

My take: @KatieAuth and @MutisoRose have the right approach BUT @toddjmoss and @vijramachandran approach probably gets you 80% of the way there and avoids 90% of bureaucratic complication So…. Tie? 😅

We love healthy debate @energyforgrowth, so here's @KatieAuth & @MutisoRose VS @vijramachandran & me on gas financing for the poor. The issue is 🔥🔥🔥, but we think calm pragmatic solutions are best. medium.com/energy-for-growth…

It is pertinent to understand how committed pledges can be made a reality in the coming decades. In my recent memo for @energyforgrowth, I examined Nigeria's energy transition plan and what's needed to make it a credible vision. #COP27 #climateaction #climatechange #sdg7
