AI is not all GenAI and LLMs, I hope you know.

Yes, that’s the minimum :)

This is it. Active sequestration is at best a small part of the solution, at worst a dangerous tangent that will grab investments and energy that should go to reduction, restoration and preservation efforts.

But really, humans have to stop emitting as much CO2eq. That’s it. There is no magic sciencey solution.

For a starts, we need to shut down all coal mines and power factories, stop oil, reduce animal exploitation as much as possible, stop fast fashion and reduce AI to scientific uses.

Nothing here is new or controversial, it’s just a bit boring, difficult, and goes against massive entrenched interests. That’s the hard part.

But any approach that is banking on technological breakthroughs maybe helping us capture all the CO2 (and methane, and nitrous oxide, and…) is inane.

This is depressingly accurate.

The president of peace and all that.

We all agree this is just distraction and the arbitrary nonsense is really the point: “we make up what is true” is what they are trying to show.
