Key point about the factors limiting the potential for AI to serve public needs as distinct from those of tech-bros from @andrewmaynard.net Full #sustainwhat show below.

In 2016 I thought the mental state of Trump supporters was more important than his own. Oops. I’ll be talking about this soon on #sustainwhat with @drdeanburnett.bsky.social :)

Dean, I'd love to get you on my #SustainWhat webcast to explore the various flavors of Trump derangement, examining in part what you wrote in the Guardian a decade ago in current light. (I was with you back then!_ revkin@substack.com ~ 1/

I just posted my (unfortunately) ever-relevant song "Liberated Carbon" on #SustainWhat with annotated lyrics. I wrote it in 2003 during the Iraq War. This line keeps reverberating: ♫ We sent an army to the desert to keep this country free - and to liberate some carbon, baby, for you and me..." ♬ 1/

Team Trump’s pursuit of the EPA greenhouse-gas endangerment finding holds perils akin to Ahab’s white whale fixation. – law prof Jonathan Adler. Check out the crew on the whale boat and watch my #sustainwhat webcast with @jadler1969.bsky.social @chemnick.bsky.social & EDF lawyer Sean Donahue. 1/2

LIVE, 3 pm ET on #sustainwhat: Join me with climate law maven Jonatha Adler and @eenews.bsky.social journalist @chemnick.bsky.social for a brisk analysis of the Trump assault on the EPA 2009 endangerment finding - the foundation of US regulatory approaches to climate policy 🧪⚖️

The anti-reg zealots have had quite a run. But whatever happens with endangerment will take years to unfold in the courts. In the meantime, as @gwagner.com stressed on #Sustainwhat today, heaps of actions (including TRUMP actions) align with expanded renewables. revkin.substack.com/p/gernot-wag...

Here's what the #melttheice hat knitting movement reminds me of.. How about you? I'll post your thoughts on #sustainwhat revkin.substack.com

A lot of what's seen as #AI - artificial intelligence - is actually "simulated intelligence." @mims.bsky.social explains the big difference on #sustainwhat: revkin.substack.com/p/why-ais-si... (with @melaniemitchell.bsky.social)

Recalling discussions of both #maladaptation and what I call #malmitigation. Both absolutely exist and are often intertwined. Great #sustainwhat conversation on this awhile back with @stacydvandeveer.bsky.social @geoffdabelko.bsky.social @kimsuiseeya.bsky.social youtube.com/watch?v=oGANa0FP_QY

In our #sustainwhat chat on making the most of #AI before it consumes us or, more likely, becomes a boring toolkit, I offered @mims.bsky.social and @melaniemitchell.bsky.social a case study: turning a rough guitar/vocal version of my song "Save Dreams for Sleeping" into a Suno production. Full show⤵️

3/ Greenland-focused researcher @paul-bierman.bsky.social put it this way on #sustainwhat: "Protecting Greenland’s ice is the most important piece of national security you could imagine. It’s not critical minerals..military strategy. It’s keeping that ice frozen." revkin.substack.com/p/meet-us-sc...

Amid the Worst Surge Toward Autocracy in a Century, Here's How U-Turns Toward Democracy Can Happen Democracy

Would happily host you and others in a #sustainwhat conversation on this. Builds on my @vdeminstitute.bsky.social discussion.

A fun (albeit depressing) moment from my climate journalism chat with former @latimes.com Boiling Point author @sammyroth.bsky.social about his Climate Colored Goggles project on Substack and the general state of things Full convo and links in the #sustainwhat post below. 1/

While we're talking about how to #saveNCAR, it's worth recalling the late great climate scientist Steve Schneider not only did cutting edge research there, but also had a part when Woody Allen filmed "Sleeper" there in 1973. Can you spot him? More on #SustainWhat: revkin.substack.com/i/181895042/...

Great #sustainwhat conversation with @prbdata.bsky.social president Jennifer Sciubba on the huge gulf between demographic data and discourse. And now data sources are drying up thanks to he who shall not be named.

Hoping Dr. Merner might be available Tuesday 2 December, between 11:15-11:45 US eastern time to join Kyoto playwrights and me in a live conversation on #sustainwhat. revkin at substack dot com to confer.

What’s not to love about a Substacker typing each day’s post on a typewriter? (Learned of Kent Peterson via @lloydalter.bsky.social in our #SustainWhat conversation with Rev. Billy Talen on the need to move from #blackfriday to #buynothingday. revkin.substack.com/p/a-buy-noth...

Had a lot of fun showing climate-fiction master Kim Stanley Robinson a scene from the climate play Kyoto that reverberates precisely with what Saudi Arabia was doing this week at #cop30 in Brazil. Watch the full #SustainWhat show below. 1/

Joe Romm on green hydrogen hype. Full #sustainwhat discussion: revkin.substack.com/p/joe-romm-a... #energy 🧪 #climatechange

Even the @cato.org agrees that mobility is a path to human flourishing. David Bier explored on #SustainWhat revkin.substack.com/p/a-libertar...

Cory Doctorow warns of the havoc the AI bubble implosion could wreak (his forthcoming book details why this will happen soon) - on my #sustainwhat show today. An FDR or a H*tl~r.

We are way overdue to explore your book with @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social on #SustainWhat so let’s set a date for that and we can explore some of this as well?

On my #sustainwhat show @joeromm.bsky.social also urged Democrats to grab spiking #electricity costs as an issue with renewable solutions and Trump and industry origins. #energysky revkin.substack.com/p/live-at-11...

Green hydrogen is a waste of money (@joeromm.bsky.social on #sustainwhat). Full show: revkin.substack.com/p/live-at-11...

Why green hydrogen doesn't add up (@joeromm.bsky.social on #sustainwhat with me) 2/

Just had a wide-ranging discussion with my old climate blogging antagonist @joeromm.bsky.social (now
@penncssm.bsky.social) and, boy, he had a message for "#cleanenergy" VC folks et al thinking of #GreenHydrogen as a climate fix... Here are some nuggets and link to the full #sustainwhat show... 1/
