In the midst of a national climate crisis, Carney’s government falls silent
The words 'climate change' have barely passed Carney’s lips, nor did they feature in communiqués from June's G7 summit in Alberta. It has been left to premiers, mayors, & Indigenous leaders to hold press conferences, comfort evacuees, & highlight the frightening reality of more intense, more widespread, more merciless fires

If you are feeling this way, take comfort in knowing that experts agree social change often comes from individual activism, which sets an example for others to observe, consider and possibly follow.
Collective action, another key mechanism of change-making, can also address the anxiety we feel, while producing impressive results in a way that individuals cannot

Artificial intelligence finds previously undetected historical climate extremes
There are over 30,000 weather stations in the world, measuring temperature, precipitation and other indicators often on a daily basis. That's a massive amount of data for climate researchers to compile and analyze to produce the monthly and annual global and regional temperatures (especially) that make the news

In the US, there is already evidence that the life of coal-fired power plants is being prolonged to meet the rising energy demands of AI
However, nuclear power should not be seen as the future of energy; it has its place, but only as part of a balanced energy economy alongside green energy sources. The drive to power AI must not ignore the investment, development and improvement of green energy technology. And this is what we fear Big Tech is overlooking
