Reports from Gaza confirm that people are now literally dying of starvation.
Western leaders have issued words of condemnation, but words are not enough. They have the power to stop this genocide now.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
As @caseynewton.bsky.social himself points out:

When you are out of touch with the facts and the scientists and beloved by the Tories and Reform on energy policy, you should probably take a crash course on developments in the last decades.
Or the explantion is simpler.

Air pollution graphics for central Paris between 2007 and 2023.
Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years as a result of a deliberate strategy. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people.
Good trade.
So far, the Trump administration has provided only weak evidence that any of the men condemned to a foreign prison notorious for human-rights violations was guilty of anything. The administration’s defense of its actions, according to the declaration made by an ICE official, Robert Cerna, is that “the lack of specific information about each individual actually highlights the risk they pose. It demonstrates that they are terrorists with regard to whom we lack a complete profile.” In other words, the lack of evidence against these men is just further proof that they’re guilty.
I keep coming back to the insanity of this statement from an ICE official, which would sound like something out of 1984 except lacks Orwell's sense of irony and self-awareness www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

If they're criminalizing people who are against this, they will absolutely criminalize people who are against the destruction of our planet. See y'all in El Salvador.

How can we steer AI towards positive impact for people and planet?
At our launch event we spoke to @somyajoshi.bsky.social, Head of Division – Global Agendas, Climate and Systems at @sei.org, who shared her thoughts on global governance and community action.
#ResponsibleAI
.@somyajoshi.bsky.social heads our AI Task Force, ensuring transparency and equity remain central to emerging tech governance. #FrugalAI
She joins global voices to challenge the silver bullet narrative and push for responsible AI.
📽️ Watch her clip in the @bennettinstitute.bsky.social repost:
Fossil-fuel companies with the greatest emissions in 2023: State Owned: Saudi Aramco Coal India CHN Energy Jinneng Group National Iranian Coal Investor Owned: Exxon Mobil Chevron Shell Total BP
Look carefully: these are the companies that we must force governments to dismantle if our kids are going to have a mostly habitable planet.
Newer AI models appear more likely to indulge in rule-bending behaviors than previous generations—and there’s no way to stop them.
The purported bedrock commitment to free speech in the new administration increasingly appears to apply to “me and not thee”…
For speech to be free it must equally apply to those you disagree with.

A blue pamphlet for an event "Tackling the climate crisis through innovation & policy" held up against a blue stage backdrop.
Loved talking #AIgovernance and its parallels to climate governance at the @bennett-innovate.bsky.social Institute for Innovation and Policy Acceleration launch yesterday. Hearing so many smart people speak about their work made me (slightly) more optimistic about our future 🌍

Alaska’s glaciers are shrinking fastest, and Central Europe has lost 39% of its ice.
Glaciers have lost 7 trillion tons of ice since 2000, adding 2 cm to sea levels, @borenbears reports Seth Borenstein for Associated Press, citing @nature.com. 🌊
@sei.org
🎉 Congrats @perssonasa.bsky.social, SEI’s Research & Deputy Director, on her appointment to the UN Committee for Development Policy.
A leader in climate and sustainable governance, Åsa also chairs #SwedishClimatePolicyCouncil & advises @un.org, @oecd-ocde.bsky.social & @ec.europa.eu.
#UNECOSOC
Last Friday, @perssonasa.bsky.social and Somya Joshi welcomed Sally Radwan, @unep.org's Chief Digital Officer, to our HQ for discussions on #AI, sustainability and global challenges - strengthening the SEI-UNEP partnership. 🤝
#FrugalAI
The meeting followed SEI’s recent move to join the #SustainableAICoalition as a Research Founding Member. 🌍🤖
The new France, @unep.org and @itu.int-led coalition unites 90+ partners - governments, tech companies and research institutes - to align #AI with global #SustainabilityGoals.
So great to have had this inspiring conversation! Here’s to more collaboration soon in the space of #sustainable #AI

🎙️ PODCAST | 'New frontiers in technology'
In this episode of #CurrentsInSustainability, special guest @bezosearthfund.org's Kelly Levin reflects: “One thing that makes me optimistic is potential AI applications to sustainable development."

As someone who has reported on AI for 7 years and covered China tech as well, I think the biggest lesson to be drawn from DeepSeek is the huge cracks it illustrates with the current dominant paradigm of AI development. A long thread. 1/
