They know how to meet climate goals.
They’re just not sure how to do it while keeping power centralised in the same hands that currently hold it.
They’re meetable, it’s just the death cult of oil manufacturers don’t care.
Why do we listen to these CEOs anyway?
Kind of like speeding toward a cliff but he doesn’t think we can stop in time. Instead, he wants to floor it in the hopes of hopping the gap and landing safely on the other side.
That is certainly one of the ideas I’ve ever heard.
Remember in the 00s and 10s when tech companies promised they could solve every single problem, then proceeded to make everything worse?
Eric can go fuck himself.
Unhinged AI will solve anything human made by getting us killed. That will work very fast because there is no “human made” climate change when there is “no human”.
I also hate how they went from “human made climate change does not exist so we can keep everything as it is” to “we can’t meet the goals anyway so we can keep everything as it is” and how many people fall for it.
They want to keep their money and power at all cost and at this point I question more and more if we can take it from them peacfully. We have to take it to make a better world possible or even survival possible, because they will not be helpful ever.
Or… crazy idea but how about we just listen to what the experts have been recommending we do for years and actually implement some of it?
I feel like capitalists are waiting on some magic solution like some chemical we spray into the air or a miracle new fuel source.
The established suggestions from scientists (“fly less, stop buying SUVs/Trucks, eat less meat, consider a heat pump and solar panels” etc) doesn’t support the narrative that we can continue unabated infinite growth with no consequences.
What if we sold the solar panels and heat pumps on a subscription model? Then the corpos wouldn’t have to worry about building new inland docks for their yachts AND they could continue to bleed is dry! /S
Actually Ovo energy is trying to do that - they estimate a reduction in your energy bills based on installing an energy efficient system like solar, heat pump, loft insulation, etc. Then they carry out the work and you pay it off gradually through your energy bills.
The challenge I think is then if you want to leave them then you have to either repay that debt or the next energy company has to assume it. There’s a few ways it could be abused and of course the savings take years or even decades to pay off, so there’s a few kinks to work out.
I hope they manage to get it working though, it will be big for UK customers.
But AI bro. AI bro! AI!!
What a capitalistic shit speech from guugle smh.
Google, not M$. (Can’t seem to find my message to edit it)
Edit: found it!
To be fair, they’re only not meetable because Google refuses to meet them.
Everything’s impossible when you don’t give a shit
Everything’s impossible when you
don’t give a shitkeep it that way for profit
name an american billionaire thats not a pos.
name a
n americanbillionaire thats not a pos.FTFY
true
Warren Buffett maybe? At least I haven’t heard him be much of an asshole.
Gabe Newell is a billionaire and as far as I know awesome.
Is the Patagonia guy a billionaire? He seems like a good dude.
Bill Gates (but that’s debatable…he’s at least doing some good with his money)
A little pedophilia, a little work your (ex)wife started.
Should cover the cost of making stolen labor your life blood, right?
Mark Cuban maybe?
Maybe someone could give me an update since I haven’t worn my tinfoil hat in a while, but wasn’t Gates buying up land along the Mississippi that will be prime farming land someday once climate change has progressed far enough?
LOL.
no.
first of all everyone is doing something with the money one has.
second: no. bill only did bad things. its always a scam. just like elons boring company is a shill to disrupt building a railroadnetwork, EVERYTHING bill ever did had the same angle: money.
the bill&murdermelindagates foundation gave money to ny stock guy, stock guy bought options on food, food prices in africa rise, more people get sick, Bill&Scumlinda "chip in with vaccines and other shit they already invested in. just using a microsoft product makes you part of the problem.
Dude…you need to get off X and watch something other than Newsmax

Obviously this statement underscores the fact that Google has too much power. Break those motherfuckers up!
“I love life on Earth… but I love capitalism more.”
I think that if we ate the rich, we’d move closer to our goals.
It’s 2050. The sea levels have risen 3 metres. Hurricane season lasts 9 months of the year.
Eric Schmidt: ChatGPT 4zz++ Premium Elite, how do we solve global warming?

Former CEO of the river poisoning company says there is no way to meet our river poison reduction goals, so we might as well build bigger river poisoning machines because they might help us figure out how to stop poisoning the river. /s
I feel like there was a time when the tech folks in silicon valley had a lot of credibility, and we are now living in a period where most of the world sees them as a joke but that fact has not yet entered into the culture of silicon valley.
Similar thing happened to the games industry as well, I think. Initially it was creative people and engineers who were focused on what they were making. These days the industry is dominated by suits that just want to extract as much cash as possible from players.
Chant with me… Indie games… Indie Games! INDIE GAMES!
It went from niche hobby, to large secondary media market, to the largest entertainment industry in history. Game companies are, as you brought up, no longer being run by people interested in video games. While a lot of the talent they hire, are still people who are passionate about video games, a lot of them are, just people who learned a skill, in order to have a productive career. The latter is becoming a larger, and larger, percentage of the people actually making video games. Video games are just another industry now. Just like any other, they exist to make money, and the people who work for them are people who just want a pay check.
The indie development scene is the only hope really, for people who don’t want the top 40 pop charts version of games.
Give me the FromSoft 90’s death metal scene everyday.
the Suffocation era of Blizzard would be nice too
Yeah agree with you about indie games. Still some genuine passion there
And it finally, after all those years, took the toll. Ubisoft crashed hard and hopefully they burn and fizzle out like a wet fart they are, all of the people starting with lower management and up gets yeeted, and maybe the next owner in line will have more brains and listen to the community.
Don’t get me wrong, I haven’t bought or played their games for the past 10 years, with exception of the first The Division, but I’ve been following their death spiral for the last few years and I am glad it finally showed on a company. But we need more examples.
Agreed. They’ve been making shit games with great production values. I think they’d be better making animated films than games
I think Woz is the last tech idol I’ve had.
Dude is just wholesome.
