The Telegraph has just published *yet another* correction to one of its net-zero articles. By my count, that is now the TENTH such correction since Labour won the election (and covers 13 separate articles). I have now added the latest one to my epic thread which is tracking these corrections...

🚨 Episode 3 - not to be missed! 🌊 The way we are exploring our oceans is evolving fast. But how do we ensure innovation is efficient and equitable across global collaborations? Tune in for more from @helenczerski.bsky.social and guests 🎧 www.fmri.ac.uk/podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts

"The office in Houston for example... is effectively without its top three management positions. Other offices are struggling to maintain 24/7 operations. Experts with contacts at NOAA told the BBC of battles to get basic maintenance over the line, from computer systems to toilets."

Prof Adam Sobey, at the UK’s Alan Turing Institute, an AI research body, said more transparency was needed on how much energy is consumed by artificial intelligence systems, and how much they could save by helping to make carbon-emitting industries such as transport and energy more efficient.

⛅ A well-written and balanced piece by the FT on how AI is revolutionalising weather forecasting; the need for human experts & democratision of data and models; the disruption to forecasting caused by the US gov; and the new wave in "end-to-end" AI weather forecasting www.ft.com/content/a1b6...

Did the welcome for @uclgrandchallenges.bsky.social at the #aiforclimate summit with #khemkafoundation and #turingInstitute hosted at UCL IoE. UCL core themes: “disagree well” and “useful knowledge” pertinent. And @ucl-arc.bsky.social’s craftsperson-and-scholar theme - making it practical.

There's been increasing attacks on climate action from the Tories and Reform, but it remains the case 80% of Brits are worried about climate change, 68% think it should be a 'high'/'v high' priority for government, and 82% support the use of renewable energy. www.businessgreen.com/news-analysi...

Strong pass “Starmer said the “AI industry needs a government that is on their side”. Regulators will be told to “actively support innovation”, setting up a potential clash with people who believe regulators’ primary role should be to protect the public from harm.”
