At vi må bruke diesel og bensin forsiktig ved en forsyningskrise, som nå, bør være minst like naturlig for Gahr Støre å si, som om bruk ved en pågående global klimakrise. At vi må forbeholde bruk til det strengt tatt nødvendige, som matproduksjon. At dette ikke er en selvfølge gjør meg trist.

Something to be said about politicians and pundits taking AI developers' apocalypse preaching more seriously than decades of very good climate science

There’s no snowpack in California, New York is as hot as summer, and this is happening in Michigan. Such climatic changes will get exponentially worse as the planet heats up, destroying our resources and stability. We need to stop using fossil fuels — now. www.nytimes.com/video/weathe...

A nice reminder from Ember, using British data. Wind and solar are complementary. Our system works best when you have both, each calling on their own strengths in terms of generation patterns. If either struggles to grow like it should, we end up with a more expensive, slower fossil phase-out

Du kan belåne prisstigning på bolig, og bruke de pengene på hva du vil. Det kan ikke folk på bygda. Du kan selge boligen i byen, og flytte hvor du vil. Det kan ikke folk på bygda. Løsningen er forøvrig økt beskatning av boliger. Det senker prisen på boliger, og bidrar til omfordeling.

Here's a really niche little category of LinkedIn AI slop: the anti-AI AI slop why use AI to generate......satellite imagery????? It would've taken LESS time to use an actual image of the site??

This is a far bigger fuel,fertilizer,food crisis for Asia & Europe than it is for US. That has been my argument since war began That weakest people will suffer most.Again, just as after Ukraine 20-30% SUPPLY is out.Asian govts now doing Covid-style DEMAND-side reductions tinyurl.com/PolycrisisWe...

En liten påminnelse om att civil olydnad är en viktig del av en levande demokrati. Påminnelsen kan behövas inte bara för politiker, debattörer och skribenter utan även vissa statsvetare, vad det verkar. www.xn--rdgrnt-wxad.se/2024/04/28/n...

No, the thing that has me *terrified* about AI is that when it craters and takes the economy with it, that we will respond the same way we have during every financial crisis of the 21st century: with austerity, and austerity breeds *fascism*. 9/

No, what I worry about is what happens when the seven companies that comprise a third of the S&P 500 stop trading the same $100b IOU around while pretending it's in all of their bank accounts at once and *implode*, vaporizing a third of the US stock market. 5/

I'm worried about AI psychosis. Specifically, I'm worried about the psychosis that makes our "capital allocators" spend *$1.4T* on the money-losingest technology in the history of the human race. 1/

«Det er et paradoks at når det er krig og krise, er det noen som blir ekstremt rike av det, mens andre har problemer med å betale regningene sine. Og jeg synes bare, som sosialdemokrat og som europeer, at vi har en oppgave i å sørge for at det er en viss grad av rettferdighet.» 🎯🎯🎯Norge

New study: most climate models underestimate the decline of the Atlantic overturning circulation #AMOC. The AMOC is on course to slow by more than 50% by the end of the century. 🌊 Very likely the AMOC will then be past the tipping point for full shutdown. 😨 us.cnn.com/2026/04/16/c...

"The world’s top 100 oil and gas companies banked more than $30m every hour in unearned profit in the first month of the US-Israeli war in Iran" That cash comes from all of us locked into reliance on dirty fossil fuels despite none of us asking for it www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Pretty sure Amazon Australia just discovered a time machine, and mind control, at the same time. It's pretty cool. Let me explain.

I snitt forbruker hver nordmann litt over 4 liter petroleumsprodukter per dag. Hver liter inneholder i snitt ca 35MJ primærenergi, eller nærmere 10MJ (2.8 kWh) nyttig energi. Så 4L blir ca 10 kwh/dag. Dette kan dekkes med energiproduksjon fra ca. 22 kvadratmeter solceller (160 kwh/år/kvm).

«fascists, don't have very good senses of humor. They don't make jokes, or if they do, the only kind of jokes they seem to make are sort of based on Schadenfreude. … it's interesting that if you look at comedians, there are very few right-wing comedians.» @rushkoff.com talking with Brian Eno.

Congratulations Equinor and all the fossil fuel companies raking in record profits thanks to bloodshed in the middle east while people in Asian countries have to line up for fuel and America's attacks have killed hundreds www.bloomberg.com/news/article... www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Å høre Kristin Halvorsen summere opp kjernekraftsutvalgets rapport er en fryd. Dette visste jeg ikke: 95 ferdige eller nesten ferdige reaktorer står rundt om kring i verden, men har aldri blitt satt i drift. Det er ca 400 operative i verden i dag. podcasts.apple.com/no/podcast/f...

Absurd! Gulating lagmannsrett gir oss RETT i at dumpetillatelsen i Førdefjorden er ugyldig, men vil likevel ikke stoppe dumpingen. Som "takk for innsatsen" dømmes Naturvernforbundet og NU til å BETALE 3,750 millioner kroner i sakskostnader. Et vanvittig brudd på rettssikkerhet og Århuskonvensjonen.

2026 will almost certainly be another year in which we here in Norway spend WAY more than the gov't forecasts we'll spend on building more fossil fuel infrastructure This is not healthy at all. It smacks of unplanned desperation, I think. ketanjoshi.co/2026/04/14/s...

How can anyone claim that halting global heating is not a critically urgent priority or that we need more fossil-fuel development? Coal, oil, and gas have already heated the world so much that this👇now seems likely to happen in our grandchildren's lifetimes.

V v good @eryk.bsky.social piece here about how OpenAI's policy statements are really just marketing: you can tell because they're asking for policies they have actively opposed! Like how fossil fuel companies 'ask' for carbon pricing!!! www.techpolicy.press/openais-new-...

Canada starts 'fuel tax holiday', including aviation fuel, expected to cost an estimated C$2.4 billion. The stupidest tool from the box. Keeps demand and prices artificially high, costs billions, and largely ends up with households that don't need support. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♂️🤦 www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

For all the handwringing about how hard it is to build energy infrastructure in the US, the tech companies have managed to build a remarkable number of data centers and methane gas power plants with virtually no bottlenecks so far…

- Increases and prolongs reliance on fossil (so next crisis hurts even more) - Often doesn't pass through to consumers (fossil co's just pocket it) - Benefits enjoyed more by the rich (who drive bigger cars longer distances) - Decreases gov't revenue so you end up paying for it in different ways

"Musk’s companies had cheered on the idea, promoting the “spicy mode” of his AI chatbot. The flood of fake images, including some of children, prompted government investigations on five continents" How people can rationalise still using this website is truly beyond me

Substack is gross AF

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.

People hate this shit so much. Nobody's having fun. Even the AI people are getting tired of this. They're losing and they know it. Even with the ever-growing revenues of OpenAI and Anthropic, things feel weird and bad. Anthropic's services are also randomly broken or rate limited to hell. Cool!

Mye stilltiende aksept rundt om kring. Fordi alle papegøyebrukere vet vel hva de går med på, ikke sant? smallsheds.garden/blog/2026/on...

Just recorded a great pod, and I gotta say ... solar and batteries are going to win. They are the main dish. Everything else is a side dish. In 10 years, you won't be able to find anyone who disagrees with this.

I got labelled as "disinformation" by this thing; seemingly operated by a pro-Israel guy who's labelling anyone against the country's genocidal attacks in Gaza and Lebanon as 'disinfo'. I suggest you block

Without energy efficiency, the EU would need — and pay — 31% more for energy today. Since 2000, efficiency has removed 265 Mtoe of demand from the market entirely. The best protection against a price shock is not finding cheaper oil and gas. It's needing less of it.

Do you ever look around and wonder why even the liberal world ignores climate change? Well, one part of the answer is surely the fact that banks do not price tipping points. time.com/article/2026...

If the world had followed ambitious climate scenarios, global oil demand would be at least 20% lower than it is today - about the same volume of oil that flows through the Strait of Hormuz.

When Hungary can do Orban, I’m sure USA can do Trump. Right?

In light of Orban's loss in Hungary, it is SO vital to go listen to this @naomiaklein.bsky.social interview with @themaybe.org / @alixdunn.com. Don't mistake the muscularity of anger for real, sustained power. Fascists of all kinds are showing how scared they are every single day.

This reality check by Rebecca Solnit grabs you right from the killer first sentence. Do yourself a favor & give it a read.

Et dobbeltlukket stred. Må være bedre enn som bare er lukket.

Når får vi første høyrepolitiker på MMA-match? ...må jo være flere høyresidepolitikere der ute som synes det Trump gjør er kult og veldig "maskulint" og som stadig blir inspirert.

Dette er et svik. Ekstremt frustrerende at dette er mulig og enda verre at muligheten benyttes. God journalistikk.

Jeg skriver i @dagsavisen.bsky.social i dag om norske mediers manglende forståelse for botter, falske kontoer, astroturfing og alt annet som kan få engasjement til å fremstå større enn det virkelig er. Fint om dere liker og deler fra alle kontoene deres!

so much imperial capitalism is white men hawking shit they do not own or, as property law would have it, they do not have in their possession.

Lurer på om norske oljesjefer og aksjeeiere har beriket seg på krig, med aksjesalg i egen bedrift, slik som de amerikanske har det. Siden Venezuela 1.1.2026 har Equinoraksjen steget 60%. heated.world/p/chevrons-c...
