Generative AI and bad actors are being used to corrode the trust we have in science, so we must be active in the fight to combat this bad data.

If you care about the planet I am begging of you to not use and try your best not to engage with generative-AI. It won't just make us miss our climate goals; it'll kill us too. I sincerely wish I was being dramatic, but the current trajectory for its impact on climate, water, and waste is not good.

New paper on the air pollution impacts of AI data centres -> "...by 2030 an additional 1,300 people may die prematurely each year as a result. That would be a 36% increase over the current annual asthma-related deaths in the country" www.businessinsider.com/ai-20-billio...

DSCOVR 🔴 EPIC (Unofficial)
@dscovr-epic.bsky.social

Did you know? DSCOVR orbits the sun at Earth's L1 point, ~1M miles away toward the sun, in a Lissajous orbit around L1 (an unstable point). So it’s not perfectly aligned between Earth and the sun... the moon blocks Earth in some EPIC photos without eclipses, but is not seen during actual eclipses.
