AI is ‘accelerating the climate crisis,’ expert warns

1. All depends on the energy source. It does not matter if it’s AI. But to write something that includes AI in the title is of course good for clicks.

2. Not only data center energy demand is blowing up, they also use loads and loads of water for cooling (~300,000 gallons of water a day).

3. Let’s rank things by climate destruction.

   War. Industrial farming. Construction. Shipping. Transportation. Way more stuff. AI.

   Ban war and we could have 50x more Ai.
