Why do we listen to these CEOs anyway?
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.
Well said Sir
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.
He’s just saying the quiet part out loud. Billion dollar corporations have never had any interest in doing anything to solve the climate crisis. Lots of the failure of late stage capitalism is that companies are driving off the cliff. It’s about extracting as much now so that CEOs can live large and hope their progeny gets to colonize Mars (which won’t happen.)
It’s more like he’s hoping his car sprouts wings and turbines
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.
Obviously this statement underscores the fact that Google has too much power. Break those motherfuckers up!
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.
“I don’t have to change my behavior” is the most trivially easy thing for anyone to convince themself.
name an american billionaire thats not a pos.
name a
n americanbillionaire thats not a pos.FTFY
true
Is the Patagonia guy a billionaire? He seems like a good dude.
AND continue to specifically highlight the ones who are going for the high score, like this fucking douche.
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

I think that if we ate the rich, we’d move closer to our goals.

Eric Schmidt: ChatGPT 4zz++ Premium Elite, how do we solve global warming?
ChatGPT 4zz++ Premium Elite: I don’t know, but I drew you as a minor being abused unprompted.
Reminds me abit of the ending of Nier Automata, just now with less hope of a better future…
To be fair, they’re only not meetable because Google refuses to meet them.

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.
