The statement "climate adaptation is indistinguishable from efforts to improve human welfare" is the sign that someone does not understand the magnitude of the planetary crisis we face — or how human systems actually work within the context of the climate and biosphere.
Now #TheAtlantic (www.yahoo.com/news/article...) is platforming #BjornLomborg-style soft climate denial ("it's too late", "we should just adapt") in its defense of @billgates.bsky.social widely-criticized (see www.theguardian.com/environment/...) & misguided (thebulletin.org/2025/10/you-...) memo:

China’s CO2 emissions have now been flat or falling for 18 months, starting in March 2024.
This trend continued in the third quarter of 2025, when emissions were unchanged year-on-year.
If this trend starts to move into sustained carbon emissions reduction it would be hugely significant.

You can’t reboot the planet if you crash it
What Gates is putting forward aren’t legitimate arguments that can be made in good faith. They are shopworn fossil fuel industry talking points.

One of the best pieces of advice that I got from a talk about PR reviews: Be the first reviewer for your own PR. I still need to remember that advice more often. But whenever I do, I spot at least one thing that I instantly need to fix, even if I thought I was super careful before.

Could be my confirmation bias, but it seems like the AI hype is crumbling. I see more critical or at least more realistic comments from people who have been part of the hype before. The bubble is also becoming more obvious, which definitely helps.

How to completely ruin your support in three simple steps:
1. Use an AI chatbot that runs on AWS as firewall before your human support team.
2. Don't offer a secondary way to reach your support team
3. Wait for AWS outage

The first time in my life, I sent a letter to the Bundeskanzler. What he and his party are doing at the moment is just disgusting. Local collaborations with the AfD, copying their claims and trying to appease their voters.
