The latest in our "AI, technology & society" series, this month's LSE iQ podcast asks what the environmental costs of AI really are with @couldrynick.bsky.social, @eugeniedugoua.bsky.social & @cearacarney.bsky.social
Producer Anna Bevan also visits a data centre in Slough. Really worth a listen.
Is AI destroying the planet?
This episode explores the AI sustainability paradox: can AI be both a climate solution and a climate problem?

1/ NEW RESEARCH: Our study reveals 46% of pesticides embedded in EU agricultural consumption originate from imports, despite imports constituting only 17% of consumption. This includes substances prohibited in the EU. This regulatory gap fuels leakage effects and hurts EU competitiveness 🧵

Commentators emphasize that the CA fires don't discriminate.
That's misleading:

There are now more than 200 million heat pumps installed around the world.

It is a mature technology but we need to see the number of heat pumps to triple to meet the climate scenarios.

I think in economics we are getting to an interesting place of (relative) epistemic humility about merhods #EconSky. Theory first reigned, then the credibility revolution arrived, and some took it to extremes. And now we are back to a more balanced approach of methodological pluralism. Thoughts?
"A good precisely specified method can establish only results of a certain kind. So, if you privilege some set of methods—for instance claiming they are best or most rigorous...—you necessarily thereby circumscribe the kinds of results that can be established."

and never know what kinds we miss

The vast majority of respondents believe published SCC values to be downward biased. The average "best-guess" SCC ($142 per ton CO2) is more than twice their literature estimate ($60 per ton). Experts substantially underestimate published SCC, at least compared to our findings.

We also analyze SCC variation in a multi-variate setting, looking at relative changes in the SCC as a function of model structure. This summarizes information from the large body of work adding richness to earlier SCC models in the Earth system, uncertainties, impacts and representation of utility
