I think the point is that gas is not a bridge or transition fuel, despite the outdated rhetoric we hear from some quarters

You can append ?udm=14 to your search for ai free results, or install a plugin like this chromewebstore.google.com/detail/udm14...

Yeah, he seems to be comparing primary energy, but electric vehicles are so much more efficient than ICE it doesn’t need the same energy density… of course for flight it’s a different story

Indeed it appear they are not physics informed models, this paper appears to be some earlier work: www.science.org/stoken/autho...

There’s difference between physics informed machine learning and physics based models, see NVIDIA developer.nvidia.com/blog/forecas...

I believe these are physics informed models that are grounded in reality by incorporating boundary conditions and PDEs into the training loss. Much more useful than LLMs

To avoid this nonsense (and waste) I use a udm=14 plugin like this chromewebstore.google.com/detail/udm14...

At the next COP there should be a welcome event for fossil fuel lobbyists, in the basement, for two weeks

Here's the other problem: as @climateactiontracker.org point out in the report Gates' staffers either didn't read or chose to ignore - the shifting projections from 'bad' to 'less bad' STOPPED SHIFTING after covid and MIGHT BE SHIFTING BACK TOWARDS MORE BAD

100% and this also goes for hydrogen switching

billmckibben.substack.com/p/hey-grok-w... Bill makes the point that AI is enabling build out of likely unneeded fossil thermal plants with speculative demand increases.

Arguing that ppl should stay on X to 'be part of the conversation' or whatever is precisely equivalent to all the Very Serious centrist nerds arguing we should lean into right-wing framing for climate advocacy bc the movement is losing momentum.

In both cases: it only helps the shift rightwards

My hope (probably naive) is that the economics will shift enough that the transition to zero emissions will run ahead. Obviously that’s ignoring govt propping up fossil fuels and the structural changes needed from states.
