"A thinktank with close ties to Saudi Arabia and substantial funding from a Donald Trump ally needs to present a particularly robust analysis to earn the right to be listened to on the climate crisis. On that measure, Tony Blair’s latest report fails on almost every point."

Rosebank oil field emissions would equate to 70% of the UK's annual total, yet the developer claims this isn’t significant.
Climate & environmental impacts must not be ignored - Rosebank must be rejected due to the catastrophic harm it will cause to our environment.

AI's promoters argue that it could potentially be used to cut emissions.
But (as well as the direct emissions from data centres) it is actually being used to increase emissions by allowing fossil fuel companies to increase their output.
