Physics, climate change, system change. Knows quite a bit about material integrity, and wants to know more about the rest. Teaches natural science and math.

Jeg synes jo det er rart at det er "vi burde ha en plan for å fase ut fossil energi" er ansett for et helt sinnsykt radikalt standpunkt i Norge, mens "vi burde lete etter mer olje og gass mens kloden koker" er den allment aksepterte sannheten. www.vg.no/nyheter/i/Pd...
MDG kan utsette utfasings-frist: – Forventer å få noe tilbake
MDG har sagt at de siste gassfeltene skal stenges ned om femten år. Nå er de villige til å la tre av feltene fortsette lenger - i en gassinvitasjon til regjeringen midt i budsjettforhandlingene.

hovedproblemet med norsk oljepolitikk er at vi satser alt på at resten av verden mislykkes i sin klimaomstilling
dersom verden mislykkes i sin klimaomstilling er jo verden som vi kjenner den rimelig cooked med mindre du ikke tror på vitenskap
om verden lykkes i sin omstilling vil norge bli taperen

I think it’s pretty clear at this point that one of the main impacts of LLMs is to disrupt thinking: to make it so that far too many people never properly learn how to do it, and then to control the output so there are thoughts that people never learn how to think.

Anders Opedal (CEO of Equinor) said something wrong here.
He said that the IEA said no need for new oil and gas before, now they say more oil and gas needed. This is wrong.
The no new oil and gas is if demand drops in line with 1.5C, and always has been.
