Top AI experts say AI poses an extinction risk on par with nuclear war.

Prohibiting the development of superintelligence can prevent this risk.

We’ve just launched a new campaign to get this done.

As we face the growing climate catastrophes, it's important to be able to laugh just a little: Will “sex motels” save the UN’s climate conference? www.climateandcapitalmedia.com/will-sex-mot...

Japanese and Alaskan climate advocates are coming together to tell Prime Minister Ishiba to refuse pressure to invest in Trump's pet project, Alaska liquified natural gas (LNG). The project is expensive, impractical, and would be ruinous for our climate.

Japan must resist Trump's Alaska LNG pet project

If Ishiba gives the nod, Japan will be buying overpriced gas and adding to global warming

Not a surprise, but it's clear: renewables are far cheaper solution to the climate crisis than carbon capture: cleantechnica.com/2025/02/16/r...

Carbon capture is touted by fossil fuel industries as a magic solution that will let us continue doing what we have always done. It's not.

The ballot effort few years ago tried to force fracking away from homes, schools, places people live. The oil & gas industry said "you can't limit us: we're the economy of Colorado. Turns out that's not true. 67,060 clean energy jobs vs 20,000 oil & gas jobs. Time to get fracking out of our homes

Colorado study suggests that proximity to oil and natural gas wells increases risk of childhood leukemia

The study builds on a small body of previous research, but Colorado’s oil and gas industry strongly disputes the findings.
