Many people claim AI can help us solve climate change, so I decided to ask Google Gemini.

It regurgitated the same points climate advocates have made for for over 40 years:

  1. Transition to Renewable Energy
  2. Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions
  3. Sustainable Agriculture and Land Use
  4. Climate-Resilient Cities and Infrastructure: Design cities to be more walkable, bikeable, and transit-oriented
  5. International Cooperation and Policy

So there we have it folks.

If you’ve been waiting for an LLM to give you the list of things we need to do to solve climate change, then you now have the answer as regurgitated by an AI.

Now let’s get on with it.

    I think we fundamentally agree to the same thing, and the things that need to happen for us to get there.

    I’m probably more pessimistic because our elected leaders (with no foreseeable change happening any time soon) have been waging war on all things green and sustainable. As an example, our provincial leader recently suggested that we stop building cycling infrastructure to help ease traffic congestion. The public voted for him, then re-elected him, despite the massive damage he’s caused our protected areas and the downgrade to transportation he pushes.

    So, even when we know what needs to be done. How do we convince voters to make the right choice in their elected officials? And then convince every branch of government to follow suit with making the right decisions. :(

      @Showroom7561 I take it you’re talking about Doug Ford?

      I don’t follow Canadian politics closely, but from what I’ve read, he sounds like a nasty piece of work (and that whole family too, for that matter).

      So I can certainly understand your pessimism!

      Just remember there’s always a long game in politics.

      Keep advocating, keep organising, keep building connections, alternative institutions, and counterweights. Ford’s reign will end.
