Erasing any datacenter ever built (and planned) would do almost nothing to stop climate change.

What we need is (global) electrification of transport and heating, CO2 free electricity and CO2 neutral concrete and steel.

Very effective ways to make this happen would be high prices on emissions, enforced on every local industry and all imports.

But too many people love their cheap fossil-based transport too much and are unwilling to make even small sacrifices to keep the climate stable; sad reality.

If only Al Gore warned us about AI as well! /s

Thinking these are at their current level relevant to climate change, is a level of ignorance that I'd almost put on a tin-foil hat to discuss how the fossil industry is feeding an anti-AI campaign of ignorance.
