AI And The Climate’s Future

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reported that AI’s rapid growth threatens to undermine climate progress achieved in the past decade. While tech giants like Microsoft and OpenAI pledged to achieve net zero by 2035, McIntyre noted that these commitments were made before the massive energy needs of AI data centers became clear. With renewables unable to keep pace, fossil fuels are now filling the gap—putting global climate goals at risk.
