Scientists warn that the Arctic is warming far more quickly than the rest of the world and that this rapid change significantly impacts species, glaciers, and the planet’s climate. In the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard,

The data hasn’t improved since then, although, fortunately, AI tools have vastly improved and offer new possibilities.

Precise, verifiable, and granular data is key to climate risk mitigation. Increasingly, artificial intelligence systems emerge as the preeminent tools for collecting and analyzing climate insights with unprecedented accuracy and scope.

Scientists at the University of Lausanne (UNIL) have used AI to massively speed up computer calculations and simulate the last ice cover in the Alps. Much more in line with field observations, the new results show that the ice was thinner than in previous models.

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned that unchecked climate change and AI pose existential threats to humanity. He emphasized AI's potential disruptiveness to economies and insisted it should benefit humanity rather than dominate it.

U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres ratcheted up his warning about climate change and said the world’s thirst for fossil fuels is a “Frankenstein monster” that spares no one, while calling for greater attention to risks posed by artificial intelligence if its ascent goes ungoverned — even as some leaders played up its promise.

Generative AI chatbots fail to adequately reflect fossil fuel companies’ complicity in the climate crisis, a Global Witness investigation has found.

Companies like Google, Meta, Microsoft and Amazon are building large data centers in Indiana for AI. Each one requires power 24/7 and a lot of it. But Indiana utilities werent anticipating this when they made plans to get more power from sources like wind and solar.

Philanthropy can help scale it where it’s needed most. At last year’s COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan, world leaders grappled with a critical question. As natural disasters increase in frequency and severity,

He opens federal land for data centers but only with renewable power.

Sarah Kaizar’s AT Feed is an automated aggregate of current climate news and a critique of the future of information.

In early January 2025, amid the wildfires in Los Angeles, multiple posts about the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on climate change circulated widely.  Since LA is on fire and part of the south is frozen,
