    Except the US won’t do anything to solve their part of climate change, and the change in leadership will not affect their inaction. I think the best bet for solving climate change is a shift to renewable energy and laws and standards for AI and bot use.

    Every country also contributes to climate change. It’s not exactly an issue where you can put sole blame on someone. China for instance, emits the most CO2, but not by per capita, and also because they handle the world’s manufacturing and emissions. The Middle East, Oceania and countries below the equator all contribute more than their share of emissions… But that’s also because they’re in a hotter, drier climate.

      If you think solving climate change requires a switch to renewable energy and don’t see the difference between US Democratic and Republican Admins, you’re not approaching this from a place of rationality

        Okay, what have the US Democrats done to prevent emissions? Since from my I’ve seen, they didn’t do a whole lot. Nor were they running on promises to help prevent climate change.

      best bet for solving climate change is a shift to renewable energy

      Nuclear energy is the future. Companies like Microsoft are now using entire reactors for their AI server farms.

        Nuclear energy is a scam devised by mining companies and fossil fuels. That’s not to say it’s not green or not effective. But it takes almost a decade to get a single plant running efficiently and there are multiple risks involved in its operation.

        Renewable energy on the other hand is so compact and efficient you can have it on roads, or on your house, or backyard, or really wherever there’s sun and wind. You can be independent with renewable energy, literally go off the grid.
