Yes, obviously AI is emitting way too much. It shouldn’t even be producing 0.2% of global emissions, let alone 2%. My main grievance is that no one ever talks about improving industrial and agricultural processes even though they produce around 29% of emissions and 20% of emissions respectively.

      Is your point that it’s hopeless to discuss it because farmers are unwilling to adopt new practices or because we’ve maxed out and no progress is possible, quickly revealed by talking to any farmer? Or is it that you believe me unworthy to talk about it because I am among the urban majority? It’s unclear from your line of questioning.

      99% of the “solutions” to agricultural waste and carbon emissions are proposed with absolutely no input from anyone with even a sliver of experience in farming.
