What's with this weird 20th century style environmentalism revival that treats water and wood as scarce resources?
>>107875623Look at a deforestation map. Wood might as well be non-renewableWater is a little more dubious, but could theoretically become scarce if we do a little trolling...
>>107875623Climate change is affecting the global distribution of water (and to some extent wood as well, but the wood stuff is primarily driven by land use), so people are encountering more news about local and regional water crises.The problem is people either lack the nuance to understand these issues are limited to certain geographic contexts, or they deliberately ignore the nuance because it benefits them.Yes, your data centre in Texas draining the same aquifer that your agriculture and urban areas rely on is a problem. No, your data centre on the Pacific Northwest, sipping some water before it gets dumped into the ocean is not a problem (at least not with respect to water use).
>>107875623I mean, the vast majority of our planet's water is non-potable saltwater isn't it?
emphasis on the _clean and fresh_ water.
>>107875640The rural US is covered in tree farms though. Isn't deforestation caused by Brazilians burning down the amazon for agriculture?
>>107875583Ask AI?I hear it will achieve AGI in two more weeks, and $2 trillion in additional funding.Can you just wait 2 more weeks?
>>107875761when you think about it it makes sense that the people chasing intelligence are the ones who needs it the most. it adds up
