AI’s potential climate benefits outweighed by role in boosting fossil fuels, study finds
Modelling finds AI-driven productivity gains in coal, oil and gas enable more emissions than applications in renewables avoid

Modern industrial fertilisers are made from fossil hydrocarbons. In future we can't use that. But, although I am prejudiced in favour of #organic agriculture, I'd be interested to know whether it would be possible to synthesise fertiliser from widely available resources without using fossil hydrocarbon.
Anyone got any pointers?

Students engineer reusable tool to monitor abandoned oil and gas wells
For many mechanical engineering seniors, the Senior Capstone Design experience is the first opportunity to solve a problem without a textbook answer. For six Texas A&M University students, that challenge came from Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), where they were tasked with improving sensor deployment in abandoned oil and gas wells. Months of testing, redesigning and collaboration led to a solution that earned first place in the mechanical engineering division of the Senior Design Showcas…

As Amazon oil drilling begins, scientists warn of risks to a little-known reef
The Amazon region always invites superlatives: the world’s largest tropical forest, the planet’s largest continuous mangrove belt, the river with the largest water volume and length on Earth. That makes any kind of exploratory activity in the region — and its potential impacts on this unique ecosystem — cause for great concern. That’s the case […]
