🌍 The Silent Threat: Nitrous Oxide and the Future of Humanity
A new UN assessment issues a stark warning: the rapid rise in nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions is jeopardizing the 1.5°C climate goal, harming the ozone layer, and impacting human health. As the most potent ozone-depleting substance still emitted and 270 times more warming than CO₂, urgent action is needed. However, the assessment also reveals tangible solutions that could cut N₂O emissions by over 40% and prevent up to 20 million premature deaths by 2050, offering a critical pathway towards a healthier planet.
Is AI the Green Energy Guru We’ve Been Waiting For? (Or Just Another Power-Hungry Tech?)
Artificial Intelligence is shaking up the green energy world — and not just because it uses a lot of power. In 2025, AI is proving to be a powerful tool in optimizing renewable energy, accelerating clean tech innovation, and even helping build a circular economy. But can something so energy-hungry actually help save the planet? Andrea dives into the pros, cons, and surprising opportunities of AI’s role in the sustainability revolution.
“We’re Fighting the Wrong Battle”: Climate Expert Warns Against Overinvestment in AI
“When I see €109 billion going into AI while the National Forest Office—which manages 10% of French territory—only receives €1 billion per year as forests are dying, I can’t help but feel we’re not prioritizing correctly… We’re rushing headlong into something simply because we can do it—while ignoring far more critical challenges.”
