Growing global adoption of electric vehicles helped avoid the consumption of 2.3 million barrels of oil per day last year. By 2030, avoided daily consumption could more than double to 5.25 million barrels. “Electric vehicles are increasingly cost-competitive with gasoline cars. Oil volatility means EVs are a common-sense choice for countries wishing to insulate themselves from future shocks.” Daan Walter, analyst at Ember.

Per @AndyMasley's new tool, alfalfa growers in Colorado alone use 16 times as much water each year as all the data centers in the United States.

New data from UNICEF show that progress in reducing child mortality has slowed, but it has still declined by an incredible 60% since 1990. In 2024, 8 million fewer children died than in 1990.

It is completely bonkers that so much ink has been spilled attacking this, and a stark indication of how shameless the disregard for truth is at certain reputable media outlets
Andy Masley@AndyMasley

A few people asked me to make an image of how much irrigated farmland would use the same water required for ALL ChatGPT usage, including every part of the process. I did a botec and my best guess right now is that inference uses about as much water as training, and power generation uses ~5x as much water as the data centers themselves, so it looks something like this. The water cost of manufacturing chips is marginal compared to how much water they use over their lifetimes.

Paul Ehrlich in the Population Bomb, 1968: “In the 1970s, hundreds of millions of people will starve to death despite any crash programs launched now. At this late date, nothing can prevent a substantial increase in the world death rate...” Reality: The number of people dying from starvation fell by 90 percent between the 1960s and 1970s. Looking at a longer time perspective, the difference is even more striking. Between 1900 and 1969, an average of 635 people per 100,000 died from starvation per decade. From 1970 to the early 2020s, that figure declined by 95 percent. In absolute terms, the decline is just as remarkable. Between 1900 and 1960, an average of 14.5 million people died from starvation per decade. From the 1970s to the 2020s, that number fell to 1.6 million per decade. And this happened while the world’s population more than doubled, from 3.55 billion when Paul Ehrlich wrote his book to over 8 billion in the early 2020s.

The World Giving Index tracks prosocial behavior such as helping a stranger, donating money, and volunteering time. In what seems like a world of woe, it's important to realize that these are increasing over time, contrary to most people's impressions. cafonline.org/insights/resea…

EVs are only ~5% of the global car fleet. Yet already displacing ~1.5 million barrels of oil per day — the early stage of structural demand erosion. Disruption doesn’t start when something is big, but when the curve begins to bend. The #Bettrification S-curve crossed that point.

It's still incredible that: 1. We're spending more on clean energy annually than fossil energy, and have been for years. 2. We're spending more on clean energy than we were on all military spending circa 2022. 3. Clean energy spending is doubling every ~4 years.
Zeke Hausfather@hausfath

One of my predictions in our Climate Brink year end wrapup was that 2026 might be the first year where global clean energy investment exceeds global military spending. Unfortunately with recent wars we will likely have to wait a few more years for it to occur

NEW ANALYSIS: UK emissions fell 2.4% in 2025 as coal fell to a 400-year low. Incredibly, we used less coal last year than than in 1600, when Queen Elizabeth I was on the throne and Shakespeare was writing Hamlet. All the details in our article: carbonbrief.org/analysis-uk-em…

Yes, AI is a bubble, we hear that on a loop. Hyperscalers are investing way too much, apparently. Fine. Let’s park that debate for a second. But have you seen this ARR chart from Anthropic, the parent company of the Claude model? What is this thing even doing. It has to be the fastest sprint to 20 billion in annual recurring revenue in history.
