The robots are coming (to help fight climate change)
from What On Earth
From potato rovers to wildfire sniffers, AI is being put to work. But there’s a catch: the technology’s growing carbon footprint. Last week, we talked about cold weather and the grid, heat pumps and EVs. You listened…and wrote in. Climate Change Minister Steven Guilbeault responds to those topics and more. Melina Laboucan-Massimo – What On Earth’s Indigenous climate solutions columnist – shares the story of the Mesgi’g Ugju’s’n wind farm on Mi’gmaq territory in Quebec.
