Tens of thousands of organisations have been caught out by a computer virus called WannaCry. The malicious software locks data away and demands a payment of up to $300 (£230) a time before it will restore scrambled files. In the UK, many hospitals fell victim and some health organisations diverted ambulances and cancelled non-essential services as they sought to contain and clean up the infection. Infections in more than 99 nations are being reported by security firms. It appears that the hardest hit are Russia and Spain.

A year ago, artificial intelligence was being sold as something close to science fiction — a technology that could transform society, cure disease, even reshape the global economy.
Today, the tone is changing. The companies leading the revolution are racing to the stock market — chasing billions in investment — while quietly confronting a much harder reality: AI is expensive, unpredictable, and far from profitable.
At the same time, some of the very people building this technology are warning we may be going too fast — even calling for a global pause.
And beyond Silicon Valley, a different story is emerging: growing public anxiety, political backlash, and the rise of what some are calling anti-AI populism.
So is AI entering its most pivotal moment yet — caught between financial pressure, technological risk, and political resistance?
AI Decoded Presenter Christian Fraser is joined by Financial Times AI Editor Madhumita Murgia, Thematic Strategist at Deutsche Bank Research Adrian Cox and Richard Coffin, Host of popular investing podcast ‘ The Plain Bagel’.

Rich people fly private jets to climate conferences to tell me I need to burn less gasoline.
Rich people tell me sea level is rising while they buy millions dollars + beachfront properties.
Rich people eat lavish meals and tell me I need to give up meat and eat the bugs.
I'll take climate change seriously when the people telling me it's a problem start taking it seriously. You’ve been saying the same bs for decades and it never happened. You can’t control nature.

Stand in the sun and feel its warmth. What you’re feeling is the photonic energy of visible light being converted to infrared radiation and absorbed by your body. This occurs at the quantum level just as when carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, etcetera absorb infrared radiation. Quantum mechanics explains global warming dynamics.

The world is being severely damaged due to human created pollution and destruction of natural environments. These things are quite obvious and can be traced back to human overpopulation. The hypothesis of anthropogenic (i.e. human caused) climate change has no hard evidence to support it.
The problem with the concept of anthropogenic climate change is that proponents consider only a few decades in their personal experience of the climate in their locality and then conclude that what they have experienced during their lifetime constitutes ‘normal’ climatic conditions. They then interpret any deviation from that supposed ‘normal’ climate as evidence of supposed anthropogenic climate change.
However the current climate, over all regions of the Earth, has been drastically different at varying times in the Earth's history. The coldest portion of the last glacial period began about 110,000 years ago and a warming period began about 12,000 years ago. Thus, for 98,000 of the past 110,000 years, the ‘normal’ or ‘typical’ climate consisted of as much as 30% of the Earth’s surface being covered with ice. The ice sheets covered vast areas of Europe, North America, and Asia; up to three kilometres thick in some locations, with the ice completely covering Canada and as far south as current day London, England.
Ref: https://donsmaps.com/icemaps.html
Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_Glacial_Period
Note also that there were forests and abundant animal life in the Antarctic during the Cretaceous period which ran from 145 to 66 million years ago.
Ref: https://www.bbcearth.com/blog/?article=when-dinosaurs-roamed-antarctica
The Earth has been much warmer and much colder at various times in its history long before the human race even existed as a species, let alone as a technological species. Our ephemeral existence is not long enough to determine what is ‘normal’ or ‘typical’ for the Earth's climate. Note that the human race has only been keeping climate records since about the year 1850 and what we know of climate over geological time spans comes from scientific study of the matter via geological evidence and samples of Antarctic ice and not from direct observation.
Ref: http://www.bgs.ac.uk/discoveringGeology/geologyOfBritain/iceAge/home.html
Read the articles cited above and get a grasp of the length of time involved in geological time spans. The entire history of the human race is but a blink of an eye in comparison with the age of the Earth and the climatic changes it has seen. What any of us have personally observed in our lifetimes can in no way be described as a ‘normal’ or ‘typical’ climate for the Earth throughout its extremely long history.
Rather than the false flag of supposed human caused ‘climate change’, we should be concerned with environmental pollution, environmental destruction and overpopulation. Those are the factors that put the human race and the planetary environment at risk. The best thing we could do as a species right now is to reduce the human population by using the very effective methods we have available for birth control. A smaller population would result in less resources consumed and less environmental pollution. For those who still believe that there is such a thing as anthropogenic (human caused) ‘global warming’ or ‘global climate change’, a smaller population would mean less resources of all kinds being consumed and consequently less ‘greenhouse gases’.
Note well that over the last 100 years the human population has grown from about 1.5 billion to about 8 billion people, increase of over 530%. Breeding more and more human beings at such a rate cannot go on forever due to the consequent stress on the environment. The inevitable consequence of unlimited population growth will be insufficient resources to provide sufficient food for an overly large population and an unlivable environment poisoned with toxic wastes.

As the climate heads into greater extremes globally, how can we best deal with future climate crises?
The short answer is that we cannot deal with them unless we take care of nature's inner balance.
We live in a tightly-closed and interdependent system in which everything boomerangs back to us. While living in such a system, we need to reconsider what we want and think, and how we treat each other, because our human connections are the primary influence on how nature responds to us.
It is common to think that climate is dependent on factors outside of us—whether it be balances between heat and cold in the environment, or the effects of various kinds of pollution we emit—because we lack a complete picture of how our attitudes to each other bring about the strongest responses from nature toward us.
No creature distorts nature the way that we people do. And it is not simply a matter of switching to renewable energy sources, electric cars and the like; it is a matter of how we relate to each other.
If we truly wish to witness more balance throughout nature and not have to deal with all kinds of cold waves and other natural disasters, then similarly to how we have electricity, water and gas meters in our homes, we should also have meters that count how much evil we emit into the world from our negative attitudes to each other. What I mean is that if we could feel the extent to which we emit negative forces into the world, which negatively ricochet back to us, then we would wish to change this negative driver within us. We would want to switch it to a drive that makes our human connections positive, and which harmonizes us with nature.
In simple terms, when we get up in the morning, we should first and foremost consider what we need to do in order for all people to have it good. Developing such an attitude is not so simple, yet we will need to seriously work on it as we head into the future. A life of increasing blows from nature or a life of peace and harmony depends on the extent to which we impact a shift in our attitudes to each other—from negative to positive.

So it was never then. There has been a 10% decline in natural disasters since 2000 (CRED). Normalised disaster losses have decreased since 1990 and human mortality due to extreme weather has decreased by more than 95% since 1920.

People tend to only show concern when major events or personal circumstances affect them. As humans, we often prioritize our own interests and fail to extend the same level of care and concern to others. This raises the question: why is it so hard to care for others? Perhaps it's because there's no monetary reward for doing so. However, if we want to make the world a better place, we need to start caring more. Though it may be challenging, it's important to start taking action now. After all, if we don't start now, when will we?

We've just read a great book by geophysicist Den Boer called "It's the sun, not us". He goes into the climate data, the agenda behind the propaganda, looks back at global temperature records, grand solar minimum records, heat transport via ocean circulation, variation of cosmic rays and the earth's evolution of atmosphere and climate. It's a good read, explained in layman's terms and really demonstrates with historical data and science how we have been lied to.
But also, thinking about climate alarmist like Gates, Clinton , Obama etc, would they really be buying multi million pound beach front properties if as they say, in 5 years the coastline as we know it will be under water? I think not. Just look at their behaviour and it tells you all you need to know about their morals and honesty.
