Climate Adam - Climate Scientist Reacts to AI Overlords

Posted on 17 February 2026 by Guest Author

This video includes personal musings and conclusions of the creator and climate scientist Dr. Adam Levy. It is presented to our readers as an informed perspective. Please see video description for references (if any).

Video description

Artificial Intelligence is here, and it's changing the world. But when it comes to climate change, whether those AI changes are going to save us or doom us depends heavily on who you ask. I take a look at what our AI Overlord CEOs have been saying about climate change, and about AI's huge energy needs. And see just how much they contradict each other and themselves - especially when it comes to the vast amounts of energy our AI future (might) need, and the climate change consequences this would cause. Featuring Sam Altman, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, Eric Schmidt, and Sundar Pichai.
