Who should we invite to talk on AI and Climate?
- petervandijck 2y agoWe are doing an event at Climate Week NYC this year, and looking for ideas for speakers that have insights to share from their climate work/research/activism efforts. We are interested in technical perspectives, activist perspectives, policy perspectives, all of it. The positive, the critical. We have a preference for diverse speakers. Who should we reach out to?
- defrost 2y agoAndrew Forrest. Unlikely you'd get him unless it fits his schedule but you might get lucky. > We have a preference for diverse speakers. Mining magnate and climate activist .. with a marine ecology doctorate. Not a lot of them in the world. Builds big solar farms, develops giant electric trains, savagely critical of oil and gas extractors hiding behind carbon sequestation theatre.
