Pumpkin Spice and the AI Apocalypse - Watts Up With That? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ah, autumn in America. It’s time for some of our favorite seasonal rituals: leaf-drenched pumpkin patches, foamy lattes, retro barn jackets, and yet another self-reported Anthropic AI researcher declaring to the world that the product he’s been working on might just murder us all.

AP and Fortune Magazine Ignore Population Trends to Blame Climate Change for Bear Encounters - Watts Up With That? (opens the original)
Read excerpt

Every day is the same: clear blue, suffocatingly hot, uncannily still. The parks are brown, gardens turning to dust. Stressed trees drop huge boughs. At night, foxes prowl, thirstily searching for water. Brambles appear far too early; the pond at the end of the road is silting up. She feels discombobulated – sweaty, exhausted, her
Blue States. High Rates ($0.55/gallon premium) - Watts Up With That? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ed. Note: The post reproduces the introduction and conclusion of a new report by the Institute for Energy Research (IER), The Pacific Premium: Why Gasoline Costs More in Democratic-Controlled States. The bottom line: in Democratic-controlled states, state fuel taxes, carbon mandates, and regulations add on average 55 cents per gallon at the pump. “For policymakers, that is the actionable point: the levers that explain the gap are specific and identifiable, and the largest of them, state fuel tax
