The humongous new AI data centers, satellite networks, ground sensors, cell phones, and all the data on earth will combine to create a "Skynet" scenario to control everything, and all life forms. Driven by a lust to get to "net-zero", this will far exceed anything related to climate change.

This simulation of satellites has now largely been fulfilled, but plans for more launches are in the works. This blanket of surveillance will monitor every square inch of the planet as systems are layered on. As the industry graphic above depicts, the payload for Technocrats lie in the "interventions." — Technocracy News & Trends Editor Patrick Wood

How do you know when a small-scale farmer in Africa, Latin America or Asia has sufficiently adapted to longer droughts or shifts in traditional monsoon seasons?

The complexity of this question means it is often left unanswered, with funding for such adaptation in developing countries dropping to around just a quarter of total climate finance provided by developed countries.

Delegates gathering at the Bonn Climate Change Conference to prepare for this year's UN climate talks will be anticipating such questions, with COP29 already dubbed the "finance COP".

In Baku, Azerbaijan, later this year, countries are expected to discuss a new climate finance deal after reaching the target of $100 billion (€93.2bn) a year in finance for developing countries two years later than agreed.
