Janet SalisburyHOST
I'm going to tell you a bit about them anyway.
Janet SalisburyHOST
So first of all, I'd like to introduce Zipporah Berman, who is joining us from Vancouver and is the co-founder and international program director at Stand Earth, which was formerly called Forest Ethics.
Janet SalisburyHOST
And she's the founder and co-founder chair of the Fossil Fuel Treaty.
Janet SalisburyHOST
Hi, everybody.
CassidyHOST
Garmin argued calls for moratoriums have to end, or American frontier AI could fall behind China, saying rivals are trying to trick us into slowing down.
BillHOST
Stand.Earth, an environmental nonprofit, told Ars it's a flailing attempt at damage control.
BillHOST
Their biggest objection? Amazon plans to back a power plant experts expect to become the largest source of U.S.
BillHOST
climate pollution.
DevinHOST
That's a lobbying memo with a check attached.
CassidyHOST
Stand.Earth's response to ours.
CassidyHOST
Credit on ending NDAs, but it calls the rest damage control.
CassidyHOST
Its math is a billion over five years against $220 billion in data center investment this year alone.
DevinHOST
And the part the pledge skips.
DevinHOST
Stand.Earth says Amazon is building what it calls the single largest source of U.S. climate emissions, a power plant in Pecos, Texas, at 33 million tons a year.
DevinHOST
That's their claim.
CassidyHOST
The bill and water promises are the parts operators can hold them to.
Johanna WagstaffeHOST
Hmm.
Johanna WagstaffeHOST
Uh, just so our listeners are clear on this, you've been doing this research for groups including, uh, Greenpeace, Stand.earth, and they're paying for this work?
Ketan JoshiGUEST
That's right, yeah.
Ketan JoshiGUEST
They financially support this report, and the reason that we're doing this work is because we really wanna shine a light where it hasn't been shone before.
Ketan JoshiGUEST
So, uh, you mentioned Greenpeace and Stand.earth.
Ketan JoshiGUEST
They focus on corporate accountability and climate, but there are also groups that are funding this report that focus on things like green software, like the Green Software Foundation.
Ketan JoshiGUEST
There's kind of a coalition of different parts of these different sectors that want to shine more of a light on the company's greenhouse gas emissions.
Joe DeMareHOST
Then we've got an interview with Brian Rogers.
Joe DeMareHOST
He and his coalition, which includes Stand Earth, the Rainforest Action Network, and Friends of the Earth, are launching a campaign this week called Charmin Wipes Out Bears.
Joe DeMareHOST
That's aiming to inform people about P&G's, the company's use of virgin pulp from old growth trees to make toilet paper.
Joe DeMareHOST
So we'll be hearing from him and having some strong opinions about why we need to have some of the oldest trees in the world used for that particular purpose.
