Climate reporters @emorwee.bsky.social and @emdashsanders.bsky.social met up at #ClimateWeekNYC to ask each other how they’re feeling about corporate greenwashing and AI’s lovefest with Big Oil.

Turns out, they had thoughts.

It was a momentous day for #XPRIZEWildfire as we recently announced the competition’s awardees at the Awards Ceremony during #ClimateWeekNYC. The event featured insightful discussions about the need for new approaches to destructive wildfires and the role of breakthrough technologies.
