   NVIDIA just hit the $5 trillion milestone: who's paying the price? | Introducing SystemShift

   We’re sharing a bonus episode from Greenpeace's Systemshift. This episode digs into the hidden environmental and social costs behind the global race to build faster, smarter AI. As Nvidia hits a $5 trillion market cap, communities in East Asia are bearing with the hidden consequences. Systemshift's host Joycelyn Longdon speaks with Katrin Wu from Greenpeace East Asia to uncover how AI supply chain is driving pollution, health risks, and rising emissions, in the attempt of catching up with increasing global energy demands. We hear from Sunryul Kim, a South Korean campaigner who filed a lawsuit against LNG Power Plants being built in his community and Lena Chang a campaigner from Taiwan, who tells us about the impact that the tech industry is having in her homeland. Even as the AI boom brings new pressures and environmental risks to communities in East Asia, there is hope. We can demand real power shifts and redistribution, to ensure those currently paying the unseen price are funded for a truly just transition. What can you do?  •  Sign the petition for a clean, renewable AI supply chain - https://act.gp/4nyaBQr  •  Share the episode to spark conversation about AI’s true footprint  •  Advocate for systemic changes in how the tech industry approaches climate responsibility - pushing for transparency, supplier support, and real investment in RE infrastructure where production happens  •  Read Greenpeace reports for more information: Nvidia Ranks Last on AI Supply Chain Decarbonization (https://act.gp/3LR02uC), Tracking electricity consumption & emissions from AI chip manufacturing

The True Arctic

Published 18 May 2025 · Transcript excerpt

[…] Well, for the podcast, it's interused with the scientists at Unis and we basically just try to talk about their different work, what they do. But as a journalist and I've also briefly worked in the travel industry up here and I guess it's sort of, it's easy to say the fact there are more polar bears than people and that's wrong because you would think the polar bears are basically dancing outside the airport and they are not. No, do you know what, and I'm disappointed that they're not. So I've bought my big camera and I haven't seen one. No, I think on average maybe five percent sees a polar bear. […]
