States gripped by an unseasonal heat wave, federal officials have announced construction of new natural-gas-intensive data centres, aimed at using artificial intelligence to solve the mystery of the high temperatures.<\/p>\n<p>With weather forecasts across North America reaching well into the 40s, Prime Minister Mark Carney has announced that Canada will analyze climate data using advanced AI, which is provided by data centres that raise surrounding temperatures by an average of two degrees Celsius.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor decades now, temperatures have slowly been rising all across the industrialized world,\u201d announced the PM as he strained to not sweat through his wool suit. \u201cNow, the only way we can possibly learn why temperatures are climbing is to ask AI large language models to do the learning for us, regardless of the surely-unrelated strain placed on Canada\u2019s power grid and water supplies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Looking westward, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith echoed Carney\u2019s call to build more data centres. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlberta has spent years ignoring the effects of oil extraction on our climate, so we\u2019re completely prepared to do that for AI as well,\u201d vowed Smith while coughing due to exhaust from a nearby AI data centre. \u201cAlso, there\u2019s no need for Albertans to limit their power usage, because I\u2019m sure AI will solve that problem for us too!\u201d <\/p>\n<p>In a related story, US President Donald Trump clarified that he actually knows that AI data centres contribute to climate change, he \u201cjust doesn\u2019t give a shit\u201d. <\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<strong>See More:<\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAI, artificial intelligence, heat wave\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p><a
