Artificial Intelligence (AI) impacts on climate change mayhem is a 
double-edged sword.
Can we use AI to fight climate change, or is its ability on the dark 
side to generate misinformation and disinformation too powerfully 
overwhelming.

    I apologize for the inconvenience, but it seems there was an issue
    with retrieving the recent news items on global warming and climate
    destabilization. I recommend checking reputable news sources such as
    BBC, CNN, or The Guardian for the latest updates on this topic.

    On climate change, what are the more important scientific insights
    that humans seem to be missing
    ChatGPT
    While I can't provide real-time updates, as of my last knowledge
    update in January 2022, there were several important scientific
    insights related to climate change that people might not be fully
    aware of. These include:

    Tipping Points: Scientists have raised concerns about potential
    tipping points in the climate system, where small changes could lead
    to abrupt and irreversible consequences, such as the collapse of
    major ice sheets or shifts in ocean circulation patterns.

    Ocean Acidification: Climate change isn't just about rising
    temperatures; it also leads to increased levels of carbon dioxide
    (CO2) being absorbed by the oceans, causing ocean acidification.
    This can harm marine ecosystems and species.

    Permafrost Thaw: The thawing of permafrost in the Arctic releases
    large amounts of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, into the
    atmosphere, which can accelerate global warming.

    Feedback Loops: There are various feedback loops in the climate
    system that can amplify warming. For example, as Arctic ice melts,
    it reduces the Earth's reflectivity, leading to more heat absorption
    and further ice melt.

    Impact on Biodiversity: Climate change poses a severe threat to
    biodiversity. Shifts in temperature and habitats can lead to species
    extinction and disruptions in ecosystems.

    Social and Economic Impacts: Beyond environmental effects, climate
    change has significant social and economic consequences, including
    displacement of communities due to sea-level rise and increased
    frequency of extreme weather events.

    Long-Term Effects: Climate change isn't just a problem for future
    generations; its effects are already being felt today, and its
    long-term consequences could be severe if mitigation efforts are not
    taken seriously.

    Please note that the understanding of climate change is continually
    evolving as new research is conducted, so it's essential to stay
    informed through reputable scientific sources for the latest
    insights and developments.

    Jan 2022 is not a current enough to command respect for climate
    knowledge.
    ChatGPT
    I understand your concern, and I apologize for not being able to
    provide more up-to-date information on climate change. Since my
    knowledge is based on information available up to January 2022, I
    recommend checking reputable scientific journals, government
    agencies, and climate research organizations for the most current
    and respected insights into climate change...

*Five examples of the UK’s crackdown on climate protesters*
As UN expert says UK’s actions are chilling and regressive, we look at 
some of the cases

As UN expert says UK’s actions are chilling and regressive, we look at 
some of the cases
UN expert condemns UK crackdown on environmental protest/
/
The UN special rapporteur on environmental defenders Michel Forst has 
said the UK’s crackdown on climate protesters is chilling, regressive 
and a restriction on fundamental freedoms./
/
We look at some of the cases:

    Defendants on trial for peaceful protest were forbidden from
    mentioning the words climate change, fuel poverty or the civil
    rights movement when they were on trial for public nuisance. Several
    people, including a social worker, David Nixon, and the Dorset
    councillor Giovanna Lewis, were jailed for contempt of court when
    they defied the restrictions to explain their motivations for taking
    action to the jury.

    A retired social worker, Trudi Warner, is being prosecuted for
    contempt of court for holding up a sign outside a court defending
    the right of juries to decide a case on their conscience. The
    decision to prosecute was made by the then solicitor general Michael
    Tomlinson KC, a minister and the Conservative MP for Mid Dorset and
    North Poole.

    Stephen Gingell, 57, was jailed for six months after pleading guilty
    to taking part in a peaceful slow march protest on a London road.
    The sentence is thought to be the first jailing under the Public
    Order Act 2023, which includes an offence of “interference with key
    national infrastructure”. Gingell is appealing.

    Civil injunctions have been issued to hundreds of individuals.
    National Highways has injunctions covering 4,300 miles of motorways
    and major A roads. Anyone who breaches this injunction faces
    imprisonment and/or an unlimited fine. Any corporation can apply for
    a civil injunction, and individuals can be punished without a trial.

    Marcus Decker and Morgan Trowland made history as the peaceful
    protesters who have received the longest jail sentences in modern
    history in the UK when they were sentenced to two years and seven
    months, and three years respectively for public nuisance. They
    climbed the Queen Elizabeth II bridge over the Dartford Crossing and
    unveiled a banner for Just Stop Oil in 2022. The longest jail term
    issued to the suffragettes was three months./
