I've spent a fair amount of time in the Mozilla sphere, but that first question seems alien to me... it's so dense with initiatives or phrases that seem self explanatory to them, that I am questioning if it is real or not.

> How can we apply The Feminist Principles of the Internet and "Perma-Computing" principles to advance climate justice in the African-centric AI space?

I'm not able to make the leap from feminism, to climate justice, to AI. I'd appreciate an explanation if someone is actually closer to this.

Why AI water use? It looks like Zambia's problem is mostly having water that isn't potable. If it's too dirty for heat exchangers, wouldn't they use closed-loop heat pumps, maybe some exotic working fluid? I even see a few mentions elsewhere of distillation using waste heat (but you probably get sludge to scrub out and dump).

It's not! I would love to know how LGBTQIA+ individuals are disproportionally affected by climate change.

They're usually talking about higher poverty rates in that group, but much of the majority would also be affected.
