Two weeks ago a heatwave linked to climate change killed in Germany an excess 1300 people [1, 2]. It was the deadliest single day of the last 25 years [3] - the mean numbers of deaths per day is 2400 while June 29 reports 4800.

If the attitude to a German AI effort using renewables is to object "but think of the benchmarks!" that feels like a step in the wrong direction in general and, with this particular context, also in particular.
