A.I. Is on the Rise, and So Is the Environmental Impact of the Data Centers That Drive It The demand for data centers is growing faster than our ability to mitigate their skyrocketing economic and environmental costs

"Last July, NPR reported that each ChatGPT search uses ten times more electricity than a Google search. In March 2024, Forbes reported that the water consumption associated with a single conversation with ChatGPT was comparable to that of a standard plastic water bottle."

Absolutely!

I like this poll! 💚

The effort to keep this information out of public view has reached a level of intensity where the American people are clearly entitled to "adverse inference", i.e. you're allowed to assume the worst.

Isn't amazing that these racists have turned out to be racist!

What is wrong with these fools? I bet they accept 'science' when they are sick!!

oh look it’s the ghost of Christmas future for Australia

Free Public Transport and Social Justice in Australia Free public transport in Australia supports social justice, equality, and climate goals while improving access to jobs and housing.

Why am I increasingly learning to like Twiggy Forest? Maybe we should rename him Leafy Forrest?

I got this useful bon mot from a middle school teacher recently.

In response to, “I DONT UNDERSTAND,” he calmly said, “okay what steps have you taken to understand?”

And that’s when I realized that a lot of folks have no steps.

Happy birthday mate!

This is very bad! Endless resources to disrupt environmental protests and these guys can just rock up on Macquarie Street without problems? Nazis need to be comprehensively excluded from public life in every context as the zeroth priority of a functioning society

How about you, @albomp.bsky.social ?

Is the Australian government still complicit with the Trump regime and its extrajudicial murders in international waters? #auspol

Disgraceful duopoly.

FAFO

Another way to say this is two thirds want net zero to stay - a healthy majority. Lead with that.

Salmon farm's response to spike in dolphin deaths prompts questioning Tasmanian regulators question major salmon farm operator Huon Aquaculture about the effectiveness of its "predator" nets after a spate of dolphin deaths.

Huon fucking Aquaculture, deliberately freezing the carcasses of dolphins perishing in it's nets. Doing so because they know a necropsy will be next to useless. They're told not to, but they do it anyway. #toxicsalmon

‘It will never be forgiven’: UN climate chief warns world to act or face disaster Faltering governments will be blamed for famine and conflict abroad, and face stagnation and inflation at home, says climate chief at start of Cop30

YOU will never be forgiven, @albomp.bsky.social , for continuing to approve new gas and coal projects. YOUR legacy will be failing the Australian, the Pacific and the world's people.

Billionaire Tory donor and JCB chair Lord Bamford gives Reform UK £200,000 "Lord Bamford's latest political donation makes the point, yet again, that we need a cap on donations."

This kind of (seemingly) reverse corruption needs a look

1. Reform MPs praise JCB endlessly, councillors promote the firm's tech on their authorities.

2. Then the boss gives a £200,000 party donation.

To a cynical eye, it looks like an affiliate rewards scheme

We need to stop putting CO2 into the atmosphere.

Wow! They really use every possible space for advertising there! Great work guys 💚
