  1. Nothing is more important than data centers and computer technology – nothing is as important for the future

    US datacenters face further backlash over wastewater pollution

    From rare bacteria to ‘forever chemicals’, a series of cases of violations or alleged pollution has prompted alarm

  2. #Climate goals ” are pretty words you can say at podiums and slaps on backs with people who will not do any actual work to achieve them.

    It’s so easy to talk about 2030 back in 1990 (or today, hi 2050) and fellate each other on #ClimateChange while you hardly look at a thermometer in your air conditioned expo center.

    I’m in the wrong job. I could’ve gotten 6 figures doing actually nothing with the #g20.

  3. Flood map: See the Irish coastline areas at ‘very high’ risk from flooding, erosion or sea level rise – The Irish Times

  5. Wetlands emit ~1/3 of global methane, a climate driver. Yet their emissions are the biggest uncertainty in the methane budget. Our new study (doi.org/10.5194/egusphere-2025) with the ICON model shows wetland CH₄ rose 12% since 1855, driven by CO₂ fertilization. Emissions are highly sensitive to hydrology and only captured in coupled land-atmosphere models. Accurate climate projections need interactive wetlands! #climateScience #methane #wetlands #earthSystemModeling #climateChange #Research

  6. Fresh organically grown #vegetables are packed with #vitamins, #minerals, and fiber that strengthen #immunity, aid #digestion, and protect against #diseases. Grown without synthetic chemicals, they are safer, tastier, and more nutritious. Eating them #fresh preserves their #natural flavor and nutrients while #supporting sustainable #farming and a healthier environment. #Organic #gardening #BIGHARVEST #nature #environment #foods #climatechange #solarpunk #chemical #vegetables

  7. IN WHAT WORLD is it acceptable to ask firefighters, rescue teams and emergency health workers to face escalating climate disasters with broken budgets, missing gear and fewer staff, while oil and gas corporations pocket tens of BILLIONS?

    Make polluters PAY: fund rescue crews and emergency systems, protect communities, and phase out fossil fuels as fast and fairly as possible to stave off even more climate chaos.

  8. carbon offsets be like:

    "Pay me to not cut down this forest."
    "Were you going to?"
    "..."
    "..."
    "Will you give me money if I say yes?"
    "Cool here's £1 million, just sign here and the government will let us do £20 million worth of pollution."

  9. JUST IN: preliminary calculations suggest Summer 2026 was Earth’s Hottest on Record 🥵 🌍
    ERA-5 data reveals June-July-August 2026 was the hottest summer on record for the Globe. In fact, ALL the hottest summers have been in the last decade! Europe, the US, and the El Niño Ocean region.

    Top 10 List (Avg Global Temp):

    1. 2026 - 16.802°C
    2. 2024 - 16.797°C
    3. 2023 - 16.765°C

    9. 2021 - 16.395°C
    10. 2017 - 16.364°C

    Important note: when Copernicus final numbers come out in a few days the top 2 may shift. 2026 is barely higher than 2024, and any methodological difference may push 2026 below 1st place. Data ERA-Copernicus. 2026 Preliminary.
