  6. The 23-Atomic-Bomb Valley: Why #Utah’s #AIDataCenter Is A #ClimateDisaster In The Making

    by Rex Freiberger
    Wed, May 20, 2026 at 11:18 AM EDT

    "Your state might be next. Utah counties just approved a data center so massive it would consume more power than the entire state currently uses, dump the heat equivalent of 23 atomic bombs daily into high desert, and potentially increase local #carbon emissions by 55%. Welcome to the #StratosProject#KevinOLeary’s 40,000-acre bet that #AI supremacy trumps everything else."

    [...]

    "Utah State University physicist Robert Davies calculated #Stratos would dump 16 gigawatts of #ThermalLoad into the surrounding valley—energy equivalent to 23 Hiroshima-scale atomic bombs worth of #heat every single day. You’re trying to cool massive server farms by blowing hot desert air over hot radiators, Davies notes, which doesn’t work well in high-altitude, arid conditions.

    "His projections show daytime temperatures rising 2-5°F and nighttime temperatures jumping 8-12°F across the region. #Desert #ecosystems depend on #NighttimeCooling to generate life-sustaining #condensation. Lose that temperature drop, and you’ve fundamentally altered how plants and animals survive in an already stressed #GreatSaltLakeWatershed."

  13. RE: flipboard.com/@globeandmail/bu

    Ten years ago, these "full-sized" trucks and SUVs would have been considered monsters.

    Ramping up the production of monster V8 engines is unconscionable as they drive our climate of a cliff.

  17. Grass fires raging in Nebraska.

    This is a time-lapse sequence, in infrared, of the state of Nebraska. It's reverse polarity, so the hot fires are black, and high-altitude cold cirrus clouds are white.

    The sequence starts in late morning of 12 March and continues to sunset of 13 March.

    On the 12th the surface winds were very strong and drove the fires dozens of miles to the southeast. As sunset came, the wind direction changed and drove the fires to the south.

    Overnight the winds were fairly light, so fire activity was low.

    The morning of the 13th the winds picked up again, but in yet another direction and drove the fires to the north.

    Finally, shortly before sunset the wind shifted yet again to drive the fires again to the southeast.

    Windy weather and/or red flag conditions are forecast for the next two days.

    The largest fire is the Morrill Fire: (half a million acres in a little over one day!)

  22. Compliments to James Stewart that he still can show some positivity at the end of the video. We are just fucked, but that was already clear a few years ago. We just got distracted with war, fascism and genocide. So let's call it ultra-fucked. Still we keep fighting! Until the end! 🥊

  23. Germany’s dying forests are losing their ability to absorb CO2.

    theguardian.com/environment/20

    > Vast swathes of the country’s trees have been killed off by droughts and infestations, in a trend sweeping across Europe. A shift towards more biodiverse cultivation could offer answers

    Even if such a shift could work today, it would take more than 20 years to star having an effect, by which time, the climate would be far worse.

    #climateDisaster

  24. “The Belem deal launches a voluntary initiative to speed up climate action to help nations meet their existing pledges to reduce emissions, and calls for rich nations to at least triple the amount of money they provide to help developing countries adapt to a warming world by 2035.”

    This is suicide. We can’t adapt forever. Our civilization is based on 10,000 years of relatively stable climate. That climate is now changing in ways we can only guess at.

    Yes we will have to adapt to what we have already done… but continuing to pump emissions into the atmosphere means we will continue to adapt to worse and worse and worse conditions until we can’t adapt anymore. No amount of money changes that.

    When you can’t adapt… you die.

    Canada and every provincial government is part of the problem. They are killing us now and killing our future.

  26. Hi friends. Hurricane Melissa hit Jamaica *hard* last month; my neighbour just shared with me that her mother and sister, who were evacuated before landfall, haven't been heard from since :( Melissa devastated her home community of Wakefield, but the ForUsGirls organization is organizing relief efforts in our community and across Canada (and the US). If you have anything to spare, please consider helping out: forusgirls.org/f/stand-with-ja

  28. Record leap in CO2 fuels fears of accelerating global heating

    The global average concentration of the gas surged by 3.5 parts per million to 424ppm in 2024, the largest increase since modern measurements started in 1957

    We're accelerating towards the cliff of #climateDisaster tipping points.

    The COP agreements mean nothing.
