🌊🔍 "Atlantic current could shut down, say scientists." Because, you know, a giant ocean conveyor slowing down is just an overhyped sequel to "The Day After Tomorrow." But hey, at least we're not sure yet, so let's keep those 🥶 parkas on standby, just in case!

@davidgerard @AimeeMaroux Google’s offloading their #EnvironmentalImpact with #OnDeviceAI in #Chrome where every browser is now a 4GB micro-LLM; shifting load and performance onto the user.
This extra #Bloatware and #GreenWashing can be disabled by going to Settings->System and disabling on-device AI. I’m not certain about phones or tablets.

🚨Breaking: Oil industry gets a free pass to trample over cute Gulf critters in the name of 'national security' because, obviously, nothing screams 'protecting the nation' like destroying its ecosystem. 🦀💥🌊 Guess we'll fight terrorism with endangered species—take that, dolphins! 🐬🔫

Scientists have found an alarming #EnvironmentalImpact of vast #DataCenters
Story by Laura Paddison, March 30, 2026
Excerpt: "They found surface temperatures increased by an average of 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit after a data center started operations. In extreme cases, nearby temperatures increase by up to 16.4 degrees Fahrenheit.
"These increases were consistent across the globe, the researchers found. In #Mexico’s #Bajio region, for example, which has become a data center hub, the study found unexplained temperature rises of around 3.6 degrees over the last 20 years. A similar situation was seen in #AragonSpain, a European center for #hyperscale #AIDataenters, which recorded a temperature increase of 3.6 degrees which was not replicated in neighboring provinces.
"Strikingly, the impacts weren’t limited to a data center’s immediate surroundings; temperature increases affected areas up to 6.2 miles away, the research found, affecting more than 340 million people.
"The findings are particularly alarming, the scientists say, because AI data centers are set to boom over the next few years, and these temperature rises come as planet-warming pollution is already making #HeatWaves more extreme around the world."
