Energy stability or a 'climate bomb'? The arguments around Beetaloo
By Matt GarrickThe Northern Territory government says it "stared down the hypocrites" to get gas flowing from the Beetaloo Sub-Basin. But will the project be the economic game changer that's been promised?

“There were elders who started to get sores in their mouths because of the pesticides. We use our mouths to help in basket weaving,” Young says.
“And then if you’re cooking in these baskets and the material has been sprayed, then people can be ingesting it.”

Menjaga Bumi untuk Generasi Mendatang: Tanggung Jawab Bersama dalam Konservasi Lingkungan
Di era modern yang ditandai dengan perkembangan teknologi dan pertumbuhan ekonomi yang pesat, isu lingkungan menjadi salah satu tantangan terbesar yang dihadapi umat manusia. Perubahan iklim, berkurangnya kawasan hutan, pencemaran udara dan air, serta menurunnya keanekaragaman hayati merupakan dampak nyata dari aktivitas manusia yang kurang memperhatikan keseimbangan alam. Di tengah kondisi tersebut, kesadaran akan pentingnya konservasi lingkungan menjadi semakin relevan. Foto ini […] -
Press Release: Rising #Emissions, Depleting #Water and Vanishing #Land—UN Scientists: #AI Is Threatening #NaturalResources for Billions
By 2030, AI's water use will match the needs of 1.3 billion people while its power use triples that of 650 million, UN University investigation warns
Date Published
3 Jun 2026Excerpt: "Inference, efficiency, and the rebound effect
"Public discussion has largely focused on the energy required to train massive models. Training GPT-3 was estimated to require 1.3 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of electricity, while estimates suggest GPT-4 consumed between 50 and 70 GWh. However, the report reveals this framing is outdated. Once a model is deployed, inference—the continuous running of models to answer everyday user prompts—becomes the dominant cost, accounting for 80 to 90 per cent of total #AI energy use. ChatGPT alone is estimated to process around 2.5 billion prompts per day, translating to roughly 383 GWh of electricity per year for a single product. Offsetting associated carbon emissions would require 2.6 million tree seedlings grown for 10 years, enough trees to cover a land area the size of Manhattan. The water footprint is equivalent to the minimum annual domestic water needs of roughly 500,000 people in Sub-Saharan Africa, and the land footprint is equal to over 800 football fields."

#Kayapó #ForestDefenders Urge #UnitedNations to Help Halt Illegal #GoldMining in #Brazil
By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews
July 23, 2024GENEVA -- "#Indigenous from Brazil urged the United Nations to join them and demand Brazil halt illegal gold mining, and its #mercury #contamination, now destroying the ancestral homelands of #Kayapó, #Yanomami and #Munduruku Peoples, during the U.N. Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
"Doto Takak Ire, Mebêngôkre, said, 'The Kayapó are still warriors and we will always be defenders of the forests.'
"'We do not want any kind of #exploitation of #NaturalResources in our territories. We want the #Amazon protected, so that our children and all the children of the world can grow up healthy.'"
