I just learned that data centers don't even NEED to use all the water they're guzzling up. It's all because the people making them refuse to make proper cooling loops, but it's cheaper to just turn all that water into waste. What the actual fuck. Want for efficiency is dead apparently.

Weakening UK net zero policy would damage economy, chief climate adviser says
Climate Change Committee chair Nigel Topping says U-turns damage investor confidence and disrupt businesses Weakening the UK’s net zero policy would disrupt business and damage the economy, the UK’s chief climate adviser has warned. Nigel Topping, chair of the Climate Change Committee (CCC), said: “The U-turns are really damaging to inward investor confidence. If we really want to grow the economy, then investing and getting good at building stuff is essential.” Continue reading...

Hey Aotearoa! There's another price match on donations to the Green party now, and we really need them to be funded so we can have policy based on reality instead of racist vibes/billionaire bullshit. Donate here: www.greens.org.nz/amp_up_our_c... More info from the Green Party directly 👇🏼💚
Your gifts have a tangible impact:

$15 pays for a small billboard

$28 allows us to have 100 conversations

$40 pays for one large hoarding

$140 covers the cost of 1000 flyers

$275 pays for one of 9 field organisers around the country for a day

$1375 is one field organiser for one week

The coalition parties use their funding to stoke the fires of disinformation, division and fear mongering through the media and advertising.

By contrast, our ground campaign and field strategy is supported by evidence just like our policy.

We know that people vote because of trust and the best way to build people's trust is to have one on one conversations. The number of conversations Green volunteers and candidates are able to have with people is directly linked to the number of people who Party Vote Green. Generally, 1 in 3 conversations turns out a vote for the Greens! So it's crucial that we have the financial resources to amp up our campaign.

Your vote matters and is the only thing, on election day, that can elect a Green Government. Funding matters because it helps us have more conversations with people in our communities, including those who may not have considered voting Green (or voting ever!) before.
