Really good Bloomberg package on the AI data centre impact on urban heat island effects in the US, with exhaust heat raising temps up to 4ºF (2.25ºC) higher up to 1/3 mile away from the data centre. One more driver to 70% US opposition to data centres. Gift link: www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

Sunday’s sunset sky. [Wasatch Front of the Rocky Mountains, Draper, Utah]

iPhone photograph taken in Draper, Utah at the base of the Wasatch Front of the Rocky Mountains, facing east as the sun sets behind us. Above a mountain ridge are layers of storm clouds that have separated and show peeks of blue sky. The clouds are intensely illuminated by the setting sun in rich shades of pink and purple.

Factually untrue. Data centers are absolutely poisoning communities, from fumes from their diessel generators, to the incessant loud noise, to the climate-destabilizing massive amounts of CO2, plus hazardous and harmful air pollution & coal ash from their electricity generation.

To be fair the data centers are not doing that! (Aside from maybe noise if there’s not enough sound insulation). Data centers are just servers in a room. Natural gas plants attached to data centers are doing all that and that’s why we shouldn’t power these data centers that way

“Whether or not we continue to enforce a universal conception of human rights at moments of outrage & incomprehension, precisely when we think that others have taken themselves out of the human community as we know it, is a test of our very humanity.” ~ Judith Butler #Painting by Réne Milot

“A single radio post still heard him. The only link between him and the world was a wave of music, a minor modulation. Not a lament, no cry, yet purest of sounds that ever spoke despair.” (Antoine de Saint-Exupéry “Night Flight”, 1931) 🎨 Whistler “Nocturne in Black and Gold" (1875) #BookwormSat

Keogram: What if you could see the entire sky—all at once—for an entire year? That, very nearly, is what is pictured here. Every 15 sec during 2025, an all-sky camera took an image of the sky over NL. Central columns from these images were then aligned and combined to create the featured keogram.

The oxygen that keeps us alive comes from natural ecosystems: half on land, half at sea. It's not complicated: we are TOTALLY dependent on the living world. Yet it's still treated as nothing but 'resources', to exploit and destroy for profit.
