Data centres for AI could more than double Scotland's total electricity use. If it’s really Scotland’s Energy, why let big tech use so much of the renewable electricity we need for our homes, our transport, our industry? We need a moratorium on hyperscale data centres. @stephengethins.bsky.social

HG Wells is alleged to have remarked "Every time I see an adult on a bicycle, I no longer despair for the future of the human race”. You could see this shocking chart as an index of civilisation. A country which gets this issue so badly wrong is likely to fail in many other ways.

The developer Apatura said a charter it had drawn up on 'green' data centres could help with policy and planning decisions on the controversial projects. After lobbying by the firm, the Scottish Government considered endorsing it.  Full story:

What makes a data centre 'green'? One major developer has lobbied for its own definition
The Scottish Government has been supportive of controversial green data centres and is liaising with the industry. But critics argue there are environmental considerations and companies must not be allowed to “write the rules”.

Jam today *and* jam tomorrow! This is so important when in many people’s minds (for whatever ever reason) climate action is seen as making lives worse now. Great to see this broad coalition working together.

We create an economic system that makes people sick then we punish them for being sick and push them into the types of jobs that will definitely make them even more sick and then make them even poorer which makes them sicker. Explain that logic!

📢 New report out now highlights how our economy is failing the people of Scotland. We joined voices with leading academics and economists to call for the people of Scotland to have more of a say in the decisions that impact their lives. Find out more: www.weallscotland.org/post/new-rep...
"In a just and compassionate Scotland, everyone should have the opportunity to thrive. But right now people are struggling as we face increasing financial and environmental crises caused by our outdated economic model. We need to include the people of Scotland in the conversation about how we redesign our economy so that it delivers social justice on a healthy planet. We need a Wellbeing Economy."

The question isn’t IF climate change is making extreme weather worse—it’s how much. Science can put a number on how many more homes flood, how much more rain a hurricane dumps, how much larger wildfires grow--and how much worse it will get if we don't act now. More by @frediotto.bsky.social & I:

The problem is, our government won’t do it. Quite the opposite - Palantir were awarded a £330 million contract to create a data management system for the NHS. Yes, that’s right - the same company aiming to give the IDF a “tactical edge” are handling our data. It’s down to us to tackle them.
