Microplastics in Amazon waterways are accumulating in fish gills, digestive tracts, and air-breathing organs. Beyond causing stress and weight loss in fish like the giant pirarucu, researchers warn of risks to local communities, where fish consumption is five times the national average.

Maybe this will finally get politicians to care about climate change: “The brutally hot summer is set to cost the EU economy €180 billion this year — that’s equivalent to roughly 1 percent of GDP, which is all the growth the bloc was expected to generate in 2026, according to new analysis.”

Excerpt describing a server in July 2015 in Vancouver who didn’t realize they were crying as ash and smoke from severe wildfires left their eyes and throat raw while taking orders, captioned with the essay title "Don't Say Climate Change" by Adrienne Buller.

Blurry orange wildfire background with large yellow overlay text stating summer fires across Canada burned nearly four million hectares and 2023 saw an unimaginable 17 million hectares, with a small credit to "Don't Say Climate Change" by Adrienne Buller.

Bold yellow headline reads "Less than six months later, the text of the Paris Agreement on climate change was agreed..." with a white subheading about the climate movement swelling to a fever pitch in 2019, set on a blurred orange background with a small credit to Adrienne Buller.

Our latest investigation started with a simple question: Are Louisiana's air monitors actually monitoring the state's biggest polluters? After analyzing state and EPA data, we found major gaps in what gets measured — and uncovered how industry fought efforts to improve the system.

Louisiana communities are left in the dark on toxic air — and industry helped keep it that way

The state’s air monitors are often miles from its biggest polluters and residents have little way of knowing what they’re breathing. That’s no accident.

How odd: the federal opposition, QLD gov't, the data centre lobby and a random corporate lobbyist all saying data centres shouldn't be subject to climate regulations, all within days. Must just be a coincidence :)

News headline warning energy red tape could stall an AI data‑centre boom, illustrated by a smartphone showing ChatGPT text beside a towering data‑centre building with a busy crowd in the foreground, symbolizing technology, infrastructure and public impact.

News article excerpt quoting Coalition housing spokesman Andrew Bragg saying the opposition would not block proposed laws to address the data centre boom’s impact on energy prices and water supplies.

Queensland’s green scheme pushback threatens data centre demand — article header above an aerial view of a riverside data centre with rooftop solar arrays, surrounding native trees and nearby apartment towers.

Opinion headline from the Financial Review: "Green energy mandate means data centres won’t be built," an editorial arguing net-generator rules could prevent data centre construction, showing the byline Patrick Gibbons and a small black-and-white author portrait.
