Russian strikes killed over 80 Ukrainian civilians in two days. Moreover, it has stepped up its hybrid attacks against Europe, both EU Member States and NATO Allies. Suspending sanctions on Russian diesel provides Moscow with more revenues to wage war.

Not only is gas power (methane) contributing to climate change via CO2 combustion emissions and uncombusted methane releases, many of these data centers are using power generation equipment with even higher emissions than industry standard gas turbines – so it is even worse.

Bracken as it's supposed to be: just one innocuous woodland fern among many. The immense monocultures now so common are a product of centuries of acute overgrazing – usually by sheep – leading to forest disappearance. They're another example of extreme *human-caused* ecological imbalance.

We need to talk about the words we use. "Clearing ancient forests" is not "land management." "Destroying ecosystems" is not "economic development." It's the permanent erasure of a unique, irreplaceable life-support system. Let's call it what it is: #Ecocide.
