Ah but we need AI data centres to solve the climate problem - they say. The ultimate paradox. We must f*ck the planet even more in order to stop f*cking the planet. Madness.

🚨 Destructive bottom trawling is allowed in most of the UK's marine protected areas - places that are meant to be sanctuaries for wildlife. That's why I'm standing with @oceanauk.bsky.social in calling on government to ban bottom trawling in UK MPAs 🌊 Join me! act.oceana.org/page/195311/...
