Big Tech is Big Trouble for climate. Check out my oped @desmog.com on the double whammy Big Tech is perpetrating: 1) a bonanza build-out of fossil gas to fuel AI data centers, 2) sale of AI to Big Oil to find more oil, faster. And these companies call themselves climate champs! #datacenters #AI

Climate change-fueled disasters threaten the safety of our homes & insurance provides a financial safety net to help us recover. But current insurance systems are failing, leaving households high (& not dry). What can the federal government do? I've got a proposal: peri.umass.edu/publication/...

Data centers are on track to produce nearly 400 million metric tons (one Australia's worth) of planet-heating pollution a year by 2030 — unless Big Tech invests in renewables instead of gas-fired power to fuel the AI juggernaut.

Do data centers impact our physical health? Studies are few and far between. • Kansas ReflectorThere research into physical health impacts related to data centers is still in its early stages, but seems comparable to other industries.kansasreflector.com
Climate.us is live. Built by members of the team behind Climate.gov, this new independent nonprofit website keeps trusted climate information easy to find, easy to use, and harder to erase. #ClimateForUs #ClimateUS
A…stunning campaign launch. "My dad got cancer & my mom's employer collapsed. The executives got paid & the workers got screwed. She didn't have the heart to tell us, even when the bank took the house…when she took her own life, the eviction notice was in her pocket." @ahlmanfornebraska.bsky.social
I spent Earth Day in Virginia’s Data Center Alley visiting one of the poster children for noise from data centers. Smack in the middle of a residential area, with no pathway to quiet. My latest for @heatmap.news explains how little we’re doing to stop one of the worst parts about data centers.
I Spent the Day At a Noisy Data Center. Here’s What I Learned.Noise ordinances won’t necessarily stop a multi-resonant whine from permeating the area.heatmap.news
Lawmakers who have taken 9.5 million in donations from Big Oil now have a bill to shield the industry from climate laws & lawsuits nationwide. Here's what the bill could do, including preventing states from regulating emissions at all. with @levernews.com www.exxonknews.org/p/this-new-b...

12 ships x $2 million per = $24 million dollars. A day. To Iran. The Strait was open -- and free -- until Feb 28th
The Wall Street JournalIran told mediators it would limit the number of ships crossing the Strait of Hormuz to around a dozen a day and charge tolls under the cease-fire struck by President Trump.
Summary (via a friend): They closed the strait again b/c war that isn’t a war that we already won has a ceasefire that isn’t a ceasefire that was just violated, now strait that’s completely open that will also open up naturally is closed but that’s fine we don’t need it also open the f---in strait
Aaron RuparQ: As of today, who controls the Strait of Hormuz? LEAVITT: We expect that the strait will be opened immediately Q: Who controls the strait right now? LEAVITT: *refuses to answer*
I Love It, We need to be off of big oil, and time for more renewables in the USA, wind, solar ... etc.
Chris MederThis is the moment the market gets it. Not climate. Not policy. Not ideology. Just pain at the pump. Once people switch… they don’t go back. As foretold—Used EV prices rising. ICE falling. More than just a trend— it’s the whole system flipping. #Bettrification
Trump's Iran debacle may not be your classic oil grab. But if the US wasn't awash in oil and gas, would it be happening?
Oil Change International1/ Nothing says “America First” better than decimating the global economy while boasting about turning a profit. 🧵👇 Read more from @lornestockman.bsky.social: oilchange.org/blogs/trumps...
Consider this: In a nation with a population approaching 349 million, the participation of 8 million people means that more than one of every 50 U.S. residents joined a No Kings rally. Stat seen on @usatoday.com
Why would Trump and his cronies erase the scientific proof that pollution poses a threat to human life? Because if they can kill the underlying science, they can kill the regulations for our cars, power plants, and air quality that 𝘭𝘪𝘮𝘪𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘧𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 of Big Polluters, Big Industry and Big Oil.
It’s been 31 days since Trump started his illegal war with Iran. Here’s what it’s costing Americans:
