In the rush to build data centers, companies are starting to use their own off grid gas generators. This results in much higher emissions – 60% to 80% – compared with using their local electricity grid and risks locking in longer-term fossil dependence.
Billionaires destroying the life force of the planet and killing future of all young people alive today
Before Google’s arrival a few months ago, estimated quarter of a million trees occupied 815 acres of forest near town of Muhos in rural northern Finland.
Now they are all gone
NEW MEER PODCAST
Tom harris joins us to explore how the forests, soils and oceans we rely on to absorb carbon are beginning to release it instead, and what that shift means for our response to extreme heat.

LAND TEMPERATURE INCREASE, SEPTEMBER 2026 OVER 2°C
Berkeley Earth, September 2026 Temperature Update calculated land (only) temperature increase at 2.17°C.
It is clearly accelerating.

Your 'doom quote' for today:
"The human species will survive somehow but we will destroy almost everything we have built up over the last two thousand years. I am pretty sure."

Great piece by Tom Harris on cloud feedback
The world's cloud cover is reducing, which makes the planet hotter
This may be why Miocene Climatic Optimum temperatures were 7 - 8C up on pre-industrial for CO2 levels of just 400 - 600ppm
Very, very, scary

Cloud feedback of less Sulfur Aerosol is known, but that a warmer surface scatters clouds ☁️ over the Ocean 🌊 and land is little known - also the role of plants and plankton to make their own rain and shadow. Tried to make a graph with some prompting
Fixed it, @UNEP
We cannot return to lower temperatures with only emission reductions and carbon capture and storage
Anyone who claims that is grossly negligent.
Misrepresention of inconveniet truths in order to give people false hope is very dangerous.
climate scientists: "this may be why Miocene Climatic Optimum temperatures were 7 - 8°C up on pre-industrial for CO2 levels of just 400 - 600 ppm.. Very, very, scary"
@MarkCranfield_ The projected El Nino peak 2027 looks too low? Its a record breaking Super El Nino with only 0.2C increase? Compare to other Super El Ninos with 0.3C increases?
RECORDING THE DESTABILIZATION OF EARTH'S CLIMATE
2026 State of the Climate Report, Bill Ripple, Michael Mann, Johan Rockström et al. 2 sets of graphs. One: accelerating destabilization of the climate system and biosphere. The other: Human activities causing the destabilization that leads to biosphere. collapse.https://t.co/VLY6BFvXWS #environment #climatechange #globalwarming
„Der Markt regelt das.“ Die vielleicht größte Lebenslüge der deutschen Wohnungspolitik. Während private Immobilienkonzerne mit Wohnraum Rendite erwirtschaften, bauen die landeseigenen Wohnungsunternehmen in Berlin Zehntausende neue Wohnungen. Und trotzdem erzählen uns Union, Immobilienlobby und Teile der Medien seit Wochen, Vergesellschaftung würde den Wohnungsbau zerstören. Vielleicht sollten wir endlich aufhören, Wohnraum als Spekulationsobjekt zu behandeln. Wohnen ist ein Grundbedürfnis, kein Geschäftsmodell zur Gewinnmaximierung. Der Markt hatte Jahrzehnte Zeit. Das Ergebnis erleben Millionen Mieterinnen und Mieter jeden Monat auf ihrem Konto.
„Woher kommt die Wut?“, fragt das ZDF.
Ernsthaft? Jahrzehnte kaputtgesparte Schulen, Lehrermangel, unbezahlbare Mieten, explodierende Lebenshaltungskosten, prekäre Jobs, BAföG-Misere, fehlende Jugendclubs und eine Klimakrise, deren Folgen vor allem die Jüngeren tragen müssen. Eine Generation soll immer mehr leisten, immer länger arbeiten, kann sich immer weniger leisten und darf gleichzeitig die Krisen eines Systems ausbaden, von dem vor allem andere profitieren. Die eigentliche Frage ist nicht, woher die Wut kommt. Sondern wie weit sich der Journalismus von der Lebensrealität junger Menschen entfernt haben muss, um sich darüber noch zu wundern.

Senator Sheldon Whitehouse addressing an international security organization, warning of a fossil fuel axis of evil
Whitehouse calls out climate damage, and corrupt fossil fuel influence. 'The fossil fuel industry operates through front groups and funds the far right, as paid allies'.
Its pollute-for-free Fossil fuel business model is morally a sin, - now lethal to humankind. https://t.co/I6BGDtrdnA #climatechange #globalwarming
