The UK now hosts more than 500 active data centres (the third largest in the world). They have been rammed through despite huge local community concerns about the impact on their local landscapes and energy and water consumption.
These enormous data centres are giant industrial facilities consuming vast quantities of electricity, water and land while placing increasing pressure on the UK’s energy infrastructure.
▪️Water consumption by data centres is expected to reach 9.3 trillion litres, while CO2 emissions will rise to 399 million tons.
▪️Annual power consumption from data centres is projected to double to 945 TWh by 2030, around the same as the whole of Japan’s energy consumption, with AI accounting for 40% of the total.
▪️The rise of AI is accelerating this trend. The UK Government's Compute Roadmap notes that AI data centres can devote up to 40% of their energy consumption to cooling systems.
▪️It is estimated that data-centre power and water consumption could double by 2030 due to AI growth.
▪️Emerging research suggests large AI facilities can create localised warming effects around their sites, sometimes described as a “data heat island” effect.
Numerous campaigns against these data centres are being organised by local communities. No one voted for this. If you are involved in any of these local campaigns, please DM me and I’ll try and help you amplify your campaigns.
@biddle_leo@TheDanCounter You're throwing mud hoping some will stick. Either elaborate or you've shown yourself up. Anyone that wears purple must be a masonic actor? Mugs!
@OffGuardian0 Just what has been the content shift? I've noticed nothing. Hardly any mention of China, other than the one trip. Debi Evans input had become sterile & repetitive. Journalism is a squalid. People come & go. There's little substance to your smear. The IDF hack is a coincidence?
A reminder that the FSA supported the BLM activism that forced England players to protest at the death of an American career criminal. Yet they will be silent over the awful death of Henry Nowak in Police custody @WeAreFreeLions wankers
For almost 25 years, we've been providing England fans with on-the-ground support and info through our Fans’ Embassy service - so we're no strangers to the controversies surrounding the Three Lions’ support - and here's our thoughts on booing the knee: https://t.co/pZl6TpuGsU
Aspiring barrister, 20, was treated 'like a time-waster' in hospital by doctors who sent her home before she died in agony, inquest hears
Libby Instone, a 20-year-old aspiring barrister and Newcastle University law student, died in agony after being repeatedly dismissed as a “time-waster” by staff at North Tees University Hospital.
She visited the urgent care centre three times in just over 24 hours in August 2023 with severe vomiting and abdominal pain, only to be misdiagnosed with gastroenteritis and sent home twice without proper examination or scans.
On her final visit she waited nine hours in A&E, was given a drip and painkillers, then admitted, but it was too late. She collapsed at home the next day and could not be saved.
An inquest in Middlesbrough ruled her death was contributed to by neglect and “gross failures in care”, with multiple missed opportunities to spot a blocked small intestine that a simple scan and operation could have fixed.
Her devastated mother Susan said: “Libby was treated as an annoyance, a time-waster and was never shown any compassion.”
The coroner recorded a narrative conclusion highlighting the failure to investigate persistent symptoms despite four days of black vomit and extreme pain.
@MattersInformed "His father wore purple- a sign of masonic.... " laughable bollox from clickbait, attention seeking paranoia. The reaction may be controlled, but the event wasn't. I remember when there was light media coverage of the murder last year. You're here to disrupt just TR. FO!
@IcedReality It's deliberate. He and other State controlled activitists are sent into to hijack genuine grievance, allow the left/MSM/politicians to smear the protests, preventing any change. The agenda continues
