A massive new gas plant in Texas will be built with much less efficient technology than regular gas plants. It’s far from the only data center power project to rely on dirty turbines.
Justin Pearson…won a Democratic congressional primary after boldly staking positions on some of America’s most contentious fault lines: voting rights, datacenters and the American war machine…
At another point, another undercover informant designated “9833” attended a Jan. 31 meeting at the Minneapolis Public Library, held by the Sunrise Movement, a climate activism group.
How 3.6 degrees of warm water in the tropical Pacific is about to redraw the map of global hunger and why, this time, no one in power can claim they were not warned.

A benchmark US report on the fast-changing state of the Arctic has been canceled. The nation’s top research body has removed a chapter on global warming from a reference manual for judges.
With temperatures set to soar as high as 109 degrees Fahrenheit (43 Celsius) this week, Europeans and tourists say that summer in Europe has lost its appeal.
OpenAI, Anthropic and SpaceX have revealed little about their greenhouse gas emissions or sustainability plans. There was a time when that would have been unacceptable to many investors.
Last month’s average global ocean surface temperature was the hottest ever recorded in the month of July, fueled in part by uniquely intense, fossil fuel-driven El Niño conditions that have ++wreaked deadly havoc around++ the world this summer…
The scale of devastation from a historic fire season of wildfire in the Pacific north-west has come into sharper focus as firefighters wrangle a trio of blazes that consumed at least 846 structures on the eastern side of the state…
The traditional ways of cultivating the peppers may not survive the challenges of climate change and soaring costs, so Pakistani farmers are trying to adapt.
In particular, plants built when East Sea waters were colder have lower equipment limit settings, making them more vulnerable to rising seawater temperatures. Experts said this variable was not considered when building nuclear plants, so there are virtually no countermeasures against rising seawater temperatures.
cumulative emissions from individual actors have increased the probability of extreme heat and rainfall globally; for example, emissions from the United States have increased the risk of recent extreme heat by at least 50% for one-third of the globe
‘Forest management alone cannot address the hotter, drier conditions that are making fires more intense … — that requires confronting the underlying crisis.’
The tech giant is investing in the [methane]-gas-burning power plant as part of a huge data center in Texas, even as it pledges to honor climate commitments.
Far more than the flames that have engulfed southern Europe and North America in recent weeks, it is the smoke that dominates the astonishing death toll from combusting nature. Thick with toxic gases that inflame the airways and tiny particulates that breach the lungs and ride the bloodstream to hit every organ in the body, fumes from landscape fires kill 1.5 million people each year, a study in the Lancet found in 2024 – more than floods, flames, storms and heat combined.
In Germany, climate activists demanding an end to the use of fossil fuels demonstrated outside the chancellery against the lack of government action to keep people safe from extreme heat. An estimated 11,900 people across the country have died from heat this summer, according to new estimates from the Robert Koch Institute
China’s national meteorological and health authorities have issued coordinated nationwide heat health alerts because of the unusually warm and humid summer which has resulted in extreme temperatures in the country with some parts expected to reach above 40°C in the coming days.
