I swear only a few years ago I was hearing all about countries trying to reduce their carbon emissions, and it was great and positive and we were all moving to LED light bulbs due to the lower wattage, and now all I hear is “okay let’s build more data centres and use ALL the energy”. What happened, how do I get the greener outlook back 😅

University College London: UCL develops first-ever National Buildings Database to accelerate UK net-zero transition. “Covering all buildings in England, Wales and Scotland, the database will allow DESNZ to carry out research into energy use and carbon emissions, inform government strategy and policy on improving energy efficiency, increasing energy security and reducing energy bills.”

"The world’s largest banks committed $906bn in financing to the fossil fuel industry last year, an “unfathomable” increase in investment locking in years more of coal, oil and gas production as the world continues to overheat, a new report has found.

The surge in new fossil fuel lending, up $64bn or nearly 8% on 2024, shows that the world’s largest 65 banks are making decisions incompatible with international agreements to restrain rising global temperatures, according to the coalition of environmental groups behind the new analysis.

JPMorgan Chase is again the world’s leading financier of fossil fuels, according to the annual Banking on Climate Chaos report, after pushing $58bn to the sector last year – up 13% from 2024.

Bank of America committed the second largest amount to fossil fuels last year, followed by Japanese banks MUFG and Mizuho Financial. Citigroup, another US bank, rounds out the top five, with Barclays, at number eight, the highest placed British bank."
