Greenpeace Africa is petitioning the African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights to rule that climate harm is a rights violation

"Such a historic ruling would send a definitive message to corporate exploiters and polluters that their time for operating with impunity on the African continent is OVER"

The ultimate neoliberal “dreamworld” – on desert sand without water
Expat influencers sold Dubai to the world and were paid to look the other way. Now the dream is crumbling

* "The Dubai project requires demanding visitors and expats to not think too much about the suffering or question what goes on beyond the city’s borders. And how that city came to be built in the first place."

"The whole social contract of Dubai involves a wilful blindness to the proximity of suffering and violence. After all, Gaza is geographically close." >>

Scientists have found an alarming environmental impact of vast data centers

The vast data centers that power artificial intelligence are so energy hungry that they’re heating up their surroundings, according to new research. It’s an alarming finding given the number of data centers is predicted to explode over the next few years.

Zelensky says allies asked him to scale back attacks on Russian energy

Ukraine's president says partners asked if the attacks could be "reduced" as prices soar due to the Iran war.

'Some responses to the fossil fuel crisis – incredibly – argue for doubling-down on the cause of the problem and slowing the shift to renewable energy. Even though it is clearly cheaper, safer, and faster to market.

'This is completely delusional.'
