#Google to tap into gas plant for #AIDatacenter in sharp turn from climate goals

#Texas power plant would emit 4.5m tons of carbon dioxide per year, more than that of the entire city of San Francisco

Dara Kerr, Thu 2 Apr 2026

"According to Crusoe’s 465-page permit application, the power plant would emit as much as 4.5m tons of carbon dioxide, a primary driver of climate change, per year. For comparison, the entire city of San Francisco emits about 4m tons of carbon dioxide annually."

Turns out I was wrong...
Climate IS safe to ignore.
Happy April Fool's!

Seems like only yesterday.
(Civilization, that is.)

Why we confronted #EricGujer `s NZZ:

As the fourth estate, the media bears the responsibility for reporting that holds the state and society to account. Democracy cannot function without independent, fact-based reporting.

Gujer’s newspaper has long since abandoned the foundations of fact-based discussion and media balance. It has thus become a danger to our country and our democracy. Without the #nzz people in this country would be better informed. But that’s not all.

Through its biased advocacy in favor of the #FossilFuelIndustry it is one of the main culprits behind #Switzerland ’s climate failure. It actively and deliberately supports the status quo and the #FossilFuels elites, thereby preventing any urgently needed #change to mitigate the life-threatening #ClimateCrisis .

Through its unscientific discourse of denial, trivialization, and diversion, the NZZ is an active #ClimateCriminal .

Don’t read NZZ if you want to be informed.

That's just "bad weather".
Won't be "changed climate" for years.
After we're extinct.

Compound interest.
Watch funds grow. Climate woes, too.
Lack of interest.

Ho hum.
Look what our leaders have done.

What are zettajoules – and what do they tell us about Earth’s energy imbalance?

When James Prescott Joule lent his name to a unit of energy, he could not have foreseen today’s alarming calculations

@AssociatedPress Australia had a Prime Minister who infamously said that he would like it if it was 2 or 3 degrees warmer. A notable climate denier. We can see all around us how wrong that view is.

What a grubby, self-serving, and deliberately divisive propagandist Barnaby Joyce is. His anti-#ClimateAction agenda ultimately serves short-term gain for a select few, at the expense of the most-of-us, future generations, and planetary #ecology.
Barnaby Joyce reminds of me of a used car salesman. He reassures the gullable, but ultimately sells lemons. Like all deceptive #populists he would have you believe that accelerating fossil-fuel use will deliver #EnergySecurity. It won't, #ClimateDenial aside. Joyce is a dangerous fool, cast in the same mould as that other orange-tinged dangerous fool. Seems, orange, means, as in nature - beware - toxic. #AusPol
Edit: No offence to any redheaded people or peoples intended.
