Big Oil is selling the promise of “low-carbon data centers” using carbon capture, reports @emdashsanders.bsky.social.

But these plans could "easily transform into a sprawling build-out of high-polluting methane gas infrastructure" with lasting impacts to "the climate and communities nearby."

The oil giant claims it can eliminate more than 90 percent of emissions from gas-powered AI facilities. Critics say that’s nonsense.

I did this interview at Yonge & St Clair, the reporter hoping he'd catch a gig worker bombing down the sidewalk. Instead a pickup truck was parked in the bike lane behind us, and for the entire conversation rider after rider was forced into traffic.

Commuting by bicycle in Belgium pays off as employees earn compensation for every km they ride. 1 in 6 employees commute by bike and get a bicycle allowance of €0.28/km. People cycling to work in 2024 earned an average of around €460 net per year (some as high as €810), up 20% over the past year.
Belgian commutes pay off: Employees earn up to €810 for cycling to work
One in five people in Flanders commuted by bike and received compensation last year, but this figure is significantly lower in Brussels and Wallonia.

Turns out climate change keeps happening even when we decide we don't want to talk about it anymore

www.theguardian.com/world/2025/d...
The Arctic endured a year of record heat and shrunken sea ice as the world’s northern latitudes continue a rapid shift to becoming rainier and less ice-bound due to the climate crisis, scientists have reported. From October 2024 to September 2025, temperatures across the entire Arctic region were the hottest in 125 years of modern record keeping, the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Noaa) said, with the last 10 years being the 10 warmest on record in the Arctic. The Arctic is heating up as much as four times as quickly as the global average, due to the burning of fossil fuels, and this extra heat is warping the world’s refrigerator – a region that acts as a key climate regulator for the rest of the planet. Changes to polar bear DNA could help them adapt to global heating, study finds Read more The maximum extent of sea ice in 2025 was the lowest in the 47-year satellite record, Noaa reported on in its annual Arctic report card. This is the latest landmark in a longer trend, with the region’s oldest, thickest ice declining by more than 95% since the 1980s as the Arctic becomes hotter and rainier.

Russia didn’t just invade Ukraine. It took control of hundreds of thousands of Ukraine children, forcing Russian language & propaganda onto them.

In a joint Texty.org.ua @nzz.ch investigation, we follow one boy's story to show how Russia erases identities through pressure, paperwork & silence.
