Google plans to power a new data center with fossil fuels, yet release almost no emissions
As AI data centers spring up across the country, their energy demand and resulting greenhouse gas emissions are raising concerns. With servers and energy-intensive cooling systems constantly running, these buildings can use anywhere from a few megawatts of power for a small data center to more than 100 megawatts for a hyperscale data center. To put that in perspective, the average large natural gas power plant built in the U.S. generates less than 1,000 megawatts.

China announces new climate goal to cut emissions
Around 100 nations, responsible for about two-thirds of the world's emissions, gave plans or some kind of commitments to further curb fossil fuel emissions and fight climate change at the UN General Assembly on Wednesday.

Another big jump in atmospheric CO2, (still) measured at Mauna Loa: Based on daily values, the November average was ~426.5 ppm, that's around 2.7 ppm higher than last year!

Zero-Emissions Ferryboat to Glide Commuters Up and Down Historic River in European Capital
Lithuania’s capital Vilnius recently debuted a new electric ferryboat for transit up and down the River Neris. Called the Lašiša, it joins a trend of electric ferryboats on the famous rivers and bays of Europe such as the Elbe or the Copenhagen harbor. Tickets can be bought online and through an app for just €3, […]

Why I Changed Banks For The Planet
Banks are integral to our daily lives. We rely on them to receive our salaries, make transactions, pay bills, and secure loans or mortgages. However, behind each of these transactions lies a financial system that subtly influences not just our economy but also, albeit less obviously, our planet. The practices

Sustainable practices could cut food-related emissions in half
Food systems make up roughly 30% of total greenhouse gas emissions globally. But transforming them could cut these emissions by more than half, according to a report released Oct. 3 from a commission of global experts from more than 35 countries across six continents.

Global CO2 storage capacity may be drastically overstated, study finds
A new analysis suggests that the “prudent” storage available for carbon dioxide to head off further global warming is more limited than other recent estimates. Accounting for the risks associated with carbon capture and storage (CCS), the study found that stashing carbon underground in suitable locations would likely reduce warming by only about 0.7° Celsius […]

Air quality analysis reveals minimal changes after xAI data center opens in pollution-burdened Memphis
Even before an Elon Musk-owned artificial intelligence company opened a data center in southwest Memphis, Tennessee, air pollution was so bad that residents of a nearby neighborhood were far more likely to get cancer from industrial air pollution than average Americans. Our analysis found that air pollution got only slightly worse as a result of the data center.
