A pretty big win for anti-data centre activists in Melbourne: protests over huge new power lines for Nextdc’s M3 project forced Jemena to pause works in Sept. Nextdc says that delayed power to the site. Today it cut FY27 earnings guidance by about a third and halted new projects and land buys.

archive.li/cNjIt #ai #technology #climatechange #australia ‘Cooked’: This $1.1b data centre mirrors Melbourne’s much wider conflict

De- electrification #energy Indiscriminate AI & data generation & storage, and fk planetary boundaries #environment #climatechange A curse on tech bros, their fossil fuel friends, our oblivious rapacious governments #ai #tech #technology www.wired.com/story/us-dat... archive.li/4fsUg

This is actually the first major de-electrification we're seeing in the mid-transition era and I cannot fucking believe my eyes in seeing the core advocates of electrification celebrating and welcoming and encouraging it www.wired.com/story/us-dat...

Trying to contain myself this week but "the electrification of information" has sent me INFORMATION WAS ALREADY ELECTRIC. GenAI is taking existing info, making it wrong + 1,000,000x more energy intensive and then BUILDING HUMANITY'S BIGGEST GAS PLANTS that is the OPPOSITE OF ELECTRIFICATION

Bullying…for the money & political manipulation that the algorithm creates. #technology #tech #ai #politics #usa #australia www.theguardian.com/media/2026/s...

I think if you're concerned about planetary boundaries you might consider not doing partnerships with the tech companies that are helping to breach those boundaries - partnerships that very explicitly and directly serve to distract and greenwash from the harms being caused by those companies

apple.news/APDA8ObmgRoy... If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it’s a fucking duck! Doesn’t matter how many times you deny it!

“green-hushing” 🤐 a general reticence to talk about global heating #climatechange “While there is little time to reverse this parlous situation, humanity does still possess the knowledge & capacity to do so” This is no time for silence. Or distraction. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Although, of course ai tech is contributing to destruction by climate & environment via its extreme energy usage, enabling the fossil fuel industry to continue raking in the moolah while spewing emissions 💰 #ai #technology #energy #environment

Maybe there's still a lack of awareness, but it's baffling that there're people out there still prepared to serve/eat industrially-farmed, antibiotic-loaded, potentially diseased Tasmanian Salmon with a side of exploded seal (do Huon, Tassal & Petuna leadership eat it with their families❓)

Apparently threat of extinction by computer is more scary than threat of extinction by destroyed climate & environment (air water food). Go figure. #ai #tech #politics #australia www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Watch this 👀

When society knowingly puts people in a "position that they inevitably meet a too early and an unnatural death…when it deprives thousands of the necessaries of life… knows that these thousands of victims must perish, and yet permits these conditions to remain"—it's social murder

While we all frantically tried to frame every single piece of climate advocacy as if it's there to reduce power bills, on the grounds of centrist hand-wringing that we're not meant to mention human safety and life and health because it's just not what ppl care about (which is wrong)

Fri 18 Sep For SHAME‼️ Since 2020, Australia's subsidies for fossil fuels have totalled nearly 6 times the amount of aid given to Pacific neighbours - Minister Talia, Tuvalu There is no version of reduced emissions while extraction [of oil, coal & gas] continues - Minister Regenvanu, Vanuatu

It is obvious that politicians of our political duopoly no longer even pretend to listen to the electorate. This will only be stopped by voting all the involved parties out of power. Vote Independent or Green.

It's not often you see a petition with more than one million supporters humanstatement.org #ai #technology #tech #humanrights

HEY EVERYONE - NEW REPORT!!! NVIDIA is the largest company by market cap on the planet. But it hides key climate data, while claiming AI is going to be a 'net benefit' for climate. We (8 groups) put together the first ever broad critique of NVIDIA's climate record: ketanjoshi.co/2026/09/16/n...

They stole/steal all available content regardless. But there must be a legal loophole that people are using to fight back. I’m hoping the bullying tactics have lost weight. I mean, now that Trump has splattered tariffs indiscriminately anyway, the threat is meaningless. #ai #technology #usa

my head is exploding 🤯 1. #usa have weapons in space 2. #labor #auspol is facing pressure from big tech to make it legal for “AI companies to get unrestricted access to everything Australians create online by default” #ai #technology #australia fk them www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

"[One study] covered one billion offset credits...and found that less than 16% would be verifiably real." "So 85% of offset credits don't pass the first hurdle. They're not real." - University of Melbourne Senior Research Fellow Dr Kate Dooley at today's #ClimateIntegrity Summit 2026

do it do it do it 💪 #australia #auspol proposal: – let people switch off the algorithm that decides what they see & instead let them decide themselves #tech #politics pushback immediate❗️cos the algorithm is worth $$$billions+effective tool for political manipulation act.getup.org.au/act/take-bac...

"If we had started this transition 40 years ago, maybe there was room for these delaying, slower tactics to reduce emissions." "Carbon offsets should be the last option." The Hon Senator Rosa Galvez at today's #ClimateIntegrity Summit 2026 @senrosagalvez.bsky.social

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

www.theguardian.com/environment/... #climatechange #climate #capitalism #justice It’s not ‘the world’. It’s obscenely wealthy people & corporations working to lock in obscene inequality.

great speech by Cory Doctorow: “Repeal worldwide laws against reverse engineering & modification” that prevent tech independence & improvements in other countries (the #usa threatened countries with tariffs if they didn’t enact them) #ai #technology #usa #enshittification youtu.be/azJia30ulng

Offset shills: "a strong ACCU market w increasing prices over time [..] Investors & landholders need confidence there will be demand in the future" But "The only reason a country needs to create more ‘carbon offsets’ is because it expects to fail to decarbonise." (👀@louisemorris.bsky.social 👇)
