PennsylvanIA. Donald Trump a annoncé un immense plan d’investissements dans des data centers dédiés à l’intelligence artificielle. Des infrastructures gourmandes en électricité que les géants du numérique comptent alimenter grâce au nucléaire. À Three Mile Island, site nucléaire sinistré depuis un grave accident en 1979, les habitant·es sont revolté·es.

Climate change is causing unprecedented drying across the Earth — and five billion people could be affected by 2100, a new UN report has warned.

La réouverture prévue de la centrale nucléaire de Three Mile Island en Pennsylvanie représente la promesse d'emplois et d'une nouvelle source d'énergie pour ses partisans, mais une menace pour ses détracteurs, qui gardent le souvenir du grave accident de 1979. "Ca va profiter à de nombreuses collectivités, et même au pays tout entier", s'enthousiasme Robert Bair, président de la confédération syndicale de la construction en Pennsylvanie, longtemps partie de la fameuse région industrielle de la "Rust Belt" dans le nord-est des États-Unis.

Le groupe d'énergie américain Constellation a annoncé vendredi la relance d'une unité nucléaire à Three Mile Island en Pennsylvanie, où avait eu lieu le plus grave accident nucléaire de l'histoire des Etats-Unis, pour fournir en électricité des centres de données de Microsoft.

L'intelligence artificielle générative a besoin d'énergie pour alimenter les serveurs qui moulinent les modèles IA. De beaucoup d'énergie. Et pourquoi pas celle fournie par… une centrale nucléaire ? Microsoft va relancer celle basée à Three Mile Island, en Pennsylvanie, tristement connue pour son accident nucléaire en 1979.

Arctic Sea ice reaches it's minimum extent each year around the middle of September. This year is one of the lowest in recorded history. Ocean temperatures have been so 'off the charts' in 2023 and 2024 that scientists fear those waters have reached their capacity to mop up after us humans and are now starting to release that energy. On our current trajectory, by 2100, our planet will reach a temperature not seen for 3 MILLION years!. So...what's the plan???

Bonn and Geneva, 6 September 2023 (ECMWF and WMO) - Earth just had its hottest three months on record, according to the European Union-funded Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) implemented by ECMWF. Global sea surface temperatures are at unprecedented highs for the third consecutive month and Antarctic sea ice extent remains at a record low for the time of year.

Knowing how to appeal to apocalyptic fear, political fear, and private fear will help a leader name reality in a credible manner and assess which fear to prioritize at a given time.

Negotiators hope to put humanity on a path to harmonious coexistence with nature by 2050.

Scientists warn world ‘is heading in wrong direction’ amid rise in nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide and methane.Atmospheric levels of all three greenhouse gases have reached record highs, according to a study by the World Meteorological Organization, which scientists say means the world is “heading in the wrong direction”.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), made up of the world’s leading climate scientists, has now published all three sections of its landmark comprehensive review of climate science.

A new study has revealed the top five countries that would survive the collapse of global civilisation. New Zealand (already home to a wealth of billionaire preppers) takes the top spot, with the other five entrants being Iceland, Ireland, Australia and the UK.

The lifestyles of around three average Americans will create enough planet-heating emissions to kill one person, and the emissions from a single coal-fired power plant are likely to result in more than 900 deaths, according to the first analysis to calculate the mortal cost of carbon emissions.
