“The Washington Post’s decision to cut a large share of its climate and environmental reporters is not just a newsroom story…

cuts to environmental journalism thin the information infrastructure societies rely on to recognize risks and respond before harm becomes harder to reverse.”

Deep Sea Mining:

Interesting interview with the UN official trying to agree some basic environmental rules for half the ocean floor.

She basically says a moratorium won’t happen as too many countries (like the USA) will go ahead anyway. What a species we are.

40% of #bees and #pollinator species endangered worldwide

25% of bee species no longer showing up on field records across the #planet

76% decrease by mass in flying #insects in Germany ON NATURE RESERVES over a 26 year period

Bee populations decreasing by 5% each year

All caused by humans.
Primarily due to what we choose to eat and how we choose to produce it.

The rapid increase in data centers in Malaysia has drawn its first public protest over pollution and water in the Southeast Asian country. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/02/08/tech/malaysia-data-center-protest/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #tech #malaysia #datacenters #pollution #water #ai #tech #environment

Each data center can “drink” as much as an entire community. Yet #Texas does not require data center operators to disclose projected #water use or report actual consumption. This makes research difficult and limits visibility for water-stressed municipalities. https://www.texasobserver.org/texas-ai-data-centers-water-usage-regulation/
