"Mr van Hattum said contrary to the common belief data centres required large amounts of water for cooling, the facility would use a closed-loop system recirculating the same water.'

Someone hasnt watched the recent council meeting video in America about how closed loop isn't closed. Me thinks Fisrt Nation people are being played again.

Diatoms, which are crucial large silica-rich algae, act as a primary energy source for Antarctic krill, essential food for larger predators such as seals, penguins, and whales. The sea ice plays a crucial role by providing a nursery and shelter for these algal communities, and its disappearance disrupts the microhabitat conditions necessary for efficiently transferring nutrients through the food web of the Southern Ocean

A strong El Nino can bring either droughts or torrential rains and flooding, both of which may force hydropower stations to reduce their output or shut down entirely increasing the need for other power sources, including oil and gas.

El Nino could hit hydropower-dependent regions hard, pushing them to burn more fossil fuels for electricity instead. That would raise both carbon emissions and the cost of imported energy

French mathematician Joseph Fourier described what we now call the greenhouse effect way back in 1824. Seventy-two years later, Swedish scientist Svante Arrhenius developed the first model showing how carbon dioxide influences climate. Scientific findings about the climate are nothing new, but they are becoming more dire. That doesnt mean its too late to act. Read more from :

"Neil Blake weighs a paper bag of fake grass fragments he has collected from a stormwater gutter near in s north.

"Over the past three years Blake has conducted 56 collections of synthetic turf in the waterway alongside the KP Hardiman Reserve hockey pitch.

" 'I noticed that a local hockey pitch was being replaced and the plastic surface was running off into the local environment,' he says. Strong northerly winds and had helped shed the turf fragments into the local .

"In addition to impacts on , scientific analysis suggests is exacerbating , loss and .

"Australians produce more than 3m tonnes of plastic waste each year, and according to Clean Ups annual survey of parks, beaches, creeks and other public spaces, plastics make up more than 80% of litter across the country. A review by the New South Wales chief scientist found that one field could transport between 10kg and 100kg of plastic fragments into the system or local waterways.

"Blake has taken advantage of the electronic scales provided by the newly opened community science laboratory in the Port Phillip in , to quantify his samples to present to the local council and the Environment Protection Authority. The lab hosts facilities including microscopes, measuring equipment, safety gear and access to advice from trained scientists.

"Its one example of citizen scientists tackling the growing problem of plastics in , including , and dive sites around the country."

Meta-note: the model itself could be improved (and address some criticisms) by updating with fresh insights such as this.

"By integrating a state-dependent feedback mechanism calibrated to CMIP6 Earth System Models into a coupled DICE-FaIR framework, we reveal three key findings. First, dynamic feedback produces a consistent warming amplification of 0.2 C across policy scenarios, demonstrating that conventional IAMs physically underestimate future warming trajectories. Second, this physical bias cascades into economic metrics, elevating the Social Cost of Carbon by up to 50% across diverse structural specifications, indicating a systematic limitation rather than a parameter-specific outcome. Third, we identify a policy space compression effect: dynamic feedback simultaneously amplifies the tail risks of exceeding critical temperature thresholds while narrowing the feasible window for net-zero emissions. This physically driven compression is systematically obscured by fixed-feedback assumptions, which overstate the available policy space and understate the urgency of accelerating mitigation timelines. These findings demonstrate that neglecting the temperature-dependent weakening of climate feedback creates a biased foundation for risk assessment, with current resilience strategies potentially calibrated to overly optimistic baselines that inadequately account for the evolving dynamics of the Earth system."
