    The race to build orbital data centres, and why doubts are mounting (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Data centres, both existing and planned, are increasingly unwelcome to their human neighbours. They consume a disproportionate amount of energy and squander vast amounts of water and power to cool themselves. Furthermore, the reason they’re exploding in number — artificial intelligence — is at the same time loved and loathed, abused and feared. But don’t expect their expansion to be tamed any time soon — quite the contrary. As ‘hyperscalers’ — data centre behemoths such as Google, Microsoft or A

    How wildfires could push the climate crisis beyond repair (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Few things can be scarier than wildfires. Almost nothing, though, can be more frightening than a thunderstorm born from extraordinary heat. A pyrocumulonimbus cloud is a column of hot air, smoke and ash that behaves like the updraft of an ordinary thunderstorm but is far more concentrated and turbulent. If the updraft is strong enough, the cloud reaches high into the troposphere, sometimes extending into the stratosphere, ten or more kilometres up. Such violent convection generates lightning, wh

    As any Baby Boomer will tell you, with the car windows rolled down, a journey through the countryside was accompanied by the constant, rhythmic thwack of insects against the windscreen. Today, you can drive on a (much hotter) summer’s day and find your windscreen remarkably – and hauntingly – clear. For a long time, the so-called windscreen phenomenon was dismissed as anecdotal observation rather than scientific evidence. But the data – and the landscape – now support what many people have notic

    How PFAS are poisoning our world (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Long-lasting human bonds form the foundation of our social and familial fabric, as celebrated in wedding vows. However, they are also inherently fragile. Human history is dotted with conflicts and betrayals, somehow obscuring the fact that our millennia-long adventure has been fundamentally blessed by a non-zero-sum game of bonded cooperation – a civilisational trajectory famously mapped out in Robert Wright’s book Nonzero. We also happen to be here because of another type of bond – chemical bon
