AI data centre to match carbon footprint of BA flights Planning documents for a £10 billion project in Lincolnshire reveal its annual emissions will reach one million tonnes of carbon dioxide new Adam Vaughan, Environment Editor Monday March 09 2026, 6.40pm GMT, The Times Illustration of a British Airways airplane flying above server racks, against a teal background with a large yellow circle. The Elsham Tech Park’s emissions would be similar to a year of British Airways short-haul flights within the UK and to European destinations A single AI data centre would generate annual carbon emissions on a par with a year of British Airways short-haul flights, figures show. Planning documents show that Elsham Tech Park project on a former RAF base near Scunthorpe, Lincolnshire, would emit about a million tonnes of carbon dioxide a year. That would put the scheme, billed as helping companies to “improve the way they use artificial intelligence”, on a level with BA flights within the UK and from Britain to Europe. It would also be similar to a major cement works in Derbyshire and a gas-fired power station in Bedfordshire. The UK emits about 364 million tonnes of carbon dioxide a year. The figures were published by North Lincolnshire council. A surge in plans for data centres has led MPs to call for a national conversation about their environmental impact. The Times revealed that about 140 data centres have asked regulators for a connection to the national electricity grid. If all were built, they would require more electricity capacity (50 gigawatts) than Britain’s peak demand on a February day (45GW). The new 1GW data centre in Lincolnshire, where developers hope construction will start next year, would reach peak annual emissions of 1,004,478 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent by 2033. The emissions are those from the electricity needed to operate the facility. Illustration of the proposed data centre near the Elsham Wolds Industrial Estate. The project is on a former RAF …

Another fossil-fuelled data centre emissions estimate (via @adamvaughan.bsky.social) -> UK project will see 1 MTCO2-e, about the same as all British Airways flights in the country

​​Native Students Receive Excessive Discipline in This New Mexico School District, Report Finds The Navajo Nation report echoes a 2022 investigation by New Mexico In Depth and ProPublica that found Indigenous students were punished more harshly than other students in the state’s Gallup-McKinley ...

The Navajo Nation commission's report detailed harsh discipline, language barriers, discriminatory hiring practices and more.

This is great. And it’s hilarious how Kennedy mispronounces “Bluesky” right at the top.

McDonald and key members of the DOGE team bypassed authorized record preservation requirements and violated the Federal Records Act by conducting official government business regarding the cuts using Signal, a messaging application unauthorized for federal employees, and intentionally set to automatically delete messages. DOGE fed grant descriptions into OpenAI’s ChatGPT generative artificial intelligence chatbot, asking it to decide if grants were “DEI.” They then entered ChatGPT’s responses into a spreadsheet compiling all NEH grants, including its “DEI rationale” and “Yes / No DEI?” replies. This ChatGPT-generated list was used in place of the list created by NEH staffers to identify which grants to cut. Projects Grants that were flagged as “DEI” and then terminated included a documentary sharing the story of Jewish women’s slave labor during the Holocaust; an archival project on the lives of Italian Americans; a project to digitize photograph collections of Appalachian residents; and multiple projects to preserve endangered Native American languages and cultures. DOGE staffers violated the Federal Equal Protection Clause of the 5th Amendment by flagging grant descriptions as “DEI” solely because they included “BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color),” “homosexual,” “LGBTQ,” and “Tribal,” among other terms. DOGE staffers also flagged grants that NEH leaders concede had no connection to DEI, including grants that had been awarded for collections management after a natural disaster, preservation training, and improving HVAC systems. After the termination of previously awarded grants, Michael McDonald asked an NEH staff member to solicit the Tikvah Fund’s application for a single-source award; the NEH ultimately granted it $10 million.

“The principle that knowledge of history, literature, religion, philosophy, and the arts is necessary to sustain a strong and resilient nation drove Congress to establish the NEH,” said ACLS President Joy Connolly. “Our lawsuit reveals this administration’s contempt for that principle and for public investment in research for the common good. DOGE employees’ use of ChatGPT to identify ‘wasteful’ grants is perhaps the biggest advertisement for the need for humanities education, which builds skills in critical thinking.”

Early signs of historic March heatwave for the Southwestern U.S.? (Not what we need...) - YouTube The latest in a recurring series of live, virtual, & interactive #weather and #climate-focused "office hours" hosted by Dr. Daniel Swain. 3/9/2026 topic: I'l...

Join me for a live virtual office hour on Tue Mar 10 at 3pm PT to discuss potential for a genuinely extreme, and potentially even historic, March heatwave in American Southwest (including CA) later this month. I'll talk dynamics, impacts & implications.

Just so people on bluesky are aware…I was very early bluesky and I very much actively followed every dog account I could find that signed up and now when I open bluesky I basically am given pure dog content straight to the brain stream every time. I am proposing everyone else do this. The end.

Florida Has Deemed All Existing Intro to Sociology Textbooks Illegal and Produced Its Own The Board of Governors overseeing the new curricula includes roofing contractors, insurance execs, and no professors.

"At this point, not only are professors being told what they cannot teach; they are also being told what they must teach."

"We are being openly threatened if we do not teach what amounts to a state producing its own propaganda."

Excursion... something you do with another person as a relaxing way to get to know each other...a walk along the coast, or a drive to the wine country... it's not a freaking aerial bombardment of another country and killing 164 school girls.

This is fine

ICE Poses a Real Threat to Our Elections DHS has built a national police force with massive surveillance capabilities — which it could use to interfere with our elections.

DHS "is quickly metastasizing into a grave threat to the midterms, public safety, and our democracy."

Civilians have had apparent seizures. One had his eyes roll back. Another had ribs broken.

“I felt like I was going to pass out and die,” said a 16-year-old citizen put in a chokehold.

The government won’t say if any agents have been punished.

“These shields are both practical and symbolic in asserting the power and importance of culture, while protecting protesters from the police…

Here are step by step instructions on how to make your own shield”

"[Cook County State's Attorney] O’Neill Burke rebuked the call for a special prosecutor...

'Yet there has been no federal or state investigation or prosecution of any [of] the individuals who perpetrated these offenses,” the firm said."

This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.

Let’s get one thing straight: We are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian.

Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.

In contrast to the coverup of the EPSTEIN crimes here in America, there are ongoing investigations in the UK, France, Turkey, Poland, Latvia & Lithuania that is sure to expose his central, filthy role in the largest crimes against humanity case in world history. #AccountabilityIsComing

Imagine the reaction in the US if ~175 schoolgirls had been killed by a targeted Iranian missile. (Or anyone's missile.)

This is an atrocity.

Zero in on Stephen Miller as a supervillain Democrats should make Trump’s unlikable adviser the face of the GOP

"Will Democrats make the obnoxious and unlikable Stephen Miller a key target in their midterms messaging? Will they run against Miller’s extremism and in solidarity with the vital contributions of immigrants?"

Newspaper Confirms Some Details in Trump Accuser’s Epstein-Related Story to FBI The Post-Courier was able to verify key dates a woman accusing Trump of sexual assault provided to FBI agents in 2019.

The unnamed woman alleges that Epstein introduced her to Trump in the 1980s, around the time she was 13 to 15 years old. During that meeting, the woman says, Trump attempted to force her to perform oral sex, after which she bit him, resulting in Trump hitting her.

Map snapshot depicting the predicted relative anomalousness of surface temperatures from the ECMWF ensemble over the Western U.S. in about a week from now. A a huge region of bright orange and red colors (depicting extremely high warm temperature anomalies) is centered right in the middle of the map, and covers essentially the entire region.

Lots of buzz online about an upcoming major March heatwave for the American SW & California. And in this case, it does indeed appear increasingly likely than an extremely anomalous and even record-breaking heatwave may envelop much of the SW about a week from now.

Plaintiffs' asserted material harms are speculative and self-inflicted. Plaintiffs can readily comply with the driver's license requirement; there is a driver's license office in Lawrence to which Plaintiffs can travel using free public transit. 10 Lawrence Transit Route 6 goes to the driver's license office. 11 And, of course, Plaintiffs can also get to the office via a rideshare service or through a ride from a friend, relative, or co-worker. Other Kansans can likewise rely on alternative methods of transportation to reach a driver's license office and obtain a new, compliant license. The Department of Revenue has represented to the State that it is prioritizing affected individuals, and public reporting backs up the ease with which it is to obtain a new valid license. 12 And if Plaintiffs ultimately prevail, then they can always get a new license that reflects their gender identity.
