Most know that as rising global temperatures melt the permafrost, it releases stored carbon into the atmosphere, enhancing warming. Scientists may have underestimated just how bad the situation may be, a new analysis finds.
Art Berman says that the world is drifting toward the largest commodity shock since COVID. Oil futures are underpriced; physical scarcity is increasing much faster than futures prices suggest.

Every internet search, streamed video and AI-generated meme depends on a data center somewhere. Data centers are physical buildings in real communities with real effects. Each has real-world impacts on air quality, water quality, noise levels, land use and energy costs.
Almost 30 years ago a farming family deeded land to the City of Taylor, Texas, on condition the city use it for a public park. Taylor sold it to a data center developer, for $10 million in 2025. Now the land that was supposed to belong to the community will become a 135,000 square foot data center.

In 1999, a farmer gave away 87 acres of land to a small Texas city to use as a park. The city sold to a data center developer for $10 million.
Amid its water crisis, the city declined to supply public records on the Bitcoin mine's usage, citing a state law that allows nondisclosure of an individual customer’s account.
