Data centers are literally changing the environment around them.
A new study found they may be raising temperatures for miles around their facilities, harming plants, animals, and people alike.
We deserve answers before more of these projects are approved across our state.

I can vouch that the #'HeatIslandEffect' is alive and well in Auckland city.
Spent 3 days in Papakura & didn't sleep well because of the heat at night - even with the windows open.
My normal residence is nearly 2hrs further north in rural Matakana.
So looking forward to a good nights sleep tonight 😩

Are you sick of getting in your car in the blistering #sun and burning your bottom on the seat? If business/property owners were to install #solar over top of #parkinglots, it would do 3 things. Create a #passiveincome; reduce the #heatislandeffect from the asphalt in the lot; and SAVE YOUR BOTTOM!

Inside an urban heat island, one street can be much hotter than its neighbor – new tech makes it easier to target cooling projects
New technologies are making it easier to find these urban heat islets, opening the door to new strategies for efficiently improving community health.

It’s not just #HeatIslandEffect it is also urban #RainIslandEffect that will bring more catastrophes as we get 100yrs and 1000yrs storms in densely populated areas. Building more tall buildings is not the answer: youtu.be/RjoRttLlkW0 @lacity.bsky.social #unpaveLA #chip
Why Are Some Cities ATTRACTING Storms While Others REPEL Them?
