Carbon dioxide emissions from ice-free ground in one area of Antarctica have grown fivefold in just five years, suggesting there may be a significant source of emissions we haven’t accounted for

Council Chair Jana Swearingen Washington said MLGW presented a five‑year energy distribution master plan and addressed constituent complaints about unusually large utility bills, which the utility attributed to the exceptionally hot September 2026 weather.

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) has confirmed the presence of a very strong El Niño event in the tropical Pacific, with significant implications for the country's climate patterns. According to PAGASA Climate Monitoring and Prediction Section Chief Ana Liza Solis, speaking during a House Committee on Agriculture and Food hearing, this phenomenon is expected to persist until the first quarter of 2027, peaking before year-end 2026. The agency predicts that temperatures across the Philippines will rise by approximately 2°C during this period. PAGASA's climate outlook indicates prolonged dry spells leading to drought conditions nationwide, alongside warmer surface temperatures. While tropical cyclones and heavy rainfall may still occur, the overall trend points toward extreme heat. The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) reports that 356,800 Filipinos have already been affected by El Niño in October alone. A September 2027 report from the US-based Climate Impact Lab estimates that half a million people globally face risks of heat-related deaths due to this phenomenon. In the Philippines specifically, there could be around 6,500 heat-related fatalities before February 2027. The Department of Agriculture has also reported agricultural damages exceeding PHP 8.57 billion in October as a result of El Niño conditions. Government agencies are preparing mitigation measures including water structures and rainwater harvesting systems to address the anticipated impacts. PAGASA's assessment is based on pre-assessment from global prediction centers, indicating this El Niño event may set records for heat intensity during its duration.

The article discusses how the United States is facing growing opposition to data center development, drawing parallels to global experiences in countries like Ireland, New Zealand, and Chile. Paris Marx, author of 'Hyperscale: The Ambition and Excess of Big Tech's Data Empires,' explains that the US movement against data centers is not a new phenomenon but rather a repetition of patterns seen internationally. In Ireland, for instance, the energy grid operator warned about insufficient capacity to support additional data centers, leading to industry efforts to build private gas power plants and lobby for legislation allowing private electricity infrastructure. Similar issues are now emerging in the US, with companies racing to build private gas power plants to support data centers, raising concerns about climate targets and energy equity. Marx also highlights the potential collapse of the AI bubble, questioning whether the massive infrastructure investments for AI data centers will be justified if demand for AI services diminishes. The article points to New Zealand's community-led initiative to develop a Māori language speech-recognition model using local cloud providers as an alternative vision for AI that prioritizes local needs over extractive practices. Marx argues that governments should implement stricter regulations on both data center development and AI products, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive assessment of the financial, social, and environmental costs of current AI infrastructure projects. The piece concludes by noting that while climate groups are increasingly linking data center opposition to climate concerns, the movement has yet to fully integrate climate considerations into its broader strategy.
