The proportion of electricity used by vast warehouses stacked with microchips to power AI and the internet has risen 15% worldwide in the past two years as annual global investment in them approaches $1tn; nearly 1% of the global economy. Robert Booth | @theguardian.com

The world’s biggest bike parking in Utrecht didn’t happen overnight. And it didn’t fall out of the sky. It’s the product of decades of effective urban and transport planning. Long-term political decisions. Sustained public investment. Great cycling cities aren’t miracles. They are policy outcomes.

The energy crisis has laid bare something campaigners have long argued: our dependence on fossil fuels is neither inevitable nor stable. Yet advertising helps keep it that way. 💨 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

As we face a global energy shock, governments are asking people to drive less, fly less, and turn down their heating - while high-carbon companies are running ads telling us to fill up and fly away. This is a contradiction that people and the planet can’t afford.🧵 www.badverts.org/latest/why-t...

Excellent, depressing article on the massive transit gap between the US and much of the rest of the world. Achieving “world-class” transit (an accessible, frequent, reliable and convenient alternative to automotive travel) in major US cities would require $4.6tn over the next 20 years.

When cities heat up, shade becomes one of the most critical - yet unequal - resources we have. The amount of available shade reveals deep inequalities in our urban landscapes: 🔥 Heat burden follows income lines 👷‍♂️ Outdoor workers bear the brunt 👩‍👧 Vulnerable populations suffer most

None of the 2 billion tonnes of waste each year our cities generate each year are accidental (a figure expected to grow by 70% by 2050).

The 15-minute city is being sold as a convenience. Perhaps that's a mistake? Much of the discourse around 15-minute cities focuses on walkability, cafés, bike lanes, and lifestyle optimisation - essentially, making urban life nicer for people who already have choices.

Modern buildings react to heat. Traditional materials work with it. Sun-baked bricks, lime plaster, or laterite stone are not primitive choices. They’re thermal batteries, absorbing heat slowly and releasing it when temperatures drop.

¿Cuánto tiempo podemos sobrevivir en un mundo con ganadería industrial? 🤔 Para 2050, se estima que habrá 10 mil millones de personas en nuestro planeta y la demanda de alimentos aumentará un 50%. Sin embargo, la ganadería industrial no es la solución. Existe una alternativa y se llama agroecología.

Another reminder that one of the best things you can do for a walkable, lovable city is make space for double rows of street/yard trees that create #KissingCanopies above sidewalks. Especially as cities get hotter. Vancouver has many of them — not instead of density, but as part of #DensityDoneWell.

This is so amazing! Check out the pics in the article - all the green spaces make the city spaces so inviting! Love the streets as additional play spaces.

“…attendance was limited to countries willing to commit to a phaseout. This “coalition of the willing” represents more than half of global GDP, nearly a third of energy demand and a fifth of fossil fuel supply.”

Lots of questions about my birds-on-ice posts and how these early migrants fare when it’s still wintery. Here’s an industrious Orange-Crowned Warbler harvesting cattail seeds in a frozen marsh. Another vote for not “cleaning up” your garden and leaving the leaves in the fall #birds
