[ad_1] Tech giants are racing to ward off a carbon time bomb caused by the massive data centers they're building around the world.A technique pioneered by Google is gaining currency as more power-hungry artificial intelligence comes online: Using software to hunt for clean electricity in parts of the world with excess sun and wind on the grid, then ramping up data center operations there. Doing so could cut carbon and costs. There's an urgent need to figure out how to run data centers in ways that maximize renewable energy usage, said Chris Noble, co-founder and chief executive officer of Cirrus Nexus, a cloud-computing manager tapping data centers owned by Google, Microsoft and Amazon. The climate risks sparked by AI-driven computing are far-reaching — and will worsen without a big sh...

[ad_1] During COP27 we’re posting high-resolution images of a methane clouds to highlight how common — and damaging — releases of the potent greenhouse gas are. All through COP27, Bloomberg Green will exclusively publish new satellite images of methane releases around the world, in collaboration with emissions monitoring firm GHGSat Inc. Scientists say reducing the emissions of methane, which has 84 times the warming power of carbon dioxide during its first two decades in the atmosphere, is one of the fastest and cheapest ways to cool the planet. Near Kirtland, New Mexico, USA, Nov. 6, 1:48 pm local time A GHGSat satellite observed methane emissions near a coal mine Sunday afternoon in New Mexico that the emissions monitoring firm said was coming from a mine vent. The company est...
