Neither were the heatwaves supposed to be so severe here right now already. Climate predictions were low side estimates, it’s happening faster and consequences of major tipping point influences (ice free arctic) are extremely hard to predict.

Sure.

I just half guerilla planted some shrubs in front of a nearby garage box wall that i don’t own on land that I don’t own. Take That, urban heat island!!!

I do. But in the next heatwave the local lake water might reach 38°C or water became so scarce from the drought…: now what?

Can always put on more clothes, but can’t undress more than naked…

It’s not the same.

Datacenters are rather few single points of massive consumption. Charging hundred million cars requires millions of points of high consumption.

The grid to charge an enormous fleet of EV really is more difficult and expensive to build than supplying a few dozen data centres. On top the EVs need charging in urban environment, while data centres are located in industrial environment. It is easier to lay a few massive cables from a nuclear power plant to a datacenter, than to lay millions of kilometres of mediumthick cables to every neighborhood in a country.

I’m not justifying the enormous energy usage of data centres, but this is a bit like comparing apples with oranges.
