“New gas projects linked to just 11 data center campuses around the US have the potential to create more greenhouse gases than the country of Morocco emitted in 2024.”
New Gas-Powered Data Centers Could Emit More Greenhouse Gases Than Entire Nations
A WIRED review of permits for data center projects using natural gas and linked to OpenAI, Meta, Microsoft, and xAI shows they could emit more than 129 million tons of greenhouse gases per year.

Long COVID and risk of incident cardiovascular disease: a prospective cohort study using the Multimorbidity Integrated Registry Across Care Levels in Stockholm (MIRACLE-S) cohort
Long COVID is associated with increased risk of incident cardiovascular disease, particularly cardiac arrhythmias, heart failure, and coronary artery disease. These findings underscore the need for systematic follow-up and integration of long COVID into cardiovascular risk assessment.
