Over the past 500 years weâd expect about 50 animal extinctions, instead we have had 750.

A striking figure by Andrew Fanning, showing cumulative extinctions from 1500 to 2025, against the numbers that would be expected naturally over this period, and against what would be consistent with the planetary boundary.

NEW: Atlanta now has more surveillance cameras per person than any city on Earth outside a few in China.
The densest grid is over Black neighborhoods.
To grow that AI-fueled network, the city razed a part of its most important infrastructure: the forest.
