Afirmația „aberantă” a unei politiciene a stârnit un val de ironii. Cum se „inversează polii planetei” din cauza „apei subterane”

An Australian politician faced backlash for claiming underground water use is essential to prevent Earth's magnetic pole reversal. Robyn Cahill, Northern Territory's trade minister, linked water reserves to climate stability during a proposal for data centers. Experts criticized her statement as scientifically unfounded, emphasizing that pole reversals are driven by deep Earth processes, not groundwater systems. Environmental advocates are concerned about the impact of large data centers on water resources, urging a halt to hydraulic fracturing and data center projects until their effects are properly assessed. The Northern Territory government aims to attract major data center investments, with plans for significant energy production.
