    Cold cold cold

    To the Horror of Global Warming Alarmists, Global Cooling Is Here - Forbes

    But don't worry, the ice age that is coming will last no more than 250 years.

    How well do these new fangled anti-carbon windmills work in temperatures of -20?

    On a positive side - cooler weather would enable cheaper data center cooling.

      Does your host charge by the btu from all those disks?
      How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

        Gr8 stuff

        You only have to look at Prof Jone´s temp charts to see what´s happening

        By the end of the decade it´s going to be bl**dy obvious.

          It's okay, we can just cut down more forests:

          Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

            Power is the most expensive element now - not rack space, essentially data centers are mainly resellers of energy suppliers, with some bandwidth thrown in

              Solar powered data centres at the poles.

              Free cooling, lots of solar energy.

              Sorted.

                Iceland were touting themselves as Europe's data centre. Lots of carbon neutral geo-thermal energy for power, and lots of natural cold for cooling. Whatever happened to that?

                    They worked out it would only bring in a few hundred billion compared to trillions if they invested in bankers.
