China is home to the world’s largest 5G network and the world’s second biggest data center industry. With developments such as the Internet of Things, blockchain and 5G, carbon emissions from China’s digital infrastructure are rising fast.

Here’s What 6G Will Be, According to the Creator of Massive MIMO
What we’re really after is, what is the next level of human-to-human communication going to be? In one sense, 5G didn’t deliver any new level of human-to-human communication, because 4G, and then the early parts of 5G, enabled ubiquitous streaming video. The next level is obviously augmented reality, and making it good enough so that the other person is effectively in the same room as you. That would be a transformative thing. From a wireless communications perspective, this imposes simply staggering requirements.
Aspects on the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 2020 Guidelines on Radiofrequency Radiation
Abundant and convincing evidence of increased cancer risks and other negative health effects are today available. The ICNIRP 2020 guidelines allow exposure at levels known to be harmful. In the interest of public health, the ICNIRP 2020 guidelines should be immediately replaced by truly protective guidelines produced by independent scientists.
5G AND THE MILITARY — Marriage Made in Hell
Unbeknownst to many people, 5G/satellites/CubeSats/data/AI/machine learning, and the internet of things are infiltrating and permeating the earth and skies and finding their way into the military as well. The aim for the US is to gain dominion over space for both commercial and military advantage; for whoever controls the high ground (space) controls Earth as well.
European Union Presentation of the studies: ‘Health impact of 5G’ and ‘Environmental impacts of 5G’ (online event)
Over the last decades, novel wireless communication technologies, such as mobile telephones, cellular networks and Wi-Fi, have been developed at unparalled speed., 5G, along with 3G and 4G, with which it will operate in parallel for several years, may also pose threats to human health. This event will present the results of two STOA studies, which take stock of our present understanding of the impacts of 5G on health and the environment.
Australian ‘No 5G’ Political Party demands moratorium until 5G is proven safe to human health, flora, fauna and property
The Australian No 5G Political Party is now official. Our mission is to protect life and freedom by regulating wireless 5G and associated technologies, and to establish a moratorium until such technologies are proven safe to health, the environment, privacy and security.
STANZ Submission on Ōtautahi Christchurch Climate Strategy
STANZ has identified that the CCC needs to take into account the fact that the mobile wireless digital economy is resource intensive and a high greenhouse emitting sector of the economy that is unsustainable for the climate.
Manmade Electromagnetic Fields and Oxidative Stress—Biological Effects and Consequences for Health
A trend is emerging, which becomes clear even when taking these methodological weaknesses into account, i.e., that EMF exposure, even in the low dose range, may well lead to changes in cellular oxidative balance. Organisms and cells are able to react to oxidative stress, and many observations after EMF exposure point to an adaptation after a recovery phase. Adverse conditions, such as diseases (diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases), compromise the body’s defense mechanisms, including antioxidant protection mechanisms, and individuals with such pre-existing conditions are more likely to experience health effects. The studies show that very young or old individuals can react less efficiently to oxidative stress, which of course also applies to other stressors that cause oxidative stress.
Overview of the Health and Environmental Effects of 5G, 4G and Wireless Radiofrequency Radiation
This review by the Environmental Health Trust (USA) brings to your attention critical scientific and technical information justifying an immediate moratorium on 5G and wireless network densification as called for by more than 400 scientists and supported by thousands of medical doctors. Independent public health and medical experts worldwide are requesting immediate reductions in both public exposure to microwave wireless radiation and a halt to the densification of wireless infrastructure.
Netflix lays out plans to slash its greenhouse gas emissions
To meet its deadline next year, the company is primarily relying on offsetting its emissions, a strategy with a checkered history when it comes to how well it actually slows down climate change. But many environmental advocates have pressured companies to do more to stop polluting in the first place, rather than relying on trees to clean up the mess.
Household Radar Can See Through Walls and Knows How You’re Feeling
Modern wireless tech isn’t just for communications. It can also sense a person’s breathing and heart rate, even gauge emotions.
Neighborhood residents say Pittsfield cell tower causing health concerns
Residents of Alma Street in Pittsfield say electromagnetic emissions from a cell tower just a few hundred feet away is causing them to experience chronic symptoms.
5G AND THE MILITARY — Marriage Made in Hell
5G infrastructure has already been paid for by the public through the commercial use of cellphones, smart cities and satellite internet such as Starlink. So through dual use technology, the military gets bargain prices for much of its infrastructure while the public (unknowingly) subsidizes war.
STANZ PRESS RELEASE: NEW STUDY LINKS SCREEN TIME TO CHILDREN’S EMOTIONAL & BEHAVIOURAL DIFFICULTIES
Young children who spend large amounts of time on mobile screens are more likely to have problems sleeping and managing their emotions and behaviour, a new Australian study has confirmed.
Manmade Electromagnetic Fields and Oxidative Stress—Biological Effects and Consequences for Health
In Switzerland, the government commissioned an independent study, the results of which incontrovertibly prove the non-thermal effect of electromagnetic fields.
EHS: Brain on Fire
Hellish headaches are just the start for people with electromagnetic hypersensitivity – and in our WiFi world, there’s almost nowhere to hide.
Non-thermal “heresy” that might be the reason why we see non-thermal effects
Let us hope that now, something will happen and the research, prevented efficiently by false “dogma” disseminated by ICNIRP and IEEE/ICES, will continue and ultimately prove that RF-EMF of cell phone has ability to alter biochemistry of cellular processes that, if unchecked, may lead to health effects.
Expert Report by Former U.S. Government Official Concludes High Probability Radio Frequency Radiation Causes Brain Tumors

Green Party of California Statement on 5G Wireless Technology Environmental Oversight
The federal government is fast-tracking a rollout of 5G technology on earth and in space (1).
5G requires an additional 800,000 proposed small cell sites in the United States alone placed in proximity of people, parks, and wilderness, as well as tens of thousands of satellites linked with an array of land-based macro-towers. This infrastructure has already been brought to market with no safety testing (2), and no environmental agency has set limits to ensure safety for living organisms such as insects, birds or vegetation (3).
