There is a piece of wisdom that Senator McDowell has mentioned previously - so often, we are told things are too early and then we are told they are too late at a point in between. The issue of data centres is a clear example of that.

The Senator did not say that it did not matter and he made it clear that his comments were specifically in respect of glaciers. In that context, I probably still disagree with the law of tipping points as it relates to glaciers, given the volume of sea ice we have lost over the past six years. Nonetheless, I am sorry if I phrased it as "things do not matter". The Senator has made clear what he actually said.
