'our central finding is that the climate impact of subsea data transmission is significantly lower than previously assumed, which can help recalibrate how ICT-sector emissions are calculated as global network traffic accelerates. Subsea cables contrast sharply with mobile- and satellite-based systems, whose emissions are substantially higher'

Prof. Kevin Anderson "We're going to be seeing unpecedented societal and ecological collapse."
Internal Exxon documents already knew this as early as the mid-to-late 1970s.

This is as close as we plan to get this year to “Car Week” events. Did errands in Monterey today, ready to stay out of all high traffic areas through Aug 16. How we feel about these 10 days of #car events, which reportedly bring 100,000+ visitors to Monterey County: https://bikemonterey.org/reflecting-on-monterey-car-week.html.

With friends in #Spokane and elsewhere impacted by #wildfires, our dedication to to doing what we can to help people reduce #CarbonEmissions of #transportation choices continues! #ActOnClimate

Thinking about trading your car in for an #EV? Here’s a compelling new reason to do it now
Research shows the #carbonEmissions benefits are far greater than you might imagine

^^Only 58 % reduction of carbon emissions over 16 years. Better to have no car and 100% reduction ...

And, which countries/regions are the world’s highest emitters #CarbonEmissions? Reported 2022, but the emission numbers are 🤯 -- which contribute to #ExtremeWeather #wildfires

"Once heat trapping gases get into the atmosphere, the effects are global. Trapping the sun’s energy doesn’t stop at national borders."

"Carbon dioxide stays in the atmosphere for as much as 200 years or longer. So historic emissions matter."

I will likely never own or drive a fossil-fueled car. Why? Not only cars are money-wasting machines and a pain in the ass to park, but also the private ownership of fossil-fueled cars is the biggest attributable source of carbon emissions.

"Guardian analysis found that the eight listed oil producers made almost $93bn (£69bn) in the three months to the end of June – the first full financial quarter after the US-Israeli war on Iran triggered a surge in global oil prices to highs above $126 a barrel.

The companies have used the biggest disruption of fossil fuel supplies in the market’s history to almost double their combined profits from just under $50bn in the same period last year, with campaigners warning that millions of households are left paying the price in higher bills and climate chaos.

The data suggests the eight oil companies – Aramco, BP, Shell, Equinor, TotalEnergies, Eni, Chevron and ExxonMobil – made more than $700,000 of profit every minute over the spring quarter.

While their market valuations were swelling by about $600bn to above $3tn, temperatures built towards a run of deadly heatwaves, all made more likely and more severe by burning fossil fuels.

Carbon emissions from the world’s biggest fossil fuel firms were directly linked to fatal spells of hot weather for the first time by scientific analysis published last September. It found the emissions from any one of the 14 biggest companies were each enough to cause more than 50 heatwaves that would otherwise have been virtually impossible."

Metal mining greatly increases the surface area of sulfide minerals that are exposed to weathering (mine surfaces and waste from crushed ore), and weathering of those minerals produces sulfuric acid. A new study estimates that the long-term carbon footprint of neutralizing acid mine drainage will be many times higher than that of the mining itself.

Airline emissions bills and carbon credits for investment dominate a revamp of the EU’s labyrinthine emissions scheme.

International flights arriving in Europe from destinations within 5000 km will be required to pay for their CO2 emissions from 2029 as part of a major overhaul of the EU’s emissions trading system announced on Friday.

🇪🇺 EU proposes slowing down cuts to carbon emissions for businesses

｢ The reforms would relax the rules of the bloc's emissions trading system (ETS) to give businesses more time to reduce their carbon output than previously planned ｣
