#ghgemissions — Public Fediverse posts

Frustrated about the lack of information about data centres in Alberta?

One woman decided to take the bull by the horns and build a website - one source of truth about all the data centres operating, approved, under construction and proposed.

There’s nothing like it anywhere else, including on the provincial government’s website.

I asked Technology and Innovation Minister Nate Glubish, who has complained about misinformation at the recent town halls, several questions about transparency.

Despite promises to get back to me with answers…no response arrived as the publishing deadline came and went.

Article 2.1(c) of the #ParisAgreement requires financial flows to be made consistent with a pathway towards low #GHGemissions. A new discussion paper evaluates assessment frameworks to track progress toward Article 2.1(c), identifying key trends and gaps:

@Sustainable2050 And stop burning fossil fuels. More exciting energy production not much help otherwise #demandreduction

Debate about refugia and whether recovery is still possible simply diverts attention from the need to decarbonise - #stopfossilfuels #GHGEmissions #Ecocide

🐶 Researchers compare the footprint of meat vs. plant-based #dog foods:

(via @AnthropoceneMag)

Reminds me of the intentionally provocative book "Time to Eat the Dog? The Real Guide to #SustainableLiving" by Robert & Brenda Vale. Their premise: the #CarbonFootprint of a #pet dog is twice that of a 4.5L Toyota Land Cruiser driven 10,000 km/year! (That model was just discontinued in NZ to meet #GHGemissions standards.)

Turns out the Vales were cited in the original paper!

Describing the COP climate meeting as having become more like a “festival for the oil-producing countries”, Talia said Tuvalu is also exploring a range of alternative initiatives...
...Representatives of oil-producing countries are now attending the COP climate meetings in “big numbers”, Talia said, in order to try and “really bury our voice as small developing countries”.

"...the Subtropical Front – the boundary between cold subantarctic water and warmer subtropical water that is biologically and economically significant – has moved 120km west, the report said, noting it was the first time a shift in large-scale ocean circulation around New Zealand had been observed..."

@anirvan
In other words, we were well on our way to decarbonizing our energy supply, and the billionaires figured out that there are even more profitable ways to waste energy than bitcoin.

Anyone who believes market forces, or market forces influenced by carbon taxes, are sufficient to address #GHGemissions, #ClimateCrisis , #EcosystemDamage haven't been paying attention. Or they are worshipping at the altar of Friedman, ruled by faith in a false idol.

🌍 We’re looking forward to a week of fruitful exchange at the EGU General Assembly 2025 in Vienna!

Our team will present exciting work on hiWALK and hiBIKE – co-created tools to support active mobility for all – as well as a poster on high-resolution, bottom-up GHG emission inventories using open data.

📍 27 April – 2 May 2025 | Vienna, Austria
