The global cost of greenhouse gas emissions are nearly double what scientists previously thought, according to a study published Thursday by researchers at the University of California San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography. It is the first time a social cost of carbon (SCC) assessment—a key measure of economic harm caused by climate change—has included […]

@WBOrcutt @bicmay (2/2) I think the biggest challenges we face are:
a) getting the populace to support addressing the infrastructure barriers and needed changes, given the resistance I see in San Francisco to dedicated bike lanes, zoning changes, funding for transit (especially given all the competing demands). (and I fear the incentives of large corporate interests (eg Amazon, supermarket conglomerates, Uber) coupled with peoples failure to comprehend the #ClimateCost of "convenience" are intrinisic barriers to addressing the infrastructure barriers)
b) Changing diets - Extrapolating from a personal POV, we cook most of our meals, and the cooking routines need to be changed to move to a more plant based diet. For me that is a harder challenge than most of the behavioral changes - not that I object to a low animal protein diet - the barrier is learning to prepare those meals. Old dogs and new tricks sort of problem, I guess. Slowly making progress, much less red meat now, etc
I guess I'll wait with the dishwasher till 15h.. nothing smart with my washer other than me😅
Such an easy way her in #Denmark to use the (yes, free, non foss) [Watts - energieassistent](https://watts.dk/) app for checking current average CO2 emissions per kWh or electricity price. It also connects to the electricity provider to show your consumption.
Are you using something like this? Are you adjusting your behaviour based on it?
