Imagine all the money that is spend on A.I would be used for renewable energies, research of sustainable technologies and reforestation, as well in public transport. Our planet and humans would be healthier, luckier and would look more optimistic into the future because things as climate change and species extinction would be tackled. What are we striving for? #future #climateChange #crisis #planet #thereisnoplanetB #nature #sustainability #artificialintelligence #ai

@quixoticgeek Carbon per passenger kilometre of aviation is substantially higher than (any) surface transport, though, by at least one order of magnitude. So we should still be enormously concerned by any growth in aviation.

Indeed I am certain that unless we stop civil aviation entirely by 2050, there is no future.

The potato famine and aviation fuel

A litre of aviation fuel is 8,250 calories; a ton of aviation fuel is 1,250 litres, so a ton is slightly north of ten million calories. The world burns 99 billion gallons of aviation fuel per year, or about three billion tons; that's around three quadrillion calories. That's the equivalent of food for 3 billion people

People proposing this sort of catastrophic, planet destroying nonsense should be treated like war criminals -- oh, wait, no, we no longer prosecute war criminals, instead we promote them. They should be treated like paedophiles -- oh, wait, no....

We should fine them of everything they own and imprison them for a really long time.

But we won't. So our beautiful planet will die.

"British officials say this is an inevitable consequence of a years-long wait to connect to the National Grid, and raises an “interesting question” about the UK’s climate targets."

It doesn't raise any 'interesting questions'. It drives a coach and horses through our #ClimateChange targets, and signs the planet's death warrant.

More than 100 UK datacentres plan to burn gas to generate electricity

Requests for gas connections by operators amount to more than 15 terawatt hours per year, endangering climate targets

Heute hat Deutschland seinen #Erdüberlastungstag erreicht.

Würden alle Menschen so leben wie wir Deutschen, bräuchte es 2,8 bis 3 Erden. Ab morgen leben wir auf Pump. Unser #Lebensstil ist nicht #zukunftsfähig. Was tun?

@urlyman This graph is a delusion. The curve doesn't work like that.

There may still be a way to continue to extract fossil hydrocarbons for another 150 years, but it would have to be done by robots. There won't be any humans, any mammals, any warm blooded creatures left to do it.

In which case, what is the point?

The point is this: the true right hand side of that graph is a cliff, and we are teetering on the edge of that cliff right now.

@urlyman Yes, but this is irrelevant, too, because this time we can't: we're up against a hard limit imposed by the laws of physics. We're heating our planet beyond what is habitable for us.

So we either abandon fossil hydrocarbons altogether, or we end complex life on Earth.

Full disclosure, I believe we're choosing the second option. Certainly, #UKLabour and the #SNP are.
