Oil production is the most ridiculously stupid process considering we do have an inkling about how to gather #solar #power #directly instead of waiting for plants to rot and turn into oil and then pump it from ridiculous depths & #pollute the #air & #water we need to breathe & drink. #OIL IS IDIOCY!

There was a time when we considered improving the #EnergyEfficiency of #backend services by switching from interpreted to compiled languages, out of concerns about #ClimateChange. Then came the #CryptoMining farms, AI #hyperscalers and #neoclouds - monstrosities that #pollute grotesquely and guzzle as much power as some nations. And people quit talking about climate change. Everyone seems to have given up in despair and accepted their fate!

Damn those #profiteering #psychopaths!

Email Ofwat - say NO to 15 years of illegal pollution

New Effort on the Runway to Raise #Climate Funds
A small group of countries is aiming to impose a fee on #privatejets and premium commercial fares.
“Those who #pollute more should contribute more, and a levy on premium fliers can generate billions for climate resilience, adaptation and sustainable development,” said Maria del Mar Fernández-Palacios at the #COP30 climate talks to draw other countries to join the Premium Flyers Solidarity Coalition

A Plan for Private Jet Taxes Would Fund Climate Measures

#Fossilfuel burning poses threat to #health of 1.6B people, data shows
#Carbondioxide, the main #greenhousegas from fossil fuel burning, does not directly damage health, but leads to #globa heating. However, #coal and #oil burning for power generation, and the burning of #fossilfuels in industrial facilities, #pollute the #air with particulate matter called PM2.5, which has serious health impacts when breathed in.
#ClimateTrace launched a new interactive map!

I thought that plug-in hybrid #ElectricVehicles might be a reasonable #ClimateCrisis compromise given how expensive non-hybrid EVs can be. Turns out that they #pollute almost as much

Plug-in hybrids pollute almost as much as petrol cars, report finds

Analysis of 800,000 European cars found real-world pollution from plug-in hybrids nearly five times greater than lab tests

Bryce Edwards rightly roasts the #Aotearoa / #NewZealand government for dropping the ball on #climateChange and #methane. #Agriculture contributes 5% of GDP, and holds the rest of us to ransom, "justifying" it with junk #science. They #pollute and reap in the profits while we pay the price. This is appalling #climate #policy. #nzpol #Pollution https://theintegrityinstitute.substack.com/p/integrity-briefing-lobbying-against
