Jan RosenowPeople sometimes ask me how I can remain optimistic that we can address the climate crisis.

SallyX@MrLee Actually laughing out loud at this 😆

When I was making it, I was wondering, will anyone get this? 🤔

@MrLee The nicheness of the joke makes it even more delightful 😉
littlealmeida@janrosenow How much carbon was generated by producing those goods? And how long will they actually last? The big problem is planned obsolescence. If we keep switching cars every 2 years it is actually worse.
Alex Dufournet@janrosenow these are great but numbers without knowledge of the context can feel very abstract.
How do these compare to a net-zero trajectory? Any chance of putting both on the same graph so I too can feel optimistic?

@alexduf I recommend the IEA report from yesterday that answers your questions. https://iea.blob.core.windows.net/assets/7c02e774-9d1b-4398-9313-840913e1b4e6/NetZeroRoadmap_AGlobalPathwaytoKeepthe1.5CGoalinReach-2023Update.pdf
Nemo_bis 🌈@janrosenow But the EU alone needs to install some 5000 GW by 2035 for us to have any chance...

Attached: 4 images The recent LUT University model for a cost-optimised transition to nearly carbon-neutral EU by 2035 provides many interesting and surprising figures. https://www.greens-efa.eu/en/article/document/accelerating-the-european-renewable-energy-transition #ClimateCrisis #ClimateChange

Beeks@janrosenow it's very easy to remain optimistic if you don't understand the problem.
excited for the mastodon rise@janrosenow I'll add this https://about.bnef.com/electric-vehicle-outlook/
The key takeaway there, of course, is how much more fossil fuel is displaced by micromobility than by cars.
Fortunately, a lot of cities and countries are updating their infrastructure so people can choose the best mode of transit, rather than being forced into a car. It's another curve that's trending up. :-)
