In the late 1800s, when steam ships were replacing sailing cargo ships, one of the last roles for the sailing ships was to carry coal around the world to supply ports where steamships wanted to go. A clean technology was essential to enable the growth of a dirty technology. And even today, fossil fuels aren’t magically just everywhere. A gigantic *** 40% *** of global shipping is just moving fossil fuels. So eliminating fossil fuel also drastically cuts global shipping emissions. #climate #ships

That's an interesting bit of history that I had never heard before!

40% is a huge fraction of global shipping, but global shipping is only 2% of global emissions. We really need to focus on green electricity generation, which is 28% of global emissions.

Global Greenhouse Gas Emissions: 1990-2020 and Preliminary 2021 Estimates | Rhodium Group

Tracking greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across the 190+ Parties to the Paris Agreement provides valuable data for decision-makers in both public and private sectors as they develop strategies to meet global net-zero emissions goals. This data can inform policies and interventions that target the most carbon-intensive industrial and economic activities. Every year, Rhodium Group provides […]

@Claudia yes please!

My husband's family for generations beginning in Germany, then Russia, and finally the US, passed down this recipe for Grakuga. Making it is a family tradition.

We don't know where the name Grakuga came from because it's actually called Bierock. A family member long ago perhaps. It's cabbage, onion, and ground beef in sweet roll dough, and I made it for dinner. Yum!

Just caught the quote from James Comer claiming George Santos had a long way to go to catch up to Joe Biden's lies. Just dishonest partisanship.

George Santos is a compulsive liar who hasn't said one true thing. They can't paper that one over.

Day One Thoughts: 1) Man, it’s quiet over here. 2) I hope this platform doesn’t raise my BP every time I pop on. 3) I need to find interesting people to follow to beef up my feed. I’m guessing that will come with time as people transition over. 4) I love there are so many creative people here. 5) I need a user manual. 6) Wonder if anyone see my toots (?) since there’s not millions of people here yet 🤔 7) Not loving “toots”
I think that’s it for now…

What is the future of Black Twitter? Will Black users stick around as Musk ejects those that annoy him/his ego? Is it possible to rebuild this community elsewhere? Do we even need to ask this question? 🤔

Here's a thread of critical, curious, and contextual articles by some smart folks: 1/#
