Major tech companies are producing far more carbon emissions than they suggest in their sustainability reports. They’re lobbying hard to rewrite the rules on how emissions are calculated to show net zero on paper, but not in practice. https://www.ft.com/content/2d6fc319-2165-42fb-8de1-0edf1d765be3 14 comments
Hi Paris, Obeying the letter of the law but not the spirit springs to mind here! I believe that you will likely be interested in a petition for radical reform of the UN 🇺🇳, whose efforts when faced with climate change and other challenges/crises of this century have, unfortunately, been ineffective. If indeed you are, here it is: https://www.change.org/ReformTheUnitedNations Regards @parismarx @parismarx Alphabet and Amazon aren't even bothering to buy offsets for the dirty energy they consume. How can they claim to be net zero emissions?   @GhostOnTheHalfShell @parismarx If carbon is something one can trade in, there will be cooking of books.   @parismarx ? https://www.democraticunderground.com/10143291932 hello: https://www.democracynow.org/2021/11/19/katie_worth_climate_education_investigative_reporting hello again - do you pump to get around " .ha. class action the bastards.. for not making this easy for all.. https://youtube.com/shorts/dCNpwX2t9Ak Level 2 is the way - day x day GFY GOP / savdi/ baloney holes of evermore sludge gfy It sucks a lot that it's increasing fast, but to put it in perspective, per capita CO2 equivalent emissions (eg. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/co-emissions-per-capita ) indicate that they're not the main offenders; "western lifestyle" should be rethought for much more energy efficiency. Everytime you (generic you) go to fill your car gas tank you're about to emit 200 kg of CO2. Doing it once a week is already 10 tons per year.  |

@parismarx Tagging #DataViz here for the exceptionally clear use of line/area charts, but also the weirdly different scales on these visualizations.
