I #noticed this too, that #carbon #emissions are creeping into #flight #search #results https://www.zerohedge.com/commodities/ca.. I will go one further, #skyscanner order their #results based on this. They should #calculate what is important though, reduced #price and #time - that also has the same affect. Yet the #goal here is to introduce a new #tax on #travel . It just means that the #poor will be even more unlikely to #travel .
Interesting #problem the #uk #government are trying to tackle - in their push to #encourage #zero #emissions by reducing #roadtax , they have #reduced their own #tax #income https://committees.parliament.uk/committ..
#germany can get off their #highhorse about #climatechange and #emissions when they #refuse to #singup to the #cop pledge of a 2040 #combustion #engine #phaseout https://www.dw.com/en/cop26-germany-fail..
I quite like this #smartwatch that can keep an eye on CO2 #carbon #emissions whilst on your #wrist https://hackaday.com/2021/10/30/this-sma..
If this is correct (and that's a *big* if), then in #theory #gallium could make for a great #emissions #reduction mechanism: https://www.mining.com/liquid-metal-help..
Looks like the #uk are going to be putting #nuclear #power first for #zero #emissions https://www.ft.com/content/e6426194-21e6.. As a #hackernews #comment points out, after #brexit nobody is left in the #eu to push back against #germany and their internal hatred of #nuclear #power https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=288..
Haha this piece of #software #detects when #ci #tests are being run and automatically adjusts to enable tests to pass: https://github.com/auchenberg/volkswagen What's better is they named it ' #volkswagen ' after the #emissions scandal some years back, where the car would detect it was being tested and adjust its emissions to pass tests.
That's a good point, #nz (and other Countries) have by percentage likely done much more #deforestation than #southamerica https://aardvark.co.nz/daily/2021/0715.s.. Apparently the #amazon #rainforest is now a net contributor to #carbon #emissions https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/.. It's entirely possible it's already too late to save the planet.
#labgrown #meat is now really cracking along: https://www.slashgear.com/worlds-first-l.. It's supposed to produce 80% less #greenhouse #emissions compared to the normal meat industry.
Apparently we have to look forward to a #meat #tax in the #uk https://youtube.com/watch?v=Z4XKEFKBg1A As somebody who currently eats almost exclusively meat as part of the #keto diet, I find this particularly troubling. Apparently this is nothing to do with #ethics - but instead an #environment push. Meanwhile, the biggest contributors to #emissions will go completely unpunished.
