Experten sind sich einig: Die Klimabilanz des Luftverkehrs ist verheerend, Fliegen muss "grüner" werden. Ein Bericht soll nun zeigen, welche Technologien am aussichtsreichsten sind. Noch ist viel Luft nach oben. Von Leander Beil.
With wildfire smoke season here, we all need to think about air quality inside where we spend most of our time. This article provides multiple examples measuring the air quality inside my home from wildfire smoke and cooking.
Someone actually built a Chrome extension to "Hide annoying Google AI Overviews". LOL. Right now it only has 2,000 users, but I wouldn't be surprised if it reaches millions in a few months when SGE (Search Generative Experience) will be rolled out globally. https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/hide-google-ai-overviews/neibhohkbmfjninidnaoacabkjonbahn Duckduckgo is also releasing similar tech using AI .
@nixCraft it would be better to prevent the LLM results from being generated altogether. That would not just save us from the #LLM crap but also prevent the #CO2 emissions being created at all (maybe).
Wachstum, aber in die falsche Richtung: Microsoft hat nicht weniger, sondern fast 30% mehr CO2-Emissionen. Es ist nicht leicht mit den Klimazielen, wenn Du dem KI-Hype verfallen bist.
Die #Klimaziele 🌍 werden nur zu erreichen sein, wenn es gelingt, #Kohlendioxid in großem Maßstab aus der #Atmosphäre zu entfernen und dauerhaft geologisch zu speichern. Direct Air Capture and Storage (#DACS) wird mittelfristig eine kosteneffiziente und vielversprechende Technik zur #CO2-Reduktion sein.
"The global average concentration of carbon dioxide in March this year was 4.7 parts per million (or ppm) higher than it it was in March last year, which is a record-breaking increase in CO2 levels over a 12-month period".
"ChatGPT consumes a lot of energy in the process, up to 25 times more than a Google search. Additionally, a lot of water is also used in cooling for the servers that run all that software. Per conversation of about 20 to 50 queries, half a litre of water evaporates – a small bottle, in other words."
AI is predicted to consume twice as much energy as the whole of France by 2030
Training GPT3, took 1,287 MWh (Megawatt hours) of electricity.
You’re falling for the „Individual CO2 footprint fallacy“ that was invented by big oil to divert attention and responsibility away from them, and shift the blame to us individuals.
From wooden buildings to air filters – how green cities could remove CO2 from the atmosphere
More than a thousand cities around the world now have #NetZero pledges: they want to emit only as much #CO2 into the atmosphere as they can simultaneously recapture.
Technically speaking, urban removals of this most important #GreenhouseGas could add up to one gigatonne (i.e. 1,000 million tonnes) per year by mid-century.
