This Google spinoff aims to remove 500 tonnes of CO₂ per year from the atmosphere, which is a time machine that takes us back less than a second each year. 🙃

I’m not against cute things that people do, but this will never be a climate solution. What will? Wind and solar, electrification, energy efficiency, stopping methane leakage.

I will never forgive Elon Musk for making Twitter so terrible that people think LinkedIn is acceptable to use.

davidho, 6 days ago

TIL that LinkedIn is owned by Microsoft.

@LALegault Yikes. LinkedIn is even worse than I thought.

2020: Microsoft sets goal to be carbon negative by end of the decade.

2023: Microsoft's emissions are 30% higher than in 2020.

Main cause? The relentless push to meet AI demand, which requires new data centers built out of carbon-intensive steel, cement, chips.

When you see the best selling vehicle in America on a French street, you realize how ridiculous it is that we let this infestation happen in the US.

@lgsp No, you just use the pegs on the back.

davidho, 11 days ago

@lgsp No, you hold on to the handlebar, put one foot on a peg, scoot with the other foot, and jump on.
