Microsoft's carbon emissions up nearly 30% thanks to AI

https://www.theregister.com/2024/05/16/microsoft_co2_emissions/?td=rt-3a

It is so depressing. OK, the speed limits is as much a statement of intent as a meaningful measure (ave you ever tried driving in the Netherlands), but depressing ostrich like behaviour all the same.

Majority of Singaporeans aware of net zero concept, but less clear on national climate targets: study

Research finds that only 15 per cent of respondents know of the city-state’s goal to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. Singaporeans also lack understanding of the types of action – for example, switching to a plant-based diet – that can bring about larger impact on cutting emissions

Farmers in Nigeria — and other regions, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa — are suffering huge losses due to extreme weather shifts in quick succession, a phenomenon that researchers refer to as “weather whiplash.”

Research shows a connection between poverty and weather whiplash, and farmers in poorer regions are five times more exposed to drought-downpour cycles than people in wealthier regions.

Carbon removal won't save us. We need to eliminate fossil fuels

To the editor: Your article on new scientific interventions to address global climate issues opens with the questionable claim that direct air capture to sequester atmospheric carbon dioxide represents perhaps one of “the world’s best hopes for combating climate change.”

Two Indigenous villages in Indonesian Borneo have received initial funding of nearly $15,000 from the New Zealand government to improve their livelihoods while protecting their ancestral forests.

Residents of the Dayak villages of Setawar and Gunam mostly grow oil palms, but also still rely on their ancestral forests for making medicinal herbs, producing handicrafts and carrying out traditional rituals.
