"Textilbeton" klingt interessant, #Carbon statt #Stahl, was insgesammt weniger #Beton benötigt (#co2 spart) und langlebiger ist, da er nicht rostet/aufplatzt.
Besser latürlich #Lehm - speichert Wärme, lässt Feuchtigkeit durch (besseres Raumklima) und ist #Kreislaufwirtschaft fähig.
Writing my first #Zig code, and I can already tell this is going to be a struggle. So much syntactic sugar. Makes #Rust look easy to write in comparison.
All I want is a better C. So far #HareLang seems like the winner there.
#Perl still takes the cake as the worst language I had to write today. Though shoutout to the Perl fediverse community for being helpful people!
Do we really need #Zig and has it only become relevant due to #Bun using it?
I myself am very reluctant to learn and use it and would rather wait for something like #Carbon. I don't think I want all the drama the #Rust community kicks up once a week.
"A reconstruction of 66 million years of climate history indicates global temperature may be even more sensitive to carbon dioxide levels than current models estimate"
My 2018 MacBook Pro ships with a 50 W power supply unit. A desktop device can come with a 500+ W power supply. People have to decide for themselves if saving a bit of time is worth the extra #carbon 🤷♂️

@davidnavratil And the important question: how much #carbon did we emit mining and refining all that, and how much will we be able to mine in a #NetZero future?
I think we're going to be VERY short of strategic metals in the second half of this century.
"Preliminary data for 2023 suggest an increase in Fossil CO2 emissions relative to 2022 of +1.1 % (0.0 % to 2.1 %) globally and atmospheric CO2 concentration reaching 419.3 ppm, 51 % above the pre-industrial level (around 278 ppm in 1750)."
The global #Carbon budget is updated today and mastodon's favourite #Climate professor @TatianaIlyina has the details👇
So, I think we can all agree that the #IMF are not #green radicals... but its head Kristalina Georgieva has gone on record saying that climate-damaging carbon emissions needed to fall between 25% & 50% by 2030 but pledges so far would only lead to a "meagre" 11% cut;
She goes on: 'So that is to my mind the number one priority for this COP, is to recognise that business as usual has to be dropped'!
The UK is backing down from its climate ambitions at COP28.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak does not share his predecessor Boris Johnson's concern for the environment and has announced a number of retreats on key measures to achieve carbon neutrality.
A week before world leaders meet for the COP28 climate summit, Canada and the EU have committed to more environmental pledges.
Meeting at an EU-Canada summit, EU Commission President Von der Leyen said the alliance will "help us reach our net zero goal.”
The EU has signed up to Canadian PM Trudeau's Global Carbon Pricing Challenge which seeks to increase carbon pricing to 60% of global emissions by 2030.
Jeff #Bezos pledged four years ago that Amazon would lead the way on #carbon reduction. Since then, the firm’s emissions have risen by 40 percent — and its use of creative accounting suggests that the real figure is far higher.
I don't suppose we'll see the introduction of a #carbon border tax in the #AutumnStatement despite a government consultation and some support from Tory ranks. The EU has just implemented the world's first. It would help the UK reduce its total carbon footprint, something it appears to have stopped reporting on. It could also help with the important task of simultaneously greening and reshoring essential production.
#ClimateDiary There is no question that #COP28 will be the most important yet. The #GlobalStocktake will be the “biggest accountability moment in history”, and on its basis leaders will need to make crucial key decisions about fiscal and policy commitments. With less than two months to go, we need to all be as well informed as possible and put pressure on leaders as much as we can. I thought I would start a 🧵that I will keep going in the run up 1/n
@pvonhellermannn don’t trust the #privateSector with optimising for the environment. They can maximally be expected to optimise for selling #greenness. We have to expect, the private sector will ignore all environmental implications they can get away with, i.e. externalise as much as possible within any #internalisation project. #EnvironmentalEconomics
