i got bored and did the napkin math if you assume - there are 6 billion active cell phones today - they all cycle 10 watt hours every day - they all average spending 1% of their time/energy on displaying game ads that works out to 600MWh of energy consumption per day now take: - one single cross-coast flight (jfk<->lax) burns about 75000 liters of jetfuel - at ~33% efficiency thats 1,000 MWh of energy expended - there are approximately 50 jfk<->lax flights a day - there are over 100,000 flights a day in general all of cell phones electricity on all of earth combined is less than one hundred flights

Scarabrae posted:A new study that looked at nearly 40 million flights in 2019 was able to calculate the greenhouse gas emissions from air travel for nearly every country on the planet. At 911 million tonnes, the total emissions from aviation are 50 per cent higher the 604 million tonnes reported to the United Nations for that year. The airline companies 100% are calculating their bullshit “plant a tree” programs to under report their total emissions.

Well thank god we've got a carbon credit market that very scientifically and accurately tells us how much carbon is offset by ... someone ... doing something

Carbon credits are what happens when the omega-level brain geniuses behind poo poo like collateralized debt obligations need to make up a reason why dumping a trillion tons of carbon into the atmosphere won't cause global warming

Loucks posted:Golf courses. I often think of George Carlin’s bit about building low-cost housing on the golf courses of America from the late 80s or early 90s. Talking about the acreage of extant golf course at the time he said, “you could build two Rhode Islands and a Delaware for the homeless with the land being wasted on this meaningless, mindless, arrogant, elitist, racist game.” That was at least 30 years ago. imagine how much land is under golf courses now!

mahershalalhashbaz posted:keeping a well-watered backyard vegetable garden and not drenching it in pesticide is one of the best things a non-millionaire individual can do for their local ecosystem. plus you can step outside and straight away see all the insects, lizards, birds etc that you're helping. it's a drop in the bucket, but, you know, starfish parable That's the one where the invasive seastars destroy the ecosystem, right?
