For some reason Kardashev never envisioned a civilization that could harness all of the sunlight that falls on their planet but uses most of it to create pictures of extremely busty ladies with three knees and fourteen fingers.
"can we harvest the sun faster than we can make computers squander all that energy" is a short summary of the 21st century

I worked on the Power bit of the G-20 Climate Members' Policy Scoreboard, so nice to see what the whole thing looks like! This is a neat condensed list of recommendations by sector. Press release and link to (very extended) executive summary here: about.bnef.com/blog/g-20-me...

In this excellent reporting by @joeldryden.bsky.social this juxtaposition is a stark reminder of how unprepared our systems (and the people that manage them) are for the changes that are coming.
Southern Alberta has the largest irrigated area in Canada. A billion-dollar irrigation expansion is planned. But it's been dry lately. Water allocations have been cut. Facing a drier and hotter future, a big question looms: 'Where's the water going to come from?' 🔗: www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

here's some data from ERCOT about how it handled the eclipse first, here's the mix of energy sources. during the eclipse, natural gas picked up most of the slack

I think the best thing about a solar eclipse is that it should remind us that we live on a planet and we should care for that planet because there are forces a lot bigger than us that should cause us to reflect with awe and reverence, and the other best part is the eclipse jokes

Just 57 fossil fuel and cement producers are tied to 80% of global fossil fuel carbon dioxide emissions since the Paris Agreement in 2015, InfluenceMap finds. They're increasing production post-Paris, too. www.axios.com/2024/04/04/c...
Data: Only 57 producers account for 80% of post-Paris emissionswww.axios.com The updated Carbon Majors database shows key trends in post-Paris carbon dioxide emissions.

This is, basically, what I write about in one chapter of my book. I rely on IEA reports, it also IPCC data and reports from major oil companies that all say effectively the same thing.
A new IEA report says there's two options left for oil & gas companies in a net-zero transition: disappear or transition. That's it. (Business as usual is not on the list) www.iea.org/reports/the-... 🔌💡 ClimateSky

Truth Social is just a masked defederated Mastodon instance. The Dutch language setting still calls posts toots, and their 404 image is a baby mastodon. And they haven't updated the source code since 2022. web.archive.org/web/20240326...
