https://www.aljazeera.com/ajimpact/carbon-big-foot-climate-impact-streaming-music-videos-200221220408755.html Indeed so... At least we have all the resource hungry tech concentrated in the data centres which allows for 'going green' for those sooner rather than not soon enough... There is also the big advantage of reducing the need for commuters to commute, if our culture can adapt to home working or remote working in local 'hubs'. Where there is a will, there is a positive way forward...

The ultimate of government and political denial?... When your capital is sinking... Start again? wrote: ... The Indonesian leadership promises it will be a sustainable city the like of which Indonesia, and arguably the world, has never seen. Environmentalists fear however that this ambitious plan could have disastrous implications. Really?!!!

About time, but wasn't that the case in the past? They will ensure products are designed and manufactured so they last - and so they're repairable if they go wrong.End of "throwaway" culture? |

Disingenuous deadly Marketing at its worst? The Coal Industry's a New 'Clean Coal' Scheme Is Dirty wrote: In the summer of 2017, Mary Hess, a retired postal worker, heard rumors about a proposal for a mysterious new coal plant to be built in her town of Dale, Indiana. But for months, they were just rumors, because it was hard to find any details about the project... At what point of pollution does Marketing and euphemisms turn into simple outright lies?

Two stories climate related in the Washington Post today. America’s longest river was recently drier than during the Dust Bowl. And it’s bound to happen again. For the first decade of the century, the Upper Missouri River Basin was the driest it’s been in 1,200 years, even more parched than during the disastrous Dust Bowl of the 1930s, a new study says. Rockefeller heirs to Big Oil find dumping fossil fuels improved bottom line Five years ago, members of the Rockefeller family walked away from the fossil fuels that made them rich, alarmed that burning oil and gas was causing climate change. Now it also seems like a smart financial move. The $1.1 billion Rockefeller Brothers Fund — largely free of oil and gas — has outpaced financial benchmarks, defying predictions of money managers. |

The resort of Rappasundet, five kilometers north of Arjeplog, north of the Arctic Circle, has for some time been having reindeer as frequent beach visitors. - It's so hot here that you really see how the reindeer think - "Damn the summer." They are tormented and breathing heavily, but the coolness of the beach life makes it a little easier for them, says Johan Fjellström, a resident of Arjeplog, and the person who took the pictures. How do the bathers react? - They think it's great fun! The reindeer are peaceful. I myself was as close to them as 15 meters when I visited Rappasundet, says Johan Fjellström. |
