If carried out in advanced economies, the actions in @IEA’s new 10-Point Plan would cut oil demand by 2.7 million barrels a day ahead of peak demand season The actions would have even more impact if adopted in emerging economies Read more ➡️ iea.li/3JoAlvk

Certes, de prometteuses recherches visent à l'aviation décarbonée du futur, mais pour l'heure c'est surtout prétexte à ne pas regarder les chiffres en face : A/R Paris-NY épuise d'un coup votre budget carbone annuel. Pas de salut pour le #climat sans réduction du trafic aérien !

The power consumed per single Bitcoin transaction on average could power an avg US household for more than 1.5 months. Just don’t see how ppl can get comfortable with this without outright denying the climate / energy crisis that we are in.

Some statistics to start the year: During 2021 Bitcoin consumed 134 TWh in total, which is comparable to the electrical energy consumed by a country like Argentina. Related CO2 emissions were ~64 Mt; enough to negate the entire global net savings from deploying EVs.

Travelling from Paris to the rest of France should you take the car or a combo of train & bike? Red areas are reached faster by car, blue ones by train & bike. Wonderful way of displaying comparative data. Source: buff.ly/3ARNpo7
