Latest cartoon: Fossil fuel CEOs are very worried about "polarization"
#climate #cop28 #climatechange #climatecrisis #fossilfuel #protest
![1. The head of the COP28 climate summit, who is the CEO of an oil company, recently defended fossil fuels.
Al Jaber: "I don't think [you] will be able to help solve the climate problem by pointing fingers or contributing to the polarization and the divide that is already happening in the world."
2. Curiously enough, the fossil fuel tycoon and climate disinformation spreader Charles Koch is funding an institute to study the issue of polarization.
Koch at desk writing a check with framed pictures on the wall reading "Tea Party founding father" and "Heartland Institute".
Koch: America's political divide -- so sad!
3. It seems the concept of "polarization" is a trojan horse for allowing corruption without opposition.
Sign on wall says "Welcome to COP28". Two protesters hold signs reading "PHASE OUT NOW" and "OUR FUTURE IS FOSSIL FREE."
American oil executive: These kids are so angry and uncouth.
Middle eastern oil executive: Truly they are the world's greatest problem.
4. The future is sure to be harmonious.

While reading “The Ministry for the Future” by Kim Stanley Robinson, I find myself wondering if this book should be required reading at #COP28
The story is fiction, of course. But it’s also highly informed & quite believable (so far). And it’s set in the not too distant future. #books #ClimateChange

I know a lot of ppl at #COP28. But the thing is, the majority of them aren’t scientists or legislators. They’re also not working on #ClimateChange issues personally.
I can’t help but wonder if the UN #climate summits have become more of an annual festival than a productive dialogue.

When we think of #food, we often aren’t paying attention to soil, but it’s actually what sustains our global food system.
Unfortunately, #ClimateChange, unsustainable farming practices & more are degrading soil around the world.

1/ What can you, a software engineer, do to fight #ClimateChange? My initial answer continues to be politics (codewithoutrules.com/2019/09/1…) but I now have a secondary answer.
There's a lot of software out there and it's ludicrously inefficient. Not because people don't care, but because no one bothered to look, or the cost is spread across millions of people, or because no one has time (open source! it's fun.)
Let me give you some examples—
What can a software developer do about climate change?
Pines and firs are dying across the Pacific Northwest, fires rage across the Amazon, it’s the hottest it’s ever been in Paris—climate change is impacting the whole planet, and things are not getting any better.Itamar Turner-Trauring (Code Without Rules)

Emissions from computing are apparently higher than for air travel, and that’ll only go up in the coming decades.
“As a society we need to start treating computational resources as finite and precious, to be utilised only when necessary, and as effectively as possible. We need frugal computing: achieving our aims with less energy and material.”
Frugal Computing -- On the need for low-carbon and sustainable computing and the path towards zero-carbon computing
The current emissions from computing are almost 4% of the world total. This is already more than emissions from the airline industry and are projected to rise steeply over the next two decades.arXiv.org

Many believe a significant way to address #climatechange is to 'eat local,’ but that’s not always true. The impact all depends on the kind of #food + how & where it’s produced.
Some foods require fewer resources (water, energy) in some parts of the world. Season can be important. Overall, transportation has a much lower carbon footprint than land use change. And so on.
So instead of ‘eat local,’ let’s go with ‘eat thoughtfully.’ ourworldindata.org/food-choice…
You want to reduce the carbon footprint of your food? Focus on what you eat, not whether your food is local
'Eat local' is a common recommendation to reduce the carbon footprint of your diet. How does the impact of what you eat compare to where it's come from?Our World in Data
Physicist John Tyndall is often credited w discovering the greenhouse effect, which he wrote about in 1859.
But Eunice Foote published a paper - 3yrs earlier - demonstrating how atmospheric water vapor & CO2 affected solar heating. She theorized that heat trapping gases in Earth’s atmosphere warm its climate.
Tyndall was widely read. And Foote, being a woman, wasn't even permitted to present her own work. climate.gov/news-features/feat… #history #science #ClimateChange
