All the IPCC models assume massive amounts of sequestration, I believe
It’s a necessity at this point, even if all fossil fuel use stops globally tomorrow

If the overall goal is to increase the human population, it actually makes total sense
If the goal is to prevent murders, then no, it doesn’t make sense
There’s plenty of EVs with 300+ miles of range now. Shouldn’t be an issue.
carbon sequestration is not ever going to work
I don’t know what you’re talking about, it’s a thing that is currently being done. Not some future hypothetical tech.
But yes it is too expensive for now. Costs are coming down hopefully that continues to be the case.
And yes, the best, cheapest, most efficient way to reduce ghg is to eliminate fossil fuels.
Instead of offsets, companies should be pursuing direct carbon sequestration like with https://climeworks.com/
No estimates, no accounting magic. Just a direct measure of physical, measurable tons of carbon directly removed from the atmosphere.
Surveillance state.
For California at least, residential use is about 10% of all water usage iirc. So if data centers are dwarfed by that…not a big concern in the big picture.
The issue I guess is when data center usage sucks up all the local supply. State and region wide they don’t use much but they do use a lot in one small area.
Water is extremely important in most large scale cooling systems, whether it be swamp coolers (aka evaporative cooling) or traditional HVAC (aka chillers).
Not to mention a much higher carbon footprint.
The reason evaporative coolers are cheap is because they use a fraction of the electricity that chillers do.
And note that the majority of data center water usage is indirect via power generation, so using less water on site but more indirectly by consuming more power is both more expensive and less efficient.
Unfortunately, evaporative coolers are the best way to go, for now.
Screw data centers, I want to see desalination combined with nuclear power plants. They literally generate power by boiling water, it’s a match made in heaven.
We just need a few more advances in technology to remove impurities from brine and we’d also corner the table salt market.
Eh there’s really only 2 players in the browser game right now
Sure, from a European perspective, but one is center-right and the other is far-right (farther right than any of your parties).
Funny thing is, kbin shadow bans almost all nsfw content.
I don’t know about you, but I only notice when it’s a wildly different pic, usually nsfw. Probably just bias, I bet it happens all the time with pics that seem somewhat related or it’s a topic (and picture) you don’t care about.
Hey look everyone, we found someone who knows him personally and intimately!
Tell us more!
I heard - purely rumors - that he had been subject to tons of racism from the South Koreans and finally snapped one day.
Or more accurately, the military wouldn’t want you if you are too smart.
You’re mixed up, that’s US police, not US military.
MintPress News (MPN) is an American far-left[1] news website founded and edited by Mnar Adley (née Muhawesh) which was launched in January 2012[2] and also publishes the MintCast podcast. It covers political, economic, foreign affairs and environmental issues. Editorially, MintPress News supports Syrian president Bashar al-Assad, and the governments of Russia, Iran, and Syria.[3][4] It opposes the governments of Israel and Saudi Arabia,[5] and reports geopolitical events from an anti-Western perspective.[6] In one contentious article, MintPress News falsely asserted that the Ghouta chemical attack in Syria was perpetrated by rebel groups rather than by the Syrian government.[4]
Tankie propaganda. Ignore.
The carbon tax is supposed to (partially) go towards credits for EVs
