Mal ne Frage in die #Fahrrad #Rennrad #Fedibike Runde: Fahre ein Wilier Jena mit 650b Felgen und 45mm Reifen. Shimano GRX 2 Fach. Würde gerne auf einen #Carbon-Laufradsatz für Alllroad/ Endurance Rennrad umstellen. Gibt's es Empfehlungen, bzw. welche #Reifenbreiten sind sinnvoll? Fahre 80%- 90% Asphalt, Rest leichter Schotter oder mal Waldweg . Danke schon im vorraus.
As political winds shift in the U.S. and big corporations pull back on their climate ambition, investors, too, are giving the cold shoulder to a nascent technology that will be vital to tackling climate change. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/05/02/tech/investors-sour-direct-air-capture/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #tech #climatechange #investments #carbon #emissions

Einer meiner 'Geheimtips', was #Radtouren #Fahrradtouren angeht
Mit der Bahn nach Freiburg im Breisgau
dann nach Titisee zum gleichnamigen See,
weiter nach Schluchsee zum ebenfalls gleichnamigen See
und zurück
wobei ein #Elektrofahrrad hilfreich ist, z.B. ein leichtes
wie sie z.B. hier angeboten werden (evtl. ähnliche auch in ihrer Nähe)

A new report has found that protected areas and Indigenous territories in the Amazon store more aboveground carbon than the rest of the rainforest.
Protected areas and Indigenous territories were also found to serve as significant carbon sinks between 2013 and 2022, absorbing 257 million metric tons of carbon dioxide.

The #Carbon #Footprint of #ArtificialIntelligence (AI) is substantial and growing due to the energy-intensive processes involved in training and deploying AI models, particularly large language models (LLMs).
Training a single AI model can emit a large amount of CO2, equivalent to the emissions of multiple cars over their lifetime.
#XPRIZE makes history, awards $100M prize for groundbreaking #carbon removal
#MatiCarbon developed sequestration technique called enhanced rock weatherin. The company spreads crushed basalt on farms in India and Africa. Silica-rich volcanic rock improves soil quality for crops but also helps remove #carbondioxide from air. It does this by reacting with dissolved #CO2 in soil's water, turning it into bicarbonate ions and preventing it from returning to the atmosphere.

Wouldn't it be be great if we could get a #carbon intensity forecast from #AWS?
Instead of guessing the location of their data centres and gathering data about carbon intensity from various sources, they could give us an API and tell us for a given location what the carbon intensity currently is and a 24 hour forecast.
This would facilitate carbon aware applications.
Can we sue fossil fuel companies for causing global warming?
New study claims to have calculated the individual contributions to the climate crisis by major corporations. And they estimate that damage to be $28 trillion from 1990-2020

The Sixth Element How Carbon Shapes Our World by Theodore P. Snow & Don Brownlee, 2024
The story of carbon from a cosmic perspective—how it was born in the fiery furnaces of stars, what special chemical and physical properties it has, and how it forms the chemical backbone of the planets and all life as we know it.
Carbon: The Book of Life by Paul Hawken, 2025
Carbon is the only element that animates the entirety of the living world. Though comprising a tiny fraction of Earth’s composition, our planet is lifeless without it. Yet it is maligned as the driver of climate change, scorned as an errant element blamed for the possible demise of civilization.
