So glad to finally see this standard take shape!
Some work news - My last nine or so months with the Green Web Foundation have been mostly working on carbon.txt, a proposed standardised approach for websites to publicise their sustainability commitments and data, and we've just released a new version! www.thegreenwebfoundation.org/news/carbont...
Carbon.txt version 0.4 - Green Web Foundation

Stunning photos of a horrifying flotilla of industrial-fishing ships that can be seen from space, plundering an ungoverned part of the ocean. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
‘Mad fishing’: the super-size fleet of squid catchers plundering the high seas
Every year a Chinese-dominated flotilla big enough to be seen from space pillages the rich marine life on Mile 201, a largely ungoverned part of the South Atlantic off Argentina

This shot gets my vote!
This image, taken by astronaut Nichole Ayers, is also a finalist in our ✨Planetary Science Image of the Year✨! You can still vote for it in this thread: bsky.app/profile/spac...
Can you see fireworks from space? 🎆

You can if you get lucky, but nature always puts on the best show.

We're celebrating the New Year with this stunning sight from the International Space Station: a giant blue jet and red sprites shooting upwards from a thunderstorm.

Even if every new AI data center were powered by renewables, this immense increase in global power consumption is deeply concerning:
It is not an accident that a technology that replaces human thinking and creativity is simultaneously dependent on intensifying the unlivilability of earth.
A few important points here

- Generative AI supercharged data centre growth: lobbyist and substacker lines pretending like this is just streaming are false

- Even when you consider much of the projected growth is speculative, the *likely* projects are still MASSIVE

Ouch! What it feels like to shoot ourselves in the foot!
Whoa. 96%!!!
By 2040, ~40% of the images from Hubble Space Telescope, and more than 96% from new and future space telescopes like SPHEREx, ARRAKIHS, and Xuntian will be contaminated by internet satellite constellations.

Finally! Somebody doing some something about AI & Bitcoin energy consumption.
Awesome. British Columbia optimises our public clean-green renewable energy uses by restricting it from being gobbled up by foreign AI and data centres and permanently bans cryptomining (Bill 31, Energy Statutes Amendment Act).

Queue the outrage...

Darn AI must be thinking: ok we got wind energy, oh and then there's wind harps... no big difference, let's combine them.
Have you been on any Meta platforms lately? For people like me with a pattern of interest in sustainability it is 99% A.I. slop with crap like this.

No. Greece is not installing wind harp powered street lights.

Solar + BATTERIES = Game Changer!
Grid scale batteries are changing our electricity system. Excellent new visual story on batteries in FT today shows just how far this technology has evolved.

Fasten your seatbelts, this is just the beginning.

Tofu’s close relative can be sliced, smoked, marinated, deep fried, turned into mince, burgers, or ‘bacon’ … and it’s high in protein and other vital nutrients. Here’s how to make the most of it

Google is still 210x bigger than ChatGPT in search

ChatGPT handles 66 million search-like prompts daily vs. 14 billion Google searches. AI is growing, but Google search still dominates.

Celebrating the power of the sun. Never gets old.
The power of clean energy hit the news across the U.S. last weekend as 500 events kicked off to celebrate Sun Day 🗞☀️ Thank you to local organizers for sharing the story of Sun Day and showing the HUGE support for solar and wind that continues to grow despite the challenges we face.

Did not see that coming...
Instead of worrying that TikTok could carry Chinese government propaganda — which the Supreme Court declined to even consider — "people can now be concerned that TikTok could be a conduit for US government propaganda," EFF’s @davidgreene.bsky.social and @evacide.bsky.social said.

TikTok’s U.S. operations could soon be run by Oracle, Silver Lake Partners and the Murdochs under a proposed $100 billion deal.

The Columbus module space lab gets my vote for coolest place for a scientist to work.
Today, @esa.int's Columbus lab on the International Space Station circled Earth for the 100,000th time🎉

During that time, we’ve seen:
🧳4.26 billion km travelled
🧪250+ experiments
👩‍🚀16 ESA astronauts
🥼75 m³ of lab space
🕣19,280 shifts run by the Columbus Control Centre
