    Bottom line, Bitcoin is bad for the planet

    Wow. Some real bullshit metrics here from Bitcoin defenders! -We're a tiny part of global monetary system, but hey, we only consume "40% as much energy" as banks & gold mining. -Most of us miners use at least a LITTLE bit of renewable energy, so we're not bad. Right? Riiight?

    This speaks to me. So tired of the dysfunctional political-media-social media nexus that seeks to divide us — for profit, clicks, and votes.

    What if we stop insisting everyone has to pick a side & then immediately share every set of beliefs associated w liberal or conservative ideology? How about simply rooting for humanity?

    Yes! More rigor, please. Here, and in all areas of climate discourse. Just because we want something to be true doesn’t mean it always is. That’s where evidence and scientific thinking can really help us.

    Let’s talk about climate solutions journalism.🧵I'm still seeing lots of climate coverage where the outlet covers JUST ONE food system solution: regenerative agriculture. But there’s a real question as to whether regen ag is, in fact, an effective climate solution AT SCALE.

    Carbon capture (in this case, CCS at a coal burning facility) is still a very long way from being viable.

    The only operating coal carbon capture project in the world captured just ~40% of a single coal unit's emissions over the last 12 months No carbon is captured from Boundary Dam's other 3 coal units, so the CCS facility captures just a tiny fraction of the coal plant's emissions

    “Anybody who thinks they’re a climate activist should spend a few minutes looking at a pie chart, showing where greenhouse gas emissions actually come from. They’d be shocked to find out that food & ag is about a quarter of emissions,"

    Explained NFTs to a waitress the other day. It's like going to the store to buy a Gucci handbag. But instead of the handbag you buy a recipient that just says you paid for the privilege of buying nothing. And you can sell that receipt to another sucker. It really is that stupid.

    Missing Tom. He was a great scientist and environmental leader. And a damn good human being.
