"MIT chemical engineers have devised an efficient way to convert carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide, a chemical precursor that can be used to generate useful compounds such as ethanol and other fuels."
@davemark a useful form of carbon dioxide removal that helps replace fossil fuels but will it help reduce the excessive amounts of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere? #co2#CO#cdr#fossilfuel#climatechange
I had the tab open for months, and finally bought my first book and signed up w/ Tertulia.com—a "co-op bookstore."
"Tertulia is co-owned by our co-op members, a community of avid readers. This means that we put the interests of readers, authors, and a healthy book ecosystem first."
It costs $25/year for free shipping & 20% off retail price. Which beats Amazon prime (if all you're buying is books).
I'm curious to see how this goes. Anyone else a member?
Jack Dorsey doesn’t “own” Blusky, he just gave them grant money in the beginning to kick things off, and is one of the board members.
“Prior to the seed round, Bluesky’s website described the company as a Public Benefit LLC owned by CEO Jay Graber and other Bluesky employees. Post-seed round, the company describes itself as a public-benefit C Corp.”
This kid ran up to me and requested a photo when he saw me with a DSLR. It was cute, but also sad that I couldn’t easily share the photo with them—they didn’t speak English and just kept asking, “photo?” 😭
Don't trust those "little buddy heaters" and their cousins of having CO2 sensors and low #Oxygen cutoffs that their marketing indicates you can bank your life on.
You can fucking die.
I used a few of these for several years, when I lived completely off-grid, in the mountain wilderness far from the nearest humans.
They're really convenient and quick to heat a small area, or anything close to them, in just a few minutes, and you can pick them up at any Target, Walmart, Big 5, Tractor Supply, Etc., for $40 - $50.
Basically, you warm your environment, sitting on your cot and warming up your feet and toes before turning it off and burrowing into your subarctic bedding. You can leave the pilot going all night so all you need to do is twist and click it on on the morning, but seriously, why bother?
Sharp (and more importantly, observant) girl in the video - although there's no way to be sure, she just may have saved the lives of everyone in that fricken' tent.
"Nearly all the copies of a small-town Colorado newspaper were stolen from newspaper racks on the same day the Ouray County Plaindealer published a story about charges being filed over rapes alleged to have occurred at an underage drinking party at the police chief’s house while the chief was asleep, the owner and publisher said..."
It portends to be comical, as locals who want to replace Ken Buck are going to label Boebert a "carpetbagger".
Different and yet similar to how Sarah Palin lost an Alaska US House seat to a Democrat. Doubt Boebert is going to win the CO 04 #GOP primary.
Also she did zilch for #CO 03, and will probably be confronted on that as well. She heckled Biden at a SOTU address or two, and pledged allegiance to Trump. That's about it.
Sensor an der ISS kartiert bisher unentdeckte CO₂- und Methanemissionen
Eigentlich soll das System EMIT Mineralstaub in der Erdatmosphäre detektieren. Doch als Bonus erfasst es die Spektralsignaturen von Methan und Kohlendioxid.
This is why people are so damn angry in this country.
Yet another court rules that laws do not apply to Donald Trump.
"Colorado District Judge Sarah Wallace concluded – based on testimony of US Capitol Police officers, lawmakers, clips from Trump’s January 6, 2021, speech and expert testimony about right-wing extremism – that Trump engaged in the January 6 insurrection.", #CNN
"Wallace determined that Trump 'actively primed the anger of his extremist supporters' and 'acted with the specific intent to incite political violence and direct it at the Capitol.'
She also found that Trump 'acted with the specific intent to disrupt the Electoral College certification of President Biden’s electoral victory through unlawful means.'"
"Despite all of those damning findings, Wallace ruled on narrow grounds that Trump should remain on Colorado’s ballot because the constitution’s insurrectionist ban apparently doesn’t apply to presidents."
Analyse: Chinas CO₂-Emissionen werden nach letztem Höchstwert ab 2024 sinken
In China boomt der Ausbau der Solar- und Windenergie. Das könnte dafür sorgen, dass die CO₂-Emissionen schon bald sinken – mit möglicherweise globalen Folgen.

Studie: CO₂-Emissionen digitaler Technologien steigen bis 2030 um 50 Prozent
Forscher prognostizieren, dass allein die bei Nutzung von KI, Streaming & Co. verursachten CO₂-Ausstöße bis 2030 auf fast 20 Millionen Tonnen ansteigen.
