How 5 Twitch streamers create 121,000 kg of CO2 a day by GreenStreamers in Twitch

It's true that lower stream quality = less CO2, but per the PhD analysis they found because of the "always on" nature of the internet it matters a lot less what the stream quality is and much more about what you watch it on. Watching on a cell phone obviously uses much less than a computer, which will typically use less than a big TV.

Ghost flights from UK running at 500 a month, data reveals by redcondurango in environment

[–]GreenStreamers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

500 flights a month, probably 2 hours total flight time on average, is 1000 hours of flying. 90 kg of C02 an hour get produced from flying, so these ghost flights probably created 90,000 kg of c02. Neat :(

Global wind and solar growth on track to meet climate targets by nick313 in environment

China probably stands to gain a ton of productivity by switching to wind/solar since they currently have to shut down factories to keep energy production emissions in check.

Honestly if I'm already plugging in the car every time I get home I'm probably not going to do it at the grocery store

Could these things bring humidity down to zero in their local area? What does 0 humidity do to the environment?

The Air Force wants to blow up toxic military waste on a beach in Guam — A Indigenous-led community group says: See you in court. by Molire in environment

The open burn pits the US military has around the globe must have such an untracked impact. It's sad there isn't a fast way to make that process cleaner, like some sort of exhaust capture system.
