So, an absolutely negligible amount of CO2?
By virtually any metric? i.e., you, as an individual, exhale that much CO2 in a week.
Hold industrial processes responsible for CO2 emissions, not your website. (Unless you're bitcoin, I guess?)
- anonporridge 6y agoThis kind of penny wise and pound foolish approach just seems like a waste of time at best and at worst it lulls voters into complacency and distracts from the fact that our politicians still aren't doing anywhere close to enough to address carbon emissions. It's just PR and corporate greenwashing. Like everything else, the best approach is just to use a mix of regulation, renewable subsidies, and a carbon tax to make using fossil fuels cost prohibitive compared to renewables and the market will eliminate them on its own. The wider the cost difference becomes, the faster renewables will displace carbon energy. We're getting there slowly as wind and solar are now slightly cheaper than carbon fuels, but we should definitely be helping it along a lot faster if we're serious about avoiding the worst case climate scenarios. So far, it seems like we aren't serious about it and our leadership is sleepwalking us towards increasing catastrophe.
