I appreciate the idea of fighting climate change with a virtue-signalling HTTP header that will be promptly thrown away by endpoints, but still has to be carried along by every intermediary on the network path.
- schroeding 4y agoEstimating the climate impact of the additional traffic caused by the Carbon-Emissions-Scope-2 headers and calculation of the Scope 2 values vs. caused change of behaviour (if there is any) is a paper / thesis waiting to happen, should this ever become a standard.
- igetspam 4y agoHow do we calculate the carbon emissions generated by all the discarded carbon emissions fields? Might I propose a new header? Total-Emissions-from-Virtue-Signal-Headers Surely that'll fix it! I'm all for awareness but I cannot see this being anything other than pointless.
