“All of humanity could share a prosperous, equitable future but the space for development is rapidly shrinking under pressure from a wealthy minority of ultra-consumers, a groundbreaking study has shown.”

David Ho (davidho@mastodon.world)'s status on Monday, 26-Aug-2024 16:25:35 JST David Ho 🙄 No miracle particle holds the key to solving climate change.
We've got to do a bunch of things we already know how to do, including switching to renewables, increasing energy efficiency, and stopping bullshit emissions of greenhouse gases.

If it were sold by Gilead for $40 per year, it would still yield them a 30% profit. But I guess that’s not how capitalism works.

In 2023, it removed just 921 tonnes.
That's a time machine that takes us back 0.7 seconds in a year. 🥲

The situation on the ground, although dire, is more nuanced.”

David Ho (davidho@mastodon.world)'s status on Tuesday, 14-May-2024 07:46:45 JST David Ho Is this a safe space to point out that the largest direct air capture plant in the world — designed to remove 36,000 tonnes of CO₂ each year — is a time machine that takes us back 28 seconds in a year? 🥲

David Ho (davidho@mastodon.world)'s status on Wednesday, 10-Apr-2024 00:22:05 JST David Ho “A new study of more than 45,000 water samples around the world found that ~31% of groundwater samples tested that weren’t near any obvious source of contamination had #PFAS levels considered harmful to human health by the Environmental Protection Agency.
“High levels of exposure to some PFAS chemicals have been linked to higher cholesterol, liver and immune system damage, hypertension & pre-eclampsia
during pregnancy, as well as kidney & testicular cancer.” -
