Weird, people keep telling me that all the added energy costs of the blockchain, crypto, NFTs, and training AI/LLMs over the past ten years are overblown and not contributing to climate change. It's so weird how all those things just happened to coincide with accelerated warming.

How bad things get, Rahmstorf explained, all depends on how long the planet stays above 1.5 degrees. The Greenland Ice Sheet, for example, might be salvageable if people figure out how to bring emissions down and actively cool the planet...
"actively cool the planet"
Geo engineering, or "solar radiation management," as they're calling it now. Yeah, that's right, folks. They're gonna pump sulfur dioxide, or something, into the atmosphere to cool the planet. I know it, they're going to do it. That's how they're doing to "fix" this. We can keep burning the fossil fuels that way. Burn the coal, burn the oil, burn the natural gas, it's all fine because we can just cool the climate down. It's so easy!
We are so cooked.
Another idea I've seen floated is solar shades. Which is arguably better than pumping even more shit into the atmosphere. Then there's the techbro asshats who wanted to put mirrors in orbit to shine light on solar farms through more of the day. Which like.... it's insane. Last I heard it was being shot down, so hopefully it doesn't work out for them.
