The Helsinki declaration https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declaration_of_Helsinki

Is the reference for health sciences these days.

In several European countries, plastic is sorted to be used in incinerators for local heat production.

Sure, it doesn't count as renewable nor carbon-free energy, but it gets rid of the waste and makes double use of the oil extracted.

C'est top. Une intégration a nextcloud pourrais démultiplier l'impact. En tous cas je voir comment faire....

No, there were credible academic studies back in 2012 that explained the Arabs Spring revolts by climate change, leaving countryside communities unable to sustain their mode of life.

Agreed.

Our modern social apparatus: education, health, police, justice... contributes about 1.4 teqCO2/person/year. Just our breathing, for a single person, emits about 350kg of CO2/year. This carbon we breath out is accounted for from our food. But you have to understand that it is the absolute minimum a living human being can emit.

Now, that leaves about 250kg eqCO2/person/year for everything else: housing, heating, leisure, traveling, clothing... if we think we need to stay under 2t eqCO2. This completely impossible.

Whereas if we were half as many, like 50 years ago, 4t/person/year still enables us to live a modern life.

While there is some truth in this, humans and AI do not make the same type of mistakes with hands.

Humans will rebuild the topological structure of the hand: 5 fingers protruding from a base, and get the proportions wrong..while the topology is credible.

AI will rebuild the image of a hand from the 2d appearance of a hand: a variable number of flesh colored, parallel stripes, and improvise from that.

While both can get it wrong, the errors are not similar.

Python is actually a good example of this: see the mess that the transition from 2.6 to 3 generated.

If it works out like in the "Servant of the people" TV show that launched Zelensky drive, they will be remain unscathed.

Renewables will inevitably become cheaper than fossil fuels, as the resource dwindles. The problem is how to make energy abundant enough to satisfy our current needs and those of the rest of the world, who expects to reach our standards of living?

(A: it's not possible, nuclear can help, but only for a while, perhaps enough time for the demographic transition to complete)

In general, the price of a good in a competitive market is directly tied to its energy cost (either manual or machine labor), which is itself tied to its carbon footprint. If something is more expensive, it is very likely that its production emitted more GHG, or that you're getting scammed.

As an exemple, beef is more expensive than chicken, which is itself more expensive than vegetables.

That's why the best personal action to save on GHG emissions is still to become poorer/reduce your material comfort. Compensate with richer interactions with others and a sense of community.
