@selzero @hermannus there are too many dimensions here, indeed. In terms of local particle matter exhaust, electrical cars are then better...

The true pricing movement tries to calibrate all nefarious effects into money, but this probably also very debatable.

We just have to wait for AGI to help us out 😂

@selzero @hermannus it seems that only very visual or simple actions attract attention when we think about energy use and/or climate. My issue is that we do not actually look at the real quantitave impact and put it in perspective.

For instance, take GenAI. One query generates some 5 grams of carbon. That is the same as 25 meters driving in an average traditional car, which most people don't even think about. But using GenAI draws so much more attention. Like a straw puppet, indeed...

Wow! A whopping 801 partners all care about my privacy on this website! I really feel very comfortable now

@BarneyDellar @koteisaev @GreenSkyOverMe ... Where Wikipedia tells me that one pace actually involved two footsteps - hence a mile would be appr 1500 meters (and not ~750..900m as I initially thought)

@selzero that's a nice read. As a European, I'm always puzzled at first by the use of the term 'liberal'. At least in NL, liberals are considered as centre at best, but usually more as conservative. The 'lefties' are called 'progressive' in stead.

Or maybe, when comparing EU and US, the centre is also different?
