“Nah, we what we need is more data centers powered by giant gas turbines!” ~fucking billionaires.
But don’t you understand? The data centres will create way more than 18% efficiency improvements which will result in way more than 18% in emissions reductions!
– Billionaires probably
So, we’re fucked then. 🥲
COVID gave me some hope that we’d be able to wrestle this out but nope … no way in hell now.
I love these articles with percentages and timelines that will not even be attempted.
Itll be ‘25% in 3 years’ then 30% in 2 years etc etc too I’d imagine at our current pace
Narrator: We didn’t.
I’m sure we will.
Emissions will probably drop pretty significantly after World War 3.
Outside of a technological breakthrough to “clean up”, we’re doomed.
And the ocean is already doomed. Within the next fifty years or so there will be a global ecological collapse of the ocean, killing all vertebrates. Then the largest famine humanity has seen will follow. Within 150-200 years all animal life, save for small pockets here and there, will be gone from the oceans.
This has happened several times before when CO2 levels shot up, but it never went up this fast.
I really wish I didn’t have kids.
