“This temperature corresponds to 0 degrees Fahrenheit, so it was “probably a round, easy number to remember”

That’s what Allouche and team will be working on next, as they build their research summary into a full report, to be published in September 2024. “These findings give good reasons for ‘3 degrees of change’ to be further explored,” Allouche says.

      • “carbon footprint” was invented by corps specifically to shift blame away from them onto consumer shoulders
      • “consuming sustainably” only works when corps aren’t actively promoting artificial scarcity and manufactured demand
        • where “consuming sustainably” does work is for your own peace of mind

      Wow, full bootlicker.

      Telling young people to downgrade their lifestyle without asking corporations to take accountability.

      Putting shareholder value above human value.

          No we wouldn’t. If the biggest polluters do nothing we don’t stop climate change.

          And we all need shelter, food, water, and clothing. We can’t stop consumption from corporations altogether.

          Agriculture, construction, manufacturing, and transport are inevitable continuations. We can only do so much by voting with our wallets. We need to vote at the ballot box for regulation and laws.

              Looking at that rant. I’m pretty sure I have a lower carbon footprint than you.

              In fact my decisions at work probably put me in a negative carbon bracket. I’ve certainly reduced many people’s carbon footprint by more than my personal footprint can ever be.

              Although I may make myself some steak and avocado toast now you’ve mentioned it, so the daily total will take a hit. Never had steak on toast before.

              Both our carbon footprints are a rounding error. The only thing we can do to affect climate change is vote people in who will do something about it, protest.

              I’ve not flown anywhere in 18 years. I might or might not fly somewhere on holiday soon. But if I do fly I’ll sleep soundly.

              You on the other hand have probably done nothing to reduce anyone’s carbon footprint except your own and it’s still multiple times the average of an individual globally speaking.

              Use the power you have to do something, even if it’s just voting. Don’t rant at people on the internet who don’t live in a hut on the equator living off their own small holding.

          You’re talking to people that think the economy is only money made by rich people. It’s not the goods they buy at the store, shipping or storing those goods. Or the industries that make trucks, trains and planes to deliver them. Just CEO profits.

          The fuck did you expect?

          But most frozen and refrigerated food is not in people’s homes but in commercial food production warehouses and grocery stores. Without refrigeration a massive portion of food produced today would go bad as well, it would require an entire change of how food is produced and processed to remove refrigeration. Even produce you buy at the store at room temperature is refrigerated or frozen for days or weeks before it’s sold.
