"Watershed, a platform specializing in corporate sustainability, announced on May 22 the public release of its global carbon data archive, the Comprehensive Environmental Data Archive (CEDA).... Covering 148 countries, 400 industrial sectors, and representing 95% of the global GDP, CEDA aims to establish a common benchmark for measuring carbon emissions, a now essential condition for developing coherent decarbonization strategies."

#ClimateChange and #energy

We did the math on #AI’s energy footprint. Here’s the story you haven’t heard.
The #emissions from individual AI text, image, and video queries seem small—until you add up what the industry isn’t tracking and consider where it’s heading next.
The latest reports show that 4.4% of all the energy in the #US now goes toward #datacenters. The #carbon intensity of #electricity used by data centers was 48% higher than the US average.

alojapan.com/1280951/rooftop-s Rooftop solar, EV batteries could meet 85% of Japan’s energy needs #Batteries #carbon #ClimateChange #electricity #Energy&Environment #EV #Japan #JapanNews #news #solar #SolarPanels #sustainability A research team in Japan has revealed a transformative pathway for the country’s energy future, showing that combining rooftop solar panels with electric vehicle (EV) batteries could meet up to 85 percent of the nation’s electricity n…

Two English teams will compete in the #EuropaLeague final tonight. However, the entire entourage, including masses of fans, will have to migrate to #Bilbao in #Spain. Of course, #UEFA is only concerned with #profit. #Climate only plays a role insofar as it has to ensure ideal #weather so that decent revenue can be generated.

I can't calculate the #co2 #carbon footprint (surely someone can), but it must be staggering. In today's world, such a backward practice is outdated and demonstrates irresponsibility and thoughtlessness.

Global Carbon Budget

The 2024 Global #Carbon Budget projects fossil #CarbonDioxide (#CO2) emissions of 37.4 billion tonnes, up 0.8% from 2023.

Despite the urgent need to cut #emissions to slow #ClimateChange, the researchers say there is still “no sign” that the world has reached a peak in #fossil CO2 emissions.

With projected emissions from land-use change (such as #deforestation) of 4.2 billion tonnes, total CO2 emissions are projected to be 41.6 billion tonnes in 2024, up from 40.6 billion tonnes last year.
