I was casually scrolling through @ZuckJet (Zuckerberg’s private jet’s flights) and of course I got mad for the absurd amount of pollution one asshole can generate, but then I started asking myself: “what’s this place in Bozeman, Montana he flies to so frequently?”

I looked it up, and the answer I got is even more infuriating.

How could we, as humanity, allow places like this to exist and be accepted as normal?

‘Used like taxis’: Soaring #PrivateJet flights drive up climate-heating emissions

"Analysis of 19m flights between 2019 and 2023 reveals 50% rise in #emissions, condemned as ‘gratuitous waste’."

Also: Why "efficiency gains" are bullshit:
"Industry expectations are that another 8,500 business jets will enter service by 2033, far outstripping efficiency gains and indicating that private flight emissions will rise even further."

Is a public account, using public data, that tracks a celebrity jet (Elon Musk, Taylor Swift, Bill Gates etc) “stalking”, providing a "public service”, or is a benign ”curiosity”?

@gerrymcgovern We're so accustomed to turning on the faucet and there being groundwater, but once it's gone, it's gone. It would be great if the cash laden tech companies would seriously invest in and expand desalination, as well as wind and solar power to service these data centers.

Long rant ahead:

They are not serious with their #carbonoffsets . But, if we can get the #VotingRightsAct passed in the United States, #WeThePeople could potentially vote out any and all who support corporate interests over the environment and human health, and vote in people who are willing to legislate to protect the environment.

I only mention legislation, because I don't believe corporations do anything not for profit, unless legally mandated.

Superfluous things like massive data centers for frivolous things like #AI and #privatejet travel should be heavily regulated and taxed to pay for the infrastructure that humanity will need to survive climate change. The private jet class should not be able to get ocean front views in Pittsburgh when they're the reason the views might exist.

I'm so tired of these topics not being seriously covered by mainstream media when we are facing a #doomsdayclock on climate change.

Yale E360As Water Scarcity Increases, Desalination Plants Are on the RiseAfter decades of slow progress, desalination is increasingly being used to provide drinking water around the globe. Costs for processing salt water for drinking water have dropped, but it remains an expensive option and one that creates environmental problems that must be addressed.
