Milk's hidden carbon bill is bigger than advertised as damaged grass and soils drive emissions higher https://phys.org/news/2026-04-hidden-carbon-bill-bigger-advertised.html

Milk's hidden carbon bill is bigger than advertised as damaged grass and soils drive emissions higher
Livestock farming causes a significant share of the world's greenhouse gas emissions. According to a new study, the carbon footprint of milk may be considerably larger than commonly calculated when carbon released from the soil is also considered. The work is published in The International Journal of Life Cycle Assessment.

🍺 Produire de la bière avec l'un des meilleurs bilans carbone du marché : voici comment on s'y prend à la Brasserie du Slalom. L'essentiel de notre énergie vient du renouvelable. Mais au-delà de la source, c'est quand on consomme qui change tout. Le principe est simple : la production photovoltaïque est maximale en journée. C'est donc le moment où l'énergie est la plus abondante… et la moins chère. Notre installation est pilotée pour caler nos process énergivores sur ces cr�…

How the Carbon Footprint Made Us Small
We’re taught to shrink our impact to prove we care. But what if the point isn’t to disappear—it’s to become dangerous to the system, not to ourselves?

I now compute my rolling 12 month utility energy carbon footprint using hourly grid imports/exports and hourly grid intensity:
Total kgCO2e over last 12 full calendar months: -37
Per month kgCO2e for each of last 12 full calendar months: -42 -43 -40 -8 11 27 42 52 28 -2 -22 -40

The environmental toll of the artificial intelligence boom continues to mount
as tech companies use ever more power to run their data centers
and enormous amounts of water for cooling.
A new investigation by U.N. scientists warns that AI’s water use in 2030 will match the needs of 1.3 billion people,
while its power use will be triple that of Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nigeria combined
— countries with a total population of 650 million.

Saravanan talks to us about making greener tech.
Everyone else is burning fuel for ai like mad but Saravan wants to make things greener instead.
3% or so of greenhouse emissions are from IT. More than flying.
Cloud providers claim to be carbon neutral but this is changing with ai centers and often software written for them aren't used most of the time.
Green Software Foundation thinks software can be greener and offers courses and a profiler to tell you the carbon footprint of your code.
We can write for carbon efficiency. Electricity and hardware manufacturing included.
Power usage effectiveness can be calculated. How much is wasted on cooling vs compute, say.
Do your compute when solar is in excess instead of during times the power network is burning oil. Or do it in countries with greener grids.
Support older user hardware. Extend the life of end user devices.
Can't help feeling like these efforts are going to be drowned out by everyone else here burning tokens like there's no tomorrow. Which maybe will ensure there is indeed no tomorrow.
