Moving away from Office and Windows and so forth is a nightmare for any larger company. If you use specialized software, it might very well only run on Windows or only have an integration into Office. Even if you could, you then have to retrain staff to use Libre Office, Linux and other alternatives. You also will have problems converting, changing servers and so forth.
So companies just do not switch. That is how Microsoft makes money. They really do not care that much about private users. That is only usefull so people can use their products.
The ClimateActionTracker website itself actually has a lot more details on individual countries, their targets and the policies they implemented. You can see by how much they miss their targrets as well. For example the US is pretty close to the 3C line.
Degrowth argues that due to resource constraints, we need to cut some production as to stay within the resource constraints of the planet, while using the resources we have to provide a good quality of life for everybody. So post-scarcity economics is seen as impossible. However cutting production does mean less work time and systemsclike UBI are seen as key to make sure cutting production does not cause unnecessary harm.
Ritchie wants to solve the global Souths problems, by growing the global economy using green technology with resource constraints not being a problem due to technology. So keeping steady to move to a post scarcity world. She does this, by looking at very real trends and believes they moszly just continue
Partly, but also genetic diversity due to geography(islands and moutain ranges for example) and the tropics just being more diverse. Just compare the Taiga with the Amazon rainforest.
Only? The Saudis own Manchester City, Qatar owns PSG. The Saudis paid Ronaldo half a billion to play in the Saudi league and he is not the only one with an insane contract. Never mind Qatar building a bunch of stadia just to host the world cup and the Saudis paying FIFA to make them host in 2034 by making Spain, Portugal, Morroco, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay hosts of the 2030 world cup.
Hollywood accounting is insane. Offically all movies loose money.
Exactly you can use the railing to hang on the outside. Greater speed and much more fun.
Because in Europe you are pretty much always on or near somebodies property.
The Bin Laden group is currently working on building the tallest building in the world in Saudi Arabia right now.
This is key. The narrative: “The right wing takes away your workers rights and blaims migrants on it” actually works to convince other people, since it is in fact true.
You can make it wild as well, with a moss graffiti: https://thursd.com/articles/the-art-of-moss-graffiti-and-how-to-do-it-yourself
The pathways between the floating houses and the houseboat need to float as well and need a connection to the land, which is variable in height. Something like this would be normal. Also some railing to prevent folks from falling into the water. At least for those more permanent structures.
Also some greenery in the city part would be nice. Maybe turn one of the dolphins into a cypress tree.
And this is actually a problem in Italy, where a lot of villages have very narrow streets, which make it impossible to fit through it with a wide car.
At least in Europe, there are a few big reasons. First and foremost combustion engines are more profitable. EV require a lot of R&D and factory investment, which is not needed for old school combustion engines. The other part is a shrinking car market. Covid means a lot more work from home and at least in Europe, you generally have the option of doing a lot of things on foot, bicycle or public transport. At the same time, when you drive less you do not go for a new car as quickly. Then you have cost. Due to supply chain issues battery prices have not fallen quickly enough. There was a bit of time, when they were stable. Good news is that they are falling again.
In other words, this is a difficult transition and some car makers are going to fail.
And the opposing argument is that the reduction of badges for NGOs from Western Europe et al. effectively makes it so that the governments of the countries with the largest emissions can control who gets to observe the conference from their respective countries. [
Not really the EU is at 6.2% of global greenhouse gas emissions and the UK at 0.76%. ](https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/share-global-ghg-emissions?tab=table) The more realistic reason is that Western Europe is rich, but also has a lot of different countries. So a lot of NGOs, which have enough money to actually go to COP. Still unfair though.
So what you are saying is that men who ride bikes are more fertile?
Global emissions are still growing. That is due to global energy consumption growing faster then global renewable production increases. To avoid climate change, we have to not only increase renewable production, but also reduce energy consumption. We have to replace 139PWh of fossil fuel energy as quickly as possible. Last year we added 2PWh of new fossil fuels to the mix, but only 1.48PWh of wind, nuclear and solar. So just stopping the growth of fossil fuel energy production, would help more then all the clean energy we add.
However a fully clean energy system is possible. It is just a matter of getting to it quickly enough.
In Germany you only have to use a crosswalk, if it is within 30m of where you want to cross, or 40m in case of a traffic light. Otherwise you can cross wherever you want. Obviously you got to do so in a safe manner.
