5.2 kWh? kW means nothing for a battery.

What? Just do both. I don't follow your logic.

There's a course that's been required for engineering degrees at my university for some years about sustainable development, in which they even mention collapse.

Of course almost nobody gives a fuck or even go to class.

By saying "only regulations on industry can save us now", you're placing your faith on a top-down system which has already failed us.

The article claims the bottom 90% produce an average of 2.76 tCO2/year. That's still twice too much. Again, I did not the say the billionaires and corporations were not partly responsible. But what makes the billionaires and corporations rich and able to do so are the consumers paying for it.

To blame everything on someone else is choosing what's most convenient for you. It's wrong and self-centered. If you're saying "someone is doing worse than me, hence I have no reason to improve myself", then everyone but the worst won't change. The correct mentality is "I will act in such a way that if everyone were to do the same, everything would work out" (also known as the categorical imperative).

Why do you think the oil & gas industry exists? To satisfy the needs of consumer. The industry isn't just burning oil just to fuck the climate up. It all comes down to the consumer.

Now about carbon footprint. The Paris agreement aims to limit global warming to 1.5ºC. To do, we collectively have to emit less than 250 Gt (from the start of 2023). That means each of the 8 billion persons on the planet get a 1.16 t/year budget until 2050, and then zero.

You cannot reach this footprint while eating meat like the average American does. You cannot reach it by keeping driving, or even owning a car. You cannot just hope anymore to keep same lifestyle, which was only made affordable by an era of cheap fossil energy.

Of course you can keep blaming other in all caps text but that's not going to change anything, nor inspire change. Are the companies to blame? Sure. But companies are made by people, and are all eventually financed by the consumer. You. Me. Us.

Air conditioning inspired by Hobbits is also surprisingly effective.

What is this? Looks like a corporate neighborhood or something? It would've been much better if it had been created bottom up, by the people. Also, it seems very expensive, $1500 a month for 1 bedroom apartments. I applaud the concept but the execution is just bad.

To put this in perspective, 250 Gt at the start of 2023 means each of the 8 billion persons on the planet get a 2.6 t/year budget if we collectively reach net zero in 2035, and a 1.16 t/year budget for 2050.

Moreover, to be fair to underdeveloped countries, it would make sense for them to have a larger allowance of this budget given that they are the farthest from having the infrastructure needed to get rid of fossil fuels while ensuring quality of life.

Considering population is still growing, that the current global average (per the article data) is around 5 t/year/person, and that this average is also still growing, we can all see that's not happening.

Can't ducks fly though? How do you keep a bird that flies?

The taste was pretty faint actually in the caramel, but once you tasted it you couldn't untaste it. My dad couldn't taste it apparently and so ended up having the whole jar to himself.

My dad made dulce de leche a couple times with expired milk. The milk tasted horrible, like blue cheese. The dulce de leche tasted horrible in the exact same way.
