Yes, Virgina, there is a “carbon cost” to reading this post. According to Alex Wissner-Gross, a fancy Haaavaaad physicist, you’re generating about .02g of CO2 per second reading a simple text page on the internet, like mine. You evil polluter.
While I suspect that the good doctor believes he’s doing a service to mankind, I strongly […]
I ran across this story today. The main thesis is that in the face of the current gas crisis, the Europeans are re-evaluating the advice that we have given them for years, namely that relying on the Russia as their primary source of natural gas was risky.
