  • High emitters (whether countries, organizations, or individuals) are often the least vulnerable, weakening direct incentives for action, while those least responsible for emissions often suffer the worst impacts.
  • Combustion of fossil fuels and large-scale land-use change have underpinned economic development over more than two centuries, creating deep path dependencies (not only economic but also material, social, cultural, and psychological).
  • Dominant economic and political interests are invested in the status quo and work hard against change.
  • Causes are also deeply embedded in wider economic and geopolitical divisions, including the historical backdrop of colonialism, imperialism, and other systemic injustices.

• 2024 toots:
  • The electricity and water use required by data centres is becoming cause for concern. Iowa and Ireland are calling for moratoriums on new development projects. Microsoft’s global water consumption grew 34% from 2021 to 2022. And estimates say that around 80% of content in data centres could be stuff we never use again, stored by default to consume energy in perpetuity for no purpose at all.
  • Denmark: @jowek@autonomous.zone “the reason of the data centers in denmark, in this case facebook in the city of Odense is: 
1)stable energy source 1.a) with high level of renewables. 2) Proximity to the backbone cables 3) Skilled workforce in the construction process (though the proces was run in a way, were there was a high level of control, and very little trust in the skilled workers..., so maybe thats a stretch) 
4) low levels of naturcatastrophes (erathqueakes etc.)
5) stable water source . The reason are laws regulating the area, so the potential expenditure from reusing the heated water, may never affect the prices. So, as i understand it, prices should be kept as low as possible and be on marketlevel and competitive, and saved energy for an economic cost is not a argument to raise prices. So the situation is that facebook have som semi-heated water, that needs further heating to be usable to send to homes, so it in reality it wont be free heating, there still needs to be heated on the water, so the result from an economic perspective is that there is no businesscase for the investment, which means it will be an expenditure in the short run, which means its not legal - even though it makes sense purely energy wise/ reality. The result is that the laws are maybe good intetions, but in a situation where investments and innovation is need, they dont make sense. And the article describe that they are rightly critized for that. 
The question is the if facebook knew that, and speculated in it, and/or in the proces has acted in a way so it would be the end result; to be stopped by those laws. 
And thats an analysis that needs to be made and documented, if so.

• June 2024: Keynote at ICT4S Conference in Stockholm by Neil Selwyn , Monash University, Australia
  • The case for digital degrowth: It is increasingly argued that we are approaching the point of ‘peak digital’, with the continued mass production and excessive consumption of digital technologies set to become a key driver of climate crisis, ecological breakdown and ongoing societal instability. In this talk, Neil Selwyn explores how degrowth thinking and alternate forms of ‘radically sustainable computing’ might support ambitions of sustainable, scaled-down and equitable ways of living with digital technologies. Drawing on the latest thinking from across the social sciences, ecological economics, political ecology, environmental justice, and computer sciences, Neil argues that degrowth thinking offers a compelling basis from which to completely rethink our digital futures in these fast-changing times.
