  • Carbon neutral means you try to "offset" your carbon. It's half scam, half helpful. The idea is if your company produces an unavoidable amount of carbon, you offset this by supporting Carbon-free solutions elsewhere making your net production "neutral". It's a scam because sometimes the offset is stuff that was never going to produce carbon, and also because using other areas to claim "neutral" causes a weird double count. Carbon neutral is less good of a solution than carbon free, but it's a step in the right direction.

    However, target year of 2050?? Fucking what? That's not something to brag about, that's painfully and embarrassingly slow. That's embarrassingly slow to be carbon free, much less carbon neutral.

  • It messes with a ton of my common actions and doesn't make them better. Things being hidden behind weird actions now. Some of it will just require me to get used to it, but some of it seems genuinely more cumbersome to perform.

  • I mean, yes, but a lot of them also think it's a conspiracy where world leaders are trying to vaccinate everyone because ??? Those types will start avoiding ultrasound to not get tricked into getting vaccinated.

  • I'm guessing Microsoft fits in basically having seen an opportunity and swept in. I doubt they have any "angle" in this other than "oh shit big name tech guy just lost his job and he's skilled in stuff we want to be skilled in? grab him now"
