If this is satire, the Babylon Bee has some competition.

If not satire, insanity is spreading.

Just for that, I’m adding a second email signature...

[butlerweave]

windows update is now carbon aware ,LOL

[Farmerbob]

American Indians used smoke signals. What was their climate change impact?

[asinclair]

The author needs to show his work. The “cost” of an e-mail signature is nothing compared to the cost of viewing a streamed movie, video, or news site. If his claim is true, then OnlyFans and TikToc are serial killers.

It looks like AI is attempting some humor.

So paper is bad and IT is bad.
These are the tools that say humans are a scourge on the earth and most of us should die in order for “Mother Earth” to recover. They can live though. It’s just the rest of us honkeys.

[notdownwidems]

lol no way am I clicking on this ‘The Conversation’ site...no telling what kind of DUMP-style kookiness you might not be able to unsee!

"Emails use energy, and that energy often comes from burning fossil fuels, which in turn, contribute to increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide levels."

So get in your cars, people, and deliver your message face to face. Or FedEx it.

I actually like this news.

Tell Gen Z leftists that Earth is being murdered by cell phones and social media.

Then wait for them to give up their cell phones and social media.

And wait...

[blitz128]

Yes in person signing on paper, fax, mailing much better😂

[Alas Babylon!]

Like old time telegrams?

Saw sub, sank same

You can’t give these people an inch. Everything, and I mean everything, can and will be declared impermissible by them if we allow it.

For every email signature, a flower grows.

What if that 1000 tons of “additional carbon” comes from the manufacture of a life saving drug?

[Sequoyah101]

This guy is an educated fool or psycho.

[The Duke]

This is laughable - imagine the pollution saved by a single Zoom meeting that replaces what was once endless time spent flying around the world.

[alexander_busek]

To quantify the human cost of carbon-emitting technology, researchers use the 1,000-ton rule that estimates that for every 1,000 tons of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere, one person dies prematurely.

The question is: How prematurely?

Five years earlier than he would otherwise have died?!

Five months?!

Five minutes?!

Maybe they mean that one thousand new-borns would have their remaining life-expectancy shortened by one-tenth of one percent. That would be approx. four weeks.

This is insane!

NOTE: The volanco Kīlauea, located on the Big Island of Hawai'i, emits approximately 10,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide per day.

That means that TEN PEOPLE die every day because of that volcano!

Shouldn't the Volcano Lodge (hotel) on the lip of the crater, where tourists stay so they can gawk at the fountains of lava, be required to pay a tax? And the postcard manufacturers who sell picture postcards of the eruption? Should they have to pay a surcharge?

In the neverending chain of what-ifs...what if there is a threshold, and a warming of, say, 1.7 °C instead of 2.0 °C causes NO EXCESS DEATHS AT ALL? (Just as possible as any other scenario at this point.) Are these freaks going to apologize and pay reparations for all the chaos they have caused along the way?
