I’ve definitely turned into the paranoid nutcase within my friend group in recent years, I hate that everything is “smart” nowadays requiring an app/internet connection & account, just to do basic things that didn’t require any of that before.

What’s some things currently making you ramble like an old man?

    Well, yes, but also no. The heat released by fossil fuels absolulety increases the total energy of the atmosphere, but the other half of a zero carbon society is that it is powered by renewable energy sources.

    If we are generating electricity by slowing down atmospheric winds or capturing sunlight incident on the planet surface, then any “waste heat” from the usage of that electricity will be energy that was already present, and therefore have no net heating effect.
