What is #emission?

Emission is when new tokens are minted in a digital economy in the form of cryptocurrencies, adding to the supply.

#tokenomics #tutorial #web3 Image
In most digital economies, token emissions happen on a predetermined basis over a set period of time.
For example, @dYdX’s potential 2% annual inflation starting 5 years after launch.

Token holders can continuously decide whether to add this 2% inflation or not but it is capped at max. 2%.

E quindi, domandona del #12novembre : ma se #IFumiDelleNaviCiUccidono , possibile che le #autorità anche internazionali non intervengano a tutelare la nostra #salute?
Risposta: qualcosa si sta facendo, ma non è sufficiente.
In questo mini-thread proviamo a raccontarvi perché.
Premessa: l'attuale #normativa #ambientale emanata dall' #IMO (International Maritime Organization) divide il mondo in due aree nettamente distinte, che vedete qua sotto.
Da una parte le aree #ECA (#Emission #Control #Area) e dall'altra tutto il resto, #Mediterraneo compreso.
In sostanza, le #navi che attraversano un'area a controllo #emissioni devono utilizzare già dal 2015 (!) carburante con basso contenuto di #zolfo (massimo lo 0,1%).
Parliamo delle coste nordamericane, #Baltico, #Manica, #Mare del Nord.
Altrove il limite è 5 volte più alto (0,5%).

2019: "a person's average micro-plastic consumption is between 70,000-121,000 particles per yr & rising for those who drank bottled water closer to 100,000."

Imagine plastic inhalation/consumption for those wearing #masks for past yr. #VirtueSignalling

"Disposable face masks (single use masks) are produced from polymers such as #polypropylene, #polyurethane, #polyacrylonitrile, #polystyrene, #polycarbonate, #polyethylene, or #polyester (Potluri and Needham, 2005)."

They shed. Plastic is inhaled/ingested. By adults & #children.
"This new emergence of #facemasks as environmental litter both in the terrestrial & aquatic environment is a piece of evidence that the global pandemic has not in any way reduced the challenge of increasing #plastic #pollution in the environment."

1/Today, we launch a new project: defining & analysing a series of global & country-level #ParisAgreement-compatible #decarbonisation benchmarks, across four major sectors: #Power, #Transport, #Industry, #Buildings, each w benchmarks for several indicators bit.ly/CAT_PSR1 Image
2/ We've derived 2030 & 2050 sectoral benchmarks for seven countries: #Brazil, #China, #EU, #India, #Indonesia, #SouthAfrica, the #US, taking into account each country's technical, infrastructure & economic circumstances #decarbonisation. Summary report: bit.ly/CAT_PSRsum
3/ Our benchmarks are at a level of “highest plausible ambition" - technically, economically feasible, consider existing infrastructure, ensure they push the boundaries on all levels, & increase our chances of meeting the #ParisAgreement #1o5C limit bit.ly/CAT_PSRsum

🚜🌎💚 Land use, #farming & how this impacts on #ClimateChange is under scrutiny

Today, the Committee on Climate Change (@thecccuk) have launched their new Land Use report

What does it say, does it focus on the right things and is it ambitious enough? ow.ly/HSDC50y2HXK
@theCCCuk @UKSustain @SoilsAlliance @SusFoodTrust @LandworkersUK @FOLUCoalition @GreenerUK_ @GreenAllianceUK @WCL_News @DefraGovUK @NFUtweets The report comes at a time when #farming, #landuse and its impact on #climatechange is under the spotlight like never before.

This @theCCCuk report will be a major influence on what farmers will be rewarded for doing to adapt to climate change. ow.ly/HSDC50y2HXK
Nature must be given equal emphasis in shaping the future of post-#Brexit #farm support, as #farming and #landuse is also the primary driver of global #insect decline and the #biodiversity crash.
