"In total, bitcoin consumed nearly 1,600 billion litres of water in 2021.The 2023 figure could be more than 2,200 billion litres of water.The main reason Bitcoin uses so much water is because it relies on an enormous amount of computing power, which in turn needs huge amounts of electricity.Bitcoin is so power hungry it uses only marginally less electricity than the entire country of Poland."https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-67564205

"Women and girls should be at the centre of tackling the climate crisis but instead, our voices are silenced and we are ignored when funding is distributed.Conscious and unconscious barriers holding women back must be demolished. We are losing our lives and livelihoods due to climate change caused by rich countries and corporations. It is time for Rishi Sunak and other world leaders to listen and support women and girls.”Stephanie Akrumah,Centre for Green Growth.#COP28#ClimateAction

At COP28, the gender balance of party delegations is 62% male to 38% female.While this is an improvement on recent years, it's still nowhere near gender parity. As climate change disproportionately affects women and girls, this is a problem.#COP28 #ClimateActionhttps://www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-which-countries-have-sent-the-most-delegates-to-cop28/

"Indigenous leadership, Indigenous knowledge holders, and youth spoke with one voice demanding a rapid transition for a phase out of fossil fuels at source. Falling on deaf ears of the governments, instead more false solutions are being pushed to accelerate climate change and deforestation including carbon capture and storage, carbon markets and offsets, nature based solutions, hydrogen and nuclear power.”Tom Goldtooth,Indigenous Environmental Network.#COP28 #ClimateAction

In a bold move intended to stave off the freefalling Argentine currency market, Argentina's finance minister has ratified a bill that allows payments in Bitcoin. Or Milk*.*Note that Milk is not a new kind of cryptocurrency, you can now pay for goods and services in Argentina with actual Milk. They're living the anarcho-capitalist dream.https://www.dlnews.com/articles/regulation/miles-argentina-pay-contracts-bitcoin-says-minister/

Thanks to Argentina's new President Javier Millei's sweeping deregulation, you can now pay for goods in Pesos, Dollars, Bitcoin, whatever you like. Anything that is agreed upon is legal tender- even milk!The anarcho-capitalist dream sounds like an accountant's nightmare. But this is just the comedy tip of the iceberg for Argentina, whose economic 'reforms' seem like the craziest roll of the dice.https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20231221-argentina-s-milei-orders-huge-deregulation-of-economy
