CadeJohnsonI joined a great community - Off grid Living, and eventually became a moderator there. That led to a moderation job with Artificial Intelligence community. Both communities were venues for some fascinating conversations that have shifted my …2- CadeJohnsonWhen you say that we should "fund clean energy", who will be the arbiter of which technologies to fund?

- CadeJohnsonWhat is the logic of providing credits at all? Why not just tax emissions and let the market sort out which economic activities are most favored? I think credits would create a kind of shelter for some unfavorable economic activities. Consider: I …

- CadeJohnsonLol - well taxes are not a joy, but they are necessary sometimes. Yes, I want everyone to be taxed for their carbon footprint. The taxing itself is necessary to shift demand into lower carbon ways of living. You bet if the price of fuel suddenly …1
- CadeJohnsonYou are often correct about social media being inane, but I find it very useful to kick around new ideas in off-grid living, dealing with climate change, and puzzling out the disturbing conclusions of modern physics. These are each, in their way …1

- CadeJohnsonhttps://medium.com/@cade.johnson.iii/carbon-ddf646ca7921 This essay I posted on Medium explores the idea of carbon-dioxide-equivalence which seems to be confusing to many. I noticed in the process of researching that "carbon dioxide" is a …
- CadeJohnsonMy wife and I each have a Kindle Fire (HD 8) and they get steady use. We both use them as ebook readers and I play some (stupid) games on them. Most days I also read the Washington Post via their app. For anything that requires typing or otherwise …1
- CadeJohnsonat one time, I would have agreed with the sentiment to stop talking to them. But now that I live in Latin America, I realize that we are social creatures foremost. Therefore, the proper course is not to stop talking, but rather (with one's mouth …1
- CadeJohnsonMy mother taught psychiatric nursing and for a few years she was director of a state mental hospital. So my youth was salted with stories of the occasional noteworthy troubled minds that she encountered. Although this has given me a good bit of …1

- CadeJohnsonDo all the carbon footprints add up to the total carbon emission, or can carbon footprints be attributable in a way that allows comparisons from many points of view? Specifically, can an IDEA have a carbon footprint? Aside from their …2
- CadeJohnsonmy carbon footprint estimate for dogfood is admittedly lame: it is really difficult to discover what is IN dogfood, and if it is animal byproduct, is the carbon footprint of the consumer meat product already covering the carbon cost of the …2
