Global support for one of the cheapest and most powerful climate actions is accelerating—and it couldn't come at a more urgent time.
tl;dr: Cutting methane emissions (that is, waste methane from flaring, leaks, etc) is starting to gain government/multilateral attention.
"the short term climate impact would be equivalent to eliminating 225 million metric tons of carbon dioxide every year or canceling Pakistan's emissions"

Even if we ‘solve’ global warming, we face an older, slower problem. Waste heat could radically alter Earth’s future
tl;dr: Physicist writes that, even in the best case scenario for net-zero, the heat our society generates will still be a serious problem in the future.
This will very quickly go the same way as IRC. The spirit of Eris lives again on ActivityPub.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EFnet
IRC is a plaintext chat system which was originally decentralised and federated. Technically decentralisation and federation is still perfectly possible in the IRC protocol. Nobody does it so freely any more, ever since the Eris Free Net decided to go its own way because it made sense to do so.
It achieved this by blocking any IRC server that is connected to the Eris server.
In this case it wasn't political - it was due to spam, flamewars, and organisational problems (what I just called 'the spirit of Eris'). If you throw politics in there (or rather the fact that these days moderators are accustomed to seeing political views they already agree with on the Internet), I think it just will accelerate things towards defederation, or federation with only people we seem to agree with (read: easy to moderate).
