[The #SpaceIndustry in the 21st century] In order to comply with the #ParisAgreements, the space industry must reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 7% per year. To this end, new low-carbon #technologies must be developed, and priority given to major space missions aiming to revolutionize our #scientific knowledge.

These two areas of development are called #decarbonization and #frugality. Eleven French researchers, including @didier_barret, Olivier Berné, @jknodlseder and Aurélie Marchaudon from IRAP, detail their possible implementation in the French space sector: “Towards sustainable space research in France”: nature.com/articles/s41550-025

fossil fuels, we can limit global #heating to 1.5 °C (on average) above pre-industrial levels and mitigate the increasingly severe consequences of climate change. #Canada is a signatory to the Paris Agreement, and as such we should embrace our collective commitment to reduce greenhouse gas #emissions, in alignment with the #IPCC’s #scientific recommendations. Expanding fossil fuel #infrastructure would contradict our #international commitments and contribute to disastrous stresses on the...

Acc/to another informed source of #AFP, "hate & conspiracy messages" were blamed on the French researcher by #US authorities. An #FBI investigation into him was announced, for which "the charges have been abandoned," continues this source.

…This incident comes as… #Trump has increased his shocking announcements targeting the #scientific community (brutal #BudgetCuts, #censorship of certain subjects in subsidized research...).

@silentexception of course I understand #GenAI and #quantumcomputing are not the same but #Microsoft is trying to sell both in the same manner by making unfounded claims about usefulness, efficiency, etc. and trying to debunk #scientific fact. It is all #marketing and #altenatefacts that are driving the world rught now and that is becoming a #criminal pattern. We need CEOs (and presidents for that matter) to be made liable and face severe penalties for misleading the consumer (ie. civilians) imo
