Environment Variables Podcast | Ep 40 TWiGS: Complex Carbon Accounting with Gaël Duez - Video

On this episode of Environment Variables, Chris Adams is joined by fellow
podcast host of the Green IO podcast Gaël Duez. Together they will cover the
complexity of carbon accounting, new patents around carbon aware programming
from Microsoft, and the flight of climate nerds from Twitter / X.com or
whatever we’re calling it these days. Finally they share some exciting events
from the world of Green Software including some upcoming events and we find
out exactly why Gaël is a real-life bond villain!
