Fancy buzzwords fascinate me.

Professional or Operator?
Most thinking of BIM careers believe a software is the break. But software operation is becoming 0 value in industries. Build core construction knowledge and skill in solutions to its real problems, across software. This intellect is value, not labour.

[Kinshuk Aggarwal @kinshuk31]

Conquer fear of delayed gratification.
Pick architectural knowledge over pay for 3 years. Bad for ego, great for prospects. Prioritise knowledge base at the start, which compounds rewards later. Wining big pay today that flattens out for subpar skill in 5 years is wasted time.

@redcliffelab @CMODelhi @MoHFW_INDIA @SatyendarJain You clearly have no idea what you're doing. No status update almost 48 hours later. This is how testing is being done. We're just waiting 2 days for the results. S**t private lab. @PMOIndia @MoHFW_INDIA

[Kinshuk Aggarwal @kinshuk31]

I got an RT-PCR test done from @redcliffelab day before and there is no update on the report yet. The helpline number gives a different response everytime. Morning they say report is ready, half n hour later that its not. What a joke.

@redcliffelab @CMODelhi @MoHFW_INDIA @SatyendarJain I've shared the booking ID. Its now been almost 48 hours since the sample was collected. And we paid 700 rupees for it, instead of the capped 500.

The fix for more sustainable and livable cities starts with your garden. Privately owned gardens make up 35 and 86 per cent of a city's total green space. A city's pollution, temperature & noise levels can all be positively affected by your green space https://t.co/Q9z66Br06J

“Balancing a CO2 emission with a CO2 removal of the same size would result in higher atmospheric CO2 than avoiding the CO2 emission in the 1st place.”

Recent findings challenge the assumption “one tonne in equals one tonne out.”

With a current emission trajectory of 2.7°C, France needs to do more to align with the goals of the #ParisAgreement.

Companies must commit to 1.5°C targets. 🎯

In 2015, junking the National Solar Mission’s target of boosting India’s solar power capacity to 20 GW by 2022, PM Modi said his government would hit 100 GW instead.

Close to six years later, India is nowhere near that target. | @mrajshekhar reports

Companies wanting to achieve net-zero carbon emissions are being hampered by confusing jargon and inaccurate information, according to @thecarbontrust.

At this point, we need removal over and above reduction and negation. Just removing what's been emitting is not nearly enough. #netzero2050 #carbonemission #ClimateAction

[Robert McSweeney @rtmcswee]

This is a really interesting piece – why emitting CO2 and then removing it isn’t the same as just not emitting the CO2 in the first place:

[International Energy Agency @IEA]

Our pathway to net zero brings substantial new opportunities for employment, with 14 million clean energy supply jobs created by 2030.

But careful policy attention is needed to minimise hardships for workers in fossil fuel sectors where jobs are lost 👉 https://t.co/SexwiHm8bV
