carbon fart

A person that is no longer in your life and basically dead to you, is a carbon fart.

David is nothing more than a carbon fart - nothing but hot air and empty promises. Can't believe he's one of my exes - what did I see in that guy?

Carboned

When you take a group photo (with the iPhone .5 lens) and one person on the end becomes warped

How did the picture come out? “Oh my, I’ve been carboned!”

I don’t want to be on the end. I might get carboned!

Carbon Skidmark

A metric to measure the actions and in-actions of powerful organisations and big business on the Climate crisis.
Used to compare the climate actions and inactions of those with power vs the everyday actions of individuals to reduce their carbon footprints.
Includes systemic actions and inactions as well as policy.

We're worried about our carbon footprints. Are those with power doing enough about their carbon skidmarks?

Carbon Tunnel Syndrome

“Carbon Tunnel Syndrome" describes the phenomenon whereby there is an overemphasis - or exclusive emphasis - on climate change, particularly carbon reduction, to the exclusion of other important sustainability issues, such as human rights, social sustainability, and equity considerations. This term conveys that the narrow focus on carbon-related aspects of sustainability may result in a "tunnel vision" effect, where other equally critical sustainability dimensions are overlooked or marginalised, potentially leading to unintended consequences or incomplete sustainability efforts.

While the focus on carbon reduction is undoubtedly critical in addressing climate change, the term "Carbon Tunnel Syndrome" communicates that an excessive or exclusive emphasis on this aspect of sustainability may result in unintended consequences. One potential implication of "Carbon Tunnel Syndrome" is that other important sustainability issues, such as social justice, human rights, labour rights, and equity considerations, may be overlooked or marginalised in sustainability efforts.
