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.

Mâle Alpha Carbone

Cadre quinquagénaire ultra-performant qui optimise sa vie comme son vélo en carbone : plus léger, plus rapide, plus efficace.
Il affiche sa supériorité par des photos de randos cyclistes hors de prix avec ses potes corporate, avant d’upgrader sa compagne vieillissante contre une version plus fraîche (souvent une subordonnée)
Tu as vu ce que Jean-Marc a posté ? Encore une sortie vélo de 150 km avec son groupe de cadres. Ah, et il a viré sa femme pour sa stagiaire. Classique Mâle Alpha Carbone.

Person B: I did.

Person A: What did you drink?

Carbon

Carson
A boy you’ll like easily. He could be mean and rude sometimes but he will change his attitude later on. He’ll make you smile when he walks in a room and he’s funny. If your sad then he’ll be there to cheer you up. He will mess with your head and flirt with your friends sometimes but you’ll still like him. If you have a Carson in your life then be his best friend and if you like him tell him or he’ll ask someone out. Never break up with him or your stupid and you’ll regret it because he’s perfect. He is everything you’ll need funny,caring,daring,bit rude and mean,nice, and cute .
Carbon is a freaking cool dude!
