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.

Tunnel banger

(noun) Circa 1994-2000, a record—often hardcore and aggressive—that whipped the crowd into a frenzy during the prime-time hour after 1 a.m. at the NYC club's Sunday-night party.
"To truly understand the definition of a "Tunnel banger," you first need to know about The Tunnel itself. Peter Gatien's NYC nightclub was a hotspot for house music and techno in the early '90s, but it wasn't until the creation of a Sunday-night party called "Mecca" that the Tunnel would cement its place in hip-hop lore. When Funkmaster Flex took over the party's prime-time slot—roughly 1 a.m. to 2:30 a.m.—in the mid-'90s, the "Tunnel banger" was born."
"I'd play a record on the air and say it was the new Tunnel banger."

Eisenhower Tunnel Challenge

The act of jacking off from start to finish while passing through the westbound Eisenhower Tunnel or eastbound Johnson Tunnel. The tunnels are located along Interstate 70 high in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. The tunnels deeply penetrate the hard mountain rock in order to cross the continental divide. The tunnels are just long enough to make jacking off feasible but are far too short for the experience to be enjoyable. Male travelers frequently pitch a pants tent involuntarily while making the voyage due to the altitude. This can be used to the participant’s advantage.

Female travelers may also participate by Jilling their way through the dimly lit tunnel. It is uncertain if any attempt have been made at this time.

There is debate whether team plays are allowed or if it is a solitary activity. Similarly, some still believe that the challenge is not completed unless the jacking or jilling is done while operating the vehicle.
A.A.ron: I finally did it!

Lee-yah: did what?

A.A.ron: the Eisenhower tunnel challenge! Had to stop in Silverthorne to get the mess off my steering wheel and then get some new Nikes!

Lee-yah: OMG that’s great! But weren’t you driving with your mom and grandma???
