Even worse when you look at (a) Google's climate target and (b) the trajectory if it just *continues* current growth (imagine if it accelerates....) Google's carbon *intensity* is rising, which is a key story: it isn't just 'more customers'. Their wastefulness and inefficiency is worsening!
How much of the current levels of warming could be attributed to big techs, their data centers and all the crypto mining if things were correctly reported?
Did you see this convenient insanity from the former Google CEO: "the demand is infinite even assuming [meeting climate goals]"... "we're not going to get there with conservation"..."we're not going to hit the climate goals anyway". youtu.be/oC46CzxT750?...
