We create 40kg of CO2 a day each through our diet, transport, consumption and other energy use. The idea we need to target our energy burden on Internet routers

We create 40kg of CO2 a day each through our diet, transport, consumption and other energy use. The idea we need to target our energy burden on Internet routers is absurd.
- worldofmatthew 4y ago14 tons per year is pretty high. Most calculators estimate my usage at 6 tons per year.
- lozenge 4y agoThe US average is 15 metric tons and that's production-based, ie counting exports and not counting imports. If you count imports and stop counting exports it would be higher. Now the US does rank highly in this measure but that's also where the 'typical' HN reader is. The typical reader is also well off which can make a huge difference(flights etc).
- docmars 4y agoI lament the day this becomes policy to regulate average internet usage due to a few religious fanatics who fail to understand that higher levels of CO2 enrich the Earth, and that science has been sabotaged to suit political ambitions fueled by fear porn.
