This seems to presume things about energy or resource use that we have no empirical evidence of. Making things more efficient makes them cheaper to use and make, leading to a total increase in demand of the resource: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jevons_paradox https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jevons_paradox The only way to decrease the heating of the climate is to make heating it up more expensive. Or make people go to prison. Making more efficient use of our computers will lead to more computers being produced and more energy being used to run them.
