I find the analysis baffling. BLOOM training emitted the same CO2 as a dozen NYC-SYD flights. Ignoring the fact that no such air route exists, there are 14 aircraft landing at SYD in the next hour. So the energy used by BLOOM was "none" in fact. The other top-line figure here, that "data centers and data transmission networks" use 2% of world energy is also misleading. Internet user base doubled and internet bytes traffic increased 6x over the period studied, but energy use increased by only 20% and CO2 emissions did not increase at all. This is a remarkable achievement for the industry.
