Google and CO2
Turns out, Google thinks that the average search uses .2 grams of CO2...
That is only slightly less than the previous "researcher's" estimate of 7 grams, right?...

Welcome to Eric Charnesky's blog!
As an IT professional and student I come across a multitude of interesting articles that I can't resist sharing. Leave a comment or email me at EricCharnesky@gmail.com
So, if a Google search uses an estimated 0.2-7 grams of CO2... How much CO2 did you use generating this post? Or more importantly did you consider the ramifications of posting this on your blog and the translation of CO2 usage by the unknowing respondents??
ReplyDeleteI figured I would offset the CO2 usage by trying hard not to breathe throughout my day...
