IntarToobs Too Expensive

sharrap and go watch American Idol Couric

Wissner-Gross estimates every second someone spends browsing a simple web site generates roughly 20 milligrams of C02.

..."It is part of the whole sustainability picture,”

...need to create a green Internet ecosystem is not only imperative but also urgent.

...Anti-virus software… same level of greenhouse gas emissions as more than three million cars.

...Calculating the carbon footprint of the entire web however is not as easy as measuring the greenhouse gas emissions of a car.

...Some studies estimate the internet will be producing 20 percent of the world’s greenhouse gases in a decade. That is clearly the wrong direction. That is clearly unsustainable...

*BANG*
cannot continue.  head exploded.  send Cosmos.

  1. "Some studies estimate the internet will be producing 20 percent of the world’s greenhouse gases in a decade."

    Only if you include the water vapour (steam) coming from all the coffee IT people drink.

    Oh, and throw in the collapse of all cement/concrete companies. The making of concrete accounts for about twelve percent of human CO2 release, and as far as I know there is nothing that can be done about it, so to reach the various reductions being promoted into law by pols it will have to be banned. The pols will be OK in their granite or sandstone palaces, but the rest of us…

  2. Who is this board-certified moron, Wissner-Gross?

    Never mind - here’s a real article:

    Revealed: How The Times Got Confused About Google and The Tea Kettle

    “Another concern I had with The Times article was that it neglected to accurately describe Wissner-Gross’s company, CO2Stats. The startup allows companies to purchase renewable energy to neutralize their website’s environmental impact and get “Green Certified” badges to display on their homepages. Because of this potential conflict of interest, Wissner-Gross’s affiliation with the company should have been described in the article,...

    But even if Wissner-Gross is telling the truth and he never misrepresented the origin of the data, he used a blog that could hardly be considered a reputable scientific source (no offense, Mr. Kersten) to write his article.”
    ------

    Somehow I just knew that the enviro-weenies were going to figure out how everything anybody does contributes to CO2 (and hence, to the End of Civilization As We Know It), and hence must be stopped, right away!

    Some of the commentors on the Sunday Times site asked innocently, “and how much CO2 does printing and circulating a newspaper with a circulation of 1.2 million people (not to mention their online hits) generate?”

    The world’s gone mad.

    Except, of course, for you and me.

    And sometimes I worry about you.
