Those emissions numbers absolutely FLOORED me. We so often forget how we contribute to climate change with things we take for granted- like a Google search! It is completely jarring.

yeah, and these were the few numbers I could find on it. I don't think that there is a lot of research on the exact scope of these kind of impacts. The digital space is often so separated from any real-world effects, maybe even in the same way that, on a larger scale, our lives are separated from the ecosystems outside them but that we could not exist without.
