So using that theory everything man does on the planet earth causes climate change to some degree so -using that theory one can also see that the most radical of environmentalists will never be satisfied until the world returns to living in teepees and caves.
They're even banning Plasma TV's in Britain for criminy's sake, barely a decade old in the marketplace and they wanna pull them because they use more energy than lcd's an claiming 3 times the old cathode ray tubed televisions and monitors.
Giant plasma TVs face ban in battle to green Britain
So they make us switch to digital after 50 years of analog and then threaten to take away the product they just told everyone to go buy. Government and nuts mixed together are the ones ruining the quality of life around the world, in fact Obama just now talking about extending that stupid deadline that people and industry have had years to deal with, years!. Holy mother hen nanny state Batman....
Revealed: the environmental impact of Google searches
Times Online: "Performing two Google searches from a desktop computer can generate about the same amount of carbon dioxide as boiling a kettle for a cup of tea, according to new research.
While millions of people tap into Google without considering the environment, a typical search generates about 7g of CO2 Boiling a kettle generates about 15g. “Google operates huge data centres around the world that consume a great deal of power,” said Alex Wissner-Gross, a Harvard University physicist whose research on the environmental impact of computing is due out soon. “A Google search has a definite environmental impact.”
Google is secretive about its energy consumption and carbon footprint. It also refuses to divulge the locations of its data centres. However, with more than 200m internet searches estimated globally daily, the electricity consumption and greenhouse gas emissions caused by computers and the internet is provoking concern. A recent report by Gartner, the industry analysts, said the global IT industry generated as much greenhouse gas as the world’s airlines - about 2% of global CO2 emissions. “Data centres are among the most energy-intensive facilities imaginable,” said Evan Mills, a scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California. Banks of servers storing billions of web pages require power." INSANITY CONTINUES HERE
