A report from Morgan Stanley suggests the datacenter industry is on track to emit 2.5 billion tons by 2030, which is three times higher than the predictions if generative AI had not come into play.

Before considering a ban, we should start by fairly taxing flights and burning of fossil fuel in general. That would include closing the loophole that makes plane ticket and plane fuel exempt of taxes. And of course a carbon tax.
That’d be probably enough to significantly reduce pollution from flights and data centers.

Tons from ALL CARS 3.5 billion. How the fuck are we catching up to the damage cars do so that I can ask a promt how long to boil an egg and it tells me you can boil them in 50 minutes if you use gasoline. Like fuck me.
