To put this in perspective: for CO2 emissions (which is what we're talking about here, I guess?), you have the Big Four, in descending order of pollution: transportation, electricity, industry and other (mostly commercial/residential), for a total of about 65 Billion Metric Tons of CO2 per year.

In transportation, the biggest polluter (by direct emissions) by far is shipping. This is about 8/65 (12%), compared to 1/65 (1.5%) for the much-maligned aviation sector, or the 4/65 (6%) for cars, that, for some reason, nobody likes to talk about.

Then, when it comes to electricity, data centers are really quite marginal: 0.4/65 (about 0.6%). And, like aviation, the sector is taking measures to Be Better: higher airco setpoints, mandatory purchase of "green" electricity, etc. etc. Unlike the shipping sector, which pretty much continues to burn raw dinosaurs just because they're based in a jurisdiction that allows, nay, encourages that.

So, if you want to get mad about emissions, start with things that actually matter, would be my take? I happen to be of the opinion that AI is bunk, and any energy invested in it is wasted, but that goes doubly or triply for the shipment of novelty hats...
