A recent feature in the Times Online (UK) called "Revealed: the environmental impact of Google searches" is claiming that every Google search is responsible for 7g of CO2 released into the environment and that in aggregate, that's a whole lotta CO2.

I'd have to request a little perspective here...a book is responsible for 2500g, a cheeseburger can be responsible for as much as 3600g and Google responded saying that they're actually closer to .2g of CO2 released per search

When I think about how many trips to libraries and book stores, etc. I've saved with Google and how much they do for the dissemination of information generally, I think they're doing a great job.

There is a list of RSS based eco and green news feeds at http://www.ecowho.com/news/. Good thing is the ecowho RSS aggregation news feed service will work well on Mobiles, so you can track the latest eco news without having to eat up masses of bandwidth doing so. For instance most Nokia handset mobile browsers include a 'Web feed' tracking service in the menus somewhere.

On a separate point the whole climategate issue seems to causing quite a stir - see this article. Having being in academia myself I know the temptations around funding etc that come with getting the 'right' results.; ▶ Reply to This
