Google’s emissions climb nearly 50% in five years due to AI energy demand
Tech giant’s goal of reducing climate footprint at risk as it grows increasingly reliant on energy-hungry data centres
Global data center industry to emit 2.5 billion tons of CO2 through 2030, Morgan Stanley says
A boom in data centers is expected to produce about 2.5 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide-equivalent emissions globally through the end of the decade, and accelerate investments in decarbonization efforts, according to Morgan Stanley research.
AI already uses as much energy as a small country. It’s only the beginning.
The energy needed to support data storage is expected to double by 2026. You can do something to stop it.
