Did something else happen in the past 5 years that massively increased demand for cloud services? No? No massive increase in video conferencing, online ordering, etc?
Those increases are a) modest compared to the US's overall climate emissions and b) not all due to "AI"
Google’s emissions are up 48% in 5 years. Microsoft’s are up 30% since 2020. Those soaring figures are being driven by mass investments in data centers to power AI tools.
Generative AI is a climate disaster and data center expansion must be stopped.
