Streaming video contributes to climate change (dw.com)

It isn’t absurd in the sense that it’s untrue. It is factual that using electricity generated by carbon emitting processes affects climate change, but to factor every keystroke I’m making right this instant is a thought exercise warranting ridicule. We can cite the other extreme and condemn Bitcoin blockchain maintenance as an energy travesty.


To be clear, this is absurd. I'm posting so that the community can enjoy.


Thank you for this. Was so absurd it was laughable.

One of my favorite videos on how they like to use climate change to be the 'explain everything' theory.
