Computer Servers vs SUV
There is an interesting article in the New Scientist quoting Global Action Plan’s comparison of the carbon footprint of computer servers against the SUV. The IT sector is reckoned to account for 2% of human generated carbon dioxide emissions each year. This make IT more akin to the airline industry than automobiles. So, the poor old SUV is just a scape goat, huh?
I was amused to note that this page on their website carried an advertisment from Land Rover for the Discovery 3.
