Google’s carbon emissions increased 13% compared to 2023, according to the company’s annual Environmental Report. Justine Calma, a senior science reporter with The Verge, joins CBS News with more details on how artificial intelligence may be contributing to more emissions.

Eat Some Bugs
They're freaking laughing at us
Rules for thee, not for me…
It sounds like the reporter has no idea what she's talking about
Google dropping the ball here. There's zero need to get energy from fossil fuel sources. Spend the money on renewables and batteries.
Can you tell me what i didn’t know yet?
Google and big tech — Its ok when we do it
Sam Altman said he is going to do nuclear power ai to help.
I a broke consumer have to pay a gas guzzler tax but does Google pay for all these emissions they push more than my one car?
Rich gotta rich. 💪😎✌️ They get what they want when they want it. The end, 'n that's it.
Applied sciences.
I'm almost moved out of the states and I'll shutdown and make all new things and no longer sale old things and also I will soon close down Microsoft account and apple account and those are pretty much bankrupt as is oracle and adobe and att and wbd and the NFL and such so soon I'll be cashing out of the bankrupt economy and such due to the facts that it's not legal cause making the bankrupt etc.
I think Google usually uses green renewable resources.
Regulations and some maybe planes trains and automobiles and say the new methane laws and maybe also rocket and mining etc. So I'll shift over time and also more property and then they must buy electric power from whomever and also to build they force the contract and the materials and etc and they also Bitcoin vs federal reserve and Treasury etc.
So it's just like a short evidentiary and marketing and analytical phase of property taxes and business and then you got the USDA and the whole military courts and maritime service etc but they still think far extreme left conservative etc.
Ai is dumb
Chase love with all your heart, believing in fairy tales and happily ever afters, until you face the harsh reality that love is a fleeting illusion. In the wreckage of broken promises, you'll find a profound emptiness and the bitter truth that some things are better left unloved.
Can we just end this AI stuff already? Why do we keep making stuff like this?!
Oh, so Google gets an excuse, while the rest of us eet zee bugz. Great.
AI is demandig us to push carbon emissions up
Okay so build a nuclear power plant
She's a journalist, moves on, reads script.😆🙄😑
There are no ways to measure carbon footprint and the entire scheme is a money laundering tax break for corporations that buy carbon tax credits
AI also has some benefits but the wrong exceeds the right. I use Chatgpt for my work but would like it do reduce the environmental impact of its usage.
Ai data centers can do like cypto mining data centers did when the same problems were exposed. Just stop publicly reporting the emissions and power usages.
That’s why EVs are not eco friendly
Good
Carboon footprint is invted by shell the worst oil company😂
Also cbc propganda about evrthing
The tech industry keeps telling us we need to switch to EV's to save the planet, but turn around and increase carbon emissions by more than their EV's save us so they can produce AI…we seriously need to have that wealth redistribution talk with all these tinfoil hat wearing tech billionaires.
BOYCOTT AI
I mean companies woulds never lie to us ^^
What would be the worst that happens to them if they don't meet those criteria?
Not speaking about the climate, but to the companies themselves? Are there any downsides to them, if they are not on track?
I invested lot of money into the solution for powering AI already. That is the next leg up in the next few years. The answer is… nuclear energy. Aka: uranium.
Omg, the uptalk .
bitcoin taking all the energon cube from the autobot's
Photonics will make computation more efficient, then the energy problem of AI will go away like the Y2K bug.
Humans destroy the planet to create AI. AI recognizes the destruction performed to bring it to existence. AI attacks its creators because it learns that Humans are the force behind modern day extinction.
Almost sounds like how a whole franchise of movies got launched, don't it?
