“The information and communications technology sector as a whole is responsible for an estimated 2 to 4 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. By 2040, that number could reach 14 percent—almost as much carbon as that emitted by air, land, and sea transport combined.”
@vmbrasseur the US numbers for transportation emissions are much higher than that, in cities it's about half. Programmers driving to the office, even in an electric car, are not going to make up that wasted energy with lean code.
