• Havard scientist misinterpreted about Google’s carbon footprint

    What a green relief, I can now rummage around the internet without a gram of guilt! At the start of this week we reported about the Google Search’s Carbon Footprint. But before the week ended, it is reported that claimer in question, the Harvard University physicist, has denied any such claims. His words have been twisted as he asserts that he has never mentioned Google in the study. Secondly he would never refer to any sort of measurement having to do with tea. His focus was exclusively on the Web overall, and he found that it takes on average about 20 milligrams of CO2 per second to visit a Web site. However the scientist did mention that a Google search has a definite environmental impact and Google operates huge data centers around the world that consume a great deal of power. But that need not stop us eco-bloggers from going about our job to spread the awareness of a clean green earth!
