VentureBeat: Carbon emissions of U.S. IT sector more than meets the eye

    Co2 makes up 38-parts-per-100,000 molecules in the atmosphere.

    It would take mankind 5yrs to get to 39-parts.

    I couldn't understand some parts of this article Carbon emissions of U.S. IT sector more than meets the eye, but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.

    I posted an update on my blog...

    A couple of academic papers have recently tackled the same subject, showing very high estimates of embodied carbon.
    Daniel - the papers I mention are also a good source of info on the subject in general, if you want to dig in more (though they are not free :-( ).
    I also have a few related posts on my blog, from Feb 2007. They are probably easier reads, though far less informative. (I was just trying to understand the issues myself.)

    I read that it takes more power to show black on your screen than white. Is that true? I'm an electrical engineer and I'm not sure myself.
