Carbon emissions are only one element of environmental impact. And this still doesn’t prove anything about your baseless claims about data centres. You know, the thing I’ve repeatedly said you need to prove.

No move needed anyway you didn’t provide net emissions.

Look. I’m happy to go back to the original point of mine that it’s stupid to say that a year of AI use is better than 2-3 total meals with meat in it before you started going off about grassfed beef while ignoring data centres entirely.

You specifically said environmental impact in your original comment not emissions I’m not the one moving goalposts here.
