2020: Microsoft sets goal to be carbon negative by end of the decade.
2023: Microsoft’s emissions are 30% higher than in 2020.
Main cause? The relentless push to meet AI demand, which requires new data centers built out of carbon-intensive steel, cement, chips.
Corporations will go green on public pressure.
How exactly were they planning on being “carbon negative” in the first place? Does that mean they were just gonna buy those carbon emission tax bond whatever the fuck they’re called, my brain isnt awake yet
They were going to shoot carbon into space with a railgun
Honestly that would be fuckin rad and I’d be 1000% on board
