There are different opinions about what effect the yearly carbon emissions from the global IT industry really can have on the environment. The Gartner Group has estimated that emissions from the IT industry is about 600 million tons of CO2.
To put this into some perspective, let us look to Norway. The country is regarded one of the most developed countries in the world, and has an estimated total yearly carbon emission of 50 millions tons. In other words, the yearly emissions from the IT industry equals 12 years emissions from Norway. Let's get our "IT acts" together and do something about it. Spread the word, and use CCS!
