Does anyone have the working for this? I would LOVE to see it, given that (for a start): "a typical Google search on a desktop computer produces about 7g (0.25oz) of carbon dioxide" 1) Google searches are not done on a desktop computer, they are done in a server centre; 2) There is no such thing as a "a typical Google search" and how does a complex search differ in carbon dioxide output compared to a simple one, for example? 3) Desktop computers do not produce "carbon dioxide", they use electricity that causes it to be generated in a power station. And so forth... Is this the worst bit of maths on BBC News so far this year? Brian
