All, here are a few stats....to fly from Brisbane to LAX it costs the env 4,184 lbs CO2 per person http://www.terrapass.com/carbon-footprint-calculator/#air
to use a website the CO2 carbon output is: Wissner-Gross told TechNewsWorld. "Our work has nothing to do with Google. Our focus was exclusively on the Web overall, and we found that it takes on average about 20 milligrams of CO2 per second to visit a Web site." http://www.technewsworld.com/story/Harvard-Prof-Sets-Record-Straight-on-Internet-Carbon-Study-65794.html so that means...... 20 times 60 times 60 for one hour: 72000 milligrams, roughly 3 ounces... and lets say we err up....and times that by 100.....that would make 300 ounces......or even times 1000 for what reason I have no idea...just in case you have a thousand websites running .... 3000 ounces.......divided by 16 for lbs.......and we still get far less.... that of course doesnt count your laptop power....but then you use your laptop on the plane now dont you. now of course my case is extreme.... so from London to Paris its 728 lbs CO2 still far less (maybe even a hundred times less or more) than the average visit to a chat room....
