Yeah, at this rate we'll be just fine. (As long as this is still the Reagan administration.)
yep the biggest worry isn't AI, it's India
https://www.worldometers.info/co2-emissions/india-co2-emissions/
The west is lowering its co2 output while India is slurping up all the co2 we're saving:
collapsed inline media
This doesn't include China of course, the most egregious of the co2 emitters
collapsed inline media
AI is not even a tiny blip on that radar, especially as AI is in data centres and devices which runs on electricity so the more your country goes to renewables the less co2 impacting it is over time
Could you add the US to the graphs, as EU and West are hardly synonymous - even as it descends into Trumpgardia.
China has that massive rate because it manufactures for the US, the US itself is a huge polluter for military and luxury NOT manufacturing
Still the second largest CO~2~ emitter, so it'd make sense to put it on for the comparison.
