    For all the comments that say “the real problem is…”: this is crisis and working on all emission sources contributes to a solution not just the biggest emitters.

    Everything we online has an impact in the real world and there’s some value in reminding people that. And yes, some sites could be causing a lot emissions than others.

    Some are powered by solar, others by coal.

    ARM chips are more energy efficient than x86 and so on.

      We can have a real impact by focusing hard enough on 0.00001% of the problem!

      Oh wait, no, we can’t.

    HTTP, serving properly tagged semantic HTML file, with optional styling via CSS, and if you really want JavaScript for animations and live updates.

    Thank you.

      I’ve never seen an example of “properly tagged semantic HTML” or truly optional CSS outside of toy examples meant to illustrate the concept.

      But it doesn’t matter, because serving website content is an utterly insignificant to contributor to global warming.
