AI Is Growing Faster Than Emissions Are Falling: A Lesson from Google and Amazon

Friends, I want to share an important signal from the technology and sustainability space.

Google and Amazon have released fresh reports, and the picture is not encouraging: Google’s emissions rose by 25%, while Amazon’s increased by 16%.

The main driver is AI: more data centres, more equipment purchases, and greater strain on the power grid.

The biggest impact sits in Scope 3 — manufacturing, logistics, chips and infrastructure, which companies only partially control.

Why this matters: without new solutions in energy, materials and supply chains, net zero becomes significantly harder for Big Tech.

Do you think AI is already changing the rules of the game for climate goals? #AI #Google #Amazon #Climate
