Google, which has an ambitious plan to address climate change with cleaner operations, came nowhere close to its goals last year, according to the company’s annual Environmental Report Tuesday.
Tech companies make the case that AI, including tools such as ChatGPT, is not only partially causing climate change, it’s also helping to address it.
In the case of Google, that could mean using data to predict future flooding, or making traffic flow more efficiently, to save gasoline.
Sounds like a fallacy. It’s a significant 13% year-to-year increase in pollution, with the hope of a future, potential, slim reduction in gasoline usage.

Ah yes the well known infallible AI responses like future flooding prediction:
"As to the question of flooding, according to data gathered we would place the chance of flooding at 99.99% in the area of Mons Agnes "
Prediction model: keep using me and the whole world will be flooded
Google: See! It’s helping us!
“could” is a word meaning “doesn’t”
