Google's Growing Greenhouse Gas Emissions Linked to AI Energy Demands
Google's greenhouse gas emissions have surged by 48% over the past five years, driven by the escalating energy needs of data centers supporting AI technologies. Despite aiming to halve its emissions by 2030, Google's total emissions have surged since 2019, posing challenges to its net-zero goal.
The company attributes the emission growth to energy-hungry AI-driven data centers, raising uncertainties about AI's environmental impact and hindering the transition to clean energy.
