Google is Heating Up the Planet

CBS has a story about how Google is adding to greenhouse gases.

A Harvard University physicist says a typical search on a desktop
computer generates about 7 grams of carbon dioxide, which is comparable
to bringing a kettle to boil, according to a report Sunday in The Times
of London. And while that doesn't sound like a lot, the report notes
that Google handles about 200 million searches daily

This article only points out two things: one, there is a Harvard University physicist that doesn't have enough to do, and the media will carry any story about Google.
