A Harvard physicist last year estimated that just two Google searches generate about 14 grams of CO2--or enough to bring a kettle to boil.

Edit: Updated comments about these figures are here.

Comment by patrickjoiner: Although I would agree that Google’s servers result in CO2 emissions, this 14 g of CO2 per search is not accurate. See:bit.ly/anrzuz (Times refutation) bit.ly/cfmfyM (Comments by physicist) BTW I don’t work for Google.

    Adding this to my list of things I hate about Google (admittedly, every site will generate CO2, but still… shut the fuck...
