The Times of London has backtracked on its assertion that a single Google search takes 10g of CO2. Google responed to the assertion by coming up with its own list of carbon emission data for searches. Google says a typical search takes one kilojoule of energy and emits only 0.2 g of carbon dioxide.
To provide some context, Google says a single cheeseburger has the same carbon impact as 15,100 Google searches.
