> BLOOM’s training run emitted 25 times more carbon than a single air traveler on a one-way trip from New York to San Francisco

Less than the cost to send the SF Giants to play the NY Yankees then?

I wonder how many SF to NY carbon units Stanford expends each year to send their various sports teams out to do important work?

This game is fun!

I agree! So many more possibilities too, like for example rather than simply downloading and locally storing the movie Predator once I am forced to hunt down a provider who currently has it and stream it directly each time I want to watch it. Between google, the streaming provider, the cost of all the extra networking equipment required to support this data, and the extra cost on end-user devices themselves I wonder what the carbon cost of copyright is?
