European average carbon footprint for video streaming as producing 55g of CO₂e per hour. This CO₂e or carbon dioxide equivalent is a comparable measure of the potential effect of different greenhouse gases on the climate: 55g of CO₂e is 50 times more than audio streaming and the equivalent of microwaving four bags of popcorn

What the fuck is this article? This is not helpful in any way. Yeah du-doy the thing that uses electricity "creates" carbon. How bout we remove fossil fuels from the grid then?

1.1g per hour is ridiculously efficient. An average meal in the Western world is ~3Kg.

It's to put the blame on the consumer. Fuck these cooperate overlords. I'm hungry, when do we eat?
