Greenhouse gas apparently. This article (http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/ET_Cetera/Googling_also_damages_the_planet_Report/articleshow/3964163.cms) says two Google searches = same CO2 as if you boiled water in an electric tea kettle? I am not sure I'm buying that line. A search takes about a quarter of a second or less, I understand that there are a shit load of servers connected to their engine, but really? Did I just kill our plant by searching for lolcats?

If that were the case wouldnt the world have ended by now? How many times a day people search google, it sounds like bullshit.

The article was debunked. It's fake.
