Good day all. Are you aware that watching porn on the Internet causes global warming and climate change? According to scientists, it does!
It seems that when people watch porn, they breathe a lot more, thereby generating CO2, (Carbon Dioxide). CO2, besides being plant food, has been determined to be the cause of GLOBAL WARMING!! Here are the details from Sputnik News. (Yeah, it’s probably fake news but who cares?)
Watching adult films accounts for over 4 per cent of all carbon dioxide emissions associated with digital technologies, says a new study.
“Climate crisis: The unsustainable use of online video”, a report published by French think-tank The Shift Project, highlights that pornography makes up 27 per cent of all videos viewed online.
First, I think that number, 27% is on the low side. Second, WTF?
Furthermore, online videos – one of the most common forms of online entertainment – are said to generate 60 per cent of world data traffic, based on 2018 estimates.
That’s more like it!
In other words, it means that they account for 300 million tonnes of CO2 emissions per year (resulting from energy consumption), with porn ‘emitting’ just under 100 million tonnes – nearly as much as Belgium and Kuwait.
The authors point out that “viewing pornographic videos in the world in 2018 generated carbon emissions of the same magnitude as that of the residential sector in France”.
Damn! That’s a lot of heavy breathing!
Meanwhile, video-on-demand services such as Netflix or Amazon Prime reportedly generated the same volume of greenhouse gas emissions as the entire economy of Chile.
Chile has an economy? Who knew?
Digital technologies are estimated to be consuming 9 per cent more energy every year, but the situation is only going to get worse with the wider spread of ever-higher-resolution videos.
The authors propose to practice ‘digital sobriety’ – namely to reduce the use and the size of videos. This would require certain regulations to be put in place, which should be preceded by a public debate.
They write: “From the standpoint of climate change and other planetary boundaries, it is not a question of being “for” or “against” pornography, telemedicine, Netflix or emails: the challenge is to avoid a use deemed precious from being impaired by the excessive consumption of another use deemed less essential. This makes it a societal choice, to be arbitrated collectively to avoid the imposition of constraints on our uses against our will and at our expense.”
And there it is! You dirty people are using up all of the elite’s precious resources and possibly interfering with our lives. You will be regulated and since we know what’s best for you filthy little serfs, we have decided that 4K video is only to be available to the elite. You little peons will make due with 480P and like!
The manufacturers of this steaming pile of manure are the usual pack of Eurotrash elitists. I looked up the Shift Project and it looks like they are based out of Paris, France. (Be careful when reading their street address, At first glance, it looks like they’re in Hungary, but the Hungarians are way to smart to fall for this totalitarian claptrap) Honestly, if what they were saying was true, then they are some of the biggest violators and should immediately shut down their web servers, you know, to “SAVE THE PLANET!!!”
Of course, no one has ever heard of them who actually matters so I doubt they get a lot of traffic. Personally, I think this is just another Al Gore style con game to separate the stupid from their money. In fact, I suspect that their traffic this week might actually tick up significantly since I hit the site to see just how stupid they are. And they are pretty stupid)
