And how does it compare to Bitcoin?

Fewer people driving for viewing and other such activities. Better than even. At least for me. You?

Porn is King. Of course, they should all have to pay the carbon tax.

Wouldn't "getting your rocks off in more environment-friendly ways" produce about the same amounts of carbon dioxide anyway? Or doing any number of other physical activities? Sounds like bullshit to me.

A reduction in all online activities/use of electronics will help save the environment

Pretty sure if one were to calculate the amount of CO2 generated per orgasm porn would still have a lower carbon footprint than, say, dinner and a movie - by far.

I hate these junk science articles because they remove all credibility from actual science and are in general a poor representation of what actual science is.

If you follow the link it goes to another "science news" article, that references yet another "news" article, that is about "digital sobriety" whatever that means.

If you look at the numbers, you quickly realize that this is just a fraction ( 27% ) of a fraction ( 60% ) of a fraction ( 4% ) of a percent of all carbon emissions ( 0.00648% ) , and just dropping porn will not save the climate.

I skimmed through the original work and it seems to have a lot of problems that may not be addressed, for example the carbon production is based on energy consumption per byte, across the average, a number that may be wildly inaccurate due to the differences in energy source in a region and rates of information consumption. ( If regions that use only renewable energy consume more bytes than regions with high CO2 consumption, the results would look as if there were more CO2 produced per byte than the reality )

Don't care. Leave my porn alone.
