Google searches 'affect the environment' |
| Posted Date: Aug 18, 2009 |
London (PTI): The next time you do a Google search from your computer, please spare a little thought for the environment.
A new study has revealed that
performing two Google searches from a desktop computer can generate
about the same amount of carbon dioxide as boiling a kettle for a cup
of tea, which adversely affects the environment.
According to researchers, a typical search generates about 7g of CO2 while boiling a kettle generates about 15g.
"Google operates huge data centres
around the world that consume a great deal of power. Google are very
efficient but their primary concern is to make searches fast and that
means they have a lot of extra capacity that burns energy.
"A Google search has a definite
environmental impact," lead researcher Alex Wissner-Gross of Harvard
University was quoted by 'The Sunday Times' as saying.
In fact, Google's search engine
generates high levels of CO2 because of the way it operates -- when one
types in a Google search for, say, "energy saving tips", the request
does not go to just one server but to several even miles apart.
And, Google's infrastructure sends data
from whichever produces the answer fastest. Though the system helps
minimise delays, it raises energy consumption. Google has servers in
the US, Europe, Japan and China.
