Needless to say, 100x growth would be a disaster: it would mean the data centres alone would consume 50,000 TWh/year. That would be 24 GtCO2e, so purely the emissions from making the servers would double of the global emissions budget to meet the climate targets. And that is without even taking into account the embodied carbon of all that infrastructure. (5/5)
