"Google's total emissions, disclosed Tuesday, have jumped 82% since 2019, and more than 18% just last year, even though it has committed to cutting them in half by 2030. Amazon's emissions, published Wednesday, have risen 58% over the same period, and more than 16% last year, despite a pledge to reach carbon neutrality by 2040." https://techxplore.com/news/2026-07-ai-weakens-climate-pledges-google.html
