      What’s Apple doing in this picture?
      Apple doesn’t have any data centres in Ireland. Furthermore – their European data centre in Denmark uses 100% renewables.

      The valid point in this cartoon is undercut by sloppy research

      Kind of a shit image. If everyone acted responsibly a lot of the issues we have wouldn’t exist. But being as selfish as the massive companies that openly do as they please only for profit will only make matters worse and they’re getting worse. These images do nothing but push the idea that we are hapless fools, we’re foolish if we remain divided. That’s why the media is quiet to distract us from what’s in front of us a money hungry government, dodge deals with unethical companies ( Amazon ) and higher retirement ages.

      This image doesn’t make sense. Apple doesn’t have a data centre here. And even if they did they wouldn’t be blowing out plumes of black smoke. Or would the others.

      And it doesn’t remove the fact that recycling correctly isn’t a bad or wrong thing to do.

      Edit: the whole thread is getting a lot of very salty commenters who are angry at people for not just rowing in behind the narrative here. I’m surprised we have seen the usual “bootlicker” comments arrive in yet.

      This post has been tremendous bait for some of the most Reddit Brained people on earth. Um they dont actually put out black smoke, um what about India, um are you saying recycling isnt worth it.

      Yeah sorry lads he should write a little essay underneath the cartoon clarifying all this stuff for anal people who take everything literally.

      At first I thought “huh, DCs don’t put out pollution” but then I remembered all of these will have backup generators and they will be tested monthly.

      It’s still inaccurate and we use the services and enjoy the income from these companies.

      We need to use some of that income to deploy some nuclear and legislate around ensuring that all backup power supplies are not putting out any pollution. The DCs could be great for grid flexibility if they all also had massive battery banks attached to them.

      Google, Apple and Microsoft aren’t polluting the planet just for the hell of it, they do it because we the consumers buy and use the products and services they offer.

      This whole „climate change isn’t our fault, it’s the corporations/oil companies/illuminati“ spiel that seems to have taken off in the last few years is such a lazy, stupid, copout of an attempt at trying to deflect any blame away from our unsustainable habits and consumption.

      Fair point about the scale of it all, but you’re not blameless either with how much you consume and chuck out. Government needs to hold both sides accountable.
