The Woke Capitalism Thread (Get Woke, Go Broke)

Wasn't sure where to post this. For the last several years, the entire woke west has gone bananas over "CO2 emissions". Now they are claiming that a computer/server produces CO2.

I'm not an electrical engineer, nor a physicist, so I'm looking for an honest non-woke answer from someone who works professionally in one of those fields. A longer, scientific, detailed answer is fine...I can grasp it. I've searched online, but all I find is woke BS.

I know that humans produce CO2 when we exhale, but that is vital for plant growth, so whether CO2 is good or bad is not my question. I just need a scientific answer for the wokesters.

So, can computers, mobile phones, and other electronics REALLY produce CO2, as claimed? I would assume the production process using fossil fuels would produce CO2, but not the devices themselves. Am I wrong about this?

They use a lot of electricity, and that mostly involves making CO2. If the number of servers doubles, the total CO2 output goes up a lot.

OK, again...the generation of electricity to run the machines potentionally creates CO2 (unless nuclear/wind/solar), but the devices themselves do not create or release it.

Yes, that's true. The device doesn't create CO2. It only causes the release of CO2 if you use it.
