I've heard this before, that Netflix creates crazy emissions, but why? Isn't it just a server sending a video by HTTPS

Also, if this is true, new argument for pirating just dropped.

Streaming or torrenting? Nah, the power it takes to keep those servers running and cooled is enormous.

Buying DVDs? Nah, the manufacture and distribution of those also has an enormous carbon footprint.

Getting the plaintext script from the Internet and making a local theater production out of it? Now THAT'S peak carbon neutrality!

Ah but what about when you factor in all of the commuting of the actors and staff (each in their own truck, the only PATRIOTIC transportation method) plus the emissions from the production of the costumes and sets, not to mention keeping the theatre running. No, I'm afraid the only neutral form of entertainment are rogue puppet shows and one-person bands.

In the future you either watch adverts for entertainment, or seek out the Puppeteers lurking in the sewer system.
