As the Gartner study says, the whole ICT sector's CO2 emissions are about the same level as whole airline industrie's. I think the value of article is to make people to understand that there is environmental impacts in all actions they make, whether searching something <a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=interesting&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&oq=" rel="nofollow">interesting</a> from Google or flying 1000km by plane for a vacation. How to really define CO2 emission of one search precisely is a difficult task. They probably had a good estimate in the article, but nothing else. Eero Thanks for the comment Endymion!
