Technology is already producing more greenhouse gases than civil air transport. Digital energy consumption is growing by 9% per year. A report recommends limiting it to 1,5%.

it's nothing next to GHGs linked to livestock farminghttps://www.viande.info/elevage-viande-gaz-effet-serre
The researchers found that a global shift to a "flexitarian" regime was needed to keep climate change even below 2 ° C, not to mention 1,5 ° C. This flexitarian regime means that the average world citizen must consume 75 % less beef, 90% less pork and half the number of eggs, while tripling the consumption of beans and legumes and quadrupling nuts and seeds. This would halve livestock emissions and better manure management would lead to further reductions. https://www.theguardian.com/environment ... aM3tWcT2OA
This time you are right and there is less than 12 years to act to avoid exceeding 1.5 ° according to the IPCC http://www.lefigaro.fr/sciences/2017/05 ... annees.php
