Your Netflix binge-watching makes climate change worse, say experts. The emissions generated by watching 30 minutes of Netflix is the same as driving almost 4 miles: http://bit.ly/2SSrPxg pic.twitter.com/X8OftDUtbE

Of course, Big Think is sponsored by the Charles Koch Foundation. Gotta place the blame solely on the consumer!
They're trying to make it seem like the only way to reduce emissions is to eliminate all aspects of modern life. Make it seem hopeless.
It's also just wrong. Netflix doesn't just buy green power when possible, they also purchase offsets for their partners that haven't made the switch yet. That's why their GP is 257% of their reported power usage.pic.twitter.com/lKF1QONmpV
@bigthink hot take: individuals might be able to do something but it’s companies that are as wealthy as nations that need to sort themselves out, not Doreen from York who likes to watch reruns of Call the Midwife
It reminds me of the story a few years back that supposedly biking to work used more non-renewable energy than driving. Others worked it out - if the cyclist ONLY ever ate imported beef, flown in on jets, possibly.
Did they even bother comparing the impact to a parallel reality where billions of us were still buying (and tossing into landfills) a proportional number of VHS tapes?
It is far more complicated than *just* the data centres. Device choice. Wifi or mobile data make significant differences to the carbon intensity of watching video on demand or streaming.

Dear Big Think you could actually tremendous good with smart "how to really lower your carbon footprint" articles + video #storytelling. I'm sure Dr. Foley would we willing to advise you.
