Officials hugely underestimated impact of AI datacentres on UK carbon emissions

New data shows AI datacentres in the UK could emit as much CO2 as 2.7 million people, far exceeding initial estimates. This raises concerns about the country's net-zero carbon goals and the impact on global climate change. Critics argue the government failed to calculate emissions accurately, risking carbon budgets while millions still lack electricity. #AI #ClimateChange #CarbonEmissions #UK #Sustainability
