A recent CBS This Morning segment insisted that too many emails – “little” messages such as “thank you” and “got it” – would contribute to global warming. Speaking on Wednesday, correspondent Mark Phillips attempted to downplay the fact that COVID-19 would lead to a decrease in global carbon emissions. He focuses on how emails could offset the saved carbon emissions from less flying, driving, and commuting as a result of COVID-19 and lockdowns.
Phillips, however, emphasizes that humans ought to “hold the smugness.” “Working from home is not cost-free, and the more of us who do it, the more environmentally expensive it becomes,” he adds.
Phillips even slams “little texts” such as “thank you” and “got it”:
“Every e-mail and text, especially the unnecessary little ones — every “thank you” and “got it,” — every time we hit send or download or stream or Zoom, they all require power. Somewhere massive banks of computers are storing and processing that data, sucking up enormous amounts of electrical energy to do it. The cloud doesn’t so much have a silver lining as a carbon one.”
Attacking emails once again, he continues to cite a study about how “if everyone in Britain sent one less “thank you” e-mail a day, the carbon saving would be like taking about three and a half thousand cars off the road”

Not the Babylon Bee, which is the first thing I look for when I see a headline such as this.
How much do the private jets of the oligarchy, corporate excecutives and movie stars contribute to global warming?
CO2 is not a dangerous pollutant.
What’s dangerous is people believing that.
If they learned the Carbon Cycle in 5th Grade, they would know better. Follow the science.
They could attack junk mail and spam calls and I’d be all in.
C ontributing B ull S hit network usual and customary BULLSHIT.
communists trying to subvert America.
What he’s doing is trying to make people worry about sending any emails.
To eliminate discussion.
So the deep state won’t be exposed.
Everything, with these people is bad! They are unable to perceive the real world as it really exists. They follow the distorted little model in their screwed up heads. That is insanity.
First, isolate everyone.
Then cut off their electronic communications.
Then the postal service.
OCD maximum.
Think of how much carbon the citizens of the US could preserve by all of us just NEVER watching CBS ever again.
I mean, let’s all put that message out there. It makes a hellova lot more sense than what this libutard is spewing.
Are they setting the stage for the state to actively monitor how many emails you send?
Then perhaps cBS should just shut down and this clown simply stop texting, emailing, etc.
Mark Phillips was banished to London 20 years ago. Would bet a dollar he has not been invited to Black Rock in 5 years.
Thank you
Got it
