Yes, obviously AI is emitting way too much. It shouldn’t even be producing 0.2% of global emissions, let alone 2%. My main grievance is that no one ever talks about improving industrial and agricultural processes even though they produce around 29% of emissions and 20% of emissions respectively.

    Yeah agricultural land was what I tried to convey as well, fixed thanks (not necessarily land that is agriculturable for human edible produce though).

    Here are some other sources:

    %71

    %85

        Potentially yes but I think if it is always the same type then it deprived the land of certain types of nutrients. You need to rotate the crops.

          if you’re planting crops, sure. if you’re grazing grasslands, the story changes, and that’s most of what agricultural lands used for animals are.
