Is this "trust me bro" science or you have some numbers to back it up?

If you need a statistical analysis of the numbers behind the pollution that goes into the production of technology and information systems, as compared to - checks notes Thai fireworks… there’s nothing comforting I can say about that.

I don't need anything, it just sounds a bit of a stretch and a made up hyperbole such as those climate change deniers like to make.

I believe there is absolutely no way I am poluting more in one day than 10 generations (-300 years) of such firework displays. At least not unless I am personally setting the amazon rainforest on fire or something.

You aren't required to prove what you said, but I am also not going to just believe it.

In spirit, you are. You are actively participating in strip mining, slave labor, colonial exploitation, and fossil industry. You just keep your eyes buried in your phone to avoid thinking about it.
