摘要

软件可能正在吞噬世界，但同时也在加热世界。2023 年 12 月，来自近 200 个国家的代表齐聚迪拜，参加联合国气候变化大会 COP28，讨论降低排放的紧迫性。与此同时，根据网站可持续发展评分工具Ecograder的数据，COP28的网站每次页面加载产生3.69克二氧化碳（CO2）。这似乎是一个很小的数字，但如果该网站每月的浏览量为 1 万次，持续一年，其排放量将略高于从旧金山飞往多伦多的单程航班的排放量。

We Need to Decarbonize Software: The Way We Write Software has Unappreciated Environmental Impacts

SOFTWARE MAY BE EATING THE WORLD, but it is also heating it. In December 2023, representatives from nearly 200 countries gathered in Dubai for COP28, the U.N.'s climate-change conference, to discuss the urgent need to lower emissions. Meanwhile, COP28's website produced 3.69 grams of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) per page load, according to the website sustainability scoring tool Ecograder. That appears to be a tiny amount, but if the site gets 10,000 views each month for a year, its emissions would be a little over that of a one-way flight from San Francisco to Toronto.
