Dr Wissner-Gross's study claims that two Google searches on a desktop computer produces 14g of CO2, which is the roughly the equivalent of boiling an electric kettle.
Just running your own old crappy PC for 5 minutes to read the results would take about the same though.
Google however claims two searches would be less than half a gram combined.
Wissner-Gross wrote:Our work has nothing to do with Google. Our focus was exclusively on the Web overall, and we found that it takes on average about 20 milligrams of CO2 per second to visit a Web site.

"These days the political rhetoric of the past against the communists does not hold much resistance to ordinary people," Mr Irving said.
In the end what humanity chooses to believe will be more a matter of economics than of debate, deliberately considered choice, or reproduction. The more national societies that provide financial and physical security to the population, the fewer that will be religiously devout. The more that cannot provide their citizens with these high standards the more that will hope that supernatural forces will alleviate their anxieties. It is probable that there is little that can be done by either side to alter this fundamental pattern.
I wonder what the coming economic demise of the US, and the possible world depression, will do to increase the future numbers of religious adherants?

Another one is that these sorcerers place bounties on albino children. Steal (lop off) body parts. Digging up graves and taking the body. Eyes seem to be in most demand, then, it is internal organs..

In Detroit, Michigan, USA, one in 50 people are homeless. It took at least 2 days and 4 phone calls to police before the fire department (I guess the police couldn't be bothered?) came out to extract a man's body frozen in the ice. The body had been there for at least a month.
