Real Time Carbon Emissions Calculator for Personal Computers

Abstract

Many researchers admonish the burgeoning global warming above pre-industrial levels which has catastrophic consequences for mankind. There are various sectors in the industry that contribute to the increase in carbon emissions. Industries such as textile, mining, steel, etc. emit huge amounts of carbon-di-oxide (CO2) every day. CO2 is termed to be the predominant greenhouse gas in global warming. Its levels are increasing without much flora compensating for it. It ultimately leads to climate change. Similar to other industries, AI has also started increasing its contribution to the deterioration of the environment. In this study, we focus on elucidating the negative aspects of Artificial Intelligence towards climate change. Calculations of carbon emissions have become a necessity to limit the usage of resources and increase awareness among people regarding the implications of global warming. Thus, the paper also discusses a real-time carbon emission calculator used to calculate the carbon emissions of personal computers.
