Google states .2grams, but I'd guess that's after their own carbon rebates have been applied.
10 billion kilo's ... and 2.6per day is 950 searches a year... seems like a bit of undercount imo.
Petrol is about 8kilo per litre, so, that about 500,000 extra cars for the year (and every year after that). Either a lot or not much.

How about the infrastructure and data centers running 24/7 + redundancy, cooling, streaming, etc... don't even mention crypto mining
