Google illegally demolished an estimated 250,000 trees in Finland to make way for a data center, leaving behind a lifeless mud wasteland that forced packs of wolves into a nearby town in search of food and infuriated locals, according to a report.

    this is a civilizational damage that could take centuries to repair.

    The google forest cuts were 0.05% of the annual felling in Finland. Are we doing civilizational damage 2000 times worse, every year, than what Google did?

      Does your lemmy client not allow you quote full sentences? I wrote depending on the environment.

      Also, there’s a difference between responsible logging and clear cutting.
