I found this story through Google, so you can blame me.

Research Reveals Environmental Impact of Google Searches

Performing two Google searches from a desktop computer can generate about the same amount of carbon dioxide as boiling a kettle for a cup of tea, according to new research.

Who was it that claimed to have invented the internet? Al...somebody.

Look, even if you accept the proposition that global warming is anthropogenetic, there's nothing you can do about it, as nearly every single human activity has been "proven" to contribute to it in some form or fashion. You even exhale CO2, you know. If you're serious about reducing your carbon footprint, go have yourself mulched. We'll use you to plant more CO2 scrubbers in the form of corn (farming has been blamed for global warming), which we'll feed to cattle (cow farts have been blamed for global warming), which we'll barbecue (outdoor grilling has been blamed for global warming).

Personally, I hate cold weather, so I'm Googling for barbecue recipes.
