It's an ROI thing, as people are pointing out. You're hand waving that part away. A small business has to weigh an small annual fee and loss of control against buying expensive hardware and paying the salary of one or more IT professionals to maintain their in house systems. This also scales with the size of the company and their data, it's expensive for a small company to buy one or two servers and storage solutions, it's expensive for a big company to buy 20 of the same.

You also lose out on off-site backups (without more investment of course) and global availability. Will every company that has a global team roll out servers in every global region? Small companies can have global teams as well.

It's simply not cost effective for everyone to have their own infrastructure. Cloud infrastructure is the same as any other infrastructure, it is cheaper to pool resources and share

You're treating data as a special unicorn. Why don't companies manufacture their own computers? Why don't they build their own delivery vans?

I bet you fully support the government spending to do so?

If it's not about "climate change" and it's about poor management then I guess we got worse at managing it proportional to the accumulation of GHGs in the atmosphere. What a coincidence.

You're talking about a possible mitigation strategy as if the lack of extra mitigation is the root cause. Token acknowledgments of "climate change" and "yeah it's a bit warmer" are thin veils on your denialism

ok what do you think that costs? you've clearly given this a lot of thought to have such a strong opinion.

last word!

People still try to do this and insist on absolute emissions numbers rather than per capita to do so.

Yes Canada's total emissions with 40 million population is doing great compared to China's, what a feel good statistic, I guess we should build those pipelines and liquify that natural gas
