The carbon emmissions of the internet are often simplified to more data = more carbon — making streaming video the worst offender.
Streaming video happens most on fast, more energy efficient networks — so I think we overstate it's effect, compared to say a website with lots of images and scripts hosted on different servers, and accessed over 2g.
I'd love to hear from anyone with experience in this area who can suggest a place to learn more.
