    Sure, data centres using off grid generation seems to be a large source of increase of emissions, but calling a part of 460 million tonnes (I assume that given that it says often built for tech companies means not all are) 2100 million tonnes is bad journalism. Inflating numbers when the true ones are bad enough just hurts your credibility.
