    but if we consider day-long use as Figure 4, then it generates 13 times more CO2 than the flight.

    I might have a reading comprehension issue or something, but that sounds like using video conference software to attend a virtual conference for the length of one workday would generate 13 times more co2 than just flying to the conference itself.

      I understand it like this: all the energy & effort used to put up just one video that is been seeing by many worldwide is very harmful (carbon footprint). It’s about the scale the social networks work, the interconnected technologies, is just too huge. And if you think the airline industry hurts the environment then you also need to know this other problem.
