Microsoft emissions surge 27% as AI buildout crimps climate goals
Microsoft's greenhouse gas emissions jumped 27 percent in its latest fiscal year, the tech giant disclosed Thursday, adding to a wave of worsening environmental reports from an industry racing to build AI infrastructure. The disclosure follows similar reports from Google and Amazon last week showing emissions surging 18 percent and 16 percent respectively, as all three companies acknowledged that AI infrastructure expansion is outpacing their decarbonization efforts.
