Description: Are carbon emissions from streaming video harming the climate? The answer may disappoint you! Learn how we can engineer a carbon neutral future with CuriosityStream! curiositystream.com/simonclark In this video I look at the claim that YouTube is killing the climate, and that more broadly streaming video is a huge emitter of carbon. As we will see, the claim (and the media coverage of it) tells us more about how we perceive climate change than it does about YouTube itself.
