If the network is making only a tiny contribution to the climate change problem, then maybe it is not the right place to focus efforts. Assorted folk tales and bad jokes about looking for lost objects under lampposts and performing dances to keep tigers away come to mind. If, in addition, the use of the network helps individuals and society avoid practices that are far worse contributors to climate change, then maybe the Internet's contributions still constitute a net gain over the extended system. I really don't mean to argue against anything being said here -- we should certainly make improvements if we can and my (mostly subjective) impression is that some of our subsystems and protocols are horribly inefficient from an energy consumption standpoint. But I think it is important for us to look at whole systems and where efforts can product maximum impact rather than exclusively going on a search for low-lying fruit near when we happen to be.

Really need two sets of numbers, one assuming that the equipment and media are sunk costs and the other trying to estimate those costs a well, with or without various amortization assumptions.
