Microsoft, Amazon, and Google datacenters emitted 104 million tonnes of CO₂ in 2025—equal to 33% of France's national total. Microsoft accounted for nearly half, driven by AI infrastructure expansion. All three have walked back clean-energy pledges: Amazon and Google dropped 24/7 carbon-free targets, and Microsoft's carbon-offset contracts were found to overstate impact. These figures are self-reported, so real emissions are likely higher.

The EU is considering watering down environmental reporting rules for data centres, a direct win for Amazon, Microsoft, and Google.
