You can't just call things fake.

Money is the best thing to measure value.

Notice how I’m not even including emissions reduced by Google claiming parts of the market (so, for example, if Bing had 20% of search engine market share and generated 2X pollution, while Google had 80% and generated 8X pollution, Google taking over the whole market wouldn’t change total pollution output, because total pollution stays at 10X).
