Reading this article on Slashdot about how Distributed Computing is being used “badly”, I came across this comment:

“Yet Anderson no longer runs SETI@home. ‘Instead, he donates his spare computer power to a global warming project. But he doesn’t presume to tell others what they ought to be doing with their CPU cycles.’”

Am I the only one who finds it slightly ironic that he is using his computer’s cycles to power a global warming project?  High usage CPU = more electricity used = more electricity generated = more coal burnt / gas burnt = more global warming.
