Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that using the internet has a large carbon footprint?

Yes. A peer-reviewed paper states the internet accounts for a large part of the ICT industry's massive carbon footprint, a few percent of worldwide emissions. Other papers note internet infrastructure and IoT consume large amounts of energy with environmental impact, though without quantifying the internet's overall footprint.
