Abstract

The article focuses on the concept of algorithmically embodied emissions, which refers to the contribution of algorithmic information systems to environmental destruction. It argues that such emissions are brought about by commercial information systems and result from societal meaning-making processes, influencing climate change. It reflects on the role of commercial search engines, social media, and recommender systems and their impact on environmental sustainability.
