One cheeseburger has roughly the greenhouse gas emissions of 63,000 Gemini AI text prompts.

A 2024 University of Wisconsin–Madison paper estimating one cheeseburger at 1.9 kg of CO₂e emissions and Google's 2025 research paper reporting a median Gemini Apps text prompt at 0.03 gCO2e imply that a single cheeseburger carries roughly the greenhouse gas emissions of 63,000 Gemini text prompts. The comparison rests on 1,900 grams of CO₂e per cheeseburger against 0.03 grams per prompt, a figure Google published in its 2025 research paper.
