That is a huge(!) leap. 'Carbon neutral' does not mean 'no side-effects' it means literally 'carbon neutral' of course there is pollution from the churn of obsoleting devices left and right.

Can we not keep repeating this myopic 'the only problem is X' and then creating a bunch of new problems from not accounting for externalities. I am reminded of the great horse-shit meeting of europe that ended with no solution and then the car came along and everyone was 'yay no more pollution' because for them 'pollution' was horse shit, not exhaust fumes.
