Efficiency??

This is about the total amount of emissions, not the emissions-per-unit-of-compute (or whatever).

Not sure what you're getting at. Increased system efficiency lowers total emissions or at least increases work capacity.

The climate doesn't give a toss how much value for shareholders is generated, all that matters is the total amount of emissions.

Unless you're looking to get rid of half of humanity and go back to living like the Amish I don't think we can put that genie back in the bottle.

What we can do is work on how energy is generated and increase efficiency. And this has nothing to do with shareholders.
