Britain's Met Office supercomputer
"Met Office supercomputer tops polluting list
The Met Office’s celebrated supercomputer, which has a major function of predicting climate change, has been identified as one of the worst culprits for pollution in the UK.
The £30 million IBM machine produces 12,000 tons of carbon dioxide a year."
