I.e. they suddenly realized they are the only ones holding up the scam, and are pulling out the rug.

I never called it a scam.

I think it's commendable for a huge corporation building lots of data centers to (partially) offset that impact. Amazon, Oracle and others aren't. It's unhealthy for a single company to be most of the market.

Can you point to a factual source for claiming it's a scam? If India and China aren't signatory to climate treaties, should there be no collective action?
