  Climate change is a pressing issue that is currently affecting and will
affect every part of our lives. It's becoming incredibly vital we, as a
society, address the climate crisis as a universal effort, including those in
the Computer Vision (CV) community. In this work, we analyze the total cost of
CO2 emissions by breaking it into (1) the architecture creation cost and (2)
the life-time evaluation cost. We show that over time, these costs are
non-negligible and are having a direct impact on our future. Importantly, we
conduct an ethical analysis of how the CV-community is unintentionally
overlooking its own ethical AI principles by emitting this level of CO2. To
address these concerns, we propose adding "enforcement" as a pillar of ethical
AI and provide some recommendations for how architecture designers and broader
CV community can curb the climate crisis.
